  1. How Many Classes?

    x_factor replied to jennaroo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, it definitely depends on your circumstances. I don't have any children, so I have more time to spare for studying. My classmate that I do a lot of study sessions with has 2 little girls, so...

    x_factor replied to jennaroo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking 4 this semester, I'm taking 5 next

  3. How do i get hired as a cna with no experience?

    x_factor replied to loveandgames's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A very good resume goes a long way. I'm a CNA with no healthcare experience, and I wrote up a nice professional looking resume outlining clinical and classroom CNA skills I had learned in school, and...

  4. HELP! Failed nursing school after 1 yr, but still want to work as nurse technician

    x_factor replied to panjia's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I just got my first CNA job, I didn't work during my time in LPN school. I just transferred out after this past spring semester, and I start my RN pre-reqs in 2 weeks at my new school. I never worked...

  5. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

    x_factor replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Louisiana, I did a year in LPN school and transferred to do my pre-reqs for my RN. Math was very much a part of LPN school, and is very much a part of my pre-reqs for my RN. If you plan to be...

  6. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

    x_factor replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suggest a tutor, if nursing is what you want to do. You will run into algebra while pursuing your RN. A typical college algebra course is a standard pre-req at most

  7. How much does a CNA makes hourly?

    x_factor replied to vnssa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    $8.60 an hour, hospital in Louisiana. And that's for night shift. Day shift is only $7.97 an hour. A crying shame,

  8. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

    x_factor replied to JennMcK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the fact you have to take a very standard entrance exam is what stops you from pursuing nursing, maybe you should look deeper into how passionately you want to pursue this career. Once you begin...

  9. Last attempt

    x_factor replied to vlynn08's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would remove the objective, as I've heard it's outdated on resumes. Also, since your work experience isn't related to any health care field, I would bump your education and certification up before...

  10. HELP! Failed nursing school after 1 yr, but still want to work as nurse technician

    x_factor replied to panjia's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I would apply and just not use your instructors as a reference. However, if you put on your resume or application that you were in schoool as a student, and that's where you were CNA certified and...

  11. CNA before nursing school

    x_factor replied to marpow's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on where you work as a CNA. If you become a CNA and work at a nursing home, or a similar long term care facility, you will not gain much. Duties are basically tons of residents, with a...

  12. terrified i will never get into nursing school

    x_factor replied to melmobley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes the best thing to do, if you are not accepted to any of the programs because your low GPA, is to start over. Our BSN program here requires a minimum of a 2.8 GPA, but the average GPA of the...

  13. What classes are you taking?

    x_factor replied to haileyjewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For fall, I am taking: Algebra (online) English I Intro to Psych and my Art elective I wanted to take my humanities elective in the fall too to get it out the way, and I would've preferred to take my...

  14. C.N.A Interview.

    x_factor replied to JPickett's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just went through two CNA interviews last week, both for hospitals. One on a medsurg floor at a large hospital, the other on a rehab unit at a smaller hospital. The interviews were similar. I was...

  15. Starting college, pre nursing intended.

    x_factor replied to Meganm28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check the requirements of the colleges you are interested in. I am just starting (enrolled for Fall semester) pre-reqs for the RN program. It's going to take me 2 years to finish my pre-reqs. I am...

  18. CNA Resume - How's This Look?

    x_factor replied to x_factor's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The standard is typically around 2 pages from what I've seen on various resume websites, but opinions seem to vary greatly all over the web on what length a resume should be. It's hard to fit work...

  19. CNA Resume - How's This Look?

    x_factor replied to x_factor's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ouch, copy and paste killed my formatting. The open bullets are actually indented on my actual resume, everything isn't all clumped together as it appears here. I'd love to get feedback on how I have...

  20. Tell me about your first day of nursing school

    x_factor replied to ♑ Capricorn ♑'s topic in General Students

    I gotta tell you, 28 questions and almost all of them I couldn't answer even if it was last week. What'd I eat for lunch that day? I barely remember what I ate for lunch today. I remember our first...

  21. Grading scales

    x_factor replied to mttzakr87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    At my school: 94-100 = A 88-93 = B 80-87 = C Anything below 80 is failing, and there is no

  22. Dying to get into LPN school.

    x_factor replied to Julie19's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would just take the remedial course, plenty people in my LPN program had too. At my technical school, they required the compass test too. I passed everything except the math, and re-took the math...

  23. Pharmacology

    x_factor replied to Debra913's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm gonna be honest with you, that sounds like a very shady school if they do not offer a Pharmacology course. I'm going to a local technical school and we get a full course of Pharmacology and then...

  24. LPN program in a technical school?

    x_factor replied to Ridge AB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I go to a technical college for my LPN, and it is just as tough as a bigger college. I have a friend going for her BSN at a large university here, and my classes for my LPN are pretty on par with a...
