  3. What is Nursing school really like?

    If you are really worried this might happen, then why not get a job as a CNA now or over the summer? In the nursing program I attend, that is a prerequisite anyway. What a great way to sort of get your feet wet and also get the answer to the above pr...
  4. Interview Questions When Entering Nursing School

    I am in my second semester of the RN program at JCCC. I interviewed for both the LPN and RN programs. There was only one interviewer for the RN program, but there were three people in the room for my LPN interview. I don't know if I would have been a...
  5. What are your nursing school uniform colors?

    Burgundy pants and tops, I think they are comfortable and nice looking. I got Landau brand but there is another kind that's allowed. Black or white shoes, no extra openings. I'm looking for a pair of naturalizers before I start next week. I'm at JCCC...
  6. What are your other degrees in?

    I have a BA in Economics from FSU, but I received it over 10 years ago. Then I worked for a few years, and had some children...now my youngest is 4 years old and started preschool yesterday. I start my RN program on Monday.
  7. Nutrition

    I just finished taking nutrition and it was a killer class. I barely scraped an A and I have a 4.0. I was sure this was going to be the class that would bring me down! There wasn't a horrible amount of math but there was a LOT to memorize about metab...
  8. JCCC RN program

    Congratulations! Did you go to the "mandatory" thing today at the Carlsen Center about the study JCCC is participating in this fall? /yawn... But it will be nice to have all our ATI fees paid for the whole program! From listening to questions today,...
  9. Pre nursing student needs advice

    Getting licensed as a CNA was actually a prerequisite of applying to the nursing program I'm starting in August. The community college I attend has CNA courses and I believe they cost about a third of what you were quoted. Check into your local commu...
  10. RN or EL-MSN programs near Olathe?

    I have a BA (in another field) and I've been accepted to the RN program at JCCC for Fall 2011. I'm not eligible for Pell grants because I completed my BA but I am eligible for Stafford loans if I want to take them- I think you can get $9500 a year. I...
  11. CNA class at Kansas College of Nursing?

    I also got my CNA through Kansas College of Nursing and had a great experience. It was awesome to get it done in a month or so instead of dragging it out for a whole semester, and the actual education was top notch.

    I got my acceptance packet today!!! It was sent by certified mail so I had to sign for it...woohooooooo!
  13. Patient Care Tech's out there?How do I get your job?

    There are other ways to get a CNA besides going through JCCC. I am a student at JCCC but I took the CNA course through Kansas College of Nursing in Olathe. It was 5 weeks, Monday through Thursday 7am-2pm. Let me see if I can find a web link... http:/...
  14. JCCC RN program

    I had my interview at JCCC and it was so nerve-wracking! The interview is scheduled for a 20 minute slot, and the interviewer had a dozen (or maybe it was ten?) questions to ask. She started off by introducing herself and then saying "I have x number...
  15. JCCC RN program

    Edewalt- My JCCC GPA is 4.0 (after about 30 hours) and my career GPA is right around 3.5. I have a BA from Florida State, but it's not in a science field so I've spent the past year or so taking prerequisites at JCCC. All told I have about 150 credit...
