  1. I am considering quitting after four months..

    jbrent890 replied to alllliekat's topic in Nursing Career

    I am in the same boat. I just started working in a Peds ED (I only have pediatric experience). Since Covid started, my hospital has not seen that many pediatric patients, so I have primarily been...

  2. UNCW RN to BSN

    jbrent890 posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hello, I know there have been a few threads created about this program, but I have a few questions that I did not see asked in the previous threads. I'm looking to attend this program if at all...

    jbrent890 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello Everyone, First, let me preface by saying that I love the advice given on this site, which is why I hope I can find the answer(s) I'm looking for. I have found myself in a pickle. I'm a new...

  4. Professional Advice

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in General Nursing

    I really do appreciate the advice so far. Let me first say that serious decisions have not been made yet. And the decision to move will be contingent on multiple things. First, would be the ability...

  5. Professional Advice

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in General Nursing

    There are family members that come and go, but that leaves gaps in care. In terms of the hospital, it's not bad per se, but it is an inner city hospital that cares for a low income population. There...

  6. GTCC Spring 2017 Program

    jbrent890 replied to JessHashem's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hello, I'm already in the program, so hopefully I can answer your question. The desired amount of points the program is looking for will vary from semester to semester. Not that many people usually...

    Hello All, Just thought I would start this thread because applications are due in a little over a month. Just wanted to know who was applying to the program in the spring. I did a preliminary MAR...

    Thanks tfesmire for giving us a heads up. Just have a few questions if you don't mind answering. First, what tips could you give us for passing Pharm. Second, did you find it possible to work during...

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Has anyone gotten confirmation from the nursing school that they got your required paper work that was due on the 4th? I haven't heard anything yet and its kind of freaking me out. I called Lori Ann...

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    That $2000 would make sense if you are an out of state student. GTCC charges $72.00 per credit for instate. I'm looking at their tuition page now and 8 credits would be $576. Unless the nursing school...

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Confirmation card is in and I personally handed my medical information to Ms. Phillips, so I am good to go. God only knows how excited I am. I really do look forward to meeting everyone in the next...

    https://www.facebook.com/GTCC-ADN-Class-of-2017-524386724382815/timeline/ Here it is. Its nowhere near done, but I have to go to work (the life of a CNA :***:), so I will work on it more when I get...

  14. GTCC Spring 2016

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Luckily I was already CPR certified due to the CNA course I took over the summer at ACC. I'm making a photo copy of that and all the required health records and I should be good to go. I already...

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Well supposedly letters went out late last week. I live in Burlington, so I'm hoping that I receive my letter today. From the people that I have talked to, they lost their points due to them changing...

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Students in previous threads knew what number they were on the alternate list. How they figured that out, I do not know. Try to keep a positive mindset

  18. GTCC Spring 2016

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    That was fast. So we should all have our letters by next week then. It looks like we have a good crop this time around to. On previous threads, there is usually only one person who has more than 50...

  19. How's Greenville, NC?

    jbrent890 replied to grahamd01's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It really depends on what you are looking for. If the city is what you want, then the Raleigh area is very nice and still growing. From what I have been told, there are a ton of job opportunities in...

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yeah the two schools I'm looking at are UNCW's and UC Denver's (if I find a job in that city) online RN to BSN programs. If I do UC Denver, I would have to take Gen Chem over again because I got a C-...

  22. GTCC Spring 2016

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The assumption is (at least when I talked to the admissions director) that because I have a bachelors degree, that the nursing program will substitute one of my other humanities courses. They just...

  23. GTCC Spring 2016

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The counselor I talked to wouldn't give me the exact number of applicants (they would get in trouble if they did), but he did elude to the fact that there is a full roster, so I don't think they will...

  24. How's Greenville, NC?

    jbrent890 replied to grahamd01's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I lived in Greenville for three years when I was getting my MPH. For an individual in their early to mid 20s, Greenville is great. For someone who is older trying to raise children, I wouldn't...

    jbrent890 replied to jbrent890's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yeah you could tell that there is a lot of stress in that office due to Tiffany's absence. In terms of responding promptly, I was told that letters go out 3 weeks after the application closes, so the...
