Or have you taken it before? What should I expect? I'm pretty excited about starting Tuesday, Math 100B is my first class, PSY 101 is on Saturdays.

Not sure since I'm not a nurse yet, but I can tell you they definitely eat their CNA students. YIKES! I'll win her over yet, though, just you watch. "another Qualude, she'll love me in the morning" Nurse Ratchet is going to love me soon...she...

"Your friends are planning a trip for spring break and you are planning on sleeping then getting a head start on next quarter's reading assignments." That's my plan LOL!!!!

This very thing was highlighted in Michael Moore's Sicko...they even denied insurance to someone in the movie they deemed too SKINNY. WHA??!?!!? Truly sad, I'm sorry for your plight.

Clinical rotation = 'Clitoral inaction.' LOLOLOL My clinical is all day on Saturdays and with full time work, full-time school and a 5 year old, this is quite accurate...:lol2:

My turn, my turn... Nursing Assistant in training = 'Stunning 'n' satirising artisan.' (I like this one) Certified Nursing Assistant = 'Sadistic, unerring fattiness.' ...ummm...:stone

I'm doing pre-recs for the RN program and the CNA course this semester.... 17 credits, I work full-time and have a 5 year old little girl. (DH helps tremendously) I'm quite proud to say I'm currently maintaining my 4.0. I'm not sure how it's worki...

I am in the CNA program at my school and working pre-recs at the same time. (17 credits, woof, never again) So far all A's in all my classes but I find the best part of all is my clinical. I look forward to going every Saturday and love the residen...

Awesome to see others excited and ready like me. Good luck to you all.

OP -yeah I work full-time too so the Saturday clinical was the only way I could make it work. Good luck!!!!!

SWEE 2000, Thank you!:urck:

Initially it wasn't a requirement at my school and won't be until Fall 08, but I opted to take it anyway, and I am so glad I did. I am learning so much and the butt wiping and cleaning doesn't phase me. I like having so much time with the patients ...

I'm in a CNA course right now, as part of requirement for entrance into NS. We rotate in LTC and I see the CNA's doing all sorts of things wrong. Not my place to say anything since I am still learning, but being able to spot the errors is a learnin...

If I don't get in on time, I'm going into the Surg tech program. Since I eventually want to be an OR nurse, I figure that will be a good thing to do to pass time until I am excepted into NS. But positive thinking abounds...I will get in, I will ge...

This is probably the coolest find so far on allnurses.com. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I'm loving my CNA course by the way. Hope others are enjoying it as well. I just can't wait to start patient care in Clinical. This Saturday, we st...

As you may know the semester starts 1/22 which is a Tuesday. The lecture part of my CNA course begins on the 28th because that's the first Monday, however I have lab on Thursday and clinical on Saturday...Are they going to have me go to lab and clin...

I just got a Stafford loan that covered Fall retroactively, which means I get half of the loan in check form, since I paid all my expenses out of pocket for Fall...just waiting for the check. Spring gets dispersed soon and the balance after semester...

Hello I am just starting pre-recs in August. My class schedule is fine for now, I think, but thinking ahead at nursing school...Is it possible to work full-time and attend nursing school? I know there are a lot of clinicals and they take place duri...

I'm only in my first semester of re-recs for Nursing. Was planning on getting my CNA next semester, but we may move before then. Do the Junior colleges there offer CNA classes for certification. What's the nursing school acceptance like. Pre-recs ...

Thanks so much for the info - We'll find out soon if we're moving. Many thanks Julie

I am planning on getting my CNA next semester and everyone I talk to says Don't Do it, it's miserable work, you have to wipe butts and so on...To which I say, I'm not afraid of a dirty butt!!!! I feel that the bad rap CNA jobs get are propagated by ...

Hi there, I'm currently taking pre-recs for nursing and am considering taking the CNA course at CSN next semester. After I'm certified, I want to find some part-time weekend CNA work to suppliment my current job in another field. Does anyone know:...

Pulled from Webster's onlline... ....relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts That help?

I am but a pre-nursing student in my first semester and I agree that "poop happens" I have no delusions that I won't have to clean poop and that, like many here said, is just a small part of the job. I wipe my little one's butt everyday and she ca...

I have just started my first semester of pre-recs for nursing. I want to evenually be an OR nurse, and I was wondering if I should try for the surgical tech program instead. My only thought about that is that under an RN I am not limited to what I...
