    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Does anyone else check their portal a couple times a day like me? Even on the weekends?

  6. UNC ABSN 2015

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    My mom reminded me today that October 13th is a postal holiday (Columbus day). So if the letters are actually mailed on Monday, we'd probably start getting them on Wednesday or Thursday of this coming...

  7. UNC ABSN 2015

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm not sure how much being in or out of state matters, but I'd say that they're definitely looking to see if you're actively working or volunteering in the medical field! I know people from out of...

  8. WSSU ABSN 2015 Applicants - Open Thread!

    mf1211 replied to RobinMarie87's topic in School, College Programs

    I haven't heard anything yet! Like you said, we probably won't for a few weeks or so, but I can't help but be nervous! I wish WSSU had an online portal or something, waiting for mail is so difficult....

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Haha don't worry, I feel that way too Elsie0. We all have an equal chance! You never know what they're looking for specifically in this cohort. It's always good to have a back up plan but don't count...

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    A friend of mine went to the Hillman scholars meeting last night and let me know that the woman who was conducting the meeting said that the letters should go out by the 13th! She also mentioned that...

  11. UNC ABSN 2015

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hopefully sooner rather than later! I was looking at last years thread for this program and it seemed that they got their answers the third week of October. However, two years ago the applicants heard...

  12. Long shift then class?

    mf1211 replied to OnlyDreaming's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work days at a hospital, so I personally don't do this but I know people who work nights that do. They're able to work full time (3 12 hour shifts per week) and do this, but they are ALWAYS tired...

  13. cna to lpn to rn? or cna to rn?

    mf1211 replied to yayita's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Regardless of which path you choose, I think becoming a CNA is a great idea before you decide to pursue nursing any further. As a rule of thumb, if you enjoy being a CNA you will most likely enjoy...

  14. Nursing vs. CNA physical stress

    mf1211 replied to johndough's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I currently work as a CNA on an inpatient physical rehabilitation unit. I typically have 7-8 patients per 12 hour shift, while the RN's have 5 at most. I totally understand why I have more, but I do...

  15. WSSU ABSN 2015 Applicants - Open Thread!

    mf1211 replied to RobinMarie87's topic in School, College Programs

    That's good to hear! I've read from past cohorts that some students feel that the school is incompetent when it comes to managing the ABSN students, but I'm glad you feel differently! Have you started...

    mf1211 replied to MrsBaze's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey sales2nursing! I was also looking at this thread. I applied for the ABSN program for this coming January cohort (2015 admission). Did you end up applying as

  17. WSSU ABSN 2015 Applicants - Open Thread!

    mf1211 replied to RobinMarie87's topic in School, College Programs

    From what I know, it is typically more difficult to get into accelerated nursing programs than traditional programs! This is mostly because accelerated BSN programs have strict limits on the number of...

    mf1211 replied to RobinMarie87's topic in School, College Programs

    mf1211 replied to JordanLeigh's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, JordanLeigh, Did you end up applying for the ABSN program for this year? From what I've read, working a part time job would be really difficult. I also applied if you did, there is another thread...

  21. UNC ABSN 2015

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Wow, based off of this I would say this year's applicant pool is extremely competitive! Y'all are making me nervous, haha. It's great to hear everyone's background, we don't have much longer

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hi, Sofiacna! Wow, you are definitely decorated! I'm impressed :-) It's always nice to see a fellow NC State grad applying as well! Like you, I graduated from NCSU this past May. I earned my degree in...

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey, hollybell! You're definitely right about the programs being tough regardless. If you don't mind my asking, which school are you more partial to? Just curious since I didn't apply to duke and...

  24. UNC ABSN 2015

    mf1211 replied to mf1211's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I have a fair amount of volunteer experience as well as CNA experience, so I am crossing my fingers that it's enough. My undergrad GPA was decent enough and my science GPA is pretty high, but I'm...

  25. WSSU ABSN 2015 Applicants - Open Thread!

    mf1211 replied to RobinMarie87's topic in School, College Programs

    Also, as far as minimums and students that were accepted last year, take a peak at threads like this from past years! That's what I've done to get a feel for how they accept and deny
