bananimal~ I was thinking the same about the private student loan as I was thinking of not having to work as much either. I remember reading it on here somewhere too of someone that did it but couldn't remember who. I am glad you asked. I am going to have to research it more too. let me know if you find out anything more too!

Mon and Tue day meeting times end at the end of sept. then it will be the normal schedule. i am so glad I took the first two weeks of work off to get acclamated. I put in for evening clinical too but really want the wed clinical.
I have to get my lab bag soon.
So what is the first semester like? What do you learn? I have been a CNA before so is it kinda like those skills starting out?
we did alot of the duties that CNA's do but we also passed meds, gave injections, and some other things that cna's do not always do.

Keep in mind the Wednesday clinical goes to just 8 people out of the 100 or so that were accepted. It is alot of extra work too, if you are not familiar with the nursing world. Slso, keep in mind that the schedule is not always black and white. There are weeks where you have simulation instead of clinical and may have different hours those weeks, most people get the mon and Tuesday clinicals and I personally had the days but from what I hear, some of the night instructors are adjuncts/part time. I recommend the days if you can.

Here's the site where you can get information on becoming CNA certified. Look under the canidiate guide, you might not have to wait after one year of nursing school if you meet other criteria.

Does the nursing schedule follow the school's schedule? For instance, the college is closed for Columbus Day ( on a monday ) and then tuesday classes will follow a monday schedule? Or do we still go to our clinical site on the monday, since it is not on campus?

They will tell you all that when you get your semester calendar on the first day of school. Our class...on holiday weeks like columbus day we did an on-campus simulation lab (SIM's) and you do not have clinical. If the college is closed for a holiday, you do not have clinical on the holiday but you will most likely have soemthing to do on the next day.

FYI the friday afternoon lab is a favorable one IMHO, since exams are on Thursdays at 10am, having lab before class on thursday can be tough...it was very laid back and we usually got out early...there is one seat left.

You can still switch to the Friday lab if you want...that day off is nice for studying and doing clinical paperwork.

Yeah it doesn't make much difference I guess since the lab is only 2 hours long, I still have from 10 AM to the time I sleep to study/relax. If I didn't have the class, I would probably be sleeping in past that time anyways haha
