    chicagoing replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Pre-nursing students: What is your course/credit load?

    chicagoing replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Was the Nursing program your first choice?

    chicagoing replied to can'tdecide's topic in General Students

  11. CNA orientation questions & some others

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

    Thanks Kitsey and patrobinson. I was just thinking (irrationally) that a new CNA would be let loose the first day and be expected to be doing the work (at a quick pace). The skills themselves I could...

  12. How difficult are the State Exams?

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

    I completed my CNA class at a community college. Our state exam was proctored 2 months after the completion of our class. The questions were multiple choice - pretty much common sense. Our exam did...

  18. What is the cost of Nursing school?

    chicagoing replied to can'tdecide's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
