I go to WWCC in Clarkston, across the river from Lewiston. I like WWCC as it is a 2 yr RN ADN program vs LCSC 4 yr program. I don't think it is a struggle to get into WWCC as long as you have your pre-reqs complete. One yr down and another yr to g...

Seems like there is quite the flow of NCLEX stress suddenly here! I don't know if I could help anyone, but I will tell you my plan, which worked for me. I studied Mon, Tues, and Wed before my test Thurs. I studied from the NCLEX CD, focused on rat...
Ouch! This subject really hits a sore spot! I am a CNA (3 yr), and will be a nursing student this fall. I believe that it should be a requirement to become a CNA before becoming a nursing student. It gives one a whole different outlook on levels ...
My CNA clinicals were done in a LTCF also. It was very tough to keep up with getting residents to meals, to the toilet, diaper changes etc. Each CNA was assigned 10-15 residents, which I thought was ridiculous. As we were there for clinicals, we j...
