Greetings everyone. I am trying to figure out my finances / create a budget for LPN school. There is no doubt that I will have to work while in school. But can I realistically make enough as a full-time CNA to support myself? I have no other means ...

lorettap, I checked Nursing Unlimited's website and only see information on their 3 week CNA review class (skills and exam review). I am going to give them a call Monday, but would you know how often they hold the 1 week clinical only classes? Thanks...

Ohhhh! Would you please share the details? I am in Ft Lauderdale and am looking for a CNA prep course. Thanks!

boubi12, I am a student at McFatter now. Trust me on this, there are no student loans (at all) at McFatter. If you already have existing loans, they will certify it -- meaning that they sign something so your lender can grant you a deferment on payme...

:yeahthat: Definitely check the requirements of the nursing program you are considering. Most have very specific requirements regarding the lab component.

I am going full-time. Trying to finish as soon as possible so I can go on to ASN, BSN, etc. I have a long, long way to go.

I am currently a student at McFatter and will finish Term 1 this month. Yay! So far, I am satisfied with the school, staff and the education I am receiving. It's hard but not impossible. If you have specific questions about the program, feel free to...

Valencia Community College in Orlando has a Paramedic to RN transition program. I am still a LPN student, so I have not applied to their Advanced Standing Track nursing program. I've heard that there are no waiting lists, but don't know for sure. If ...

It totally annoys me when people say that. They cannot see the sacrifices we are making, or the stress we endure during nursing school. The worst thing I've heard was from an ex-boss, who didn't know I was pursuing admission into a nursing program. H...

Hello Flgal. I am still a PN student, but I hear that Indiana State University (http://www1.indstate.edu/nursing/) has actually online courses, after you complete your pre-reqs. If you have not completed your pre-reqs, they recommend The College Netw...

Is it possible you are looking at a CNA exam prep course? In Florida, for instance, the state allows challengers to take the exam, even if they have not completed a formal training program. As a result, 2 week review courses are plentiful in this are...

OMG yes! I am also working full-time and attending a full-time nursing program. I find it hard to turn "off" my brain after a long day of work/school. Funny thing, the one day that I don't work or attend classes, I sleep like a baby! I tried melaton...

I can totally relate. I work FT and attend a FT program, so I end up going to bed around 12:30am... and I just lay there thinking about things: lectures, upcoming tests, etc. I can't stop. I end up falling asleep around 3:00 am or so, only to wake ...

The information on the unofficial review site is not crap or inaccurate... take it from someone who not only took the TEAS, but also scored in the 90th percentile nationally (after reviewing with the unofficial site I posted earlier). You should use ...

Here's a link to an unofficial TEAS study/practice guide: http://www.testprepreview.com/teas_practice.htm The Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) is multiple-choice exam consisting of the following sections: Reading: 50 minutes, 40 questions Mat...

Have you called Amazon directly? This is the first thing I would do. The seller is going through Amazon's site, am I am sure that there are certain requirements he/she has to keep. (Amazon is very, very good about re-shipping missing/lost items. I wo...

I drink coffee in the morning and after dinner.... but it's a cultural/social thing for my family. I can drink a whole cup of espresso right before bed and still get some sleep.

What about lap-band? Would this also be an automatic PDQ? Or can someone possibly obtain a waiver for it? Anyone know of any Army Reserve nurses with a lap-band?

Same here! I've given up for now .... although I really do need to add some exercise into my schedule. At this point, sleep is much more important.

I just started a full-time LPN program this week... it was recommended that we study 2-3 hours per night. I've found that it takes me perhaps a little longer to complete my notes for the day, review, complete homework/assignments and skim the next da...

Oops ...misread question.

Oh allyb you and I are in the same boat. I start my LPN program tomorrow (YAY!) and it runs M-F from 8-2:30 pm. Then I rush off to work from 3-11:30 pm. I am still in training and once I complete it, I have the option of working weekends... but for n...

Don't stress over this. Once you get the hang of it, summaries are easy to do. You are basically taking information that has been given to you, condensing it and restating the main points in your own words. There's plenty of guides online regardin...

You would need general and professional liability insurance, crime insurance (in case something is stolen from a client's home), and a small amount of property insurance to cover business equipment. If you have employees, you will also need workers c...

While I don't have any experience with this site, I will admit to this... a LONG, long time ago when I young and stupid, I used one of these sites for a high school assignment. I just a few months shy of graduating and wanted to party, not study. Any...
