  1. PCA vs CNA

    In my state, the requirement to even get a PCA/PCT job is to either have your CNA license, have already worked as a PCA/PCT in the past however many months, or have completed the first semester of nursing clinicals (in which you learn all the require...
  2. Prospective Schools

    Thanks for the Maryville info! I talked to an advisor last spring (2011!) and he said since I didn't have 20 credits at Maryville it would be highly unlikely that I could get in. Very frustrating. So, i'm meeting with a different advisor soon and hop...
  3. Thanks MeatballExperience, your input helped a lot! I've been put off by the cost of Chamberlain because I have a family but I feel like i'll just be waisting more time getting the RN now and later having to go back to school to get my BSN. I'm also ...
  4. Prospective Schools

    I have not attended Maryville but I really want to get into their Weekend & Evening BSN program. Which semester did you apply for? I talked with an advisor in the past who told me since i'm a transfer student that I would need to take atleast 20 ...
  5. Does anyone else have input for Chamberlain? I'm at St. Charles Community College finishing prereqs- I have almost all of them done except Chemistry because I put that off for so long :) So I have just about all of the gen eds done for a BSN. I won't...
  6. Fake Nurses

    I didn't say that it is equal, I said maybe she was trying to explain to her child what she does and was telling him she helps take care of patients, like nurses do. I'm not okay with adults lying about what they do for a living, I don't see the poi...
  7. Fake Nurses

    Is it really that big of a deal that a 7 year old thought his Mom was a nurse when she's a nurse assistant? Seriously? Maybe his Mom explained that she was like a nurse? That she helps the nurses? Geeze, give the kid a break. Most kids just associate...
  8. Mo Bap

    Congrats on the job! I would love a PCA/PCT position but no one will even call me for an interview since I don't have my CNA. Are you a CNA? Or will they train you?
  9. Unit Secretary at Cardinal Glennon?

    I'm a prenursing student, hoping to start next fall (if i'm lucky) or atleast by fall 2013. Ive been job searching lately and cannot get an interview for a PCT position since I don't have my CNA. I planned on taking the CNA class next spring (when I ...
  10. Male nurse in L&D

    I'm not a nurse yet, just a student but I wanted to comment on this. I have a male OB and i've had female OBs in the past, totally prefer the male! If I would've had a male RN for any of my 3 children's delivery it wouldn't have bothered me. Some of ...
  11. Applying for UMSL's 2010 accelerated BSN program

    Okay, I have to correct my previous post. The point system is for the traditional and the part time program. The accelerated has a higher GPA requirement(3.2 minimum I think) and they won't consider you unless you have atleast that. You should talk w...
  12. Applying for UMSL's 2010 accelerated BSN program

    They give twice as many points for your science GPA than for your other GPA so if you have more science classes to take, finish them before applying. The advisor I talked to (Jill) said she recommends taking atleast 3 of the 4 science classes before ...
  13. Lutheran School of Nursing

    I'm going to apply for Fall 2012. Seems like a really good program. How difficult is it to get in to? I had a terrible first year of college (in 03) and have hardly any shot getting into a BSN program until after I get my RN, since they calculate cum...
  14. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    Thanks for your quick reply! I've been going back and forth between UMSL and Maryville and ideally I want to stick with UMSL since i've taken just about all of my prereqs there and I know that eventually I want my bachelors but after talking to the M...
  15. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    I just have a question for all of the SCCC Nursing students. What were the requirements to be put on the waitlist? I know at STLCC you have to have Chemistry, Biology done before you can apply and be waitlisted. Is this the same for St. Charles?
