   travelgurl18 replied to travelgurl18's topic in General Students

   So for my program it requires that you complete all the normal nursing pre-reqs have a bachelor's in any field, and they prefer some nursing related work experience. The master's is to study to become a Clinical Nurse Leader - see the AACN for descri...

2. Networking in Nursing School

   travelgurl18 replied to RN_Mo's topic in General Students

   RN_Mo - I am so jealous that you got to go to that conference!!!! I was really thinking about it, but financially it wasn't the best choice for me. But I would love it if you shared the slides! Do they have videos/links from some of the conferences...

   travelgurl18 replied to travelgurl18's topic in General Students

   They present youtube videos AS the new material, no every professor is like this, but enough to make me cringe. But I have just decided, as IThinkICan100 mentioned that my success is up to me and how much I put into studying.

   travelgurl18 replied to RN_Mo's topic in General Students

   You're doing the right thing by applying to tech type jobs or CNA jobs. When you apply make sure to put an employee's name down as a reference - it can even be a janitor or food service worker that you know - it still will help. That is what got my...

9. New Student at WCU

   travelgurl18 replied to nat.tang.student's topic in School Programs

   Personally, I would wait for a less expensive school. With the state of the economy, the fact that new nurse graduates are not finding jobs right away, and the fact that your young I don't think it's a wise choice. I chose to wait for a less expensiv...

14. CSUDH MEPN - Fall 2013 Applicants

    travelgurl18 replied to orange25's topic in California

    I'm already CNA certified. I did mine through the Red Cross but it is pricey $1000-$1500. But they had weekend classes at the Commerce, CA location, so I liked that feature. Full time it's usually a 6 week course 9-5. Or some community colleges and R...
