Confessions Of a Nursing Student (4)
Just another day…kinda boring day, in the life of me…a 20 12 months old nursing student in North Carolina…surviving day to day. Love all of the comments and responces…love to hear what you guys are doing and where you are on you way to becoming nurses. : ) Wanna get to know me better…facebook me.
A history of the Skyline Cloggers of Charlotte, NC in pictures. The crew performed from 1978 to 1984. It was founded by Allen Cooke and started as a 2-couple staff. By summer of 1978 it expanded to a 4-couple team. The choreography was highly non-traditional at first the usage of figures from experimental Western square dance. Later we developed a extra traditional regimen because some competitions required it. It is ironic that the team won more contests using the Liza Jane routine than the Foggy Mountain Breakdown routine though. The team was North Carolina state champion in 1979, winning the title at Denver, NC in March and later that year won first position in adult precision clogging at the NC State Fair as well as numerous different competitions. The team gave the impression before Bill Monroe went on stage at a native show in 1979 and received a standing ovation from a crowd of 1200. They appeared at many programs, worked with a booking agent and also entertained for the rehab hospital and local nursing homes. Several dancers on the team won individual awards, notably Tim Norris and Olin Edwards. Allen Cooke was twice winner of his age division at the international championships. He and Bryan Craddock, director of the Hemlock Bluff Cloggers, teamed up in the male duo category and won the national championship in 1980. The team won 6th place overall in the world championships in 1980. The Skyline Cloggers danced intricate, fast moving figures at a speed of 160-166 beats per minute. They introduced a …

July 14th, 2012 at 7:50 pm@TheChynadoll92 i was just in? hospital and the nurses there said there were loads of jobs and they enjoyed where they were working. They said the pay wasn’t that great for the workload but that was it.

July 14th, 2012 at 8:40 pm@LMRA177……I graduated in ’95 and have a full time job and a family and I just started last winter the core class to nursing school and I couldn’t be happier. It is very challenging for me b/c of losing time from the family but in the end is will be so worth it! Go and do it!!! Take the placement test and if you have forgotten the basic’s the school will put you in a refresher course if you don’t meet the requirments! ?

U open the fridge door¬ice that the already opened milk has been dated&timed&has ur initials on it. 2 U keep the sterile field even when u cook. 3 U? have used restraints&it was not a sexual experience. 4 U shake a persons hand&find yourself feeling for a vein to decide which size IV catheter ud use. 5 U discuss the consistency of your patients poop on ur lunch break & thats not weird

July 15th, 2012 at 12:01 amWelcome to nursing!!! I’m a nursing student from Pennsylvania. It’s a great field to get in, but the schooling up here is so unorganized it’s unreal. I graduate in 3 weeks, so I’m excited and already have a job lined up.? Have fun and I wish you the best of luck

July 15th, 2012 at 1:32 amHey hannah! I love watching your Videos, im only 15 but i want to be an adult nurse some day too. My mother says the best way to? see if someone will suceed in a certain career is to see how they talk about it. And when i watch your videos, you can tell you really want to help people (even though you can also tell your stressed at times and tired too!) good luck x

July 15th, 2012 at 4:49 amIn my experience I have only been able to find websites wiht groups of less than 50 or so practice questions with answers…they are hard to find on the internet. If I were you I’d buy an NCLEX book (I know,spending even more money on nursing!) and go through and highlight the answers…and turn in the book…or you could rent a book from the library, make? copies of pages and highlight the answers…I hope this helps!
July 15th, 2012 at 4:53 amhey we have to practice 1500 NCLEX questions by April and show proof that we did? them. I was wondering if u knew a good website so that I could print off my score with the amt of questions I completed.
July 15th, 2012 at 5:41 amThis is making me intimidated!! But? if I do what I’m supposed to do…i know i’ll enjoy it!
July 15th, 2012 at 6:25 amJimmy, One other thought, Bryan and I did that routine only a few times and let it go. He decided later to keep it alive and made a? line dance and duet out of it. I had moved away by then.
July 15th, 2012 at 6:44 amJimmy, Thanks, and that would have been cool to see. I’d like to find any footage that may have been made from the audience of any of our routines. I’ve got a handful of good students now and want to get them to form a team and me coach it. I’m looking for more good dancers in the Charlotte area. As for me, I want to find people interested in smooth dance and form a? group to do that, which I will participate in.
July 15th, 2012 at 7:03 amThese were great to see, Allen. I like those high, sharp kicks. I told Bryan it’s really a shame there isn’t video footage? of y’all doing the Foggy Mountain duo competition.
July 15th, 2012 at 7:59 am@MsJenniferTerry, Jennifer, The same Bryan Craddock was in the album, but his team was and still is called the Hemlock Bluff Cloggers. We adopted him into the Skyline Cloggers of Charlotte, but he only danced a duo routine with me when they had the male duos at Fontana in 1980. We won first place at Knoxville and Ocean City, which was then the “National” championship. Bryan has posted some Hemlock Bluff material, I have? also posted several clips of my teams.
July 15th, 2012 at 8:15 amIs this Bryan Craddock, of Cary NC fame, of my former & favorite clogging teacher fame? Did/do you teach at the Wade Ave community center? The Bryan Craddock I clogged for for only a few months, but including that NC State Fair for which we purchased the burgundy golf shirts? I can’t remember what you called your teams. Anyway, I genuinely believe you are THE? best clogger alive and wish you’d post vids of you solo. Hope you’re doing well!
July 15th, 2012 at 8:51 amKindest Regards,
Jennifer Terry
@elvis3700, There is a team called Skyline Country Cloggers presently in Virginia, but the Skyline Cloggers? of Charlotte dissolved in 1984. We did have a reunion last year though. I wish some of the other clogging teams from the late 1970s would post videos, because there were some really great teams at that time. It was really a golden age for clogging, before the tap dancers took over.
July 15th, 2012 at 9:06 amFrom what I have seen on one website, the club is still in existance.?
July 15th, 2012 at 9:33 am@elvis3700, The team was in Charlotte, NC. These pictures are 30 years old! We wanted to show folks of this generation? a glimpse of clogging in the “pre-modern” era. One of the original members does have an active team in Mooresville, NC that she dances with and directs.
July 15th, 2012 at 10:05 amWOW!!! Where is your? group based out of? I would love to be able to see you perform live.
