  11. UNC School of Nursing vs. Watts School of Nursing

    i'm at unc. my husband is applying to watts. it takes longer to meet pre-reqs for unc but sounds like you met them already. program is intense. watts is very supportive, smaller school, about the same cost as UNC from what i've heard. you end up with...

    NC is $19-$20
  13. How to deal with slack students

    Just thought I'd take a break from studying to laugh a little. I have many associates like you are describing. Unbelievable. I think that some will be good nurses and some won't. Some of the jump in folks are going to be bad nurses too, though...they...

  22. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

    $11.00 - $13.50 is what we make depending on experience in NC. Still pushing the worth it thing even for that pay if you are in a unit where you are not appreciated. Although, I guess it depends on who you work with and how you are treated and the cu...

  25. Info Needed re UNC ABSN Program

    I know a lot of ABSNers even though I'm a 24 month student at UNC. The ones I know had about 3.5 on pre-reqs. Essays should be heartfelt, honest, and sincere. Volunteerism is very important to UNC SON but so are real life experiences...so if you don'...
