  4. CNA Question

    You have NO idea what a nurse does until you have walked in our shoes! CNA's are not NURSES....they are important to the health care team, but they have no where near the responsiblity or education that nurses have. When you have been through schoo...
  5. CNA Question

    NO! A CNA is not a nurse. They are an essential part of the health care team. CNA's report to LPN's and RN's and only do what is delegated to them. They cannot assess the patient, give meds, or do teaching with the patients. The CNA's that I wor...
  6. Cna 1st or go straight to lvn/rn

    I had no experience in the health care field when I started my nursing program. In the program I went through, we caught up as far as learning what the CNA's knew within the first six weeks of the program. I believe starting as a CNA or going right...

  15. Anyone think Kaplan harder than NCLEX?

    Heck yeah! I thought Kaplan questions were very hard! I have been doing questions on the Q bank from Kaplan and those questions are even harder than on the Kaplan CD. I took my NCLEX exam today....my computer shut off at 75. I had a variety of qu...

  22. I am getting very upset! I only have 7 weeks to go until graduation and I am just fed up with my nursing school. For the past 2 years we have not been able to review our tests after we take them because the class before mine had issues with cheating...
  23. Don't cry. I was admitted into nursing school with a 3.2. I believe the most important thing is retaining what you have learned from the classes that you have already taken. As my fellow nursing students and I have said.....in twenty years no one i...

    I have heard that the Kaplan prep test is a good way to go to review for NCLEX. Is this true?? The employer I am hoping to hire on with once I have passed my boards will reimburse the $300 expense. Any thoughts???? I have also purchased a Saunders...
