First week of Nursing School
We've got this guys! I finished my first four day week this morning. We have lecture Mondays, Nutrition and Lab Tuesdays and Clinicals Wednesday and Thursday. It's overwhelming but SO exciting too!!

Death at Clinical
I work as a CNA in a nursing home and was in the room for one death so far. It is sad, in my case the resident was in a lot of pain so it was pretty much a blessing. I'm sure we will see a lot of death throughout our careers!

I got in!
It really does!

I got in!
Thanks again everyone! It is a smaller community college, so that has something to do with the smaller number as well. But I'm still thrilled I made it!

I got in!
This is the first semester of their new BSN program so they are starting small. Normal number accepted per semester is 26. But yes, pretty competitive this semester! Thanks!

I got in!
This will be the first semester of a new program which offers a bachelors degree. They only accepted 16 students!

I will turn in a application to start the program in the fall as soon as I go back for spring semester on January 13. Then I have wait for February or March to hear back....

Entry level hospital jobs???
You can definitely still take the CNA class. I didn't take it right away. I just had my second interview at a large local hospital last Friday as a patient care assistant. Hoping to get good news tomorrow that I have the job! I have been working as a CNA at a nursing home for 10 months, my hospital interviewer did say she liked that I had experience. Good luck!
- What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

Hospital CNA Screening Interview
I agree that you will drive yourself crazy worrying about what you *could* have said. If it's meant to be it will be! I had a hospital interview today too! Mine was at a 489 bed hospital in the med unit. I only interviewed with a recruiter though. Regarding getting an interview, I applied online several times but never heard back until I decided to write a cover letter and made sure to use the key words employers like to see, ie: energetic, motivated, hard-working, etc... Good luck! Hope you get the job!!

Who else is waiting for Fall 2014 acceptance?
Applications open for us on December 3rd for next Fall start. So far I have a 4.0 GPA, and I scored 86% on the TEAS. So I'm hoping I can get in to the small group of just 16. Our school is starting a new program that allows us to obtain our BSN on our campus, so they are starting small and building as they get things rolling in following semesters. Wish me luck!! Only a week and a half until I can apply!

Entrance Exam done, Applying next month!
It's a rural community college but yes, small group for sure!! Normally they had been accepting 26 per semester, so it's cut by 10 for the first few semesters of this new curriculum.
