Congrats to everyone! Excited for you all! Belli...you had asked which school was my current and it's Paris. I'm bummed hearing about the new deadline. That totally is going to knock me out for next year. I should have had 11 pts for next year w...

Just wanted to wish everyone luck this week! I'm applying in Jan. there and my current school. Anyone who has been in contact with the school know what the new application guideline will be in Sept.? I will have met all of their current guidelines ...

Thank you both! As it is now I am registered for Microcomputers for the extended session during summer, with pharm. summer 1, and arts summer 2. Microcomp. is a 4 hour class at my college, eventhough the school I am taking it for (choice 2 school it...

I have the following classes left.... Micro. English Arts Pharm. Microcomp. I am planning to do Micro. and English in the Fall. I have registered for Pharm., 1st summer semester, and Arts 2nd summer semester. Will it better to do my Microcomp. for ...

Glad everyone is hanging in there. Keep it up. I have about 6 weeks left. I'm doing AP2, Lifespan, and Socio. I have As so far. Not at all worried about Lifespan and Socio., have very high As but AP2 is riding the line about a 92 or 93. I think ...

I'm taking mine through an RN who runs a small school just for CNA. Around here, you can take them at places like the one I'm doing, you can take them at larger career schools (usually kind of expensive though), nursing facilities (LTC), or communit...

I am having an issue with AP2 and I'm afraid it will keep me from being a nurse. I am currently still in the A range with room (midterm average was a 94), had an A in AP1, and I will probably still finish with an A in 2 but I feel like I am not able...

Doodles mom...Much luck to you. I know we can get through it. I just hope I can with enough of this. I made a C for the first time, of any class, on my exam this week. Weird thing is, I am doing Urinary and have done all of my work for the week an...

Taking a CNA class, since summer and fall will be slow school wise for me, and have found out about two possible options for after. A good, fairly new hospital, in a great area has several options for direct patient/family care and support. The flo...

I am going to begin a 4 week CNA class later this month. I don't need it for income but I feel so ansty to get into health care. My program will not begin until summer '12, but I will be done with reqs by the end of Fall and carry a very light load...

Me too! The program at our school is LVN, then RN. I'll have my last co-req done in summer but since my last pre-req isn't done until the end of this semester, I couldn't apply for the current semester. I have to wait until Jan. I feel really goo...

uncp2011....How do you get a CNA II and what is the difference in tasks between II and basic? I'm about to start a program in a couple of weeks and hoping to get into a hospital for volunteer or a shift prior to nursing school next year. Would a CN...

I met with the CNA instructor today and I am encouraged. The date was delayed a couple of weeks but it seems like it will be a good program. I came in on the tail end of a session and got to sit through it before our meeting. I really like her and...

Thank you for your perspective. Honestly, that's not it at all. Anybody who knows us, knows we are not hoity toity and that my husband is not rich. He drives a 19 year old truck, most of my kids clothes come from Target. I would not consider ourse...

Yes, as I have said, I know that nursing is not immune to being disrespected. I know that will happen, when I am a nurse. Obviously as an adult, I have to deal with it occasionally already...people feeling like I have too many children, don't under...

Thank you for your perspective. I'm trying to keep an open mind and I really hope I get there, and love it, because I feel like there is potential for a job or volunteering there. I had the CNA instructor email me today and tell me, "hold off on yo...

Awesomeness! Congratulations!!

I was in an internet cafe today trying to study and a couple of nursing students, quite a bit younger than I, were chatting quite loudly about patho. There is no way I could help but hear them. They were so loud, I could not concentrate on my work....

I'd probably be filling in with a n/a. I mean so if you don't have a menses are they going to exclude you? Do they ask the guys when they went into puberty too? Seems kind of silly. Wondering if they are trying to figure out who is pregnant? Of ...

Thank you all for the perspective. I hope to have that kind of confidence some day. It is just beyond me that I could ever know that was going on in that conversation about 1 disease. She basically spent a good 40 minutes in rapid fire about 1 dis...

I am having a particularly hard time getting all the concepts for Immunity in my AP2 class. I have done all the work and chapter quiz but not tested over it yet. I am wondering what related to immunity you are seeing in nursing school? I am trying...

coast2coast- I replied to you right after you did to me but for some reason it didn't post. I wanted to thank you for all of your information. It helped a great deal. I had my exam and did awesome on the lymphatic system portion and OK (better tha...

I have done exactly what you are talking about. I have gotten pregnant, a little earlier than what I expected because it could curb symptoms and because I was wasn't sure how long it would take considering an unresolved (after a couple months BC) cy...

Would love to hear what kind of apps. you all are going in with (points etc.) and if you get in. I know of a family member of a friend who applied and got in last fall but she is telling me that it was really tight. I was told by my friend that she...

For those who don't feel like it is over whelming, how much time are spending in class/clinical a week and how much time are you spending doing homework/studying?
