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 never heard any mention of them having to be covered ...

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 suggest calling the Scrub Hub to see if she knows...

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 know Stacey's offered embroidery with the purchase of...

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, Portsmouth, Exeter and Rochester. I commute fifty mile...

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, the faculty seems to have made great attempts to pl...

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 Hosp, and as far south as Lawrence. Of course they...

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 admin, but in my experience if there's anything they c...

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 your state could be well worth your looking into. It'...

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 breaks. Financially, returning to school hurts... a...

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 might have some bugs to work out, but don't forget you...

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 most ppl taking the test arent likely to score bett...

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 know you. When they can associate a name with the fa...

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 and weaknesses and what you should study. Don't fo...

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 luck!

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 choice. Quick time-saving hint here: If you have ...

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 occasionally with test taking tips for this exam, I'd sugg...

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 classmates tell me it also comes with a bunch of "virtual...

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 feedback about them. It's not that your score isn't good,...

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 weren't quite the same as those my classmates purchas...

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 classmates, and in walked a girl who had been denied on...

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 They're very likely to be selected first. Students ...

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 some seats were reserved for H.S. students? My ac...

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 subjects. I've been at Great Bay since last May. I ...

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 applicants (in my opinion) were waitlisted or denied. Need...

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 how the only foolproof method he's aware of is when...
