What are the typical work hours for a research RN? Is it M-F usually? Holidays? Are shifts 8 hours? Thanks so much!

I am graduating in May, and have already lined up a full-time nursing job (3-12-hour shifts per week). Eventually, I will be wanting to get a PRN job at another facility to work 1 shift every 1-2 weeks. I want another facility so that I can have some...

Hi all! Just wondering who will be applying to the Wake Tech RN program in January, for the Fall 2017 start? I'm finishing up BIO168, BIO175, PSY241 and SOC210 this semester. If I can maintain all As, and get 12 points on my ATI TEAS, I'll have 161 p...

Wow, awesome! I was just looking at the price difference! Thanks for letting us know.

I was there too. I'm glad I was there to show interest, but I got nothing out of the review. But if that's all that will be on the real test, that's awesome! I feel much better about it now.

I miscalculated my points as well. Apparently I had 167 instead of 161. It sounds like they're thinking several more alternates will get spots. Best of luck to everyone! I'm on schedule A for the fall. Hope to see you all around!

Yes, I think the background check and the consent form were the only things we had to do before tomorrow. I'm probably going to bring a copy of my receipt for it, along with my acceptance letter, and a notebook to take notes. I'm sure they'll have a ...

Hi all! I just got accepted to an RN program that starts in August. I've finished all my pre-reqs and I'm wondering what I should focus on for the summer. Should I start studying medical abbreviations and dosage calculations, or should I just take so...

I work as a CNA and am currently finishing my pre-reqs. I just started working night shift (7P-7A) at the hospital, and I have class at 8:00AM on Mondays. Technically it's been doable, but it makes for a really long day to go straight to class after ...

When you log into blackboard, go into the Gateway to Sucess-Nursing Curriculum course. In the NUR 111 course info heading, there's a folder for NUR 111 course material. In that folder there's a file with medical abbreviations. I'm sure we don't need ...

Hey all. I haven't checked this thread in a while due to crazy work schedule and studying for finals. Congrats to all those going to orientation! And for those not accepted this time, it sounds like you'll have a good chance next time! I now have ac...

Anyone receive letters today? Was today a PO holiday?

I believe the new BSN graduates that were recently hired on at UNC Rex started at $26/hr. I'm not sure what their shift diffs are, though.

I just looked in WebAdvisor, at "My Profile" under the Academics and Registration menu, and my academic program is still showing "Pre-Nursing." Maybe it's different for the LPN-RN students, but I guess they don't change your program until they verify...

I didn't receive any email either. I would contact the advising dept ASAP and let them know about your address situation. Maybe they can put you in touch with someone from the nursing dept.

I don't think anyone was trying to be hurtful, just giving you some real things to think about. I know I will be saddled with massive student loan debt for years to come, mostly from previous degrees. But, I feel that nursing is worth it, and I am wo...

I used to work in Cary, near Apex, and our company mail used to take at least 2-3 days longer. It was so frustrating!

I hope you get something tomorrow!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! I live in Raleigh, right near a distribution post office, but I wouldn't be surprised if outlying areas take another couple of days.

Good to know. I just got accepted into an RN program, and am wanting to replace my Sprague-style scope. It was fine for being a CNA and taking manual BPs, but the sound is not clear and it picks up lots of background noise. It seems all of the new st...

I'm an NA, currently in nursing school, and I work on a med-surg floor. The nurses have 4-5 patients until 2300, then have 5-6 patients until 0700 (meanwhile the NAs end up having 11 patients from 2300 until 0700.) The acuity of our patients seems to...

Thank you! Best of luck and I hope to see you at orientation!!

Hi junebuggy. I had calculated my points as 161, but to be honest, I'm not sure. When I went to advising a couple weeks ago, they would neither confirm nor deny my point total. So, honestly, I'm not sure. I guess it's because it's now in the hands of...

Mail lady just came! I got my acceptance letter also!!!
