You may need to research whether a part-time program is even available. Area ASN and BSN programs are full-time only. Or, were you referring to doing pre-req's part-time? Good luck with whatever you decide!

At my local hospital they only hire CNA II's (Acute Care Certified). All nurse assistants must have certification and nursing students do not get preferential treatment. Keep trying! Most jobs are filled before there is a job listing. Take a resum...

It depends on whether your school is on quarters or semesters. My school uses quarters, hence: AP I, AP II, AP III. Schools using semesters have AP I, AP II. 2 semesters = 3 quarters.

Agree with the above; it really depends on the school and how competitive enrollment to the program is. Get an honest opinion from an advisor or program coordinator. There is NO WAY C's would fly at my school. There are straight A students who don...

I feel it's pretty tough; it takes a lot of time management. I'm just finishing my prereq's (only 2 classes left!), and now I'n seriously reconsidering nursing as a viable career when I'm the primary parent to a four year old. I really don't get...

Wow; the CNA course is only 2 weeks?? The CNA course at my college is 3 months (one term). I'm taking it in the spring because my pre-req's will be done. I'll just be waiting to see if i was admitted into the program. Do you have a lot of pre-re...

Thank you for your encouraging replies; I really am excited to start working as a CNA. I like the sense that what I am doing really matters and it appreciated by the patients/residents I work with. Does anyone have any suggestions for reading materi...

Personally, I thinks those are two pretty hefty classes to take at once. At my school, though, you cant take chemistry with micro because chem is a prerequisite for both the A/P sequence and microbiology. So for me, it was a non-issue. Good luck.
