1. National American University???

   kjlewis76 replied to LadyBug0387's topic in Kansas

   I'm not sure how fast NKC is about the acceptance, but I saw a couple girls from NAU in CA and it took them 2 months to find out if they got in or not. Best of luck to you! I'll be applying for next June's program!

   And this mentality and attitude is EXACTLY you are good at what you do!! Good job!! Those residents are lucky you're there. :)

3. I Don't Want To Take 9 Prerequisite Courses :-(

   kjlewis76 replied to Tee_Gee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would rather take 8 pre reqs than be forced to otain a CNA licensure that I'll never even use. I'm already an MA and see no real purpose (other than money for the institution requiring it) to get a CNA licensure. I'm going to be an RN, and will nev...

   kjlewis76 replied to sdopem's topic in California

   No, I'm just starting the program. I just wondered if you had heard so I can judge how long is "normal" to wait, when I do apply! :)

   kjlewis76 replied to Tee_Gee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My school has 17 pre reqs for the BSN. I would count myself lucky if I had 8 or 9! Hang in there, you can do this. I'm sure you will find every one of them useful in education.

   kjlewis76 replied to sdopem's topic in California

   sdopem, I'm in KCMO. I have kicked around taking my gen eds at the CC here b/c it's WAY cheaper, but have decided just to stay with NAU the whole way. Thanks! I haven't been to school since 2003 when I went for Medical Assisting.

   Reading this post made me feel so happy! I am a prenursing student just starting NAU on March 9th. In KCMO. Right now I'm in the ASN program but planning to transfer into the ABSN! I'm just so happy to see a thread about NAU that is positive! If yo...

9. 2nd week of clinicals and I don't know if I'm going to make it

   Reading all this is seriously making me DREAD having to obtain my CNA to continue with nursing school. UGH!

10. 2nd week of clinicals and I don't know if I'm going to make it

    kjlewis76 replied to Getreal2011's topic in CNA/MA

    You can do this!! I agree with CSO/CNA Instructor. The instructor probably had some concerns with others and just voiced them to everybody. I'm sure you are good at what you are doing and were doing exactly what you said you were. Usually, it's the o...

11. National American University???

    kjlewis76 replied to LadyBug0387's topic in Kansas

    Well, glad to hear that you are finishing your education. What works for one, doesn't always work for another. Any education has to be better than none. I, personally, have called recruiters at North Kansas City Hospital, Liberty Hospital, St. Lukes ...

    kjlewis76 replied to LadyBug0387's topic in Kansas

    I went to the OP campus just a few hours ago to look into their BSN program. They discontinued their LPN program last summer, they said. They also have a plaque on the wall that says their ASN pass rate was 100% and I haven't loooked yet, but don't t...

13. ADN or BSN. Which should i choose? HELP

    kjlewis76 replied to marcopolo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    We are certainly in similar situations. Both broke, both have nothing but time on our hands, and wanting to do what's best! I am wondering if I should attend a BSN school here in MO. It's called UMKC. It's a top notch school as well and I think it ...

14. National American University???

    kjlewis76 replied to LadyBug0387's topic in Kansas

    I didn't even know they had an LPN program. I thought they only had an ASN program. Now that I have been reading this thread, I am thinking about going to UMKC instead and just getting the BSN. It seems like it would be a better thing to do. I did ta...

15. Older Nursing students

    kjlewis76 replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I'm so glad to hear that there are some "non traditional" students out there! Yes! I'm 35 and just now starting my pre req's. I am currently an MA, but want my ASN. Would love to obtain my BSN, but am afraid to bite off a chunk of 4 years when I have...
