Izzy11, was it hard to even find a job in LTC? Do you feel that it was an advantage to have your BSN vs ADN to get a job in LTC? How long did it take to get a job after graduating? I am going to school and of course am in the same boat of worrying ab...
What kind of GPA do you need to get into the program? I am guessing that it is pretty competitive since they only accept 36 a year? Thanks to anyone with feedback!
Do they count anything like if you have healthcare experience (I am currently a CNA)? I have a GPA of 3.25 in sciences (3.4 overall in pre-requisites) and a 3.5 GPA of in my previous bachelor's degree.
Has anyone worked for BrightStar in the Denver, Colorado area? I have an interview coming up to work with them as a CNA and was wondering if there was any feedback.

QUESTION FOR BRIGHTEN: So with the camera did you photograph specimens you could see with the naked eye? Just curious. I brought a camera to A & P and it seemed to help with the anatomic models.

Has anyone graduated from this program or currently a student? How hard is it to get in? I live in Golden, Colorado, and would be willing to commute for part of the program and then rent for a year down in Colorado Springs.

Does anyone know about American Sentinal University nursing program? I saw that it was CCNE accredited. Is anyone out there going there or have graduated from there? Do most Denver area hospitals hire grad from there?

I just had my first day of class today. It only meets once a week on Saturdays and goes for 5 hours! The lecture was pretty basic this week. She really just read from her Power Point slides. We took swabs from around the building that we will look at...

How do you like being a CNA? I have been at a desk job for 13 years and I would love to get out of a cube. Was it easy to get a job right out of CNA school? Do you work in a hospital setting?

Yeah, the itunes is pretty cool. It isn't super detailed, but it gives a good overview. I have been listening to it when I am in the car. Have you started your class yet? I start next Saturday. I am curious if the instructor will have us start at cha...

Are you working in a health field career right now? I work full time as a graphic designer and I am thinking I need to work as a CNA for a while in order to get into nursing school. I volunteer at the hospital, but only once a week.
Just wondering, is there a difference between NLN and NLNAC accreditation? Thanks to all who have posted on this thread, it has been helpful to read through.
