  1. IS IT BETTER TOO...?????

    aleighc1 replied to mz.hellokitty's topic in General Nursing

    An ADN allows you to sit for the NCLEX to become an RN. If you have the time, go straight to RN, you will make more money right from the start. I know there is a lot of debate about this, but some...

  2. Anyone else finishing prereqs and getting ready to apply?

    aleighc1 replied to j450n's topic in Washington Nursing

    Everett Community College has a CNA course that is 10 credits, and I think they are going to offer it for spring quarter this year. (I took it about 4 years ago and thought it was a really fun...

  3. Oh no! Advice please!

    aleighc1 replied to dalsor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Something very similar just happened to me, but it was cellular biology I was trying to get in. I've been out of school for a year, so I was in the last group to be able to register. I was so bummed...

    aleighc1 replied to cdu22's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live, we have a public university that does a RN to BSN program. I believe it's one night a week, lasts one year. The cost is probably around $10,000 for the entire

  5. Should I become an LPN or stay CNA?

    aleighc1 replied to kimmy436's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Where I live you have to do the same pre-requisit course work for an LPN and an RN. At my local community college, LPN is 4 quarters, RN is 6 qaurters. Here a CNA starts around $11-$12 an hour, LPN...

  6. Calling all maternity nurses!!!

    aleighc1 replied to Jay2daq's topic in General Nursing

    Don't have the answer to your question, but just wanted to say you might want to ask this on OB/GYN nurse specialty board.

    aleighc1 replied to theresanelson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have advice, as I've never been in that situation, but I just wanted to say good for you! That's awesome that you had the courage to leave a bad situation and create a better life for you and...

  9. Pregnant in Nursing School?

    aleighc1 replied to MarathonRunner1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First I would suggest you find out what your school policy is about missing class/clinical. Every pregnancy is different, even women who have more than one child can have pregnancies as different as...

  10. Everest College

    aleighc1 replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I personally think that before starting a nursing program, any nursing program, you should find out what potential employers think and what type of reputation that program has. There is a community...

  11. Need help, what classes should I take

    aleighc1 replied to kbm318's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have a nursing advisor you can talk to? They will be able to give you the best advice. Also, look at what the nursing schools in your area require. What about sociology or...

  12. Medical Terminology: To Take or Not to Take?

    aleighc1 replied to mrsb04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved my medical terminology class, it was so fun and I learned a lot. I certainly don't think it would be a waste of your time if you took it, even if you don't need

  13. where should i start

    aleighc1 replied to lyssagail's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, take the pre-req's first. (all the schools in my area won't even consider you for nursing if you don't have all the pre-req's completed when you apply) By the time you are finished with...

  14. My school's grading policy SUCKS!!!!

    aleighc1 replied to H-town's topic in General Students

    All the health sciences at my school (and all the surrounding schools) are graded the same way. They hold those going into the health care field to a higher standard; nothing wrong with

  15. Which Medical Dictionary?

    aleighc1 replied to SAHMStudent's topic in General Students

    I have the Mosby's and Tabers, and I love having them both. Sometimes one will explain better than the other. Tabers is smaller and more portable, Mosby's has more pictures. (nothing like a good...

  18. What would you do?

    aleighc1 replied to travisandjamie01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest you get an appointment with a nursing advisor. Only they can tell you what your chances are of getting in the program at your school with your math grade. You don't want to waste...

  19. Esthetician & LPN

    aleighc1 replied to Sher1981's topic in General Students

    You might have better luck asking on your state board, under the regional section here. Pay differes greatly between cities (as do job opportunities), so it's hard to say without more knowledge of...

  20. Preparing for Med School??? Working along the way

    aleighc1 replied to mdtcc's topic in General Students

    In my area the starting wage for phlebotomists is more than that for CNA's. It wouldn't give you the same experience a CNA might, but it would give you skills that will be useful to your future. In...

    aleighc1 replied to OldITgeek's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, I think in my state we have two years after our class to get certified, so I'm a year past that limit. I know of another class in my area that's only $650, and I can use the scrubs and other...

    aleighc1 replied to OldITgeek's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My community college class was $1,995! And that did not include scrubs, books, or any sort of extra anything. For my course it was: class $1,995 scrubs $100 transfer belt $25 books $100 tech fee $35...

  24. Supplies for CNA Class?

    aleighc1 replied to kalley's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know this thread was started a while ago, but I thought I'd chime in anyhow. I took my CNA class at my community college, and we had to buy transfer belts, name tags, and scrubs from our school....

  25. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

    aleighc1 replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Yes, the pre-req mountain can be tough to climb! It's great that you already have the stats class, that means you don't have any math pre-req's to complete. Try making an appointment with a nursing...
