My sleep issues got worse and not better. Melatonin and Benadryl stopped working. I tried ambien and still could not get more than 4 hrs of sleep at a time. Next my dr suggested trazodone. Nope, that didn't work either. I changed jobs. Now working a ...

Yeah, I have the same problem. Always wake up in the middle of the night on my 1st night off even though I'm exhausted. Sometimes I take one 5mg melatonin & two 25mg benadryls. That does help. If I wake up, I stay in bed & read with a booklig...

Obama!

Ok, I'm having difficulty sleeping on my nights off. Anyone else having this problem? I am rarely sleepy on my 12 hr night shifts. I am home and in bed by 0800 and sleep until 1600. I use blackout curtains, loud box fan and also keep my eyes closed i...

I have a pair of Cherokee Core Stretch scrubs and I love them! Super soft & just the right amount of stretch. They are a bit snug right out of the dryer but they stretch a lot by the end of a shift. I probably should've gone a size down in the pa...

If you receive funding from Baptist, then your books are paid for. You just show up at the bookstore and they hand you a stack of books. Books are distributed in packs throughout the year.

Congratulations!! We finish on February 15, 2012! So excited for that. If you're using the same textbooks, here are what we used: Intro to Nursing I & II: Fundamentals of Nursing by Potter & Perry, 7th edition Clinical Skills & Techniques...

I'm applying to the ABSN program at WSSU this August to start in January 2011. Anyone joining me?

Haven't heard of that. I'd check with Wakemed's human resources department.

We have clinicals for the following courses: Intro to Professional Nursing III Adult Nursing I Mental Health Nursing Child Health Nursing Maternal/Newborn Nursing Community Health Nursing Adult II Nursing

Yes, usually two 12 hr days/week.

We have students commuting from Mocksville, Charlotte, High Point, Burlington, Greensboro, etc. The first block of classes (10 wks long) had classes on Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri. We usually have Mondays off, unless we have a rare clinical day scheduled t...

Hey there. WSSU didn't tell us our class average GPA so I really don't know. I was never sure if they were looking our overall GPA or our prerequisite GPA. Or maybe they look at both. You can check with Ms. Garrison in the nursing office for more inf...

You definitely need the textbook (potter & perry), the skills lab book, and the APA book. Not sure ErinJane1 - you'll just have to wait & see. Sorry, that's not what you wanted to hear.

Hi, I did receive funding thru Baptist. They are paying my tuition, fees, books & a $500 monthly stipend. I did pay for my uniform & have bought a few extra books. In return, I've signed a contract with the hospital that I will work for them ...

Yes, you can enroll in Intro to Professional Nursing I without being admitted into the nursing program. You do have to be admitted to the university though. Again, I don't know the GPAs of my fellow classmates so I just don't know if you have a good ...

I really don't know the GPAs of my classmates. Go ahead & apply! I HIGHLY advise you take Intro to Professional Nursing I this coming fall. If you're accepted into the accelerated program than this is 1 less class you'd have to take. It'll make y...

Alliegem, Our class is very diverse with students from many different backgrounds. As long as you have all your prerequisites then you should apply. I'm not sure what the avg GPA is of our students. You should make an appt w/ Ms. Garrison at the scho...

Me too! I rec'd the scholarship as well! I am so relieved!

What'd you think of the final? I'm so glad it's done!

Hey there, I can't answer your first question. I'd advise you to make an appt. with Ms. Garrison in the nursing dept at WSSU to talk about admittance to the program. I'm not in the program yet. Will start next month. I've heard that it's very rigorou...

Did you all receive the email today from WSSU? I'm getting nervous!

I like the way you think bmkelsey! :)

Oh, I forgot to add this: we don't register for these classes. The school will take care of it. I'm not sure about the background check. I'm assuming that the hospital has already performed one on us. Remember how we had to complete the online questi...

Oh my gosh, we have to wait a few more weeks?!? Orientation is only a month away! If we don't receive the funding then that doesn't give us much time to try to figure out how to pay for this program! And the committee hasn't even met yet?! Gah, the w...
