I just got accepted to Saint Francis and If there are any current students on the forum, I would love to hear how the current students like the program. I went to the open house and it was awesome. The sim lab was awesome and not to mention doing c...

It could be very difficult to fulfill a full-time position in both areas, but I think it wouldn't be too bad if one was to work as a CRNA full-time and as an ACNP a few shifts a month in an ER setting. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hypothetically, can one hold a crna license and a Pa license simultaneously? Is that possible or even allowed? I know they are two different model, but can one work as a Crna as a full-time job and as a Pa in say cardiology, part-time a few shifts ...

Thanks for your reply.

Interesting; thats somewhat akin to my query, however, Np and an Er nurse are under the same nursing model. I'm curious if it is possible to hold a license in a nursing and medical model simultaneously?

You should be fine. As long as your trainer is good at the job. Its really about how good you manage your time. Its a med surgical floor so you're gonna see almost every kind of patient include the additional ortho patients.

Well to be quite honest, there are only nuances from floor to floor in respect to CNA work in the hospital. On a cardiovascular floor, the CNA might do EKGs, in the ER, they might draw blood and do urinalysis, on a surgery floor you work with CMP ma...

Am sorry, not to be crass, but is this a real thread?

I don't remember taking chemistry in high school. I just took it two semesters ago and loved it. My teacher was extremely picky but she curved a lot. I ended up with an A in the class. As mentioned above, use all the resources available to you in...

I'll be starting nursing school in the spring. However in the fall I'm gonna be taking world geography to fulfill a global study requirement class.

It will be over before you know it.

This semester I took philosophy, sociology f&m and business. Pulled an A in all of them! thank God. For the fall only gotta take one class (World Geography) and it off to nursing school after that. I really can't wait.

Its definitely not a glamorous job, thats for sure.

Why can't you maintain it? Nursing school is hard work but being optimistic is a good attribute. I know people who maintain a 4.0 and (God willing) I intend to be one them.

Welcome to the site. You are in the right place for great advice in quest to become a NP.

Being a CNA is a very demanding job, physically and mentally. However, there is never an excuse to treat patients like ****. I'm a CNA and I can't wait to start nursing school, for several reasons one of being because I'm burnt out as a CNA. I've s...

I was in the same situation at one point, and what I did was a combination of both. I took classes I failed and some nursing pre-regs as well. Repeating the classes you failed will build your GPA back up faster than classes you haven't taken before...

Crazy is relative, you just held on to a 4.0 so I think you're good with that schedule.

I loved nutrition and it was extremely easy for me because I am a avid bodybuilder. Most of the information was second nature for me before I started the class. One of the easiest pre regs for sure.

3.5 overall, but 3.9 nursing pre regs.

Although leaning more towards CRNA, being a PA still appeals to because of the medical model. I don't mind the nursing model but I don't like the nursing fluff classes that are required. I love science and fascinated with the way the body functions...

I have started Nurs 310 and want to test out. Any suggestions for studying?

One more question...Does the quiz cover the whole book or just the chapters located on the syllabus or should I do all 30 quizzes in the javis book?

Don't feel like a failure, you just have to find a better method of studying or figure out and fix whats preventing you from getting better grades.

I don't have the lab book Should I go get it or just use the quizzes from the Jarvis book?
