  1. peer interview=job offer?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RNJamie12's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    My hospital does peer interviews as part of the interview process. I met with a panel from the floor (a tech, a couple of the nurses, the nurse educator, the ANM, etc) -- every one asked me 1...

  2. first 101 exam: 93%!

    RunnerRN2015 posted a topic in General Students

    We got our first 101 exam grade back today and I earned a 93%! Only 10% of the class earned an A (92 or higher) so I am feeling especially proud of myself right now. There were several who failed the...

  3. How long did it take to get your CNA license after mailing the application?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to nursetabitha's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As far as I know, all testing sites in NC get immediate results -- you know before you leave that day whether or not you

  5. Has anyone had the first exam yet? EEEEK!

    RunnerRN2015 replied to KimmyKat45's topic in General Students

    I just took my first 101 exam (100 questions) and got a 93. SO happy about that! Personally, I thought it was easier than A&P and micro tests but the majority of classmates felt it was really...

  6. Where do I go from here to become an RN as soon as possible?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Principessa22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think all you have to do to be a CNA in another state is to take and pass their state test. When I took my test (I'm in NC), one of the others was from out-of-state (midwest somewhere). She got the...

  7. please Advice

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Ola76's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    When is your 3rd shot due? Can you have a titer drawn to see if you already have enough antibodies? In all of your paperwork, did it mention needing all of your immunizations before class

  8. Hilarious Gangnam Style OB/Gyne parody music video

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RN2B123's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hilarious!

  9. First Semester Nursing Program Jitters

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Susieq3's topic in General Students

    I started my RN program Monday. I can't believe how stressed my classmates are already! I'm going into it with this attitude/mantra: I have complete faith in myself that I CAN DO THIS. I will do...

  10. Starting CNA training while in school full time

    RunnerRN2015 replied to ph94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The class requires common sense and no outside studying. It is so basic! As for the job itself, it depends. Working as a CNA in a LTC facility is completely different from a hospital CNA. I worked at...

  11. What do PCTs or clinical assistants do when they aren't working?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work with some FT techs and this IS their career. They have no desire to further their education. I work with other FT techs who are in school part-time, both in person and online. On my floor, the...

  12. How many hrs a day did u study for A&P1

    RunnerRN2015 replied to MeekaNichole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some days I didn't study at all. Other days I studied 2-3 hours. The few days before a test I studied off and on all day. My grades? For A&P 1: 97%, A&P 2: 101%, Micro: 97%, and Chemistry:...

  13. Refilling water pitchers

    RunnerRN2015 replied to sizzlev's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We use disposable pitchers (with the patient's name, admission date, and room number written on it) and cups. Since I work on peds, usually it's a family member who goes to the nourishment room to get...

  14. Specialize

    RunnerRN2015 replied to FutureRN92's topic in Nursing Career

    When you graduate as an RN you're a generalist, not a specialist. You don't graduate with a 'specialty' in anything. You may have a preference for a certain area, but that's not the same as...

  15. Took my state test today...

  16. Top nursing schools in North Carolina

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Ndoht's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Not a BSN school but Carolinas College of Health Sciences (ASN) is far and away the most highly regarded nursing school in the Charlotte area. NCLEX first time pass rates are between 98-100% with...

  17. I finally got my hospital job!

    RunnerRN2015 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congratulations!

  18. Any older students??

    RunnerRN2015 replied to KristinaW's topic in General Students

    I turned 46 two days ago and I start my RN program next

  19. Does previous college experience have to go on a college application?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to sss83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard that if you received any financial aid, it will show up on your record (social security number, maybe?). If you didn't include the school that you received financial aid for, I'm sure it...

  20. How to make a career change into nursing?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to pattylee1122's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm another teacher who retired from teaching (20 years) and am starting nursing school next week! Financially we don't need my income right now so when I quit to attend school it didn't make much of...

  21. Did I break the isolation code??

    RunnerRN2015 replied to crunchytaco's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I understand your confusion and frustration! We often have patients on contact and/or droplet precautions so there are gloves, gowns, and face masks outside their rooms. As a CNA, when I go in to take...

  22. Driving to clinicals

    RunnerRN2015 replied to mysnurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    All of our clinicals are within 15-20 minutes of our school campus. Most clinicals are at the 2 hospitals across the parking lot. I guess we're extremely

  23. In limbo between Pre-nursing and Nursing..where to go from here?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to sixela21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    [ But, I must ask, what nursing program doesn't require chemistry? I'm doing an ADN then bridging to MSN, but I've never heard of any nursing program allowing you to get your RN without chemistry. My...

  24. Do not bother with CNA programs unless you have experience in the field.

    RunnerRN2015 replied to realitycheck2013's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took my CNA course last year at my nursing school and paid $500. I was hired at a LTC facility, worked there 3 months, and recently got hired at a children's hospital. Pay is very low, but I'm...

  25. what did you get for Christmas from your employer?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to AlphaPig's topic in General Nursing

    This year it was a duffle bag with the healthcare system's logo on it and a lunch bag with the children's hospital logo on it for those who work at that facility. Considering there are 60,000+...
