  3. NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

    I can't answer your question personally, but my nursing instructors all swear by the ATI and Saunder's practice tests. Previous students agree. We have to take ATI tests throughout the entire program and the Dean swears that's why the school's NCLE...
  4. NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

    That's because people haven't learned how to use the nifty little tool called the Search Box up in the top right-hand corner of the screen. It's amazing how much information one can find with just a little bit of homework. But no, they need to be c...

    As wonderful as the VA opportunity sounds, it seems family is definitely your priority and the way you've painted it in just a few paragraphs, the strain on the family might be strong enough to warrant walking away from the VA (for now). We like to t...
  12. CNA programs in San Diego

    I looked into the Poway and Grossmont ROP programs as well and they didn't fit my schedule. I took the weekend CNA program through California Medical College and they were very good. Excellent curriculum, phenomenal instructors. The facility we di...
