   KrisFreya replied to nwbsoon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am taking A&P I and psychology right now. I am fine with this work load but to take II I have to have I done. My school doesn't allow you to double up on A&P. I couldn't image taking both on at the same time. There is so much information to...

3. CNA skills test

   KrisFreya replied to tero's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I passed the first time and I don't think anyone can pass or fail. When I tested the reason the one girl in our group failed is her vitals.... I think that is the most important part and as long as you are hitting the required steps on everything els...

   KrisFreya replied to TexasGal1964's topic in Professionalism

   The last Federal building I went into I couldn't even bring in my purse or cell phone. They checked me at the door I was only allowed my ID, a form of payment, and my paperwork. They would not let me in otherwise. I would hope them turning me away fo...

   I am 34 and just starting my pre-reqs.. I am almost done with my CNA class. I am very excited to be starting this journey and more than likely being super exhausted and wanting to cry. ADN comes first to pass the NCLEX than off to be my BSN. This wi...

8. Hard Time

   KrisFreya replied to proches's topic in Pre-Nursing

   And this is why I keep hearing OVER and OVER do not work full time while in nursing school! :) It has to consume your life. You are taking someone's life in your hands so you need to know this stuff inside out. And yes it only gets harder after the p...

    KrisFreya replied to agills's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Very good point SoniaReb! I would like to see a lot of these schools post how many of their students pass the exit exams that are required. I know where my husband is going to school for his airplane mechanic license, this rate is really low! Out of ...

13. itt tech scam?

    KrisFreya replied to agills's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The other thing to look at is their pass rate. The one here locally near me has a 75% pass rate on the NCLEX (these numbers can be found on your state nursing board website). This made me knock them off my list right away. That makes me think they ar...
