   BillyMan replied to BillyMan's topic in CNA/MA

   Yeah that just makes all the sense to me. I know a lot of students just get their CNA as the pre-req for NS and then get into NS. Haha, I would much rather see nurses in action. That way whenever I am in class learning something and can go "oh yea...

4. Overall CNA Advice on classes, job apps, etc.

   BillyMan posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Hey guys. This summer I am thinking of taking my CNA class through a program not affiliated with my JC that I am going to do the RN program through. However, this class is only 4 weeks long total while the one at my JC is 10 weeks covering the same...

5. How many people who start NS finish?

   BillyMan replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

   Wow! Lots of responses. I really hope I'm simply not taking this whole thing too lightly because up until this point I seen it as a very 'doable' task. I say doable because I sure as heck wouldn't say easy but I didn't think it would be super hard...

6. How many people who start NS finish?

   BillyMan replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

   True. But that test is also a comprehensive exam that you take after the culmination of at least 2 years of study correct? Each prereq is the culmination of 10 weeks of study (for me it's quarters) in one subject. Like right now I am taking a Caps...

7. How many people who start NS finish?

   BillyMan replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

   Do you guys think it is mainly people who just decide nursing isn't for them, can't comprehend the material, can't deal with the stress, or personal reasons?

8. How many people who start NS finish?

   BillyMan replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

   Ouch. So about 30% fail? Even after ALL of those pre-reqs? That is a little scary.

10. Online Classes taken seriously by other colleges and possible employers?

    BillyMan posted a topic in Student Assist

    Hello all. Currently I am taking my pre-reqs at my local community college. I remember a while back in my English Comp II class my intructor and another student got into an argument over the credibility of online classes. Generally, I have never g...

11. Help with Chemistry?

    BillyMan replied to BillyMan's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for all the help guys & gals! Yeah, I know that I shouldn't have taken it during the summer. 3 weeks less time for a college level course like that is just crazy considering everything that is covered in that amount of time.

12. Help with Chemistry?

    BillyMan posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello everybody. I tried posting this once and it didn't take so I guess I am going to summarize everything I originally said. Right now I am working on my pre-reqs for the nursing program and my local community college and am going to do a 3+1 tra...
