Aspirational Beauty CNA, LPN

I have to disagree with this. I don't find it ridiculous at all. The person with the prior CNA experience would probably be preferred because they have this experience in the health field already versus a new grad with no experience in the health fie...

Thanks for the book list noel877! and thanks for the advice KingWCC! Hope to see you in orientation! I just hope orientation is sometime in July. I have a planned vacation from August 10-15. I really want to be at orientation.

I got a 75.3 on the TEAS and my GPA was a 3.7 at the time. That's good that you are choosing to do the physical classes. That was my plan too but it didn't fit into my class schedule as far as credits so I just took the two credit class instead. I am...

And to get the fitness/health thing out the way if you want you can take Health and Fitness for Life which satisfies both requirements.

Thanks! I was so surprised when they called me! Can't wait for orientation! How did yours go?

I have taken everything except Microbiology,Pharmacology and Dosage. I will be taking Micro,Dosage,Med terminology, and a history class in the fall. You definitely will need a math if you continue on for your BSN as well as Chemistry. Some schools sa...

Mother of 1. LPN. WCC,NY. Start: September 2013 End: May 2014. TEAS score was too low for RN program(75.3). This was one of my alternative plans. Excited and nervous.

I think maybe you should go for the LPN. But also look to other schools and their Wait list for their RN program. I live in NY,didn't get into the RN but was accepted to the LPN. I am choosing this route because it cost less for me and it gets my foo...

Trust me with the score you had mentioned you got in! Don't worry. I wasn't accepted into any of the RN programs but my student center now says Practical Nursing and my advisor was changed. Just keep checking. Thanks to this thread I decided to check...

I took the TEAS but have made alternate plans because of my score(75.3) I scored higher in the science than i did on the practice but my last score was alot lower than I expected. I was probably getting tired. Thanks noel dor posting the new info, I ...

I was wondering about challenging the CNA exam at WCC. I am applying for the Fall 2013 program. How far into the program were you able to challenge the CNA exam? I was going to do the CNA program in the summer but if I can challenge the exam that wou...

I am doing my prereqs now maintaing A's and B's. I knew before I started theses prereqs that the money wouldn't be bookoo dollars. I am doing this because helping people is my passion and I love science and medicine. Unfortunately I get assistance an...

Checking in. I will be taking it in the spring.

This sounds like a really tough decision. You are young still. I would say have another child if that is what you would like to do. You do still have time to go to school. This is one option. I am 27 single mom of one and work part time going to scho...

This made me tear up! This is exactly why I want to be a nurse! Thank you so much for posting this!

Can you elaborate on how you were able to find clinicals and how they were approved. Thanks :)

With CNR there is the Metro North and bus. The bus that stops near the school runs pretty frequently. Also Concordia has a bus which passes right in front. I take that bus but to WCC which is further in Valhalla.

I will be taking A&P1,intro to sociology,comp and lit 2, and sports and health for life. I hope i can dedicate as much studying as I did last semester. With my lil one in daycare it was easy for me to study. By the time I picked her up she was re...

this a link to the program and prereqs and at the bottom is the semester plan. I hope to get into the 2013 program. HTH http://catalog.sunywcc.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=19&poid=1216&returnto=1579

Bumping this for you. I want to do something similar except I will be leaving NY. Hope someone chimes in for you.

I am currently going to WCC and hope to get into to their ADN program for 2013. does anyone know if I can attain or test to become a CNA while in the RN program? I know the LPN program says after one semester you can become a CNA but nothing about th...

Thanks for the replies. WCC offers CNA but only in Ossining. That is quite far, but I am thinking about it. I just didn't know how that would work with financial aid already being a student in Valhalla taking other classes.

I guess no one has any info on this???
