I heard the same about cpcc..and they have lecture, clinicals, or lab basically all week which would make it alot more difficult to have even a part-time job at cpcc...

wow, I would really appreciate if you could send me that, Im sure you understand how anxious i am to know more about the program!! Congrats on nursing school as well! my email is .... The community service sounds good. Thanks again!

Just out of curiosity, where did hear that Presby isn't hiring their own grads?

I am a CNA working for a home health agency. I can understand where you are coming from...Obviously, Im am there to take care of my patient's adl's. In the care plan I am to "complete light housework as pertain to patient's living space, which includes light meal prep and cleanup" The patient coordinator made sure to emphasize to me to ONLY "tidy up" the patient's living area. I have been with the same patient for about 9 months. NOW to the annoying, dirty part of the story. My patient has two ADULT sons living with him along with his wife and his wife's mother. They think I am their chauffeur/maid/cook/etc!!!!!! In the beginning, obviously, I wanted to make a good impression, so I would do extra things here and there, but they just took it to the next level. They even asked me to not wear scrubs anymore so I could take them places, and run their errands. NOT errands for my patient, for his mother-in-law and his wife. I mean I can't even explain how much extra I do. What I refuse to do is clean up after their lazy sons. One is 22 the other is 24. Only one works, they are dirty and lazy, they don't go to school, they make a mess and leave it there and in the begin I would clean it up because I had to use the kitchen after them but not anymore. I leave it there and purposely not wash their dishes etc.. THey even leave the fridge open, just open, they grab a drink and leave it OPEN!! HOW LAZY!!! IT SOOOOOO ANNOYING!! The absolute worst days are mondays, they dont have anyone come on weekends and mondays their house is disgusting, especially the kitchen, and I cant work in filth so I end up cleaning up their mess. I am putting up with it because as a CNA its good pay and they are flexible with my schedule which is very important since I going into nursing school this semester coming up, and I have a young daughter. Don't get me wrong, I understand completely that as a CNA some of these things are my duties, but seriously, they take advantage of me. thank you for letting me vent.

as a CNA I was originally offered $9.50 but when they found out I was bilingual they offered me $11 starting pay, no benefits...btw I work with a home health agency

ditto

well i think that since majority of the classes are pre-reqs for their program and we were excepted, that should mean the classes do transfer...i think?>???

yeah i looked up the mock schedule, according to that i would only have one class as well! I wonder if thats accurate?? I just went to the Presby website looked under students and then loans or financial aide...it explains it there,, I'm so excited to start school!!

I got my acceptance letter for Spring 2010! This was my second time trying, but it feels like I have been waiting forever! Going to Queens University in Charlotte NC. Good luck to everyone waiting, i know the anxious feeling!

Congrats!

My name is Aileen, you? I am also waiting to hear from CPCC, but I think I would choose Queens in the long run anyway. I would be interested in doing the RN-MSN program later and I would be able to use all my credits if I go to Queens, not true for any other school. You know Presbyterian has a scholarship program where if you sign a 2 year work contract with them they give you $5,000 per year.

i took all my pre reqs at Cpcc as well...except Sociology..from what I saw on their website its $365 per credit hour..not cheap!

i just got accepted for jan 2010!

I know in charlotte nc, we can take it every 6 months

I just got my acceptance letter for the Queens associates program starting in Jan 2010:yeah:! I just wanted to see if anyone has any advice, tips? How are the classes setup? etc, any info will help me feel more at ease because I am sooooo nervoous! I am ready to start, just worried what my schedule will be like! I have all my gen ed classes done except Sociology, so I will be just taking the Nursing courses. ---new to allnurses, am I posting this in the correct place?? Thanks!!
