   For the most part, you WILL be done by 3pm on most days. I'm pretty sure 1st semester you will be out earlier than 3 on clinical days....maybe 1:30 or 2 pm if I remember correctly. And if you have...

   I really think this is VERY INACCURATE. Please don't go by this....the ladies in the nursing office really don't know much. They are just the secretaries. You will never get out of clinical at 12pm...

    "You can't sit for the CNA test, but they do test you in the program." Yes, you CAN sit for the C.N.A. exam once you finish 140. I did, and worked as a C.N.A. until I became an L.P.N. after 2nd...
