1. ASN or BSN program

   IHeartPhysiology replied to mgra328's topic in General Nursing

   You may need to research whether a part-time program is even available. Area ASN and BSN programs are full-time only. Or, were you referring to doing pre-req's part-time? Good luck with whatever you decide!

2. I can't get a hospital job!

   IHeartPhysiology replied to gonzo1224's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't see your update. Congratulations!!

3. I can't get a hospital job!

   IHeartPhysiology replied to gonzo1224's topic in General Nursing

   At my local hospital they only hire CNA II's (Acute Care Certified). All nurse assistants must have certification and nursing students do not get preferential treatment. Keep trying! Most jobs are filled before there is a job listing. Take a resum...

4. How many classes do you have left?

   IHeartPhysiology replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It depends on whether your school is on quarters or semesters. My school uses quarters, hence: AP I, AP II, AP III. Schools using semesters have AP I, AP II. 2 semesters = 3 quarters.

5. C in A&P 3 and Microbiology?

   IHeartPhysiology replied to Kika143's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Agree with the above; it really depends on the school and how competitive enrollment to the program is. Get an honest opinion from an advisor or program coordinator. There is NO WAY C's would fly at my school. There are straight A students who don...

6. How many classes do you have left?

   IHeartPhysiology replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing

   From what started as a very long list, I only have two pre-requisites left to complete next term: A & P III ANTH 103 ( Cultural Anthropology) I'm applying in the Spring for next Fall.

7. Those with kids

   IHeartPhysiology replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing

   RT stands for respiratory therapist. It's still a challenging program, but I feel that, for me, it will be less stressfull (than nursing) all around. And, I'm really fascinated by the respiratory system! When I fist wanted to be a nurse, I wanted...

8. Those with kids

   IHeartPhysiology replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel it's pretty tough; it takes a lot of time management. I'm just finishing my prereq's (only 2 classes left!), and now I'n seriously reconsidering nursing as a viable career when I'm the primary parent to a four year old. I really don't get...

9. working as an aid while in school

   IHeartPhysiology replied to fellowshipofthecat's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow; the CNA course is only 2 weeks?? The CNA course at my college is 3 months (one term). I'm taking it in the spring because my pre-req's will be done. I'll just be waiting to see if i was admitted into the program. Do you have a lot of pre-re...

10. What do you LOVE about being a CNA?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to IHeartPhysiology's topic in CNA/MA

    Thank you for your encouraging replies; I really am excited to start working as a CNA. I like the sense that what I am doing really matters and it appreciated by the patients/residents I work with. Does anyone have any suggestions for reading materi...

11. Curving in A&P

    IHeartPhysiology replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing

    LOL! No curving at my school. That would sure be nice, though.

12. Microbiology and Chemistry

    IHeartPhysiology replied to JumpingIn's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Personally, I thinks those are two pretty hefty classes to take at once. At my school, though, you cant take chemistry with micro because chem is a prerequisite for both the A/P sequence and microbiology. So for me, it was a non-issue. Good luck.
