2. Start MA school? yay or nay?

   DarkLotus replied to cookiemonster84's topic in CNA/MA

   So due to financial reasons I don't think I will be attending the nursing school I got into this fall. I am considering trying to get into a MA program through ROP. I still plan on applying to RN programs for next fall. Would it be worthwhile to just...

3. Waitlist Status

   DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well I just found out that the program has decreased the number of accepted students down to 20 (or possibly 24 if they can hire another clinical instructor in time). I was optimistic being third on the waitlist but now I'm 13th! Oh and there were on...

4. Should I become an EMT?

   DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm going to try to 'sneak in' to signing up for this class that is offered online in addition to taking an in person EMT course (or maybe instead of if I land a new and perfect job;) PreParamedic Transition: An intense course with anatomy, physiolo...

5. Should I become an EMT?

   DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in CNA/MA

   I *think* it depends on the program and LVN/LPN's do not learn to start IV's but RNs do. I might be wrong though!

6. Should I become an EMT?

   DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in CNA/MA

   The only phlebotomy classes I have been able to find are part of LVN programs or offered through hospitals only for employees... I would love to take a EKG course, my favorite subject in pathophysiology was the few EKG interpretations we learned! I'm...

   DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah I applied to every type of financial aid possible. I was awarded two scholarships when I was first admitted to the university. However these scholarships are for non impacted majors only so as soon as I was officially accepted into the BSN progr...

8. Should I become an EMT?

   DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in CNA/MA

   Well I am all ready a CNA and have been for almost two years. I need a change of pace if I don't get into nursing school this fall. I think I found an EMT course that is just one semester long three days a week (so I could work as a CNA while doing s...

   I'm trying to think of things that would benefit my career in the long term if I do not get to start nursing school this fall. I am currently a CNA and have all pre reqs done for various nursing programs. I am wondering if becoming an EMT (one ter...

10. I'm never goin to reach my destination

    DarkLotus replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well I'm almost 30 and have been trying to go to nursing school since I was 25, lol. I spent two years doing the classes for a pre nursing associates degree to realize that most of the programs I was applying to changed their standards so I spent ano...

11. My school has a pre-nursing program but No clincals

    DarkLotus replied to Malpal23's topic in LPN-RN

    It sounds like the school has a pre nursing associates degree which will not allow you to sit for the NCLEX. Typically these pre-nursing degrees are just the pre requisites for an ADN program plus a couple of general education classes. This isn't rea...

12. Waitlist Status

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks! I was accepted into a BSN program but can not attend because of financial reasons (no BOGFW at universities) so I am hoping I get into this LPN program through waitlist karma, lol.

13. Waitlist Status

    DarkLotus posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    The school I applied to was able to tell me that they got a total of 35 applications an I was the 33ed. They accept the first 30 qualified applicants. So if three people who applied were not qualified or choose to go to different schools, then I a...

14. Help with OB!!!

    DarkLotus replied to sky_blue's topic in Student Assist

    My answer comes from the perspective of a mom not as a nurse. The LMP IS two weeks prior to conception. Did you take into consideration that most months are 4 weeks and two days so over the span of six months there would be about 'two weeks' worth of...
