  1. Forsyth Tech acceptance letter wait

    CrystalinNC posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wow, they know how to kill you with anticipation. I took my TEAS in January and did well enough, that I should be accepted into the LPN program for this Fall. However, until I have that acceptance...

  2. OK, so my body hurts

    CrystalinNC posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am in my lower 40s. I've worked using my body most of my life. I became a CNA a couple of years ago, and haven't been able to do that full time due to back pain. I was hoping that by becoming an...

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes! Second guessing everything. Nervous that I will be too busy to "have a life". Nervous I won't be able to find a

  5. OK, so my body hurts

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Would Urgent Care be a tad less strenuous? I had considered it actually, but wasn't sure what the job would

  6. I hate being a CNA

    CrystalinNC replied to *K($$'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't read through all of the comments, so this may have already been suggested....but have you tried Assisted Living? You're working with people that are in better shape overall. Sure...you will...

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    On the back page, there is a list for "Are there any abnormalities?". Under that list is genitourinary. That is a pelvic exam. =( I have mine scheduled today, but had just had one a little over a...

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It goes by your grades in each class and the credits for those classes. The MAR packet explains it in detail, but basically an A =4 B=3 C=2...etc. You multiply that by the credit hours. So if you...

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Anyone else blown away by the medical paperwork? That's a lot of information they're requiring, and I'm not sure why. I can see the immunization records, even though I supplied those to be in the...

  10. CNA claiming to be a nurse

    Did everything go

  11. Telling the truth on a peer evaluation for a group project?

    CrystalinNC replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    This is for comic relief. I saw a meme the other day that said, "When I die, I want anyone I did a group project with to lower me into the ground. That way they can let me down one more time"

  13. Forsyth Tech ADN Fall 2015

    CrystalinNC replied to momof3atitagain's topic in General Students

    If letters aren't coming until April 15th, but registration is April 13th and 14th, how do we register? On the other thread, someone said they just stick you in a class? I hope not, I have a job and...

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    They register for you? How do you know when your classes are as far as days and times? They have several different options, do they just stick you in

  15. Forsyth Tech acceptance letter wait

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well, looking at the registration dates, I hope it comes before April 15th too. Registration is April 13th and

    Still no letter here. I wonder what's taking so

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What other board? I'd love to check it out!

  18. Forsyth Tech acceptance letter wait

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just checked, and I'm showing the Practical Nursing Degree program on mine as well!!!! I was looking on here, and last year, they had their letters by March 20th. Good luck

  19. Forsyth Tech acceptance letter wait

    CrystalinNC replied to CrystalinNC's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have 108 points. Last year, they accepted points ranging from 91-117, so I should be fine. But I'm one of those that worries that this year will be substantially more competitive.

  20. Is this normal? Help

    CrystalinNC replied to Kdiane's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've felt this way as a CNA. It's a daunting thing...to take care of people that are sick. It's possible that Long term care just isn't your thing. That doesn't mean that you're not LPN material....

  21. Might get kicked out today!

    CrystalinNC replied to RNDREAMER4's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What ended up

  22. feeling stupid

    CrystalinNC replied to Amcz's topic in LPN to RN

    There's no such thing as "second best" when you have a degree.

  23. feeling stupid

    CrystalinNC replied to Amcz's topic in LPN to RN

    It depends on how low you are on the list. I've heard that they actually go through the lists rather quickly, because people drop out, or don't sign up in time. Don't be upset just yet.

  24. Working while going to school

    CrystalinNC posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just accepted a job at the hospital (dream CNAII job), but I start school in August. I would like to keep a spot at the hospital while I'm going to school, but I'm not sure if I can juggle it all....

  25. Help? I regret this career choice?

    CrystalinNC replied to katie6126's topic in General Students

    Have you considered just working in a doctor's office? They hire ADNs often. You could also consider Hospice, but you'd better LOVE what you do. If it's the schedule that's bothering you, that can...
