  1. Apollo College?

    DesertRain replied to jess1998's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An Apollo College opened up in my area recently, and it sounded really appealing. I thought it would be great to be able to skip the wait get in and be done my ADN in 18 months right? But I scoped out...

    DesertRain replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was on the same boat as you prior to taking my CNA course. I knew I was never going to work as a CNA but it was going to help me get into my ADN program at school. I know you said you are going to...

  7. Tech nursing in California

    DesertRain replied to lvnhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure about tech nursing, but over here they are called a Nurse apprentice. If you can find something that's once a week that's awesome, but if you are able to sacrifice for just one year, I...

  8. Am I over reacting?

    DesertRain replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    English is my favorite and best subject ever. However, I wouldn't even worry about it. Consider it a blessing. If your A&P Professor decides that he's going to skip out an entire system, then...

    DesertRain replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! At first I desperately wanted to get in for Fall '08 but decided that I needed a back up plan in case I didn't get in. So I made one! Then my back up plan started looking more appealing then my...

    DesertRain replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    DesertRain replied to chubbi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just do it! You are no older than plenty of my classmates. If you were able to volunteer and interact with patients before than you will remember how you did it like riding a bike. Sure you're shy,...
