    Hello everyone, Just wanting to know if there are any students who are attending Gvill Tech who are currently planning on attending the nursing program,taking pre reqs or who have just started taking...

  2. Greenville Tech students

    Scyankee replied to Scyankee's topic in General Nursing

    As a student who just started the clinical part of the program this past January I can tell you to hold on tight and enjoy the ride. The five week classes go very fast. For the first fifteen weeks...

  3. Help with Scrub color.

    Scyankee posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    So I am about to take a CNA class as I believe it would be a great way to get my feet wet when it comes to the basics in nursing (that and it would help in my weighted nursing school application) The...

  4. No RN Jobs Anywhere....Help!!

    Scyankee replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

    I should be starting clinicals next spring at Gvl Tech. Did you have a CNA job or any other job in the area? I know from others that the job market is tough here but just one question. I everyone...

  5. Does any one know the answer to this??

    Scyankee replied to Pinkpea11's topic in General Nursing

    One more point. Just like eating snow it takes energy to melt the snow in your mouth leading to very little hydration. Milkshakes being thicker, frozen drinks may take extra energy to process from...

  6. Does any one know the answer to this??

    Scyankee replied to Pinkpea11's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm going against the grain here. The question says on a HOT day I would think they are trying to imply that the purpose of the drink is primarily to keep from becoming dehydrated. So my...

  7. Looking to move to SC from Boston

    Scyankee replied to HDfatboy's topic in General Nursing

    Remember that smaller cities have fewer hospitals. I know students who have graduated and are being told no one is hiring in the Gville area. Now they are new grads and that is a problem everywhere...

  8. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

    Scyankee replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    It is amazing that so many people agree with this crazy idea. What we see now is all the no new grads, at least one year experience. What do you think we would see if everyone was willing to work a...

    Scyankee replied to Scyankee's topic in General Nursing

    Tips, keep up with the grades. Looks like the points to get into the programs hit a record high this semester. 31 minimum for the LPN and 52 for the RN program is what i heard. That makes graded...

  10. Is this school worht it???

    Scyankee replied to xLovelyMakeupx's topic in LPN to RN

    Also keep in mind that a lot of these so called colleges do not have transfer agreements with other schools. This means when or if you wish to pursue your degree further none of your credits transfer...

  11. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

    Scyankee replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have to remember what you are selling: Yourself. Every time you send out a resume, you are trying to sell yourself, your skills and your training. First rule of business is never...

  12. Which matters more, school name or degree?

    Scyankee replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    If you take a minute and read the employment opportunities available right now I think you would find that a large majority say something like (Check out indeed.com). Minimum one to two years...

  13. Any other schools?

    Scyankee posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello everyone, I am currently enrolled in my local community college taking all my prereqs and was wanting some good school advice. I plan on finishing my prereqs and getting my two year ASN degree...

  14. Dilemma: Should I settle? Is it worth it in the long run?

    Scyankee replied to Mariposa2009's topic in General Nursing

    Knowing that you have been offered a job in LTC, than why not take the clinic job for now and keep applying for the hospital positions you are looking for. Remember that with the experience you gain...

  15. Need help with first semester classes after being out of school 28 years , Need help

    Scyankee replied to Carolinanurse50's topic in General Nursing

  17. Greenville Tech students

    Scyankee replied to Scyankee's topic in General Nursing

    I am ready. I'm taking Bio 210 in fall also. Right now Im taking my CPT and Math 101. I decided to take 101 as a way to start applying early by completing my LPN requirements so that I can apply...

  18. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    Scyankee replied to DanainOrlando's topic in Nursing Career

    I would say take a look at the classes you'll need to take in both bridge programs. I know there is a bridge program here for both but those who choose the medic first still end up taking a lot of...

  19. Starting Pre-reqs and Getting Nervous

    Scyankee replied to Tonyapate's topic in General Nursing

    Just a question, are you taking a ASN or BSN program, community college or university? Dont read too much about others. Trust me for everyone of those "smart" ones who failed there is one of those...

  21. LVN vs RN

    Scyankee replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Here at Greenville Tech in SC the answer to that question is YES. In fact you can sign up for the LPN program here and after the first year they ask if you wish to continue to the RN program as it is...

  22. LVN vs RN

    Scyankee replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Same here, The first year of your 2 year ASN RN program is the exact same curriculum as that of the LPN (LVN) program. That means if you failed out of our RN program in the first year you also...

  23. Low GPA, chances of NP?

    Scyankee replied to NCcardiacNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, if you are finding it hard to find the time to keep your GPA up don't expect your classes to get any easier. Working on that NP classes are going to get a little more vigorous. If you are...

  24. Aspiring Male Nurse, Looking for Advice

    Scyankee replied to keenanbean's topic in Nursing Career

    If you are finding schools that only require one year to complete they must not include the time required to do any pre-reqs. I know here in SC we have a few LPN (LVN) classes that take around a...

  25. Is it worth going to school to be an LPN?

    Scyankee replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of times when getting your LPN would be helpful. For one a lot of (RN) nursing programs either have long waiting lists for weighted admissions. Already being an LPN adds a few extra...
