   RoadBikeMama replied to PMHNP2023's topic in California Nursing

   I agree that people need to get the test booklet for whichever exam they're taking. I borrowed a V4 book, but taking the V5 exam, I decided to buy the V5 study guide. 96% made it all worth it!! I also...

3. Anyone planning on going CNA to RN route or just straight to RN?

   RoadBikeMama replied to sc0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Yep. I'm 30 with a hubby and a son, and I plan to go for my master's (midwifery), so I NEED to get my BSN. My father-in-law keeps harping on applying for ADN programs, too, and I'm like, I'M NOT...

   Vala, I love you! LOL I, too, hate those people, and I COMPLETELY agree that those are the people who crumble when it gets down and dirty. If these classes were easy for you, great, but don't get...

   RoadBikeMama replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Anatomy was INCREDIBLY time consuming! I probably spent 20-25 hours a week studying for that class alone. But I got an A! Physio was just as tough, just a different thought process. I spent almost...
