   summr replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I was not pampered by my principal, and I DID NOT have job security. Every June of my 5 years teaching I wasn't sure if I was coming back. On the other hand, I took a CNA class last summer to see if I wanted to work in health care, and the nurse that...

   I took the Info Systems & Computer Applications test this week and it was more difficult than I originally thought... I have both REA books for computer and human growth and development if anyone still needs to study. I'm at orientation on the 1...

5. Teacher turned Nurse

   As a former teacher, I too worked long hours. Long hours at home preparing for my classes. I was not pampered by my principals, but ignored or harassed. I attended funeral(s) of students killed because of gangs and suicides. These were students who I...

   Hell All-- I'd be interested if getting a card through a clinic qualifies... I have temporary 6-month insurance through blue cross blue shield (I lost my job in August and my insurance ended at the end of September) and it is $67 a month for my age/...

   I meet the criteria for guaranteed, 3.0 for science so far, and 3.4 for other classes depending on what they decide to use. And an 87 on the exam, so that should be okay. I didn't write a personal statement, but I did everything else. Thanks for the...

    Hello! I spoke with an admissions counselor a few weeks back and it looks like I'm a good candidate for Spring 2011, but I need to finish Microbiology and take 2 CLEP exams. Were you finished with all your prerequisites before you applied? Thanks!
