Does anybody know any nursing programs in Maine that go by your nursing GPA and not cumulative GPA?

What's CEIN?

Does anybody know of any nursing schools that only use your nursing GPA & not your overall GPA when considering acceptance? The community colleges in Connecticut do but does anybody know of other schools? I'm looking for an ADN or BSN program.

Hello everyone! I am taking the CNA Exam in about 3 weeks & I'm relying on my training from nursing school. I did want to purchase a CNA book in order to "refine" my skills. Does anybody know of a CNA Book that they would recommend???

I was just looking at the "Prometric" website, which is the website that connecticut uses to administer the CNA exam. Apparently there are different ways to satisfy the training requirements to be a C.N.A. According to the CT - CNA Handbook: "Route 2—Nurse or Student Nurse Select this route if you have successfully completed a course, or courses, of no less than 100 hours of theory and clinical instruction in an approved practical nursing or registered nursing program within the past 24 months. Reminder. You will need to submit a copy of your nursing school transcript or current LPN/RN license with your application." I have successfully completed Nursing 101 & Nursing 102 & Pharmacology 221. Nursing 101: 5 hours of theory per week x 16 weeks = 80 hours Nursing 101: 14 hours of lab/clinical per week x 13 weeks = 182 hours Nursing 102: 5 hours of theory per week x 16 weeks = 80 hours Nursing 102: 14 hours of lab/clinical per week x 13 weeks = 182 hours Total Hours: 524 Hours These are estimates but I would say that they are very accurate. Does anyone out there have experience with proceeding down this route to become a CNA??? If so, please let me know about your experience doing this. I'm very interested. Ryan

When did you begin the ADN program? Do you plan on working as a student nurse this summer??? Have you applied for the position yet?

Thank you for your reply. Did you complete a B.S.N. program>??

I just did various jobs like working at the front desk of a hotel, worked at starbucks.

Hello everyone. I am a 28 year old male nursing student at Capital Community College in Hartford, CT. I'm going to graduate next May (2013). I currently live at home & do NOT work but I would like to work during the Summer time in order to save money. I was considering becoming a CNA. I understand that I can't just take the exam & that you need to be present for x amount of classroom & clinical hours. Is a PCA the same thing? How do you become a PCA? Which one is better? I am sure that I would breeze through a CNA course. Should I just stick it out & attend the classes / clinicals??? Does anybody have any advice or has encountered a similar circumstance???

Was just accepted to Capital Community College....3.55gpa.......88.8% on TEAS......& A in Anatomy & Physiology I If anybody has any questions about anything regarding the nursing program at capital.....I would be happy to answer them. I am very knowledgeable on the CT Community College Nursing Programs.
