I went to Maric for the LVN program back in 2001, but I dropped... i don't recommend that school to anyone!

we all have different definitions of HARD. IMO nursing school is not HARD & i'm not saying it's easy either. i do find it very time consuming & combined with everything else going on in my life... stressful, overwhelming, & exhausting.

some of the CNAs at the hospital I do clinical's at seem to have attitudes towards us student nurses & others are extremely nice & work very hard. I think they do do most of the "dirty" work & are under paid

I'm from San Diego and was told the wait list at the JCs can range from 2+ yrs. Plus of course you have to finish the science classes before you can even get on the list. So in the meantime I was taking all kinds of classes and just waiting... Luckily, after I got married, my husband got stationed at Fort Drum, NY where the college there had no wait list. They take about 30 some students/semester and it's not hard to get in to. I was suprised to find out that the only prereqs where A&P I & II, 2 semesters of CHEM, college MATH, & passing a med calc exam with a 100%. Of course you'd have to finish the rest of the classes by the time you graduate. I find that those that have to take other classes with the nursing are struggling or dropping out like flies. The name of the college is Jefferson Community College which is part of SUNY so expect to pay $132/unit... it's not as cheap as the JCs in Cali, but in the end it'll all be worth it! oh and the NCLEX passing rate is up in the 90% range
