Bobbi- Congrats on getting in so soon! So you think it will only take 2 semesters to finish? I know I don't have anywhere near that many points. I only have 2 pre-reqs left too. I'll be doing those in the fall and I'm going to go ahead and apply in August for Jan but I doubt I'll get in. Does anyone know how many people apply and how many they let in? I heard they were letting some people do it online. I would love to do that.

I should've asked about OKC! Thats where I live. I'm thinking either Metro Tech or OSU OKC. OSU OKC is about a month long and about $400. anyone gone to either of these ? Is it really easy to get a job as a CNA when you're done?

What schools offer classes for the CNA? How long do they take? I want to be a CNA while I'm working on my nursing classes to get experience. Francis Tuttle supposedly takes 5 months.. anything that takes less than that? Also, how much is the starting pay for a CNA?

I will have to check that out then!

Thanks so much !!

So can CNA's work in any part of a hospital? what kinds of things do they do?? i may start calling around and see if anyone will hire me to train. thanks!

I have just been accepted to a community college where I'll get my associate RN. How does this compare to those who will get a bachelors degree when I start looking for a job? Is the pay any different?? It seems like the easy way to only go for 2 years... I have about 30 hours of basics done, and i only need 4 more before ill start on the nursing courses. Also, how do you specialize in L&D , postpartum, etc?? Does everyone have to take the same route and just start working to get experience in these fields? I am thinking of becoming a CNA while I wait to get into nursing school. How do you go about doing this?? Would it be worth the experience, etc?? What about AUA, and other jobs like this?? I've seen all these abbreviations and I'm not sure what they are! What do these stand for and which one would be easiest to get my foot in the door? thanks, and sorry if my questions sound dumb. I am new at this!

I am 23 and I have just been accepted to Rose State. I have 4 basics to take and then I will apply to the nursing school. Does anyone know how hard it is to get into Rose State?? What are your opinions of the school? Also, I was wondering about becoming a CNA. How do you go about doing this?? I would like to get some experience now while I'm working on nursing classes. My friend got hired with no experience. Do they train you?? Do you need to be certified? Rose is a 2 year associate RN, correct?? I'm hearing different things about it.. some say its only the LPN. I am all sorts of confused. Also, how do you specialize in L&D, post partum, and all that?? Any insight would be greatly appreciated !!
