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 taking care adults. In addition, because our census ha...

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 possible. I like the fact that is has flexible star...

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 grad nurse (3 months in) and I just finished up orien...

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 for me to get out of my lease. If it proves to be an...

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 are 3 magnet level hospitals within 10 minutes of t...

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 apply for the spring program, so I don't think it w...

First things first, welcome to GTCC. I'm almost done with my first semester, so I will be a cohort ahead of you. I'm going to try to answer my questions to the best of my abilities. From my understanding, new grad programs really do prefer BSNs and y...

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 review, and I think I have around 55 points. I haven'...

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 the program? I'm going to take January off to see h...

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 and have left multiple messages and emails, but she...

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 costs more, I think the financial aid you were re...

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 few weeks. Also, I updated the facebook page I creat...

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 home tonight after my shift.

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 turned in the confirmation card. In terms of who also a...

Letter came in today. I'm in guys. Good luck to the rest of you.

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 the Humanities/FA requirement. If you took the cla...

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 though.

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 points. I have counted three thus far on this thread...

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 that area. If not, chapel hill and durham are only ...

To anyone living in the Greensboro, does anyone know of any apartments in the area that do not have breed restrictions? I have been do apartment hunting in the area and have found plenty of pet friendly apartments. However, because my dog is half ger...

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- in that course, but I am good to go for UNCW's pro...

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 can't give me points for the one's I have taken. In t...

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 be extending the deadline this year.

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 recommend it. Greenville is a college town and ECU is a h...

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 last week of September. Its going to be an interes...
