yes, i was in the doctor's office with my son. the office is divided into 3 sitting areas, one divided from the other by either a half wall or a play area. anyway, one of the other mom's opened up a snack bag of peanut butter crackers. in the section i was sittin in, a kid started turning red, and wheezing. the child was approximately 10-12. they rushed him in the back. needless to say the lady's crackers had to go. the smell of the peanut butter was all it took.......side note, my son is allergic to flour ( no cakes, cookies, pasta, etc). when he goes to my moms house and she makes bread, he could be in another room and start sneezing. fresh flour really gets him, however once its cooked, it has to be ingested or touched for him to get sick.

hi, im a nursing student at north carolina central at the present time and seriously considering a transfer. where did you study for your rn? what facitlity do you work at currently? if you would rather not share that information, could i at least get what city?

check out this website and use wake county for your location. this should give u a listing of the available lpn jobs. i know some of them are in the prison. it should also give you a pay range..... http://www.ncesc.com/individual/jis/jisMain.asp?init=true

hi im nikki. i live in sanford. im doing the daily commute to north carolina central univ, but am hoping to move to durham in january. im finishing up my prereqs and hoping i make it into the second leg of the program at central. its very very competitive.

i too, would luv to c alot more male nurses, especially of color. i try to sell the job to my nephews, they're not hearing it. so, im left with my hopes. its hard to find african american men in the medical field period, especially as nurses.

maybe i should move to bmore or tampa.....lol.

you'll do great. dont even worry about it.

+ where are you in school?

i 4got this in my last post. this is a website about school loans; it has some good info. http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/CollegeandFamily/Cutcollegecosts/P36836.asp

i get scared everytime i think of the debt im accruing (sp). im just gonna pray that it works out ok. my brother and his wife have 100,000 between them in college debt. im way way way below that figure but my brother's first job offer was for approx. 80,000 and shes doing pretty well herself. so its not like they cant afford it...my broke butt is looking at approximately $25000 in school loans, and prob wont make a cent over 35,000 when i finish. this post just depressed me. someone, quick, tell me im doing the right thing going for my bsn.

my aunt has her msw. she says if u want to eat, dont get a msw. she was the director of the county mental health for approx 5 years, and has worked there for approximately 20 years. yes, she made 6 figures, but the job ended this summer when the state came in and revamped the system. the state is phasing out mental facilities faster than u can count to 3. my godmother is in social work at unc, and she's doing 2-3 ppl's jobs because they have drastically reduced staff. masters in psychology.....i have a friend that has his masters, and a girlfriend and a sister that just finished up their phd. with a masters, you will definitely be working for someone, and your options will be limited. my girlfriend is teaching at two universities, while pursuing her phd. i guess it all depends on what you want to do with your degree rather this would b a good fix for u. as far as the psych nursing or np goes, they're trying to pass a law to permit the nurses ability to disperse medication to patients once u finish a few classes. if you have prior experience in this, you would probably be of value. thats my 2 cents. good luck on ur decision

i dont understand why central's testing numbers are so low. they permit approx 45 students in a year. why are only 11 ppl taking boards? im so frustrated with them i could scream......the community college i was going to attend has a 100 average. what would you do? get your adn in a city with lower cost of living, or take the exact amount of time, work like a dog and go to school to finish with my bsn and approximately $25,000 in debt?

i have a friend in class with me at central...he's a cna at the moment.

yeah, im trying to figure out rather i should come home to the local community college. im finishing up my prereqs this year at central. im worried because ive heard so many negative things about the program. i've heard extremely positive things, but the negatives are down right scarey. if i went to the community college i would have less debt, and less classes. i have almost all of my prereqs completed for the comm collegel, minus my a&p's which i would have to take over at the community college, because of credit issues. at the community college i have 24 hr day care arranged, im closer to my family. the bad part is im stuck in a lil town (not saying durham is metropolitan). im just trying to way my options. ive been weighing them for almost 6 months now, my crazy, non decision making butt needs to make up my mind. ..........................heeeeeeeelppppppppppppppppppp

are you or do you know anyone that graduated from nccu's bsn program? was it a positive experience? how equipped were you for your first job?
