It's really not that bad. It basically all high school level. For me the hardest part was the science because I hadn't studied some of the subjects in over 6 years, but I would just recommend getting...
The PAX-NLN exam consist of a verbal, math, and science (biology, A&P, chemistry, physics) section. It's all multiple choice and you have a hour for each section. They offer a study guide for the...
I did my CNA certification test in Florida and the first part was a written multiple choice test, which was really easy and focused mainly on resident rights, followed by a clinical portion where we...
I don't think they would see any problem in you not working during nursing school, it's really like a job in itself. You could always look into working a couple hours a week or over the summer as a...
CNAs can work in both hospitals and nursing homes though generally they don't work in doctor's offices, those usually hire medical assistants. The health insurance would depend on the individual...
I would say that you'll probably be fine, but maybe review anything you thought was particularly difficult. Asides from that, keep your old A&P book and then you can always refer back to it before...
I don't remember exactly how many pre-reqs that they had, but in seems like most of the people I know who went there got them done in about 3-5 semesters. Good luck and Happy
I did my CNA training in Florida and it was 6 weeks. It seems like for most places it is anywhere from 3-6 weeks but check with your state to see what the requirements are. Good
You did really well! Schools mainly look at the composite percentile score so you were in the top 92% for everyone applying to an associate's program. The scores for the math, verbal, and science are...
I think every nurse will definitely have some days where they wonder why they wanted to go into this field and during this national nursing shortage I know it's far from being a easy job. Try not to...
First off, congratulations on getting into the nursing program! As for the job fair, I've never been to one so I don't know how much help this will be, but I would say to dress nicely and fix up your...
I think it's completely normal to have those fears, but I think you just have to have faith in the education you'll receive and realise that practice and experience will do the rest. Never feel...
Hi Londi! I went to SCC for their CNA program and it is a very good school and they seem to really care about you. Since they don't go off of a waiting list, they really encourage you to try and have...
I would still try. Just be honest and tell them that you're planning on starting nursing school and those are the months you're available and it will either be okay or it won't, but at least that way...
I almost have the same plan as you do. :nuke: I just completed a CNA course in December and am now hoping to get into a ADN program this fall after which I'd like to do an online BSN. I wouldn't worry...
The written exam is all multiple choice. I took my exam in Kissimmee in December and basically most of the questions were about resident rights. I know it's hard not to be nervous but it really wasn't...
I know how you feel HGJ78, I just had an interview this week which I think went really well but I won't hear anything for at least 3-4 weeks, so I'm going crazy with the wait. :hdvwl: Good luck...
I'm not a nurse yet so maybe this won't help, but I think if you really feel like nursing is your calling then I don't think it will be a mistake. I do know that with all of the nursing shortages...
