NA program while waiting for RN spot

Published

Does anyone know of a good NA program that I can complete while I wait to get into a weekend slot at GCC for my RN? I'm on the list but know better than to sit holding my breath and figured I should get the NA and get into the field while I wait. I also am working away at my remaining pre-reqs for the BSN . . .

I really would prefer not to be in a nursing home, although I would be willing to do hospice. I checked with GCC but they don't have anyone lined up for evening classes for the fall as of yet . . . wondering what other options are out there, how much they cost, good and bad experiences, etc. I am leaning towards a community college program versus one of the ones some of the retirement centers provide because I don't want to commit to work for anyone for x amount of time. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Were the BIO classes difficult? I'm not worried about the BIO 156 really but the 201 & 202. I'm also taking them online.

So far so good. :up: I took BIO 201 last semester in the evening. It was hard, but I passed with an A. I'm about 2-3 weeks into BIO 202 online and it's pretty easy to follow. I got a B on my first test. :yeah: I don't remember much about the beginning BIO. I took BIO 181 11 years ago when I was fresh out of HS and I remember it being really hard, but I was young and not as driven as I am now. :specs: BIO 156 is probably a bit easier than 181 though.

Yeah, I figured BIO 156 would be a cinch. I always liked biology. Math is my nemesis. :devil:
