    KB24 replied to tierra399's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    KB24 replied to kraam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A 2.5 GPA? You are going to have to retake some of these classes and get an A because you really need a high overall GPA and science GPA to compete with the other students. Your GE GPA should be...

  6. Is CNA the right Move???

    KB24 replied to judy1218's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not a good idea to get your CNA now, if you start nursing school in the fall. A lot of places hire nurse students after their first semester in nursing school. Good luck in nursing school.

  7. GPA DILEMMA

    KB24 replied to ST MeLa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your best chance of getting into a good nursing program would be to retake your pre-requisites again and try your best to get an A in all the classes. Even LPN and RN programs at a community college...

  13. West Suburban College of Nursing vs. Chamberlain College of Nursing?

    KB24 replied to digitiminimi's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Pretty easy choice if I was in your shoes. WSCN has a better reputation and is a better school. I'd pick WSCN over Chamberlain because it seems like they care more about getting paid than actually...

  14. CNA license?

    KB24 replied to Marissa2619's topic in General Nursing

    You get a certificate not a license. I live in Illinois and you get an envelop after you passed the state exam. You get a certificate/diploma from the state and a piece of paper saying you passed the...

  15. Robert Morris (Chicago) Nursing

    KB24 replied to vladak86's topic in Illinois Nursing

  20. If you love your CNA classes,,will I probably love being a real cna?

    KB24 replied to northmississippi's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nurses also change diapers and do some of the same things CNA's do. Nurses wouldn't be able to get their job without the help from CNA's. You should start appreciating CNA's because CNA's won't work...

  25. LPN vs. Medical Assistant

    KB24 replied to mountaindewqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Get your LPN or RN. Don't waste your time enrolling to any MA programs because most of them cost the same as a LPN program. MA's are having a harder time getting a job than
