I wish you luck in your employment search as well as your schooling. If you are going into health care and you have neglected your own health (being overweight), employers may look at that as well. I am not judging you at all, it is hard to not fall into weight gain, I know because I too was in the same situation. I began much healthier lifestyle because I felt I could not educate my clients if I myself were not being responsible with my own health as well. I imagine employers would feel the same. How good of care can you give, if you can't take care of yourself? Would you trust a computer repairman that couldn't fix his own computer to fix yours? Just a thought.

I'm in section J001, and I'm not looking forward to being on campus 3 days a week at 8am!!!!

I just wanted to start a thread for students entering BCTC's Fall 2010 ADN nursing program!!! all questions comments welcome... CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!!

must*

bg exotics...I do know that we are going to be required to either have an iphone or an ipod touch for one of the books. I asked one of the nursing advisers if we could use another pda such as a blackberry, etc, but it much be either an iphone or ipod touch

bgexotics...are you working at the VA as a CNA or LPN??? I too am doing the cooper program and I am hoping to get a job at the VA after my RN. Currently I've got my CNA and I know that Thompson Hood hires CNA's but does the VA hospital here in lexington hire them as well???

any particular brand??

Cooper...Have you been able to register for your nursing classes??? I have already had my hold lifted but have yet been able on peoplesoft to register for NR 115, I think I may need to go see a nursing advisor too.

I too have been wondering this as I was just accepted into the BCTC ADN program. I spoke with a lady in the Nursing quad the other day and she wasn't sure exactly which ones they were, but that they were royal blue. I wouldn't buy any quite yet because apparently they are a specific brand and color. I asked her which ones but she didn't know

Gateways LPN program is 18 months and their RN program is only 24 months (4 semesters with the summers off) you are much better off doing their RN program. I have talked to several people that have gotten their LPN's and for them it's been quite difficult finding work, not to mention RN's make more money, usually receive more time off, and receive hiring bonus'. If you aren't wanting to go to school for that long I would recommend just getting your CNA and then if you enjoy the work see if you can find a part time program.

I am starting the ADN program at BCTC in the fall and was just wondering if anyone knew what the scrub colors were.
