  1. CNA's on your floor?

    I am a CNA & nursing student. I can't believe that you would actually have to make a checklist for your NA's but it sounds like it's a must in your situation. I work in gyn-onc and on my floor these things are just expected. I start at the beginn...
  2. Applicants to forsyth techs 2011 adn program

    can you guys tell me when the confirmation day and the orientation day is? just curious :)
  3. Applicants to forsyth techs 2011 adn program

    Mine didn't come in today's mail either :\ I don't know why she would mail them out different days so I feel like I should have gotten it already. I had more points than some other people I know that got in. Ugh!
  4. Applicants to forsyth techs 2011 adn program

    Congrats ADN! I know a few other people who got their letters yesterday, which leaves me feeling a little discouraged because I didn't get one. I feel like a crazy woman scrambling to the mailbox 30 seconds after it passes every day! Maybe today is t...
  5. peds nurses

    Hi everyone. I am a nursing student, and current CNA II working in GYN-ONC. My dream is to work in pediatrics, but it is so very difficult to get a position as a nurse in one of these units at our hospital. I was hoping someone could tell me where I ...
  6. peds nurses

    Thank you all very much for the wonderful advice!
  7. Applicants to forsyth techs 2011 adn program

    Hi everyone! I have also applied for the Spring 2011 ADN program. I applied for Fall 2010 and received an alternate list letter. I never got called off of the alternate list. At that time I only had 143 points. I now have 150 but I still don't know i...
  8. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    Hey guys, I have a question... How do the clinical days work throughout the program? Like, that time do they start, what time must you be at the hospital, how many times a week are clinicals, etc. I'm planning on moving about 30 minutes from Winston ...
  9. Can a CNA get a job as a MA?

    In our state, the MA program is a 2 year degree consisting of a lot of clinical hours- then you must pass your boards. I know that here it would be impossible for a CNA to work as a MA.
  10. Nursing School vs. Family

    Hi everyone, I'm feeling a bit discouraged and i'm hoping for some feedback. I'm starting the ADN program at my school soon. I'm a single mom and recently moved back home with my parents after getting laid-off from my previous job. My parents are mor...
  11. Nursing School vs. Family

    Thank you to everyone who took time to reply to my post. I really appreciate the stories at tips. You all have made me realize that while it may be hard sometimes, I AM doing the right thing for me and my son. It's going to be a difficult couple of y...
  12. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    Well, I do believe that everything happens for a reason, so if I don't get in maybe it just isn't the right time for ME :] I am finishing BIO-165 now, and registered for BIO-166 in the summer- so I feel confident about getting in for Spring. I should...
  13. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    Nope! I still haven't heard anything :\ I know some people have told me that they got their call in July before class started in August about being accepted from the alternate list. I really don't want to get my hopes up because as hard as it is for ...
  14. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    congrats tmgordon! Do you know what spot you were in on the list? I'm still hoping!
  15. Hi everyone, I'm hoping to start the RN program at my local community college this fall, and if I don't get it i'll have to wait until Spring. Either way, I know it's a bit early but if I happen to be accepted for fall...is there anything I can start...
  16. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    I think you'll only have Nursing I and Pharmacology as long as you've done all of your pre-reqs, and I also think you start clinicals during the first or second week :]
  17. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    Congrats tm :] I have a feeling you won't have a problem getting in. You are 3 points closer than I am, and i'm thinking I might be at the bottom of the barrel. BUT, Ms. ***** did say in the info session that they usually take a lot of their alternat...
  18. Trying to make a decision! LPN? RN?

    I definitely understand your reasons for wanting to go with the LPN. Where I live, however, they no longer hire LPN's at any of the hospitals, and jobs are definitely scarce in LTC. The pay for LPN vs. RN here is very different as well. If I were you...
  19. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    Thanks for replying Manda! I hope that orientation went well. I'm not sure how many alternate spots there are but I thought I remembered them saying 15. If so, i'm probably at the bottom of the barrel somewhere- so I am hoping some folks do drop for ...
  20. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    tmgordon, you will probably get in. I got my alternate's list letter today- so I may be joining you guys after all! I just hope some folks decide to drop lol. Courtney, How many points do you have? The letter I received today said they accepted 147-1...
  21. Forsyth Tech ADN!

    Hi everyone! I am currently attending Forsyth Tech in Winston-Salem, NC. I was wondering if there is anyone who just started in the Fall that can tell me what their rank was when they got in. I know i'm not going to get in for Spring 2010 (my rank wi...
  22. Forsyth Tech ADN!

    Courtney - I replied to your post in the other thread :]
  23. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    tm - I would definitely have thought you would have made at least alternate list with a 146. I know I didn't get in either because I had about a 143. I was still holding out hope because I knew some folks last semester who got in off alternate's with...
  24. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    hi tmgordon, did you receive an alternate or rejection letter yet? i still haven't received anything!
  25. Forsyth Tech - ADN - Fall 2010

    Wow, that's pretty quick. I guess I will call. I know I would have heard something by now if I got in, I was just hoping i'd be an alternate. I had 143 points since I'm just now taking A&P :\ Thanks for replying!
