2. Can I challenge the CNA cert after first semester of RN?

   RainbowHead posted a topic in General Students

   If any of you have read my recent discussions, you'll know I've been trying to get into the CNA program. But I had a thought: if I'm going into the RN program, won't I just learn every thing a CNA would need to learn during the first part? I don't se...

4. Debating on On-Campus classes vs Online

   RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow, that's really something. Maybe there are more hidden costs to online than I thought. Money is an issue for me.

   I'll be starting classes (pre-nursing) in the Spring and I've been discussing how to work out my schedule with my partner. We will have a new apartment by Sept 15 and we both work to pay the bills. I may need a second job to pay through my classes wh...

6. So you're just a nurse?

   RainbowHead replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

   My friends from high school went into the cosmetology program. I'm going to college and into the nursing field. I pray to God I can meet them again one day at the hair place where they work and casually explain what I do for a living. Meanwhile they ...

7. Need advice on how to approach my pre-reqs

   RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's interesting. There is a note right below the list of coursework that needs to be done saying that I can take a Med Term course in addition to the pre-reqs, but it's not required. I'm strongly thinking about taking that, maybe online.

8. Everyone wants me to take Nursing?

   RainbowHead replied to PoppyLizz's topic in General Nursing

   I'm unfamiliar with the career of a DA. But three things that come with a nursing education are growth, flexibility, and variety. (Notice I didn't mention salary)

   RainbowHead replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sitting here trying to think of a way to respond to this. The immensity of the loss and grief those two are living through right now is too great to imagine. I hope they have loved ones to take care of them.

11. Is saving up so that I can pay my rent in nursing school a good idea?

    RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would work. But I wouldn't be able to as much as I would be through pre-reqs because it would be full-time.

12. Is saving up so that I can pay my rent in nursing school a good idea?

    RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing

    @Sour Lemon, RN I understand. I only plan to take 1-2 pre-reqs per semester. I don't want to overload myself.

13. Is saving up so that I can pay my rent in nursing school a good idea?

    RainbowHead posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    This coming spring I'm going to be starting my pre-nursing course work, ideally online. I'm thinking about getting a second job to have deposited directly to my savings account while I take my pre-reqs over the next few years. My boyfriend and I have...

14. Can't use financial aid for CNA?

    RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in CNA/MA

    I think that might be why. Apparently since it's a vocation and not pure education then they don't want to pay for it.

15. Can't use financial aid for CNA?

    RainbowHead posted a topic in CNA/MA

    So today was interesting. My boyfriend of two years and I found out that we will be moving into our first apartment next month, both exciting and worrying. I also found out from the school I will be attending that the CNA program I am applying for do...
