   Cool! Thanks for keeping us all in the loop!

2. SWIC Acceptance

   yellowplaidknickers replied to badbiznatch's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Best of luck to you too! I think having the LPN is definitely a good helping point. I have downloaded the PDF for the point system let me peek It says you get 4 points, whereas someone like myself only earns 1pt for CNA. So, that is a good boost...

3. SWIC Acceptance

   Haha, it's okay and it's fun to see your enthusiasm! From what I remember it was in a standard almost junkmail type envelope, you know- a lot like the decoy they sent out that ended up being a survey. (yeah my heart stopped too when that came).

4. SWIC Acceptance

   yellowplaidknickers replied to badbiznatch's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did have a lot of points (I think 20ish?), but only because I had all of me pre req's done and had excellent scores in all of my classes. The pre entrance exam I didn't shine too well on, but the other points helped to balance that out. I didn't r...

7. Strangest experience as a CNA

   yellowplaidknickers replied to NM nurse to be's topic in CNA/MA

   I had a good laugh about the crotches! For a few of us in our facility, we've noticed that when we do "spray outs" you can tell which bm belongs to which patient by the look and smell. It's disgusting, but true! I was able to tell the difference w...

8. Question about CNA license number

   yellowplaidknickers replied to tavia_yeung's topic in CNA/MA

   I don't know how it is there, but here (IL) they don't give a number, it just goes by your social security number, whether or not you are listed in the registry.

9. And the debate begins...

   yellowplaidknickers replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I can completely relate! We are also a military family and I started college back in 2006. My son was just beginning preK so I started out slow to meet his and my daughters needs and schedule. I increased to part time as they grew older. Last yea...
