  1. Starting PCT program in Spring 2011

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

    @KareBear wow. That's sounds awesome. I just had to be CPR certified. I got that last May. The PCT class I'm going to take I think will also qualify you to be a GNA. How is it working at a skilled...

    Wow really? I was thiniking about possibly keeping my day time job i have now and working part time as a PCT. I know they don't make that much money but I still have bills to pay and I pay for...

  3. How much homework for CNA class?

    thenameismac replied to cantfindmyshoes's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    @NiquiCNA- I just think the basics have to come from somewhere. I agree that you learn a lot from experience but someone has to teach you that and why some things you do are important. Even if you...

  4. Starting PCT program in Spring 2011

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

    For the longest time I stressed myself out over the past. There is nothing you can do to change that. Things happen for a reason. I am glad that I made all of those mistakes in the past because it...

  5. Starting PCT program in Spring 2011

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

    That's how I feel about going to med school. It's so far ahead that I shouldn't worry about it just yet. But I am excited and nervous about everything. PCT program, Nursing school, working,...

  6. Towson University's Nursing Program

    thenameismac replied to Hargrove86's topic in Maryland Nursing

    From what I read on the site Towson is one of the more competitive programs in the area. That's not to say that you won't do great on your entrance exams. I'm sure all types of people get in but i...

  7. Excessive nursing applicants everywhere!

    thenameismac replied to ready2getoutofCT's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I totally agree with you but I wouldn't worry too much about that. There are so many people who go into this field for money that when they actually get to nursing school or (by some miracle) become...

  8. Coppin State

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Wow. That's very interesting. I am starting a PCT program in January at AACC. Then I have one more year of prereqs and then hopefully I will start Coppin as a sophmore by August 2012. I know that's a...

  10. How long have you been working on Pre req's?

    thenameismac replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I learned that if you know deep down in your heart you don't have the time or energy to take more than 2 classes then don't. No one is rushing you and it sucks if you fail and have to do it again....

  11. How much homework for CNA class?

    thenameismac replied to cantfindmyshoes's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If I could kudos this a thousand times I would. A lot of ppl are saying this class is a joke and common sense and whatnot. That may be true but it's all about learning the material and being the...

  12. How long have you been working on Pre req's?

    thenameismac replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. I just work fulltime and I'm still young but it's still taking me forever. I started going to college right after high school (2006). 2 years later of failed classes and no degree I changed my...

  13. Economy/ Nursing Students

    thenameismac replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I agree. I don't think it's recession proof. However, I think the economy does affect pre-nursing and nursing students. Hopefully in the long run, people will retire or move on to higher positions...

  14. Coppin State

    thenameismac replied to thenameismac's topic in Maryland Nursing

    How soon would you think that someone would need to apply for the program? Like of course not wait until the deadline but do you think once the program starts to open for registration for the program...

  15. Finally doing it - going for RN school

    thenameismac replied to Derek1975's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad that you decided to make that decision. I am so happy for you. A lot of people have a hard time just making it this far. Keep up this kind of attitude and you'll be able to accomplish...

  16. Cheap textbook sites?

    thenameismac replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    half.com is where I get most of my books from. I believe that it's linked with ebay. I find that the books are in the exact or better condition than described and the prices are really good. I once...

  17. Health Insurance?

    thenameismac replied to Missyooo17's topic in General Nursing

    That's totally the problem that I'm going to

  18. I'm a smidge guilty

    thenameismac posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I keep reading all of these posts that talk about how they hate when people go to school for Nursing just for the money. I must say I feel a bit guilty. To be honest, as long as I get to help people...

  19. Looking for Nursing School options

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

    You could try getting your ASN first and then go back for your BSN. That way you could get in the field quicker. And you can generally get those at your local community college. If you keep up your...

  20. I'm a smidge guilty

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

    You are absolutely right. Why SHOULD I care what other people think? Even if I did go into this field for the money that would be my business and mine only. You're right. The people who get mad at...

  21. I'm a smidge guilty

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

    This was encouraging thank you (as were the other posts). You had to think about your current situation and what you like to do and go from there. That's how I am. I'm stuck at this deadend job and...

  22. Work and school

    thenameismac posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I must say that I am stumped. I don't know where this post belongs but since I'm in this forum I am going to post here... I am sort of depressed (not terribly depressed just yet). Here's the thing:...

  24. Coppin State Nursing School Good?

    thenameismac replied to Cherish's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the response. I think a lot of us were dying to know what it was like at Coppin. Getting into the program is pretty straight forward and simple and I, personally, wanted to know is it...

    What's homecare? I'm so ignorant to anything related to the healthcare field. Like what do you do and how can I search for such a
