   tajo28 replied to sassiebaz's topic in General Students

   Hey there! First off, I can't figure out how to reply to your message you sent me! I feel so dumb. Secondly, it is ironic that today is when I first read your questions. I took my A&P final today and found out I failed the class just by a few po...

   tajo28 replied to Fallon's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Nope. Our school is 18 months long full-time M-F. (including one semester of pre-req's) I couldn't imagine anything being less than 11 months. We have multiple tests every week, I can't imagine how much work/tests must be done is less than a year!

5. CNA really turned me off

   tajo28 replied to dipsett08's topic in Career Support

   I would stay put if i were you. I've heard more often than not of people who were glad they started from the "bottom" and worked their way up. It gave them more experience and confidence during school and when they finally acheived their LPN/RN. I do...

10. Questions about CNA's.

    tajo28 replied to tajo28's topic in CNA/MA

    Thanks for the replies. Right now I am actually rethinking my major. I have always went back and forth with education and the health field. I am starting to think it is too hard in my area to become an RN. With only two schools in the area, and both ...
