    Called off too many times?

    Neo Soldier replied to MS0298's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Is it possible that you find an area in nursing that isn't physically demanding. In direct patient care, you will most likely have to do strenuous

    I'm in CA as well. It usually takes 48 hours. I took mine on a Friday so it took four

    West coast university HELP

    Neo Soldier replied to Peachgirl's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to riverside city college for my ADN. Also, you will still get hired if you earn your ADN. You may be limited where you get hired but the important thing is that you get a job while you work on...

    West coast university HELP

    Neo Soldier replied to Peachgirl's topic in School, College Programs

    You're right about that. The reason I'm trying to discourage you from going to WCU is that it costs about $11,000/term (10 weeks). Can you cope with a lot of information in ten weeks? If you fail a...

    West coast university HELP

    Neo Soldier replied to Peachgirl's topic in School, College Programs

    Is it too late to apply for CCs to begin in January of 2019 since you won't start core nursing in WCU until January

    Hate CNA Class - what should I do?

    Neo Soldier replied to BaronHarkness201's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Patient care is never easy. I didn't like CNA school or clinical; it was too much work and I felt like I was clueless at everything. Even if you withdraw, you say you want to become a doctor which...

    Yes! I'm an RN now. I technically had to wait four days. I was so

    passed 2nd attempt NCLEX RN

    Neo Soldier replied to arc0816's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats. I was curious because I took the NCLEX on the 10th of August - a Friday and I didn't get my results till Tuesday. I guess it's because I'm in

    UWORLD vs Kaplan

    Neo Soldier replied to akurtz1127's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used both UWorld and Kaplan. I did 2000 questions on Kaplan and about 1000 on UWorld. When I took the NCLEX, I realized just how helpful U world was to me. The rationales were more in depth;...

    Gap year before nursing school?

    Neo Soldier replied to Sweetie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most nursing schools require prereqs including private ones. You won't be able to start CORE nursing without those. Even though you've been accepted to the private school, you still have to take...

    Textbooks

    Neo Soldier replied to chichimel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Abebooks is a good one too and they have older editions of everything. Unless your school wants you to use a code from a brand new textbook, you can use an older edition. Sometimes, the only...

    ADN program in CA

    Neo Soldier replied to jeongyihong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Turn in your application anyway. The worst that can happen is that you don't get in. In my school, they require you to have no classes in progress. That's what I always thought and that's what I told...

    a & p & english 101

    Neo Soldier replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would have felt better about encouraging you to take both together but you work full time and I don't think it's worth the gamble to take English and A&P. If you get anything less than an A in...

    Nursing School Essentials

    Neo Soldier replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in General Students

    A laptop is really helpful. For me it meant that I didn't have to print anything out unless I had to turn something in. Foldable clipboard. I bought this in my last semester; I couldn't believe how...

    Job for nursing students

    Neo Soldier replied to leahlapp's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    After taking fundamentals, you don't need to go to CNA school. What they teach in fundamentals is above and beyond. That's what my friend did. All she had to do was pay for the exam and she got her...

    Studying for CNAs

    Neo Soldier replied to Nursingmentor's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to touch on the "...feeling sad" one. I think that's subjective. Some antipsychotic medications could alter a person's expression of emotions, also emotions could be cultural. Feelings aren't...

    CNA TO RN

    Neo Soldier replied to NurseMc2020's topic in General Students

    RCC uses the point system and so if you are a CNA when you apply you get points. More points if you have work hours. Below is a link to the pdf of the selection criteria....

    Brand new CNA just graduated high school!

    Neo Soldier replied to jesdl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I started out as a CNA, I floated to all the different units to get a feel of the how things are done there; sometimes you have to work outside your home unit due to census etc. You will be...

    CSN Nursing Spring 2019

    Neo Soldier replied to crimsonhart's topic in Nevada Nursing

    It's possible to work during the first semester as long as you keep up with your studying. In my program, most people worked. I can't truly tell you how the first semester will go because it's...

    Looking for online A&P

    Neo Soldier replied to srock28's topic in School, College Programs

    You just have to ask the schools whose nursing program you want to attend if they will accept an online class, or if they accept credits from the school you intend to take the online class. There are...

    Nursing schools in Los Angeles area

    Neo Soldier replied to Alyssa4nursing's topic in General Nursing

    I live in SoCal and nursing is highly impacted and some schools have a wait list while some have an alternate list (It's different from a waitlist because you have to reapply if you don't get picked...

    TEAS

    Neo Soldier replied to M.bella's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Your TEAS score is really low. What did you study with? And also how did you study? You GPA, although good is not competitive enough for nursing. Even though your high school GPA is good, I think it...
