2. How long does it take to complete a pre-nursing program?

   wtrang replied to EstherAyo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You can do it in 1-1.5 years if you take classes in the summer and winter sessions in addition to fall and spring. I could have easily done it in 1 year at my community college.

   wtrang replied to horrorxgirl's topic in General Students

   wtrang replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

   Easiest nursing job are the ones who are in those private practices who make appointments and go in to take your vital signs and then leave. Seriously. Maybe sometimes they'd give you your vaccine after the doctor tells them to. How come no one's men...

    wtrang replied to tabbie's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Becoming a CNA is the best way to get experience as a pre-nursing student. I agree with Me-erThanMe, the CNA students that were in my class were much more confident and comfortable doing all the nursing skills we learned in the 1st semester.
