1. St. Luke's SON Spring 2012 anyone?

   OlatheJessica replied to OlatheJessica's topic in General Nursing

   Which section did you pick? I registered for the plan B and have my clinical day as Friday (which is what I wanted and why I was logged in at 7am this morning). Glad you got your first

2. St. Luke's SON Spring 2012 anyone?

   OlatheJessica replied to OlatheJessica's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure what their ranking schedule is but they have a 3.6 GPA average I think. I had a 3.79 GPA and a 4.0 Science GPA but the positive at St. Luke's is that they allow you to replace credits if...

3. St. Luke's SON Spring 2012 anyone?

   Anyone else starting? Two months left until nursing school

4. Anyone had to fill out Nursing CAS when doing Apps?

   OlatheJessica replied to ChristineN's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I'm glad to know I'm not alone in hating Nursing CAS... I retook a bunch of classes after failing about seven years ago (all with A's now). My college EXEMPTED the prior classes and zeroed them out...

5. Edukan or Iowa Community Colleges online for science pre-req's?

   OlatheJessica replied to Holdsteady11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I don't think it matters very much, I guess it might matter if one CC makes you take say A&P for Micro pre-req and another doesn't, but I used Pratt and haven't had any

6. Edukan or Iowa Community Colleges online for science pre-req's?

   OlatheJessica replied to Holdsteady11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I didn't check about transferability because you do the course itself through a community college (Pratt CC was who I used) and I've had no problems, all mine so far transferred to my school, JCCC...

7. A&P I and II at the same time

   OlatheJessica replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Have you tried using edukan? You can take an accelerated A&P I and an accelerated A&P II back to back and get them done within a semester? I've taken (and am still taking II) both accelerated...

8. Edukan or Iowa Community Colleges online for science pre-req's?

   OlatheJessica replied to Holdsteady11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I don't really know about Iowa CC, but I've done a number of Edukan classes, as well as A&P I and A&P II with labs and I've really liked them both. They're usually on the fast side, but I...

9. CNA class at Kansas College of Nursing?

   OlatheJessica replied to KSRN2b's topic in General Nursing

   Our clinicals were at a LTC in Shawnee, so it wasn't a huge drive difference, and the clinicals were in the morning either at 6:45am or starting at 2pm. You don't need to wear your scrubs to the...

10. A Nurse CAN be both sexy & smart

    OlatheJessica replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    There was a student in one of my classes who had the need to show her ta-ta's every day of class in those plunging necklines... I looked forward to clinicals to not have to see them (I'm a girl, I...

11. Is it true: required to be CNA before LPN or RN?

    OlatheJessica replied to MySonIsAdorable's topic in General Nursing

    I'm willing to bet your friend is referring to requirements from a specific nursing program. I know that a lot of the community colleges require a CNA certificate prior to enrolling in the LPN/RN...

12. CNA class at Kansas College of Nursing?

    OlatheJessica replied to KSRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just finishing up my CNA course at Kansas College of Nursing (in part because of the reviews on this thread) and I've LOVED it. I really feel that the instructor wants us to be not only competent...

13. JoCo CNA jobs, Hospital or LTC?

    OlatheJessica replied to OlatheJessica's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies everyone, I'm almost done with my CNA class now (which I've loved) and I'm waiting until after I take the exam to start applying, as it seems that no one wants to talk to...

14. JoCo CNA jobs, Hospital or LTC?

    OlatheJessica posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting a CNA class next week and I'm a little ahead of myself but I'm thinking about jobs after the fact. I'd really prefer to work nights (I'm a night owl, is this an option?) and I'm trying to...

15. Student Loans: When is too much?

    OlatheJessica posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I'm applying to nursing schools, hopefully to start Fall 2011 or Spring 2012. Here's the thing, I am approx a 3.2 GPA and I've done very well on my ACT's, I have excellent references and my GPA...
