I called and asked the Bridge advisor and this is what she told me. All so A friend of mine was waitlisted a year ago and he gained admission the next term as well. So I'm taking it as truth and hoping they are not both politicians. :)

"6. When it's REALLY bad, get your whole paycheck from the bank in CASH, in 10 dollar bills, spread it out on the bed, look at it and remind yourself "I am getting paid for this, more than a lot of people make maybe, they WANT me here, look at this money they paid me!" I prefer to get it all in $1 dollar bills and make it rain! :)

I hate when that happens. lol

Second week of January sounds about right. Yes FNP. You?

I was waitlisted for 108. However I have a guaranteed spot in 111. So hope to see you all then!

From my understanding they try to let everyone know something 6-8 weeks before Bridge Bound. October 1st is 8 weeks out. October 15th is 6 weeks from Bridge Bound. Hope to hear in next 14 days. Counting down. Eric

What part of NC? I live in North Eastern NC. I would expect no less than $20 an hour to start. I have heard of nowhere that offers less than that round these parts...:) The only exception to that rule may be a MD's office. Some LTC Facilities in this area offer weekend option above $30 an hour no matter your experence. However someone on weekends must die for you to get that spot. I have only worked at one LTC Facility in this area and it is by far the worst. Offered me $19 an hour prn. I did that long enough for orientation to be over and for me to secure a hospital prn spot to supplement my weekend option pay. If its what you want to do.. Great. If not atleast its a job. If they try to lowball and won't come up on there offer, work long enough for the experence and to pay bills but keep looking. Continue to send out applications. Also, one thing I learned as a overbearing arrogant new nurse is don't burn any bridges. Finally, its also nice to keep your foot in the door some where else also. Just in case. :) Good Luck, Eric

I sent my application in for 108 as well. Hope to hear something by mid October.
