  1. PCA vs CNA

    barnettdcm replied to Cryssi's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    In my state, the requirement to even get a PCA/PCT job is to either have your CNA license, have already worked as a PCA/PCT in the past however many months, or have completed the first semester of...

  2. Prospective Schools

    barnettdcm replied to nevergivingup83's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the Maryville info! I talked to an advisor last spring (2011!) and he said since I didn't have 20 credits at Maryville it would be highly unlikely that I could get in. Very frustrating. So,...

  3. Anyone here had any trouble finding a job after graduating from Chamberlain?

    barnettdcm replied to Kuniklo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks MeatballExperience, your input helped a lot! I've been put off by the cost of Chamberlain because I have a family but I feel like i'll just be waisting more time getting the RN now and later...

  4. Prospective Schools

    barnettdcm replied to nevergivingup83's topic in General Nursing

    I have not attended Maryville but I really want to get into their Weekend & Evening BSN program. Which semester did you apply for? I talked with an advisor in the past who told me since i'm a...

  5. Anyone here had any trouble finding a job after graduating from Chamberlain?

    barnettdcm replied to Kuniklo's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone else have input for Chamberlain? I'm at St. Charles Community College finishing prereqs- I have almost all of them done except Chemistry because I put that off for so long :) So I have...

  6. Fake Nurses

    barnettdcm replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say that it is equal, I said maybe she was trying to explain to her child what she does and was telling him she helps take care of patients, like nurses do. I'm not okay with adults lying...

  7. Fake Nurses

    barnettdcm replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    Is it really that big of a deal that a 7 year old thought his Mom was a nurse when she's a nurse assistant? Seriously? Maybe his Mom explained that she was like a nurse? That she helps the nurses?...

  8. Mo Bap

    barnettdcm replied to angielynn1972's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the job! I would love a PCA/PCT position but no one will even call me for an interview since I don't have my CNA. Are you a CNA? Or will they train

  9. Unit Secretary at Cardinal Glennon?

    barnettdcm posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a prenursing student, hoping to start next fall (if i'm lucky) or atleast by fall 2013. Ive been job searching lately and cannot get an interview for a PCT position since I don't have my CNA. I...

  10. Male nurse in L&D

    barnettdcm replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse yet, just a student but I wanted to comment on this. I have a male OB and i've had female OBs in the past, totally prefer the male! If I would've had a male RN for any of my 3...

  11. Applying for UMSL's 2010 accelerated BSN program

    barnettdcm replied to Libra_8's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I have to correct my previous post. The point system is for the traditional and the part time program. The accelerated has a higher GPA requirement(3.2 minimum I think) and they won't consider...

  12. Applying for UMSL's 2010 accelerated BSN program

    barnettdcm replied to Libra_8's topic in General Nursing

    They give twice as many points for your science GPA than for your other GPA so if you have more science classes to take, finish them before applying. The advisor I talked to (Jill) said she recommends...

  13. Lutheran School of Nursing

    barnettdcm replied to ANEWME's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to apply for Fall 2012. Seems like a really good program. How difficult is it to get in to? I had a terrible first year of college (in 03) and have hardly any shot getting into a BSN program...

  14. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    barnettdcm replied to ScccNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your quick reply! I've been going back and forth between UMSL and Maryville and ideally I want to stick with UMSL since i've taken just about all of my prereqs there and I know that...

  15. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    barnettdcm replied to ScccNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I just have a question for all of the SCCC Nursing students. What were the requirements to be put on the waitlist? I know at STLCC you have to have Chemistry, Biology done before you can apply and be...

  16. Maryville nursing program

    barnettdcm replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    So, I just talked to the advisor a couple days ago. He said they do give priority to people with previous Maryville credits- atleast 20 credit hours, minimum. I'm not sure why he told me differently...

  17. Maryville nursing program

    barnettdcm replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    Is it where they give credit for prior life experiences? I haven't really heard how that program

  18. Maryville nursing program

    barnettdcm replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    I have thought about staying at St. Charles Community College but if possible i'd rather just go ahead and get my BSN now since I have all of my gen eds done and since my kids are really little,...

  19. Maryville nursing program

    barnettdcm replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone attended Maryville's Weekend/Evening Nursing program? I'm currently at SCC finishing my prereqs, i've completed just about every gen. ed and science course needed (was at UMSL previously)...

  20. sanford brown

    barnettdcm replied to amyrm's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Sanford Brown has several locations. I know the one in St. Peters, MO has a BSN program now and the cost is actually comparable to UMSL, Maryville and BJCON, if not less than a couple of those...

  21. sanford brown

    barnettdcm replied to amyrm's topic in Illinois Nursing

    It's nice to see some positive comments about Sanford Brown. I'm considering their BSN program. I'm a mom of 3 little ones, ages 7 months-4 years and can't afford tuition and daycare for a regular day...
