   Im not putting anyone at fault for it. I actually totally agree with it. I was just expressing what I heard most of my class complain about when renewal time approached. I understand 100% with the reasoning of hospitals and schools requiring the annu...

   Shanna349 replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The score went up after the year I applied. I would venture to say that you need at least a 21 on your HESI (86 or above?) and definatly ALL your supports completed to give you a good shot at placement to the interview process. ...but then again, you...

   Were yall aware that DCCCD requires that you CPR cards be maintained ANNUALLY, as opposed to Bi- Anually. Yes, its a pain, but what can ya do. Just dont get your CPR till right before yoiu enter program. Just a thought from a DCCCD'er Grad RN Dec '05
