  1. Carrington College Reno?

    I highly doubt the lowest score to get in was a 96%. I am in the last semester at Carrington, and when I was accepted I scored a 94.5% and got right in. I would think you'll be fine.
  2. ICU as a new grad

    I live in Reno, NV ( I know NV isn't one of the states you wanted) but we have a big new grad program at one of our hospitals here. They hire new grads into the ICU program every 4 month. This time it was around 16 people. Sometimes it's more, som...
  3. It all really depends on where you live. I'm in Nevada and the class that's graduating now (they walk tomorrow) all have jobs and they haven't even taken their nclex. Well, all but 2 people have jobs. During my clinicals I was asking RNs if they k...
  4. Wait to take CNA exam?

    I just finished that CNA course and on one of our last days we met with a rep you organizes all of the tests here in Reno. She said it totally depends on when your graduating. Even within your semester. If you are one of the first classes to gradu...
  5. TMCC Program

    Thanks for the reply LIFE IS GOOD! The employee I was shadowing was a Critical Care Tech, that's just her official title. She is basically a CNA, she said she got hired right out of school and wasn't required any other training besides her CNA cert...
  6. HESI a2 (question about the exam itself/study guide)

    I recently took the hesi a2 but I only had to take the math, reading, and vocab sections. The math section of the study guide is exactly like the test. The vocab was a bit harder, quite a few words that weren't in the study guide. I would study a ...
  7. TMCC Program

    I wouldn't say she was lazy. She was actually great at the part of her job that I saw her do, she just didn't do much patient care. I think they are a little short-staffed when it comes to CNAs right now and she really had ALOT of stocking to do. ...
  8. Taking CNA course before nursing school Worth it?

    Hi LotteryGirl! Everything is going great. I'm about to be in my 6th week of clinicals for my CNA course. I decided to do the full semester program in Reno @ TMCC instead of driving to Fallon @ WNC everyday for 6 weeks! I'm liking the class. We...
  9. TMCC Program

    Hi again kjsquared...sorry it's been over a month! I didn't know you had replied to me! I'm actually in the middle of my CNA course. I've been doing my clinicals once a week for the last 5 weeks. Going into it, I also thought I wanted to end up i...
  10. More Strange Baby Names

    My husband keeps telling me that he really wants to name our next boy Scrappa! NO WAY! He doesn't find that weird at all!!! My son's name is Gage, which is becoming more common, but some people think it's really strange.
  11. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    the good thing about you not working once you're in school is that you'll have to re-apply for financial aid each fiscal year. carrington blocks out the cost in 3 "years". 2 semesters for each year. the 2nd year is the really expensive one. so yo...

  13. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    Kari72. Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to you...I used the Mosby Elsevier Admisson Assessment Exam Review 2nd edition. That's the study guide that Carrington suggested. I didn't use anything else but the information that's in the study gu...
  14. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    I took the Hesi a2 yesterday and got a 94.3% overall. I only had to take Reading, Vocab, and Math. I scored 98% on Vocab and Math and only an 86% on the Reading! Oops. It told me I was bad with conclusions. Math was very easy. If you memorize w...
  15. HESI A2 Entrance Exam

    Just an update...I took my Hesi today and got a 94.32% overall. I only had to take Math, Vocab, Reading Comp. Everyone is right about the vocab....most of the vocab words from the exam are NOT in the book. Much more in depth medical terminology on...
