  1. Cardiothoracic & vascular vs CTICU

    It just depends. I work in a cardiothoracic surgical ICU - CTS ICU - but we also take vascular patients, though we have not always done this. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with calling and asking - it shows that you're really interested and curio...
  2. CNA Training Prepare You For Nursing School?

    It certainly won't hurt! CNAs do the skills that nurses designate to them - and in nursing school, you'll be doing a lot of those skills yourself. You WILL use this knowledge and experience you gain in nursing school, whether it's a bed bath or pri...
  3. JCCC applicants

    My interview included very "application" questions. Using common sense. Making sure you keep a theoretical patient safe.
  4. JCCC applicants

    Just wanted to give anyone on here who has applied to JCCC know I was told by office personnel they have yet to send out interview letters - think it'll be done in another couple weeks. So don't start sweating yet.
  5. any jccc or neosho grads or students???

    Hey there! Here is what I did: App was due at the beginning of January - the same month I was just starting Micro and A&P. I didn't have them all done when I applied, but I did have decent grades in the classes leading up to them, and I made su...
  6. any jccc or neosho grads or students???

    Hey there - ask all the questions you want, I've been there, I know what it's like. I DID finish my A&P before getting into the program - but I know of one person in particular who did not, and took it during the program. DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. N...
  7. Anyone know when JCCC will send letters for Fall '07 ADN???

    PS - maybe I worded the above wrong - some of those coures must be required before you apply, but some can be taken concurrently. However, you are more likely to be accepted if most (especially the science) courses are already completed. Further, t...
  8. Anyone know when JCCC will send letters for Fall '07 ADN???

    Hey - I'm a first year at JCCC. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] with more specific questions... but my first question is which program are you speaking of? LPN only has a couple of requirements - I think that's what you'r...
  9. cna starting pay

    CNAs I know of in JoCo make $10-$13/hr
  10. Brown Mackie?

    PS - we have lots of "older" students. Wherever you are, there you are. If it's something you believe in and really want to do, put a couple years into it - you'll love nursing school, trust me!
  11. Brown Mackie?

    I highly do NOT recommend Brown Mackie. I checked it out, and they lied to me about several different things. I asked for references from current students and recent grads and got the run around. Also, one of the first questions they asked was, "S...
  12. any jccc or neosho grads or students???

    Hi Benjamin, I'm a 1st year student at JCCC - I have to say, it's an incredible program! My recommendations for getting in: Have as many prereqs completed as possible Have experience working somewhere in the healthcare industry Volunteer time doesn't...
  13. HELP! I may need to drop out of nursing school!

    Hey - Do it. Seriously. Life will happen as it happens - you will roll with the punches, and wherever you are - there you are! I know several nurses that worked part-time (or are working part-time) as new nurses. Yeah, it may take longer to get in...
  14. How many did you lose?

    Geesh - are the programs you guys are talking about admit-anyone-who-applies?
  15. First year problem

    My 2 cents: People make mistakes, and you knowingly, under your own power, made a big one. If you are going to move forward in nursing, you have to understand that mistakes of this kind are not acceptable. I think enough people have beat you up over...
