Wow, 1500$ on a CNA class! That sounds crazy. In the area I live in CNAs don't make enough to spend that kind of money on a class. I agree with some of the previous posters that I would go to someone...

I understand how you feel. I am the same way, couldn't wait till class ended now am ready to start back. I bought an NCLEX book and will do some studying to keep my brain fresh over the summer. I...

While pregnant and then the birth of my first child. I have always been healthy so I never really went to the doctor so I was never introduced to nursing. While pregnant and during the birth of my...

My school has a high fail rate, the class that just graduated started out with 40 and only 18 graduated. Once a class starts their 3rd semester they have LPNs who join the class so its hard to say...

Also meant to say that I bought some of my resource books (drug book, etc) online for a lot cheaper than the college book store offered them.

I am in an ADN program in eastern NC and I haven't found nursing school to be that bad, am halfway through. It can be stressful and if you let yourself get behind in studying then yes, its horrible....

I have a pair of Danskos that someone gave me for Christmas, but they hurt my feet. I usually just wear a pair of New Balances. They are super comfy.

I fainted while at an observation it was very embarrassing. I wasn't at a hospital so they sent me to one to get checked out. My instructor told all of my classmates that they weren't allowed to talk...

I worked 3rd for a couple of years while taking classes but I made my schedule where I worked Fri, Sat, and Sun 12 hr night shifts. I was able to study some while at work in between rounds. I never...

Am not sure that a BSN program would be any harder than an ADN program (not really sure am in ADN). You might have failed but it showed you how not to study, and hopefully you figured out a better...

If its something you want to do why not? Its either except that or wait till 2015.

I also dropped out of high school but not for the same reasons. That must have been terrifying. I realized when I was 18 that I had made a stupid decision and went and got my high school diploma. I...

I lost weight, so far I have lost about 15lbs. A lot of my classmates have complained about weight gain though. We are only halfway through. I think it depends on eating habits.

Am there with you, except the 4.0 that is awesome! I went and helped with the graduating classes pinning ceremony last night and couldn't help but think that will be me next year! It was so exciting...

So classes have let out till August and that means I am half way through my ADN program. I was wondering how did everyone keep the information fresh for next semester? I would hate to lose any info...

At my orientation I felt like they were trying to scare the crap out of all of us. Everyone in the room had a look of terror on their face. They just were explaining how difficult it will be and what...

I don't think you really know how you feel until you start clinicals. When you start hands on with patients and really see what a nurse does then you know if you want to become a nurse. I have...

I have been in nursing school a little over a month and I don't find it that bad. I found a way to make my schedule around my husband and 2 kids, working, and study time. I don't have as much free...

My instructor said the first test is always the worst. Out of 54 students only 14 passed the first test. We have to get a 80 or more to pass. Like many others have said go look at the test ask...

$876? Wow, that is a lot of money for a CNA certification. Were I live CNA's with years of experience make around $9 hr so that much money would be a waste.

I started a little over 2 weeks ago and will graduate Spring of 2014!:w00t:

Am sure they won't be easy for long. I had just been told by several senior students the first few weeks are really hard. I just shocked that I find it to be fine. Am also lucky I finished all my...

I started my nursing program on Monday and the first day was kind of scary (they even had a few drop outs that day). After starting lectures and getting into the work am not that stressed. I can...

My program gets 400+ applicants and only accept the top 40 students! I know people who have been trying to get in for years. Lucky for me I got in on my 2nd try!

I have a family member that is a ultrasound tech and she hates it. She said after the first 6 months the job was boring. She is currently going back to school for something else.
