I am finishing up my last week (clinical week) in the evening class at Interim and I would recommend them to anyone!! The teacher is so great (I've heard the day teacher is wonderful too), the clinical sites are wonderful and I am 100% confident that I have the knoweldge and experience to pass my state exam which is next Wednesday. I've also heard good things about getting hired after graduation because of Interim's great reputation. It's not a long class, not too expensive and when it's all over with, you'll be confident that you can pass your state exam too!! Best of luck to ya!!

Hey everyone! I'm Bethani, I live in Broken Arrow, I'm 23, married for 4 years, 1 1/2 year old daughter, 2 dogs. Going to Interim for my CNA starting Monday and then who knows from there. I'm thinking about trying to work at St. John's but still not sure, I want to work in the maternity dept. - either L&D, Postpartum, the NICU or the nursery. Not sure if I should go for the LPN and then start the prereqs for the TCC nursing bridge program or just skip the LPN. I worry that the whole thing is going to take me longer than most people because I'll have to work full time and also have a family and house to take care of. I'll get through it somehow!

Hey tremblelina! I'm in the same boat as you are!! No previous college and not sure what route to take to becoming an RN. I'm trying to decide which would be better - getting the CNA or the PCT/AUA. I'm planning on working at a hospital while I go to nursing school so I'm kind of thinking that a PCT would be better as it pays more. They have a PCT class at Tulsa Tech that I'm looking in to but I'm not sure what the schedule will be. The one for this spring was 6-10 p.m., costs about $600 and is about 20 weeks long. I've heard that CNA classes are only like 10 weeks and cost like $550. Hmmm??? I just need to take my CPR class (I'll be doing that tomorrow and the next day) and figure out whether I need to do the CNA or the PCT... Good luck to ya!!
