  2. BCTC Fall 2013 Applicants

    NurseRose84 replied to NurseRose84's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen the costs for the immunizations that BCTC require, and am assuming that EKU's are similar. If I get in, I'm lucky enough that all of my immunizations were required for my job, so I don't...

  4. BCTC Fall 2013 Applicants

    NurseRose84 replied to NurseRose84's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on being accepted to EKU! I would say that even if you get into BCTC to go to EKU. They have better NCLEX pass rates. I'm definitely more worried about my GPA. I've got a great GPA for the...

  6. Which one is the best school?

    NurseRose84 replied to fsimis's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome!!! I only applied to BCTC since I have a couple of pre-reqs left to take for the other programs. Like I said in my earlier post, if I don't get in, I'll apply for the spring BSN...

    NurseRose84 replied to SJS06's topic in General Nursing

    NurseRose84 replied to marsqueen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    NurseRose84 replied to ZombieMomma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    NurseRose84 replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hang in there!!! While A&P II seems harder for me, I definitely know where you're coming from. I found that printing black and white pictures out and coloring them helped me the most. Good luck...

  16. What kind of extra credentials will help me find employment as a CNA?

    NurseRose84 replied to ZombieMomma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my area, most of the hospitals, if not all of them require BLS/CPR, so having those credentials not near expiring might help. Good luck in your fast class! I took a 2 week fast class in October...

  17. career change.. What should I do?

    NurseRose84 replied to starnurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm kind of in the same boat as you are except I didn't realize I wanted to pursue a career in nursing until I had been out of college for 6 years. I have a BS in Animal Science, and my GPA isn't very...

    NurseRose84 replied to Sarah96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NurseRose84 replied to Sarah96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NurseRose84 replied to sh1015's topic in Nursing Career

  24. I DID IT!!!!!!

    NurseRose84 replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
