I'm trying to decide if I should take BIO 202 online at RIO this summer. I checked out the mini syllabus and the mention of only 2 tests and essay questions kind of scared me off. Anyone taken it there? Was it really hard? I would :redbeathe to be ...

RSAA is a place in Mesa where you can get your CNA cert. I took my CNA there and it was 5 weekends. From what I hear, the LPN program still has openings and there is no wait....at least that is what I was told when I called.

I felt unprepared but still passed.

Everyone was nervous about the skills test but it wasn't so bad. I got BP, entiembolic stocking, brushing a comotose residents teeth, bedpan, and I don't remember the 5th one, haha, but I passed. The written was easy. I got a 99%.

Yeah, we never went over hospital stuff and I've heard it's practically impossible to get a job at a hospital right out of CNA school anyways. You almost have to work in a nursing home before getting a job at a hospital.

I went to RSAA for my CNA and was told that what we got from them was NOT enough for NS so I have to take another CPR class somewhere else. I plan on going to CAC and they require the Healthcare card "C," whatever that means. It might be different ...

The only part of CNA school I enjoyed was goofing off with two of my classmates...one of them being Sbenning5. :) We met online right before class started. The rest of it was .......

Well, technically CHM 130 IS required because Microbiology is a co-req and CHM 130 is a pre-req to Micro.

I just called RSAA and they confirmed to me that you DO have to submit 2 fingerprint cards like I previously stated. The set you sent to AZBON is to get your background check done and the one sent to DPS is for the fingerprint clearance card.

RSAA told me we HAVE to send in 2 cards. One to AZBON, and one to DPS. You could call DPS and verify, but this is what I was told and this is what I did.

This was confusing me too, but I think I know what happened? Maybe. I went to RSAA and I wrongly assumed that when they said they do your fingerprints and the CPR class that it was what I needed for nursing school. WRONG. You must submit one set of...

Nope.

I don't remember what RSAA stands for....although it's in big letters on the wall at the school. :chuckle Here is their web site. http://rsaatraininginstitute.com/

I am going to apply for CAC for spring admission. I am currently taking my CNA course at RSAA. I am in the weekend program and it's 6 weekends...I am going into the 4th weekend, with clinicals starting Sunday. I personally find it very boring. I'm h...

I hope to start in the spring, but I was also told it was 3 days a week 8-3:30 but when I looked in the course catalog it had different hours....which were 4 days a week.

Yes you would need to include those transcripts.....As far as I know about the NET test, you do have to have a passing score but the score doesn't factor into whether you get a spot. Same with GPA as long as it's a C average. I don't think the chance...

No, you technically don't have to take these classes before getting into nursing school, although you do have to take the placement tests. 11 years ago when I took the placements tests for my first degree I tested into the lowest math but right into ...

\Sorry we de-railed your thread.

Awesome! I've been talking to another person who found me on here who is in that class also! So there will be 3 of us.

I start next month. I'll be in the weekend class.

So far so good. I took BIO 201 last semester in the evening. It was hard, but I passed with an A. I'm about 2-3 weeks into BIO 202 online and it's pretty easy to follow. I got a B on my first test. I don't remember much about the beginning BIO. I ...

I'm just finishing up my last 2. I'm taking BIO 202 online right now and the CNA course next month.

I signed up around the 2nd week in May? Are you going to CAC for nursing school too? I'm hoping to get in in January.

Wow, I'm surprised it's so full. When I called originally, they told me it was full but that they *might* open an extra 10 spots. I called a few days later and they HAD opened an extra 10 spots so I signed up. If it is full, that means that those ext...
