  1. BSN? ABSN? RN? Confused as to what I need, please help

    NCphoenix replied to Lurdes777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MyBrowneyedgirl - I like your keychain. Lurdes777 - this is kind of the route that I chose to take. I was looking at a BSN (4-year university), the local CC and there is also a Diploma program but...

    NCphoenix replied to studentmom2007's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi studentmom2007, Congratulations on possibly moving to the Triangle area. I am also hoping to go to Durham Tech for nursing next Fall 2010. I am doing my last pre-req and will be taking the NET in...

    NCphoenix replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks, got a plan in place. I'm taking my last pre-req for Durham Tech - they changed from Abnormal Psych to Developmental Psych. I'm taking their Compass test this week. I haven't taken a...

    NCphoenix replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi JonesKD, Thanks so much for the encouraging words. To provide an update, I've made my peace with a lot of things that are out of my control and am now more motivated than ever, still a bit...

  5. Worried transfer student applying for an RN/BSN college :(

    NCphoenix replied to MissHeatherD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Coriander - I also first went to college about 20 years ago for a completely different major and due to a personal/family crisis did very poorly my freshman year. I was able to find my way back to...

  6. Need solution to grade problem.

    NCphoenix replied to jcane002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter how many credits you have. They will transfer in what they can use and you build on that. I have about 90 credits and am applying to my local CC for an ADN. I missed the cut-off for...

  7. Can't Get Hospital Volunteer Opportunies in Raleigh area

    NCphoenix replied to rubypie's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Were you able to select where you'd like to volunteer? I'm planning on calling tomorrow to find out if I can select the Duke Urgent Care at Brier Creek since it's the closest to me. I need proximity...

  8. NC CNA Books

    NCphoenix replied to bluerose683's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Now that you mention it, I think I"ll look into the BSN at UNC again. Originally I had hoped to get into the ADN at Durham Tech for this Fall but I didn't get done with my pre-reqs on time so now...

  9. NC CNA Books

    NCphoenix replied to bluerose683's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    NClady31, I would love to meet. Thanks for all the tips. I will definitely check out the YouTube video and look for the paperback. I think I should be fine challenging the exam. Just in case, I'll do...

  10. NC CNA Books

    NCphoenix replied to bluerose683's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi NClady31, I would prefer to challenge the exam, mostly because of time constraints. I don't think the class costs that much at Durham Tech but it does take 4 months for the traditional track. I...

    Hi, I spent the summer tending to sick relatives - it's been the summer of operations - my niece, my daughter, my sister and my nephew. My daughter had a bunionectomy; the surgery went well but the...

    NCphoenix replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds very good to me Have all of those 20 years been in the ER? What path did you take to get there? Do you work FT? if so, do you have to? evenings? I would love to work 2-3 days a week at...

    NCphoenix replied to kgmiller1's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses. The priority will always be my children but I need to make sure that I pave the way as I raise them to have a career that pays enough to be worth it. I also want to be headed...

  14. juggling motherhood and nursing

    NCphoenix replied to kgmiller1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still trying to decide if nursing is the right career for me. I currently have a flexible job that pays well but is not fulfilling. I'm still here because it pays well and I have the flexibility...

    NCphoenix replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I forgot - you may want to check this out as well: http://vlc.nccommunitycolleges.edu/ It's the link for all the community colleges in North Carolina and has a distance education page. When I took my...

  16. A&P classes online?

    NCphoenix replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I took my A & P II at University of Phoenix. I checked with Durham Tech first to make sure they accepted it and they said they did. It's more expensive than any of the CC but if you can get the...

  17. NCCU's program

    NCphoenix replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    If my ultimate goal is to get the MSN, do you think it's necessary to get the BSN? It seems unnecessary to get a BSN if I can go straight for the MSN. Would there be any benefits to getting the BSN...

    NCphoenix replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are some online options for science classes with labs. You should check with your school first to make sure they accept them - mine did. It's more expensive and a lot of work but worth it for...

    NCphoenix replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two more things - I was reading the nursing students forum since that's where I'm heading soon (all pre-reqs done ) . They have some similar threads of being nursing student while pregnant - as I've...

  20. CNA Testing - Durham. Good Test Site!

    NCphoenix replied to Shawbunny's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm thinking of challenging the test too - probably there as well. How did you prepare? Do you have any clinical experience whatsoever? I have years of health education and work experience but no...

  21. Pre Nursing with Kids along for the ride??

    NCphoenix replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! You've given me even more hope. I mean I'm confident enough that I will somehow manage. My biggest concern is the financial aspect but I'll also work that out. My husband is supportive, though he...

  22. NCCU's program

    NCphoenix replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  23. Highly motivated pre-nursing now getting discouraged

    NCphoenix replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    NCphoenix replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
