Thanks, everyone for the encouargement. The drop date has come and gone and I'm still here. Hopefully, it was a wise descion. I have studied so much I don't know if I finally "get it" or if I just have the problems memorized.
See, I loved anatomy and physiology. Specifically physiology, I liked learning how and why things work and how the the different systems affect each other. I know I will make a good nurse and am prepared for some crying and hard times but it is disco...
I am currently in a Chemistry class, and it is the last thing I need to apply to a nursing program. I think my chances of getting in are pretty good but I am struggling with the Chem class. While math is not one of my strong points, I am willing to d...
Melement, does your school give points for health care experience? What will you do if you are done with your pre-reqs but don't get in the first time you apply?
I am leaning more and more towards LVN so I can get my life started but I will apply to the local RN programs to see if I get in. I really would rather not work as a cna. It's just not my thing. I work at an office but I'm a cosmetologist so I would...
I would join the Navy as soon as I was done with my BSN. At this rate that will be sometime around when I'm 31 or so. (I'm 25 now) My fiance is former navy and a navy contractor currently so we're used to being apart. I've allways wanted to join bu...
Ok so we've all heard the delima before, LVN or RN. Heres my story. I am 25 and my ultimate goal is to become a Nurse in the Navy so I know I need my BSN for that. Just looking for a little advice. I'm finishing up my pre-reqs for nursing as well...
I don't plan on looking for a job. The CNA's where I'm from make 8.88 in LTC and I make more than that at my desk job. THere is no way I'm willing to do all the hard work that a CNA does for that amount of money. I'm taking the class because it is ...

I didn't study at all and I got an overall score of 80. Keep in mind I am currently taking algerbra 2 at at community college so that helped. But still I actually almost timed out on the math and suggest taking the advice of other posters and doing w...

Dosen't matter what you wear, if your not used to all that standing and walking your feet are going to hurt. I went through two pairs of shoes before I realised it was the nature of the work not the shoes that had my feet and back sore! I setteled ...
Hey Guys My first day of CNA class is today and I'm excited as I am really ready for my winter break to be over. I was checking out the website of one of our clinical sites (LTC facility) and now I'm kinda freaking out and nervous because I realize ...

You guys are crazy taking that many credits at once. But I guess I'm taking around that number as well because I'm taking a CNA course on top of my 12 units of pre-reqs. I'm always excited at the begining of the semester but at the end I'm very rea...
I feel you trident. I also live in Cali and am in my 2nd semester of pre-reqs for nursing. It's really discuraging when they tell you a a "b" isen't good enough. There are people with straight "A"s who are on waiting lists. I'm really considering...
Thanks, for the advice. If I had it my way RN is the route I would choose no questions asked. I just don't know if I'll have the grades or the patience (Waiting lists) to get into any of the local RN programs. By the time I make my decision (or ha...
Hello everyone! my first post here. Feedback would be appreciated. I'm 25 years old, no kids, stable relationship. I work part-time (2days a week) and go to school full time. I have a great financial aid package. (I don't pay anything for school and ...
