  1. Help! CNA, LPN, RN, BSN.....?

    LilGumble posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel so overwhelmed trying to do research so I can plan out my mode of attack on education. I have my B.S. in Kinesiology and now want to switch over to nursing. I am currently on a wait list for an...

  2. Is it worth it to take an Acute CNA class?

    LilGumble posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello CNAs! I'm going to be starting a CNA course next week and I need some help gathering more information on if I should sign up for an Acute CNA class after. I applied to a BSN program but was put...

  3. Where are the CNA schools in the Bay Area?

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

    I'm in the middle of the class right now. (I should actually be in asleep now because I have to wake up at 5:30 to make it to the 7am "clinical" portion. =P) So far I have to say that I love the...

  4. Is it worth it to take an Acute CNA class?

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

    Thanks for all the feedback. I'm realizing that its probably better that I didn't get into the BSN program right away because I have so much to learn just about how the hospital operates in general. I...

  5. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    LilGumble replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    The only problem is that ADN programs near me are all impacted. At the community colleges they're wait listed for fall 2010 already and others are doing lottery. I'm hoping to go CNA --> BSN...

  6. Anyone Applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN April, May, June 2009?

    LilGumble replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just did a job search for CNAs and it doesnt seem like the job outlook is that bad.... From reading the CNA threads on here though I hear that you can get fired pretty easily when you're just...

  7. Anyone Applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN April, May, June 2009?

    LilGumble replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    StarBelly - No, I haven't asked if that's why for sure so it's just my guess. Oakland was my #1 pick, then SM and SF. I'm 29 on the waitlist. What about you? I just finished my microbio this week, so...

  8. Where are the CNA schools in the Bay Area?

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

    I thought for NCP you already had to have your CNA and they just did the Acute CNA cert? I found "the cornerstone college" CNA program through a google search... it's 19 days/$900 in Hayward. Has...

  9. Anyone Applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN April, May, June 2009?

    LilGumble replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm... I'm a little suspicious of the CNA course I was looking at then. I'm in Hayward and there's one offered for 19days and $900, but it doesn't include the test. Maybe I should look up a Red Cross...

  10. Anyone Applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN April, May, June 2009?

    LilGumble replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    StarBelly - Sorry to hear about that class. That's frustrating. I didn't get in but I'm on the waitlist...I have a great GPA and scored well on the NET but I'm WAY down on the list. From what others...

  11. Help! CNA, LPN, RN, BSN.....?

    LilGumble replied to LilGumble's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I guess it does all come down to the individual. A person's attitude can make a world of difference. I was just thinking that while I'm waiting to get into an accelerated BSN program I might as...

  12. Help! CNA, LPN, RN, BSN.....?

    LilGumble replied to LilGumble's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've also read some posts by CNAs/LVNs that resented RNs/BSNs that just came in without any prior experience and were put in charge over them. That got my attention because I'm 22 and I look really...

  13. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    LilGumble replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm currently on a wait list for an accelerated BSN program but I don't think I got in because alot of the people (From what I've found out on here =) who were accepted had previous experience. In the...

  14. Help! CNA, LPN, RN, BSN.....?

    LilGumble replied to LilGumble's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much, I did find a couple threads on there that were very helpful

  15. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    LilGumble replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    I know it's all so confusing weighing out all the options.... all the pros and cons... I have a question too though, LVN/LPN programs are rather impacted, at my local JC's there is already a wait list...

  16. Anyone Applying to Samuel Merritt ABSN April, May, June 2009?

    LilGumble replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oakland was my first choice, then SM & SF, but I will go wherever I get in. I'm confused because I have a 3.72 over all GPA (3.91 for the last 90 units) and 3.84 in the prereqs and I got a 90 on...

    LilGumble replied to sherin036's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my waitlist too.. but good luck! I'm 29!!! =( I'm so sad. I cried when I read it, but hopefully people will shift around a bit. I'm trying to remain hopeful as I still need to mail in my...
