i can't speak for everyone but i'm relieved to be entering a new year. i understand times are hard and are predicted to get harder, but as i reflect on this past year my desire to become a nurse couldn't be stronger. previously my goal was to become ...

thanks for the replies! i can see what the bsn will offer me and still plan on working towards that. i understand to manage nurses you have to experience being a nurse yourself. after this semester i will have six science courses i need to complete b...

I am trying to make a career change from administrative work to health care and could use some suggestions on a eye catching objective. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys for all the help. I think I am just going to take the objective out all together and emphasize what qualities I have. I'll let ya'll know what happens:D

That is exactly what I am looking for - paid training. I have found a few places that except no experience but I'm having a hard time coming up with a way to link my experience with health care. Working in the customer service and legal fields requir...

Besides caring for my children and family members when they're sick I have no health care experience. That being said I am looking at positions for patient care/caregiver. I am not certified nor do I have the time to spare. I would need something tha...

FYI - All of my prior experience is administrative. I have dealt with a diverse group of people. For the past 3 years I have worked as a legal assistant. In this position I have dealt with clients with mental illnesses, dibilitating illnesses, and so...

I have been plugging away at pre-requisites for a year and a half now and due to soaring gas prices have decided to make the move to Austin by August 1st. I am married with two wonderful daughters ages 3 and 8. I would love to get some info on good e...

Already done but thanks anyway. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't forgotten;)

I have to agree with MotivatedOne - 2 years pre-req's and 2 years BSN nursing program. My goal is also NP or CRNA so for me going the BSN route would be faster. I have been taking pre-req's for a year and a half (3/4 time) and still have quite a ways...

I am taking pre-req's at ACC - my major is professional nurse.

Anyone........

I am currently completing prerequisites at ACC while working as a legal assistant part-time. I have been thinking about becoming a CNA to gain some experience before applying to nursing programs but I have some concerns: 1. How much do CNA's make in ...

I have heard of the same program referred by The Little Greek. I live in Kerrville and you can pick up information on it at the local texas workforce commission.

I find it easier to take handwritten notes during class and re-type them later. This also helps me remember the material.

I lived in San Antonio as a teenager and now live in Kerrville, which is about an hour away. I have to agree with labcat01 - the north side of town is one of the nicest parts of town with some of the best schools. If you don't mind a small commute I ...

I am thinking about dropping my college algebra course and taking it again next semester. I understand the information but I have been having trouble completing the test in the hour given. We have had two tests so far and I have gotten 50's on both (...

Thanks for the input. I plan to continue studying and hope that next semester I can get a class that allows for a little more time during tests. I do great on homework but I do that at my own pace and that usually take me a while. The school also off...

I know exactly how you feel. I have been in the same paralegal job for 3 years now and I've been continplating becoming a CNA to better my chances of getting into nursing school. I have children and fear that if I do it things might not work out and ...

I absolutely love the chicken strip dinner and the onion rings are to die for.

I just started volunteering with our local hospice. I will be visiting hospice patients in their homes and in nursing homes. I hope this gives me the healthcare experience that I need. Unfortunely our hospital offers the same volunteering opportuniti...

I also had to take elementary algebra and found that I understood it much better this time around. Everything suggested above is great. I would say dress in layers; some teachers keep the classroom really cold. Good Luck!!!!

I am currently finishing up my prerequisites and looking into several nursing programs that I would like to attend. One of my main concerns is the amount of debt I will be getting myself into with the cost of some of these programs (BSN) If you don'...
