I'm preparing my resume so that I can apply for CNA training while going to school. Hoping that will increase my chances of eventually getting into the nursing program. Here are my questions: 1.) What is the difference between ASN and ADN? If I pu...

I took the course at Dunbar. It's a very good course and the instructors are both very nice and helpful. However, I have been certified since November, 2006 and am still unemployed. Go figure.

I attend TCC South and was thinking about taking a wintermester class? Has anyone ever taken one? How intensive is it?

Oh, I might add that on the 2nd to last class day, scouts came in looking for new CNAs with applications in hand. :)

It's too bad that the next class is so far away but for the price, it's worth the wait. If you want a sneak preview of the book we used, it was Mosby's Textbook for Long-Term Care Assistants (Paperback) ISBN: 0323019196. There's a workbook that go...

Did your book come with a CD? Mine did. It shows all the proper procedures in video form.

There was nothing hard at all about the class. If you have a basic medical background, it'll be even easier. There were some days that I actually thought it was a little too slow paced. There are 3 clinical dates towards the end of the class. My ...

Ok, more info. (Dunbar) The $144 also includes the fee for the state exam in addition to books. If you take a CNA class, save your receipt showing you paid for it. When you go work as a CNA, you can get reimbursed the cost of the tuition. See th...

Oh, more info. My class was from August 15th to October 19th. You are allowed to miss no more than 2 days. Clinicals are either at Stonegate or Trinity Terrace, depending on your class/instructor. My group is the last to go for the exam. So far,...

I'm currently enrolled at the one at Dunbar. It's an evening course 2X a week. It's $144 including books. You need to buy your own stethoscope, sphygmom, thermometer and scrubs (white only). When the course is over, they are offering CPR course f...

Wow, I wish we had something similar here in TX. LVN in 8.5 mos? Incredible. I wish I had something of value to share with you but don't. Good luck! P.S. Math stinks, doesn't it?! I have Algebra right now and it's the pits. My son had Honor...

When I look up medical fonts on the internet, I get fonts such as pharmacy pics and such. I'm looking for fonts such as: With (the c with a line over it), without (an s with a line over it), etc. Is this a dumb thing to ask or what? Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the links but I'm not looking for a list of abbreviations. I'm looking for fonts.

Just wondering if anybody has a preference when buying books. Have you found that it helps to have used books that have already been highlighted and written in? If not, do you like to do your own writing in them or keep them in pristine condition. ...

Great feedback! So which prereq books do you actually keep? I'm guessing Psych is a keeper as well as Micro , etc. What about books like Algebra, etc.?

My college bookstore won't give out ISBNs either. I go to the bookstore, examine the required books myself, write down the ISBN # and then go shopping online. This semester, my books would have cost close to $200 for just 2 books. I bought both fo...

I'm in a CNA class right now. My kids are 15, 8 and 5. I try to get the kids involved in my studying. I hand them the flash cards and they quiz me. Makes them feel like the teacher and in the process, I am studying! It's hard though because clas...

Ran across this and thought I'd post it here. Looks like it has a lot of valuable information. http://www.enw.org/TOC/htm HTH

I just signed up for my fall classes today. Beginning Algebra (N. Johnson) and Intro to Psych (S. Ervin.) Anybody else gonna be in my classes?

I've been thinking about taking the CNA course at TCC. Does anybody have any feedback about their course? I suspect your grants won't cover it??? Is it a thorough course? I've called just about every NH in the FW area and can't find one that has ...

Hi Kiya, I'm near Sycamore School Rd & McCart.

Dallas is pretty far from me. I live in SW Fort Worth. Thanks for the info though. That's a pretty good price in comparison to TCC. I would dread having to go to Dallas. I don't know it very well it all.

I live in Fort Worth and Dallas is about 30 mi. for me. And yes, we sometimes wish Dallas was a little bit further. Of course, I'm originally from Chicago (yuck) so a city like Dallas brings back all the reasons I moved from Chicago. I would never...

I haven't been to school since graduating HS in '83. Now I'm interested in going into Nursing, now that my youngest will be starting school in the fall. I was wondering if there is any particular order to take the prereqs, strategically speaking. ...
