I know that there are some old threads about Job Corps and I've read info. on their website and what-not. I was just wondering if some one could give me any specific information on how it works? I've heard that it can take up to two years to complet...

One year doesn't actually sound too bad. I've been trying to find information on here because something about it makes me feel iffy, but then again, I don't trust anyone lol Did you do the LVN program at Job Corps, or know someone who did? P.s thank...

A recent post has got me thinking: What's the craziest thing you've ever seen/come across from a nursing student/coworker? :smackingf

No, I’m not yet a nurse. I like learning and I like knowing history. I like learning from my mistakes as well as others mistakes, which was why I posted this. I feel I’m a bit eager and want to start learning already on what I should do/what I shoul...

Okay, let me start off by stating that with this post, I am NOT trying to insult anyone, I am just wondering... Have you ever questioned how anyone got into a nursing program? How they passed their classes? How they passed the NCLEX? I'm asking becau...

Well, I'm not a nurse yet...so this will probably be off topic as it's not related to nursing but I'll go ahead and make fun of myself lol My brother was once talking to me and he randomly said/joked that watermelons grow on trees. Being sleep depriv...

With all honesty, I didn't start this to humiliate or embarrass anyone. I've always been fortunate enough to have wonderful nurses take care of me. And a recent post got me wondering whether or not some nurses mess up or do anything not "normal." Sor...

I totally agree with some of your guys' posts! Grades/scores don't always mean or show how "smart" someone is. xtxrn: I've enjoyed reading your responses! Thank you :-) To everyone else, a thank you as well :)

:smackingf There really aren't enough smilies to express what I felt when I read this.

Okay, I know I'm asking a lot of questions lol but I have to know if I even have a chance Has anyone here recently applied to the El Camino College nursing program? If so, what was your GPA/scores? Any tips on how I could get it? I still have some t...

I still have a long way to go. I'll barely be starting my science classes this upcoming Fall (which starts next week!), and I feel really overwhelmed, but I know that this is what I want to do. I may finish some time in 2015 or later :/ Yay! You're ...

Well, that's true, but I think with nursing, you kind of have to prove yourself (like taking TEAS, NCLEX, etc). It felt to me like this person was just sliding by.... Hopefully no one will ever say that about me either. lol

Well, I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm doing my best to complete my requirements to get into a nursing program. If you're already a nurse, how do you deal/work with someone like that? :smackingf

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling nervous! Good luck to you as well! I hope you get in to the other school, so that way you have more options!

lol. I've thought about joining Job Corps for their LVN program out here in CA. I haven't heard/read too many great things about the people/staff, but the school's LVN passing rate, I'd say, is pretty decent. I have yet to make life-altering decision...

So...I've been at a JC for almost three years. Not because I'm dumb or anything, but because I never really knew which career to go with. I've chose nursing and the JC I've attended has a nursing program. The school supposedly has no waiting list,...

Oh yes! This is another factor that's driving me crazy! I do receive Pell Grants. My school has this thing, I don't know if other schools do too, but after 90 attempted units we are put on lock list. Once on lock list we're only allowed to take cours...

If everything were easy, then we wouldn't be in such dilemmas! lol I keep making time-lines to see how long everything will take me, and now I don't know what to do! If I get accepted into other schools I might try to just go for Social Work due to...

Okay, so I'm planning to become a CNA...I live in Southern California (LA), and I was wondering if anyone could give me some sort of information as to how exactly I can start networking and looking for places in which to work. I've heard of LTC/hospi...

Yay for future nurses! Good luck, I wish you the best!

WOW! When was it time for you to breathe?! lol I've been admitted to hospitals before, but I don't think I ever quite appreciated the nurses/aides/respiratory therapists as much as now that I know what they go through. (I mean I was never rude to an...

Hi Brian! Thank you for your response I have some time before classes start and I want to get a feel of what I'm going to be doing. From what I've read on here, many people feel unappreciated and overworked. Is this the way it is with everyone? Would...

Yes, I've read that being a CNA will look great on a resume, and money is tight therefore, I figured it wouldn't hurt to get my foot in the door. I've even started researching places where I can apply too lol, a little early, but at least I feel that...

Thank you! That sounds very interesting. I am interested in becoming a CNA to work my way up to a RN, but from what I've heard, CNA's don't make too much money. Have you started the LVN program?

Do you know if you can go to a community college and Job Corps at the same time?
