Wow, we are in the exact same situation! I also work part time at a local hospital while having another part time CNA job at a different place. I already have a bachelor's degree too and am going to...
Wow, that is such a long time. It's going to help you make an easier transition to nursing school and being a nurse. I definitely agree it is time to advance ourselves while pursing a higher living...
That's totally alright to vent, even recommended. It is something that many of us have to face. I don't qualify for anything from applying to FAFSA because I already have a bachelor's degree, so all...
I understand your wish to not feel left behind and not wanting to waste almost half a year, but the best thing for you to do right now is to focus on getting a full recovery. I don't know about the...
Hi Tiffany! I just read your profile and am amazed by your experience! You've already had so much experience working in the hospital as a Surgical Technologist! Are you also working as a CNA too? I...
How are you, everyone? I've encountered a problem that troubles me a lot, and I would love to have any advice or suggestion to help me make a decision. I recently interviewed at two units at a local...
Wow, that is definitely a very encouraging piece of information! Thanks a lot for informing us about it on allnurses! How is your application going? Have you already submitted
I have to disagree. It is extremely difficult for any new grad to get a hospital job in most places. One of the most reasons that hospitals hire you or even provide you an interview opportunity is...
Although you have to find out the respective tuition costs of the ASN and BSN programs in your area, the tuition costs for ASN programs in my area are only around 3k to 4k, and the tuition costs for...
Yeah, I think 50 sounds right too. Not everybody who is accepted is going to go, so shooting towards the top 60 or so should be alright. The problem is that we have no idea how many people we are...
Well, I guess the pressure is just getting on us extra hard since we are both applying to this one school. I am sure living in Durham will help you quite a bit! I don't remember exactly, but I think...
Hi, I just turned in my application on Friday too! I was waiting for my grades to come out. It is so scary that there is no way of knowing how many people are applying or where the cut-off is going to...
I attended the information session on the 12th, did anybody also attend? I thought the presentation and Q&A were pretty decent and informative, but the whole process still seems so overwhelming...
Congratulations! I am so happy to hear that all your hard work have paid off, although I am so sad that we couldn't be classmates. Nevertheless, I hope we will still talk in the future. So happy for...
Good afternoon! I took the tests and passed.....thank goodness. How are your applications going? Did DTCC update your placement scores? Have you taken the Versant speaking and ESL listening tests
Yeah, I am going to take the NCDAP and COMPASS Reading and Writing tomorrow. The placement test scores I had on file were my SAT scores. Although I've taken college-level English courses, Statistics,...
Thank you so much! I am going to take the tests tomorrow. Presumably they are going to take all day, so I am heading out to look for some lunch to buy for myself for tomorrow. You have a great...
You are welcome! Btw, I just went to see my advisor and found out that my placement test scores are out of date, so I have to retake them...-_- Keep me posted on how yours are
Yeah, you really made a good choice to keep a copy for yourself. Good foresight! I hope the process goes smooth for you, and just tell me if you need me for
Haha, you are so lucky to have such a nice adviser! I emailed my adviser requesting for an appointment, and it took him six days to reply back to me. It makes sense if he is not working, but he is...
Of course! But I feel that you are so far ahead of me with everything already planned out and prepared. I am still waiting to hear back from my advisor, so I can actually go see him for the first...
I hear people say very good things about other schools like GTCC and Carolinas College, but I couldn't apply to them simply because I really can't sacrifice the money to go to school that far away....
Hello! I think you are definitely going to do well on the Versant and the Compass ESL tests. It's so inconvenient that non-native English speakers have to take those tests on top of everything else....
I went on the DTCC website and saw the notice that says the new admission packet will be posted October 20th. How is everybody doing? It is approaching that time of the year where everything that...
