1. Better to take an actual "PCT" class or just Phlebotomy??

   EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Technicians

   Hello, I hope someone has a bit of advice for me on this one. I just finished my CNA certification (yay!) and had planned to take a PCT course immediately after so I would be able to work in a hospital and make a little bit more money before I enter ...

   EthnicBeauty posted a topic in General Students

   I just got finished signing up for my last prerequisite for the nursing program, CNA (I'm on the waiting list). I ran into a current nursing student who said nursing school was miserable for her. Her and I got to talking a little bit and her aspira...

   EthnicBeauty replied to RDH-NrsgStudent's topic in General Students

   I will be (hopefully) starting Fall 2008!! :balloons: Our waiting list is 1 to 2 years as well but you get advanced placement with a certain GPA. I'll be attending an ADN program in Ventura, CA. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself I can't wai...

4. **Long Sigh**

   EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   We received grades. I got a C in Physiology lab, I knew it was going to happen because I've been having a lot of personal issues that made it very difficult to study and do well on tests. Should I retake this as soon as possible? The program I'm ent...

6. Best sequence......Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology.....

   EthnicBeauty replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took Anatomy and Physiology over the Spring. Not combined they were two seperate courses each with a lab but I took them together. That was a tremendous amount of work! My instructor requires two 10 page papers for each though (total 4 because it w...

8. Will I ever graduate????

   EthnicBeauty replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've held onto a quote since I was literally a little girl (about 7) and it has kept me going through so many painstaking things. I don't remember where I got it from but it's so true! "Never give up on a dream because of how long it takes to get the...

9. So . . .is nursing your final stop?

   EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is why I LOVE LOVE LOVE allnurses.com! Everyone here has such high goals and aspirations for themselves. It's great to see what everyone has in mind and keeps everything in perspective when things get tough (and they definately do!)

10. How many classes are to many?

    EthnicBeauty replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It really depends on how much help you have with your baby and how devoted to your school work you are. If you know you have fantastic study habits and learn quickly and have help I'd say go for it and add another class. But if you don't have stellar...

11. So . . .is nursing your final stop?

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm wondering what everyone's goals are. Are you just going for an RN, BSN, MS or is your ultimate goal something a little different? Personally I want to work as an RN for a while and if I like the healthcare profession I'll be going for NP or PA ...

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I believe this class is going to be an 11 week class, I've heard a lot of good things about the professor as well. I feel as though I'm doing nothing but studying now too blessed! I'm taking Anatomy, Physiology (seperately) and Human Development and...

15. I'm confused

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in LPN-RN

    I hope this hasn't already been asked, I've searched the forum and couldn't find what I was looking for so here goes. After graduating from an LPN/LVN program do you still have to take pre-reqs? The lady I spoke to about getting into their LVN progra...
