  1. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    Contractor2RN010 replied to dragonfly414's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind answering your questions at all. My advice about the tattoo would be to just not draw attn to it. I have many classmates with small tattoos on the back of the neck and wrist and I've...

  2. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    Contractor2RN010 replied to dragonfly414's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure we're wearing a Barco 7178 three pocket unisex vtop. It appears to be still available, and thank god for that because women's tops wouldn't be too flattering on a guy my size, lol. I'd...

  3. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    Contractor2RN010 replied to dragonfly414's topic in General Nursing

    The scrubs are Barco in Hunter Green, but I see you've already done your research on that. There was a small selection of white labcoats we were allowed to choose from also, but no white scrubs. I...

  4. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    Contractor2RN010 replied to dragonfly414's topic in General Nursing

    I'm quite impressed with the program and most of the faculty here. Clinical sites can extend as far south into Lawrence MA, but for the most part all are within thirty minutes of campus in Dover,...

  5. Great Bay CC Clinical sites

    Contractor2RN010 replied to dragonfly414's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on acceptance! I'm a fourth semester student at GBCC, and if memory serves me right our first semester sites were in Dover, Exeter, Portsmouth, and Brentwood. Speaking as a commuter,...

  6. Entering RN program in Fall 2012 - what to choose: MCC or GBCC

    Contractor2RN010 replied to simply_commenting's topic in Men in Nursing

    Congrats on the acceptance! As a student at GBCC I've been very happy with my experience. I see you're going to be a commuter, and aside from seacoast area facilities we also have clinicals at Exeter...

  7. Male nurse working with female patients.

    Contractor2RN010 replied to andrewmiller1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's been my experience in clinical that female patients over 50 or so sometimes aren't comfortable with male nurses. Don't get me wrong, they'll let you do their assessments, wound care, and med...

  8. Working as sole earner in Family: How to make the transition to nursing student?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to ArrowRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If your income will be that low, see if the Health Profession Opportunity Grant is available in your state. It's a fairly new grant that's a bit difficult to find info on, but if it's available in...

  9. Working as sole earner in Family: How to make the transition to nursing student?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to ArrowRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You can do this. It's been almost three years since I returned to school and I'm in my final semester of an ADN program. I worked in the construction field, and continue to work weekends and through...

  10. GBCC 2011 Hopefuls

    Contractor2RN010 replied to omoore23's topic in General Nursing

    Overall I'm quite happy with the program, they want us to succeed, and although it can be quite tough to get in, once accepted the failure rate is quite low. It sounds like the new scoring system...

  11. GBCC 2011 Hopefuls

    Contractor2RN010 replied to omoore23's topic in General Nursing

    It's a great score, I'll graduate in May and you would very likely have been accepted in my class with those scores and A+P completed. I wouldn't worry too much about the science, a 91 is great, and...

  12. Are there any scholarships or grants aside from FAFSA??

    Contractor2RN010 replied to idlasjm's topic in General Students

    I'd strongly suggest picking up work-study. There are many scholarships at my school that you must be nominated for by faculty and I've found that work-study gives faculty the opportunity to get to...

  13. HELP PLEASE!!! Low NLN entrance test scores --how can I improve them

    Contractor2RN010 replied to BioGirl 11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I know you really want help, but we need some more information. What are your percentile scores for english, math and science under the "ALL" category. Those figures will determine your strengths...

  14. GBCC 2011 Hopefuls

    Contractor2RN010 replied to omoore23's topic in General Nursing

    Last year we were notified in early March. Previous classes didn't receive their letters until late April. So, I'm not quite sure how to answer your question... Good

  15. What are the steps to getting into GBCC?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to JulielovesCody's topic in General Nursing

    As far as English and Math on the NLN you might already be pretty strong and not yet know it. You won't be able to rely on a calculator, every thing must be done longhand on paper. But... it's mutiple...

  16. What are the steps to getting into GBCC?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to JulielovesCody's topic in General Nursing

    Keep on with the health science classes, they certainly won't hurt you. I'd suggest taking all the science and math you can handle. You'll have to take the PAX-NLN test. GBCC offers workshops...

  17. How much did you pay for books your first year?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to sch1109's topic in General Students

    Spent $900.00 and the bundled package was actually cheaper than had I purchased it at half.com. I believe everything was published after 2008, so there isn't a great deal of used items yet. My...

  18. What does it take to be accepted to GBCC?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely suggest retaking the NLN before next year's application deadlline. The school accepts your highest score. CAPS offered a few NLN workshops in the fall, and I have heard good...

  19. Previous edition books?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    I've also purchased international editions and found that they even included the online access codes. On the other hand I've purchased the books on the school booklist from other vendors and found...

  20. Any prejudices while in the program towards the males?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to art1stic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I haven't yet been in a nursing class, but have been accepted on my one and only app to a very competitive school up here in NH. Well, I was sitting in the library the other day with some female...

  21. What does it take to be accepted to GBCC?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    Those who have completed both A+P 1+2 are given 20 bonus points in the selection process. I'm not entirely sure how they rate us, but if they have applicants with A+P completed and strong NLN scores...

  22. What does it take to be accepted to GBCC?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    The summer schedule is posted, and the school is offering a six week A+P 1 course followed by a six week A+P 2 course. I sure wouldn't want to do both A+P's in twelve weeks... Is it a possibility that...

  23. What does it take to be accepted to GBCC?

    Contractor2RN010 replied to Betty09's topic in General Nursing

    Betty, you're probably absolutely right in that you were denied because of A+P 2. I was accepted, and have completed A+P 1+2, and most of my pre-reqs. Had a 162 composite on the nln with 99's in all...

  24. The waiting game! For everyone starting Summer/Fall 2010

    Contractor2RN010 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I've turned in my tuition deposit at GBCC in New Hampshire for the fall semester. There must have been alot of applicants because I know very few who were accepted. Some of the most qualified...

  25. No She/he Did Not!!!

    Contractor2RN010 replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    We were studying hormones and their effects on the reproductive systen in A+P 2. Naturally, the subject of birth control comes up. The instructor, who had grown up in the south, proceeds to tell us...
