   LClark0823 replied to CCC_nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know about future job prospects but I currently volunteer in the NICU and I love it. Because I'm working on getting into the nursing field, the nurses and nurse practitioners let me view procedures and answer any and all of my questions. It...

2. Help??? Any Advice??

   LClark0823 replied to klhouse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   At my school, you can apply while you are in your final semester of pre-reqs. This will make you a "category 2" applicant. The "category 1" applicants are the ones that are finished with their pre-reqs at the time the application window closes. Th...

3. Bio (Anatomy) and Chem Together

   LClark0823 replied to GoodnessFlows's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Are you a science minded person? I took both A&P 1 and Chem II last semester along with English and a humanities elective and I did just fine. IMO, anatomy is easier than physiology because it's mostly memorization. And as far as chemistry goe...

7. scared to take CNA class

   LClark0823 replied to Lele0308's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm taking a CNA class too and it really isn't hard. As long as you pay attention to what your instructor tells you while in class and review the material at home, you'll do fine. Most of it is common sense. Some of the test questions can be trick...

8. Freaking out for my med-surg final. Do I have a chance? =/

   LClark0823 replied to belezax3's topic in General Students

   Teach the material to anyone who will listen. For me, I can't just read a book or study notes. When I try to "teach" the material to someone else, it sticks much better. You have to understand the subject somewhat to be able to teach it and for me...
