  1. Will I like being a nurse?

    twinieten posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, um.... if I really don't like being a CNA, I'm not going to like being an nurse, am I? The only thing is, I work in a nursing home, right now. I wonder if I'd feel different in a hospital...

  2. The skinny on ASU 2nd degree program

    twinieten posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I went to the informational session today. One hour of great information, 2/3 of which had to do with the traditional route to nursing school at ASU. Long. But eventually, he covered the 2nd degree...

  3. Date time stamp 10/8/10

    twinieten posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    So I checked and I have a date/time stamp of 10/8/10 08:03. Wow, it's official! So what semester do you think we can expect? I was thinking Fall 2013. She told me 5 semesters when I went in

  4. How hard is being an RN?

    twinieten posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have always wanted to be a nurse. Well, maybe not always, but since I was a young adult. I didn't have the grades and was really quite stupid, anyways. I went another direction. So here I am, a...

  5. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    twinieten replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took my test about a week and a half ago and Hallelujah I passed! I was super nervous too, but luckily I did not forget the critical skills (like locking brakes). My testers were super nice, so that...

  6. Job search before or after certification?

    twinieten posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to finish my CNA class, next week being my last week. I anticipate another couple of weeks before I can test, so I'm thinking, minimum of three weeks to certification....

  7. Job search before or after certification?

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

    Wow, I had no idea it would take such a long time to be certified. I was told it could take up to a month, or longer. So much for my plans to hit the ground running. Thanks for the

  8. CNA wear

    twinieten replied to Chris NS's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm going to parrot others by saying, I doubt you'll be cold. If it's about extra pockets, there are scrub vests available that would probably

  9. How to go about applying when I don't have my license number yet...

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

    I just completed my CNA course, and I was surprised to learn from my preceptor that I could take a month or longer to get my certification. He said not to bother applying until I have that number. Can...

  10. Date time stamp 10/8/10

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    OMG, thanks for that

  11. Nursing school compared to Bio202

    twinieten replied to mom2a1c2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone taken the Patho Physiology through Rio? I was considering it for next

  12. HESI A2

    twinieten replied to SweetTac253's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I found the test to be very easy, even being away from any type of math class or English class for a very long time. I'm kind of kicking myself for not taking it sooner. There are some math...

  13. Date time stamp 10/8/10

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My first choice is Chandler Gilbert, and my second is Mesa. I'm going for the closer campus' first. I've put both traditional and accelerated on my list. Spring 2012, you think? I guess it depends on...

  14. The skinny on ASU 2nd degree program

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, like lower tuition or fewer requirements. Maybe extend that science requirement to something like decades instead of 5

  15. The skinny on ASU 2nd degree program

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They've had regular BSN, and they've had RN to BSN, but the second degree program is new. It isn't competitive because not enough people know about it. Last I heard, they still have half their seats...

  16. The skinny on ASU 2nd degree program

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We can only assume that when more people become interested in the program, at least when the number of applicants becomes more than the number of seats available, it will automatically become more...

  17. Which Maricopa CC has shortest wait list?

    twinieten replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The BSN programs are highly competitive, but since the 2nd degree BSN program at ASU is barely off the ground, it is not well known and not at all competitive. It will probably become more competitive...

  18. No CGCC programs for spring???

    twinieten replied to forestlakemommy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm very disappointed about this too. It limits our options tremendously. When I learned of this, I had hoped it was a temporary thing and spring classes would be offered again in the future. Is this...

  19. HESI?

    twinieten replied to Chris NS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know CMK. I found the Evolve book to be very helpful. I had to do a little work on my own to get some conversions not in the book, but I thought it prepared me. My english and math classes are...

  20. HESI?

    twinieten replied to Chris NS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HESI is a nursing school entrance exam. It's not a very difficult test at all. Get the book by Evolve, and use that as your study guide. Do you have to take the science

  21. Which Maricopa CC has shortest wait list?

    twinieten replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was told 2.5 years on the wait, but I would not be surprised if it turned out to be a little longer or even shorter. Some employers offer tuition reimbursment as one of their benefits. Not all...

  22. The skinny on ASU 2nd degree program

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So I drove out there today to learn what I already knew. Kind of a pain in that regard, since I could have saved the gas, but I guess face time is rarely a bad thing. My advisor said the program is...

  23. The skinny on ASU 2nd degree program

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think they expect to get some additional funding in the future, which would, hopefully, be passed on to students as reduced tuition. I know.... who knows what will happen :grad:. A part of me wants...

  24. The skinny on ASU 2nd degree program

    twinieten replied to twinieten's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing! I could go the MCC route, which I thought was closer to 6K now, and I could do my BSN bridge after, at a pace that would allow me to pay as I go, while I work. I also...

  25. Mr Thrifty Skeleton........Your opinion????

    twinieten replied to ruddergrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went on to Craigslist and found a Bucky skeliton for far less than it would have cost, new. I thought it was worth every penny! The Mr. thrifty's aren't too expensive. Might be worth it. After your...
