    Is the LPN program the same as the first year ADN?

    Who told you the LPN program was easier? I've never heard that! The LPN programs in my area go M-F 7:30am-3pm and clinicals can take place on the weekends, If you miss more than, I think it's 5 days...

    Best option for me LPN or RN

    Yes you can work as a CNA and go to school as an RN, you could work weekend or night shifts. Pell grants won't cover technical schools if that's a concern for you. RN programs are usually more...

    I'm not in an LPN program, but I've known people who have gone through the LPN and RN programs. Hands down, the LPN program seems to be a lot more difficult than the RN program. I don't think it's...

    The two community colleges in my area don't have waitlists, you simply apply and if you're rejected then you apply again for the next semester, but they're very competitive. At the one, getting into...

    Suggestions on an easier humanities class?

    I took art appreciation online. It was ridiculously easy. Don't worry about what class would be interesting, worry about getting the best or easiest teacher. My art appreciation teacher only had us...
  8. A&P2 and Statistics. I got C's in both classes, which I consider to be an unacceptible grade. I hate math and never knew what statistics was about but I knew I had to take it. I took it as a...

    GOD IS GOOD !!!!!!

    God's will moves me. When I had first applied for nursing programs, my GPA was so low, I thought I would never get in. I prayed to God that I would get into a nursing program. I know that that sounds...

  13. ADHD meds seem to work for people when antidepressants don't, at least in a few cases I've seen. A close friend has severe depression and usually pulls herself out of it with a combination of her...

    What is your back up plan, what should I do?

    My back up plan was to get a quicky degree in criminology and become a special education teacher through the unconventional testing route. I've had experience working with special needs children, so...
  16. I did it during the Spring semester. I got a B in Micro and a C in A&P2. If I would have focused on only one at a time, I probably would have recieved better
  17. I've worked with a home health agency as a CNA for a year and 2 months before going to school and then working as a private duty CNA. Since my patient moved away, I need to find another job and I've...
  18. Thanks for correcting me! I knew that PCT's did more, like check blood sugars, but I didn't think there were drastic differences. The jobs I applied to required a CNA license, so I assumed that PCT or...

    community college nursing programs

    I am awful at simply memorizing things. I got a B in A&P1 and a C in A&P2. I am a notorious procrastinator. If I had to do it all over again, I would have set aside an hour each day to study...

    This is really excellent. I think I might steal your template. And yes, include previous experience and tailor it to a medical setting. Honestly, most of my jobs never asked for a resume, and when I...
