    codi1226 replied to codi1226's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That is insane!! Actually, we were working as "one person" because I was in training mode, so it's probably not out of the ordinary to have an 18:1 ratio. Also, I work in a hospital, I'm not sure if...

    codi1226 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so I just took my first (and hopefully my last) NET on Monday. I felt pretty confident on my math and reading comp. sections. Unfortunately, I had no clue there would be a science section!...

  17. NET Science Section??

    codi1226 replied to codi1226's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you Mommycakers!!! Don't you think it's weird that she didn't ask me to come in for an interview though? I'm just worried they don't interview the people they don't want. If I don't get in,...

  21. NET Science Section??

    codi1226 replied to codi1226's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I'm pretty sure it was the NET, except I think they call it the Diagnostic Nurse Entrance Test. It definitely wasn't the TEAS. I have heard there may be different "versions" of the
