Hey everyone! What did y'all think if orientation? I was the girl with the gray GAP hoodie on the first long row. I thought they'd have us introduce ourselves but maybe they are saving that for first day!

Three more days until orientation!!! Are you guys ready?? I am so nervous and excited! I have started on my packet but still have a few things to do. How about y'all?

Comgrats mcapmike! It still has not really sunk in yet for me! There is so much to do!

I got my letter!! Can't wait to meet you guys at orientation!!

Congrats you guys!! I am STILL waiting on my mailperson! GAH, the suspense is KILLING me!!

Nothing came for me either. Boo My neighbor joked that going out this week probably meant Friday. I will hate waiting all weekend if that's true!! Lol! Teas was 81.3 overall, 90.5 in reading and 80 in math. I got all the points for my classes (20) p...

Anyone received a letter yet (good or bad)? Been stalking the mailman all week but nothing I'm getting really anxious!!

Eeeeek!!! Thanks for the update Laraye2013! I'm gonna be a ball of nerves all week! Just FYI I was told that if you get in you will receive a 8.5X11 envelope (tan or white) and a rejection letter comes in a regular envelope. Kinda ruins the excitemen...

Nothing came in the mail for me yet either! Where did you hear that letters are already going out? Good luck everyone!!

How much of a difference is there between the TEAS test and the SAT/ACT? I am pretty sure I will have to retake the SAT or take the ACT bc my score 13 years ago was a 910. Although I've always been a great student, I am a horrible test taker. I get s...

I understand what the TEAS test and SAT/ACT test are, I did take the SAT fter graduating high school. My question was for those who have already taken the TEAS, what the difference is between them. Are they similar or do they cover different subjects...

Unless you know someone the only thing you can do is gain experience in another facility and keep applying at hospitals until you get it. Network if you don't know anyone working in. The hospital. Most openings I've seen at hospitals want minimum 3ye...

Doable if you can manage your time well but I personally wouldn't take two sciences and a nursing course if I didnt have to. But it's all a matter your determination and dedication. Good luck!!

Congrats on your hard work and dedication. I was a single mom for five years and worked FT and went to school. It was tough! But with a great family/friend support system and your dedication you will do great! Take advantage of any resources to assis...

Thanks again everyone! I will check and see and update when I find out!

Back 2002 I got my certificate in Phlebotomy while taking Pre-Nursing courses. I did not end up taking the state exam for it because at that time I got pregnant with my first and decided to put school off and got a FT job (not in a medical field). Re...

Thanks everyone. Bobmo88, I didnt even think about things having changed since then. So, I might have to take a refresher course or something. Im in NC. Six hours sounds about the same as here, Im just not sure if its like the CNA certification where...

If you have the extra money I say yes def. My husband uses his for work and I hope to get one as soon as I am accepted into nursing school!

Also, hospitals typically have 12 hour shifts and the nursing homes/home healthcare have more of the 8-10 hr shifts. All have days, nights, and weekends, PRN or combo of those! Yes, CNA 1 can work at a hospital but like I said above you'll probably h...

I dont know anything about Pinehurst but CNAs in nursing homes make in the range of $12-15/hr from what I have been told. You may be on the higher end of that by working nights/weekends since a lot of people prefer days. If you work 40 hours a week y...

You can challenge it but some of the nursing schools in NC require that you take a state approved CNA Training class as well as passing the NUrse Aide 1 State Exam and get on the registry to be accepted for admission. Most of those are in the $500 ra...

We did a cat and THAT was tough! I cried and cried bc I have a cat and it skeeved me out. BUT I got over it, just held my breath bc the smell was awful. Give me a rat any day!!

I am debating on whether or not to take AP2 and Micro together this Fall. I want to apply for the Fall 2013 Nursing program at my local CC and two other local colleges. They all mostly look at the TEAS score then go down the list looking at the class...

Thanks everyone! Congrats to those who took both and did so well! Thats awesome and very encouraging! Sorry I didnt get to respond earlier. I took my CNA exam this weekend and passed! One less thing on my plate now :w00t: It does sound like Mommy wil...

I don't know first hand but I have heard that the evening program is VERY competitive and the higher your TEAS score the better. I know at CPCC your min scores have to be 75 and 85 with a overall of 80. So, if you have below those I would take the TE...
