  1. 2011 Air Force Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP) Applicants

    thenameismac replied to kynchanted's topic in Government, Military

    I've been doing a lot of research on NECP and I was wondering are you only able to apply to community colleges. A lot of universities only offer 3-4 year programs. I'm not really sure how it works....

  2. Seemingly pointless classes

    thenameismac posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there anyone out there who feels this way about some of their pre-reqs? I am currently taking Philosophy and Developmental Psych and I find these classes to be utterly boring and just completely...

  3. Seemingly pointless classes

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We did have the same prof. I ended up getting a C in the class. That was pure luck though. By the end of the semester, after I took the final I had a 59%. She still hadn't posted all of my grades....

  4. Possible to take a few nursing classes from community college?

    thenameismac replied to marbear28's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of programs don't accept transfer nursing

  5. Do you think younger generations have a sense of entitlement?

    thenameismac replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I am 22 and have lost that sense of entitlement. Yes I used to be this way. When I first started working at 16 I was the type to (silently) say "I am doing you a favor by working here. I can quit...

  6. Anyone else feel like they are doing too much?

    thenameismac posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i know i am like one in a million who feel like i am taking on more than i should but i don't see any other option. okay, here is the situation. i really screwed up last year. so bad that i...

  7. Anyone else feel like they are doing too much?

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to update my situation now that it's the end of the semester. I got an A in the PCT program and will certified within a few days (to a few weeks). I got accepted to the PCT II program...

  8. Finding a job/how long does it take.

    thenameismac replied to tnearthmama's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm not saying you don't have a shot but a lot of posts (majority) state in the description that you need at least one year of similar work

  9. With all the attitudes at work - Now my daughter is turning into a Diva

    thenameismac replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    As bad as it is, you gotta hit him where it hurts. Maybe the threat of it will scare him into acting right. Either that or repeating freshman

  10. With all the attitudes at work - Now my daughter is turning into a Diva

    thenameismac replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    As a 22 year old who was a teen not long ago, I must pitch in. Taking away electronics works and so was moving out. Senior Year First Quarter: GPA 1.88 (lowest ever!) Consequence: No internet for...

  11. Nursing Student Looking For Hospital CNA/PCA/PCT Position And Struggling

    thenameismac replied to SuchanSuch's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    In addition to what the previous poster stated, most places won't let you work as a CNA unless you have the certification. I know people who do what CNAs do but they can't get a job any place other...

  12. Anne Arundel Community College: Fall 2011 RN

    thenameismac replied to Sarcastikate's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Why not go for the PCT program? I am finishing up PCT I right now and then will go right into PCT II which include Phlebotomy. It's really easy to get in too. You don't have to worry about GPA (mine...

  13. Best time management tips that worked for you?

    thenameismac replied to Aly529's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Coming from someone in the same position (except with no hubby) I agree with everyone here. Definitely keep a schedule and don't forget to do the assignments before the deadline. I've done assignments...

  14. Working in a Nursing home

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I am almost done clinicals for the semester and we've done them at the nursing home first then the hospital. The only thing I didn't like about the nursing home was that everything seemed so closed...

  15. Working in a Nursing home

    thenameismac posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I was just wondering for those working in nursing homes, what kind of benefits do they offer if any. Is there health insurance and tuition assistance? What are some of the perks of working in a...

  16. Finding a job/how long does it take.

    thenameismac replied to tnearthmama's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    If you are just getting your certification a lot of hospitals won't hire CNA (or CNTs) with that year experience. You are limiting yourself to days (which is okay) and hospitals (which is cool, I...

  17. Working in a Nursing home

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thank you for replying. I am from MD. As it's looking right now I don't have much choice but to work during nursing school. Hopefully I can get hours where I am least productive with school like in...

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thanks for the replies! I really appreciate

  19. CNA job

    thenameismac replied to nursnovice's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Sorry it took me a while to respond. I've been without internet for a few days. I am not a nurse but I've been researching the field for a couple of years solid so I know exactly what I'm getting...

  20. Seemingly pointless classes

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i actually like aacc a lot. it's way better than the city. i'm in their pct program right now. i take 2 online classes at bccc and the one program at aacc this semester. aacc has one of the best rn...

  21. repeated one of the pre-requisite class, still wants to get in nursing school

    thenameismac replied to Mentalageis16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with others on this post. If the website states that you can't apply if you repeated a course than you can't apply with a repeated course no matter what you grade you got for whatever reason....

  22. Coppin State Gpa

    thenameismac replied to tinasky2005's topic in Maryland Nursing

    What is the schedule like at Coppin? I would like to work during the program (don't have much choice) and I don't know if I should work 3-11 or 11pm-7am. What would think would be the better option?...

  23. Transferring nursing credits

    thenameismac replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    I know a lot of schools will not allow you to transfer credits. You will have to apply to their program and take their classes in their order. But if you check kinda deeply into the desired programs...

  24. Seemingly pointless classes

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is too funny. We are in the same class. I took Psy 101 at AACC and got a B (I didn't study much when I first started college a few years ago) and I was so interested in Psych but this prof now...

  25. CNA job

    thenameismac replied to nursnovice's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Usually after taking Fundamentals of Nursing you qualify to sit for the CNA exam and that is after the first semester in the nursing program. It's a cheaper route but not really the shortest because...
