Watts School of Nursing June

[Jeepinjed]

Wanted to see who else is going to Watts (Mt Olive) starting in June. I just got my acceptance letter today! Wondering who my fellow classmates will be!

Hmm... Interesting!

[LadyL963]

I do agree, I can't imagine it would be soon. Not just because of the shortages but because of all the hoops they will have to jump and details to cover.

I asked Dr. S' wife in Psy about it. She said that they have been talking about this requirement for 20 years and that we should not have to worry about it.

Didn't remember that, thanks, Rum!

[Jeepinjed]

the only reason why i would like my BSN is because if you apply to a magnate hospital, you have a better shot at it... they require a certain # to obtain magnate status...

[Jeepinjed]

AND of course the whole BSN requirement that may or may not come to fruition...

and hopefully more sociology!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!! with a SOC degree you can... ummm.... errr... write a book! or teach! yeah!

Magnet hospital?? Around here??

[Jeepinjed]

Big Duke is a magnet hospital... i think Rex is as well... durham regional.... duke raleigh... don't think wake med is... but i believe they are in the process of trying to obtain...

[Jeepinjed]

just me being paranoid... hoping to stand out and get hired that's the scariest thing of all...

[Jeepinjed]

my words never seem to fully express my sentiments... i'm scared ******** of not finding a job after i graduate!!!! there... that seems better...

[keyna]

LOL!! That said it loud and clear...kind of, except for the astrisks!!!!

Getting in the door is important, but I'd also like to have more money, but so I've heard, once you're in the door

the BSN won't help the paycheck much, if at all. Guess it all depends where we end up! Got to get thru school first....this stuff is too far away to worry about now. First there's dosage calculations, labs, clinicals, midterms, finals, NCLEX...

apparently allnurses doesn't like sailor-ese... weird!!!
