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

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    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...

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

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  3. Is this average?

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had an appointment with an administrator of an LVN program in my area and found out the program will cost $25,000 including books, two scrub outfits etc. Is this normal? I'm fairly certain I will...

  4. Class of 2010 (starting nursing school in Fall 2008)

    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...

  5. Who else is entering a nursing program that . . .

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has a C.N.A licensure as a pre-wreck? Had to do it, it's too cute. As much as I can understand my schools reasoning in it, I think it's irritating to add on another class like this that just prolongs...

  6. **Long Sigh**

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  7. Best sequence......Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology.....

    EthnicBeauty replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  8. What is everyone dissecting for Anatomy Lab?

    EthnicBeauty replied to 2008nurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy rocked! We got to disect a cat, everyone had to name theres to distinguish between who's was who's when going back to get them each day (we named ours Mr. Wigglesworth) lol. We also got a...

  9. Will I ever graduate????

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

    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...

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

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  11. Micro in the summer?

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone done this? If so, how was it? I'm thinking about taking speech (first session of summer- 4 wks) and then Micro the second session so I can apply to my nursing school Fall 2007. The rush is...

  12. How many classes are to many?

    EthnicBeauty replied to hays2001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  13. Micro in the summer?

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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,...

  14. I'm confused

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in LPN to 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...

  15. I'm confused

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in LPN to RN

    Okay I think I found my answer. It looks like the science pre-reqs still need to be taken . . . grrrr! grumble grumble . . .

  16. Is this average?

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks for your replies ladies :) I thought it sounded a bit expensive, I guess everything in Cali is a bit more expensive though. I'll update as to whether I get in or

  17. Is this average?

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well, most people who would happily attend a school or anything else for that matter without getting the information they need are pretty stupid. Who would spend $25,000 without even knowing what they...

  18. Where does Chem come in?

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi again, I'm trying to get a head start and read up on a few things before I begin the anatomy class in Spring. Can anyone tell me where chem comes in in anatomy? I know the question might not make...

  19. Where are all the schools?!!

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Does anyone know of a LPN course in Ventura County? The only school I've found is Santa Barbara Business College and after talking to the lady she said they aren't launching any programs yet and have...

  20. Where are all the schools?!!

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I checked out what I thought was the Oxnard Adult School and only saw a CNA

  21. Is there enough time?

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in LPN to RN

    Thank you all for your replies, I'm so excited about moving forward and being able to support myself and my son. I'm living with my mother because I just finished going through a divorce. I'm so glad...

  22. Is there enough time?

    EthnicBeauty posted a topic in LPN to RN

    How long do the LPN programs run? I've heard about a year is that right? My CC has a two to three semester waiting list to get into the RN program, so I was thinking of finishing my pre-reqs to get...

  23. Is there enough time?

    EthnicBeauty replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in LPN to RN

    Thank you, that's exactly what I meant. I would hate to wait the three semesters not progressing. Once I get the ball rolling I hate to wait it out! :uhoh21: Do you know how long the LPN program is?...

  24. Is current thinking on pain control creating drug addicts?

    EthnicBeauty replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that I think if someone is in pain then they should get the necessary meds to relieve their pain. If someone is an addict then it will come out into the open at some point, no reason to...

  25. Anatomy Jitters...

    EthnicBeauty replied to NewCareer78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Boy do I know how you feel! I'm taking anatomy and physiology next semester and I'm terrified! I was enrolled about 5 years ago (straight out of high school) and didn't understand ANY of the anatomy...
