  1. North Carolina Roll Call

    Good Luck to you. I graduate in May and just received a job this Tuesday at Duke Medical Ctr- Sister hospitals :) They (Durham Regional) actually came to our school giving info about the GEMS program. Sounds like a good program if you are interest...
  2. North Carolina Roll Call

    Hi, congrats on your new love for nursing. If you are short a few classes in getting into the ADN program it is NOT a waste of time to pursue your LPN while you wait to get in your program of choice. I had a 2 year waiting list for my ADN program, ...
  3. Hesi/new Job

    I had to take the HESI exam today. We need a 900 to pass on the 1st try, if you dont then you have to take it a 2nd time in May and get an 850, if you dont pass then you get an incomplete for a grade and you retake for the 3rd time and get an 850. ...
  4. ECPI/MCI LPN Program - anyone?

    Get your ADN and tough it out with the commute. I am not familiar with ECPI's RN programs. I went to Raleigh's LPN program. It gave me everything I needed to pass the boards and be competent at work. I graduated June of 06 and started my RN progr...
  5. Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

    Well this time last year I was a new LPN student. Now im an old one-I have 15 days before I finish. 2 days ago I found out that I would be a NEW student again!! Just accepted to an ADN program at Durham Technical Community College in NC. I still h...
  6. North Carolina Roll Call

    Hey there NC. Im in Raleigh at ECPI College of Technology. I have 3 months down and 9 more months to go. That is a pregnancy -help me push this baby on out-ha ha I can not wait to finish up. I am either going directly to Vance-Granville to bridg...
  7. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    Hey, everything is going good. Thanks for asking. I am in my 2nd term now and it is going good. Its tough and there is a whole lot of information given in a shorter time frame. You really have to be in your books. Im taking Phamacology and Found...
  8. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    Cay, I didnt quite understand your post? Were you saying go ahead and get my ADN at any school? And I wasnt sure if you were agreeing with me when you said why wait. But yes, that is why i went ahead to ECPI-so rather than sit a year out waiting t...
  9. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    That is great to hear. I wanted to go to DTech so bad. I just cant continue to wait -wasting time. I have all of the classes under my belt accept micro. But still over a year and a half wait. When I finish LPN school in June of next year, I woul...
  10. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    yes, it is expensive-I am willing to pay for my education becuz I do not want to continue to wait-I do not trust the point system over at Wake either. I have heard some discouraging things from actual admissions counselors about their system. Durha...
  11. LPN versus CMA

    Yeah, the one in Raleigh started an Lpn program last year. Durham Tech has one too -with a waiting list of 2 +years. Their Rn program is right at about a 2 year wait. Well-hope you find out soon-Good luck
  12. LPN versus CMA

    ok, Im in the same situation you are. Ive got all classes except Micro. But my school actually has a waiting list, no point system. Which I guess makes a fair chance for everyone wanting to enter. It is literally first come first serve. Just no ...
  13. LPN versus CMA

    Hey, Im in NC too. Where are you getting your LPN at? Im getting mine at ECPI and then Im going to bridge over to Rn at Durham Technical Comm College. The waiting lists are so long, I had to go this route just to avoid the wait.
  14. Scholarships for men interested in nursing?

    My fault I wasnt paying attention that you were in Detroit. Try this, not sure how recent http://www.afh.org/WMNAC%20Scholarships%20&%20Loans.htm this one looked pretty good: http://www.lcc.edu/nursing/nursing/scholarship_information/
  15. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    Its not stupid at all, you have a plan and that plan will work for you. Just dont stay becuz you are scared to leave what you know. You'll do fine wherever you go, dont get complacent and scared to venture out. But also dont let money take you awa...
  16. LPN versus CMA

    It is a good thing that we have this website, becuz recruiters will tell people any type of stuff I cant believe that they told her that. :angryfire You also need to be more informed of the line of work you desire to go into. You have got to at least...
  17. Scholarships for men interested in nursing?

    Here is a little to get you started. You have to really research this stuff. It will not just be handed over to you. I dont know where you live, a lot of scholarships are specific to what state you reside and what type school you are going to. Th...
  18. Spouse of an Er nurse needs help

    Could not have been better put than that Allamericangirl! You have a husband as great as mine!! Good for you two. These kinds of relationships just work! It is also great that you are able to communicate and let him know when you are stressed
  19. Spouse of an Er nurse needs help

    Yeah, I agree Penny-Its just that he didnt give any info for us to really go on, so my thing was-if she went from not going out to drink at all-to drinking with her girlfriends all the time-somebody that is a responsible woman needs to kind of give h...
  20. Spouse of an Er nurse needs help

    Wow, that is too bad to hear. Sometimes we just conform to our environment. Im sure the women that your wife clicked with are smokers and that makes it so easy to get back into a bad habit. I hate to hear about a nurse that smokes. I know we are ...
  21. male CNA fired for "I love YOU"

    Nursemike gave you some great advice. If you think that you got fired for saying I love you then you are as stupid as THEY think you are. I cant even believe they tried to tell you that was the reason. We are "at will" employees without a union an...
  22. Help w/ taking BPs!

    In the beginnning its a little rough- Lucky for me I became a CNA prior to starting nursing school so all of us newbies learned there. I felt hard of hearing sometimes :) The best tip I can give you, is to use your shoulder to push the ear piece in ...
  23. Should I have chosen nursing?

    Hi I just wanted to stress that before you make any more decisions you really need to soul search and find your true calling. I get a sense that you are not really motivated to do anything right now -other than complete a program. Please dont take ...
  24. Commute or move

    Wow, thats a tough one. Clinicals can be rough and long days-it will wear on you to have to commute after a hard day of work. It can also interfere with study time. My longest commute was a 45 minute one. I only took pre-reqs there and found a cl...
  25. Best Hospitals in Chicoland Area to Work At

    Thanks, Ill be looking at that area too then. I lived in Hinsdale for about a year before we had bought our home in Naperville. We liked it there too. That isnt too far from Lagrange. I dont know too much about Lagrange-now I know to check it out...
