   Congratulations and best of luck to you!

2. Test Taking skills

   SirenoftheSea replied to Stewy291's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What exactly are you having trouble with? Is it just test anxiety?

3. If you are a male can you ask to only work for male patients?

   SirenoftheSea replied to dbtw's topic in CNA/MA

   Are you sure becoming a CNA is right for you?

4. Not a people person... (Yikes!)

   SirenoftheSea replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   I agree with this. I wouldn't consider myself a "people person." I'm friendly and I care about people, but I prefer to keep to myself most of the time. I don't think this will make me a bad nurse.

5. Compass test

   SirenoftheSea replied to medical123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you get the chance, let me know how the test goes.

6. "Critical Thinking"?

   SirenoftheSea replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you all for the wonderful responses! My next question: Does nursing school teach you to think critically?

7. Compass test

   SirenoftheSea replied to medical123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So the COMPASS test is similar to the GED? I should do fine then. I had to take the GED test because I had to drop out of HS, and they said I was in the top 5% of GED graduates in my state. (Sorry, I know this isn't my thread, but I found it helpfu...

8. "Critical Thinking"?

   SirenoftheSea posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   What exactly does it mean to "think critically"? I keep seeing and hearing this term everywhere. Sorry for the newb question. Thank you for your time.

9. Wow!

   SirenoftheSea replied to Emily Cox's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Oh gosh, that's tough. My school's failing grade is anything below 77%. (The school I plan on attending, anyway.)

10. dreading math for my upcoming lpn course

    SirenoftheSea replied to tebrown's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    You and I both. Do you know the name of the math course included in your school's LPN program? I think it's different for different schools.

11. What course was most difficult for you?

    SirenoftheSea replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Don't even get me started on math. I'm the worst at it. Thankfully, the only math course I'll have to take for my LPN program is "Contemporary Mathematics." I've heard it's easier than College Algebra. Still dreading it though... Why does one need to...

12. What course was most difficult for you?

    SirenoftheSea replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Is pharmacology under another name by any chance? I don't see any pharmacology courses as part of my school's LPN program.

13. What course was most difficult for you?

    SirenoftheSea posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    What course was most difficult for you and why? I'm just curious. I hear a lot of people talk about how hard A&P is.

14. CNA's: Please Read

    SirenoftheSea replied to SirenoftheSea's topic in CNA/MA

    Thank you all for the wonderful, informative responses! I'm still undecided on what to do at this point, but you all have been so helpful. I think one of the things that really bothers me is the pay. CNA's just aren't paid enough for all that they ha...

15. CNA's: Please Read

    SirenoftheSea posted a topic in CNA/MA

    My plan is to become a LPN, but I'm pondering becoming a CNA first. I just have a few questions for you CNA's out there: ~ Do CNA's have the option of working nights? ~ How many hours/days a week do you generally work? ~ What was school/training like...
