  1. Microbiology

    For me, it was much easier than A&P. I also found it to be a little bit more interesting. Good luck
  2. You might want to try a CNA class. You will get some hands on experience.
  3. Do i belong somewhere else or am I overreacting?

    Hang in there give your self some more time and do not be afraid to ask questions.
  4. Some ideas about clothes

    You might want to try JC Penney, Fashion Bug and the Avenue. If you want to look on line try Women With In and the web site will have a few places to pick from I think a pair of slacks and a nice shirt will be good. Good luck!
  5. Any RN's willing to help out??

    Even though you are busy, I would suggest that you volunteer at a hospital for a couple of weekends if you have time before your application is due. This way you will be able to interact and hopefully meet someone willing to help you.
  6. Pre-requisites first?!

    Check the website of the college that you want to attend, it will give you information on required classes. It will be a lot esaier if you already have them done before entering your program. It dpends on the area that you live in if the hospitals ...
  7. CNA Course Timing Question

    I did not find my CNA class to be hard. The hard part was the time. It sounds like you do not have enough time. You may want to wait until Summer. Because you still have to study for all the your classes. Good luck
  8. Good idea. Sounds fun and if you feel that it is too much maybe you can alter ther routine and costumes.
  9. how to survive nursing school- financially

    I work as much as I can and then use student loans for the rest. It is still difficult. It is not an easy road. I tell my self in the end if I get there it will be worth it.
  10. just a hello

    There are people older than you, so it is ok. There is also a male forum link maybe that can help you. Good luck
  11. CNA class and practicing on your classmates

    It can be a bit awkward. I was the biggest in my class. We had to practice things like making the bed, transfers, dressing and ROM on each other. After awhile we were used to each other. When you are in your clinicals you will have all types of pa...
  12. Is it possible?

    You should do it if you have the time and money. It will give you some medical background and you will already know some of the stuff that you have to do in your first semester of nursing school. Good luck
  13. should i stay where there are more jobs?

    It is a tough call. I think that some of the questions in the first response are something to think about. And if you can get a job as a new grad where you work now the experience that you will gain will be valuable when you look for a new job. If ...
  14. how long does it take to get TEAS test result?

    I took the test at the school I go to, so I do not know. You should call the nursing dept at the school you are applying to and they will let you know. Good luck!
  15. how long does it take to get TEAS test result?

    When I took the test the results were ready after I was done. It was all done on the computer. I was able to print my results and see my score.
  16. Question about becoming CNA

    I agree, if you have the time and money do it now. That way you will not have to look for schools when you get there. In your new area the shcool may not be close or it could be expensive who knows. So if you up for it go now. GOOD LUCK!
  17. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    When I took my CNA course there were highschool students in our class. They did the same work that we all did in clinicals. I had one patient that covered himself up during the shower. The other male patients that I had were fine with the showerin...
  18. Helllppp! CNA crisis

    I would try posting your question about the school on the Maryland site. At my community college they offer some certificate programs that are shorter. Hope thie helps a little.
  19. I like to shop a the .99 store when ever I can. I also try to stick to a budget. When I see something on sale I think is this a want or a need.
  20. Signing up for my CNA class today!

    Good Luck!
  21. Scared about not passing

    I am sure you will do just fine. Take good notes and review them every day.
  22. Pep talk

    Do not give up, I also have been trying for awhile. Like Azcna posted check to see what can boost your over all application. Keep your head up, your struggles will be worth it one day.
  23. CNA pre-req class- really unsure about it

    CNA students and working CNA'S post here. You have valid concerns. In my own personal experience the CNA class is required for my program. I never worked in the medical field. I thought how am going to this. But taking the class was good to see som...
  24. First meeting with School... Any advice?

    It took me years to do my pre reqs, but the time goes by quickly. Good luck these classes are not easy so 1 at a time may not be bad.
  25. Hi Everyone!

    I have 1 class left in my pre reqs. When I took the CNA class I had no medical background. So it was good for the experience. And yes there is a lot of gross stuff. Some of it you will over come and some will just always gross you out, but you learn...
