1. Nursing east nc at vidant medical center

   mge9450 replied to LShow's topic in North Carolina

   My MIL works for one of the smaller Vidant hospitals and I believe her shift differential is $4 - I'm not 100% sure so don't hold me to that. To be honest with you, she is looking a new job, but I'll also tell you that a lot of that is more her than ...

2. Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

   mge9450 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

   I've always thought it was a distraction to the learning environment (former teacher), but it only really bothers me if they're being noisy, rustling wrappers, etc. I see nothing wrong with drinking in the classroom, as long as your container has a l...

4. What was the path that led you to choose nursing?

   mge9450 replied to applejackcrunch's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have always enjoyed science and how things 'work,' and knew that I wanted to work in the medical industry, but my moment came as I watched a close friend of mine die of cancer. She was 34 years old and had three young sons all under the age of 8. W...

5. South Carolina vs. North Carolina

   mge9450 replied to JazzminParson's topic in North Carolina

   I'm also partial to Raleigh - I live closer to Wilmington, but Raleigh will always be my first love. In Raleigh, you would be near WakeMed, Rex, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, and other hospitals. Plus it's just a great place to live in general - lots of thi...

6. South Carolina vs. North Carolina

   mge9450 replied to JazzminParson's topic in North Carolina

   I'm not super familiar with South Carolina's market for registered nurses, but I if I had to choose one, I would select North Carolina. It's home to some wonderful healthcare systems and I know few nurses here who have had difficulty finding a job. H...

7. Is this a common attendace policy?

   mge9450 replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

   This is terrible...my heart goes out to your co-worker and her family. I would be looking for a new place to work.

8. Clinical drama-question about personal property

   mge9450 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

   I have to agree with other posters that your immaturity about a seemingly harmless episode of horse playing will reflect badly on you - and you alone - should you report it to a clinical instructor. If you're so worried about people messing with your...

    I'm happy to share! I was lucky to receive several scholarships when I began my history degree, but I do have loans. My husband has a good job and thankfully we could live off I one income when I go back. If we couldn't, I would have to work in my fi...

12. ADN Or BSN?

    mge9450 replied to KnottyNurse17's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There is only one university within driving distance from my home that offers a BSN, and it is almost an hour away. I'm applying to that program and several ADN programs. The healthcare system in our area prefers BSN grads, but they will hire ADN gra...

    I still have to take A&P I and II. I just finished a bachelors degree in history, so this will be my second go round! Are you applying to other programs nearby?

14. Should I listen to the results or should I follow my heart?

    mge9450 replied to Hopelessly's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was a history major in college and always thought that I wanted to be a teacher. Much like you, I did very well in humanities courses and struggled through math and science - they have never been my strong suit. This worried me when I knew I was ca...
