  1. The road to becoming a CRNA?

    2mint replied to sadeesmith's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Frankly, yes. You may give it a try. (***less than 30% got it right. I did not get it right on my first

  2. Is it worth it to become a CNA on my road to becoming a nurse?

    2mint replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello female Ken. Are you even allowed to work below your license? **just received my adscope 603 (?) and for $27, it's WAY better than the cheap $19 Omron I got for my CNA program. e.g. on a scale of...

  3. Help with the Teas science section

    2mint replied to Cnama72's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Math section was surprisingly easy--the TEAS manual covers all the math you'll ever need for the exam. *3 ques. left--ran out of time. Reading section--should've reviewed more on the...

  4. Is it worth it to become a CNA on my road to becoming a nurse?

    2mint replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here in SoCal, $10 at SNFs and around $14 in hospitals. As for me, I would tell fellow students and in job interviews that I did CNA to gain nursing experience. That's a partial truth. The real truth...

  5. The road to becoming a CRNA?

    2mint replied to sadeesmith's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A Junior in high school? Bravo!!! Good for you for thinking ahead! CC is a very good route as instructors are really there to help (and as per most, if not all, CC's policy, instructors are expected...

  6. i want to die i failed my cna exam

    2mint replied to yajaira21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Agreed. Don't beat yourself up, MarkinAZ. You failed a skill that requires no education--aside from 10sec of instruction. Next time, just count for the full

  7. What is the answer to this question!?

    2mint replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The two words have to do with "absolutes" and the other has to do with "a sense of

  8. What is the answer to this question!?

    2mint replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    "A" (Check the connection.) is a good answer (best answer if it's an RN question), but given that this is a CNA question, the best answer is: C. Perform cath care and tell the nurse asap. Reasons: 1)...

  9. American red cross CNA training?

    2mint replied to ML617's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    "The ARC program is usually less expensive than the community college course." This statement needs to be qualified w/ a location. Here in CA, local CCs' tuition is at $36/credit hr.; NA program is 6...

  10. Worth it? Step-by-step LPN-RN-MSN?

    2mint replied to amjowens's topic in LPN to RN

    Thanks for the heads up. Well, just signed up for Am Red Cross NA training down in E. LA ($1500 vs. local CC at $600 total; 4wks vs 9wks; late March vs Sep start date). Just wanted to get some...

  11. UCLA MECN vs. CSUN ABSN

    2mint replied to amylizie's topic in California Nursing

    Honest question: Why would you want a Master's in anything other than in APN? (esp when you haven't worked as a nurse). With a Master's, you'd be competing with the ADN's, BSN's, but not with the...

  12. Cali lottery nursing schools

    2mint replied to rgs829's topic in California Nursing

    I think most of SoCal CC's are point based, but there are so many qualified applicants that then the selections become lottery based. Fresno City College is straight lottery based--just meet the min....

  13. American red cross CNA training?

    2mint replied to ML617's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks for the info. I checked and SoCal is $1900, NorCal (just north of SF, only 2 loc's) is $1395 and available ARC Scholarship (worth $500--I should qualify--bringing it down to $895+90exam =...

  14. Do you still hold doors for women?

    2mint replied to gtshin30303's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I usually like to step in then hold the door from the inside so it's easier to pass the torch to the next dude, but for the ladies, I usually hold the door from the outside. Yes, I do it for both...

  15. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    2mint replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To BeachsideNic, post#62 You quoted angelxeternity and bolded: "Actually, for the CSU system if you already have a BA/BS you CANNOT apply for the BSN program." post#62 Your response: "This is...

  16. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    2mint replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    (BeachsideNic) How can you be so sure that "This is completely incorrect" when you yourself did not "Check with each CSU campus for their admissions criteria..." ? It may be true for her uni (SFSU),...

  17. Help, second day of pre-nursing school and a lady in my class keeps bugging me

    2mint replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Nursing Students

    **Deleted.

  18. Starting Micro Tomorrow...oh gosh...

    2mint replied to mamaxmaria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In our class, we had our power pt. presentation lectures in advance so during lectures, students rarely participated. But I love lab, learned a lot and we were kept busy--two words: time flies. The...

  19. Poll: Was your anatomy & physio separate or combined?

    2mint replied to DBK99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Separate in CC in California (nursing no longer accepts A&P starting in 2009-ish). Our anatomy was "average" as in historically 2 A's, 2-3 B's, then the rest C's and D's and F's. Our physio was a...

  20. Work ethic, what's your take on it all

    2mint replied to cardiacrocks's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OP, you have a strong work ethic and a high standard of yourself. I used to work in a non-medical field where I have co-workers who actually bragged about their routine duties to the supervisor. To me...

  21. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    2mint replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're not in the "3.8-4.0 GPA" grp, then you don't understand the psyche of these students. I for e.g. was so glad to finally able to "relax" a bit after acing all my pre-reqs, but then, after...

  22. Starting A&P course tomorrow

    2mint replied to CelesteR903's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely flashcards. But nursing schools still allow A&P? Here in CA, since--I think--2009, you need A and P separately. In my Anatomy: initial 32, down to 24 students --> 2 A's and next...

  23. Gen X,Gen Y,baby boomers in the work place

    2mint replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Unreal...I actually wrote something similar to this in the PA forum about 3 yrs ago, but I used Aristotle,

  24. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    2mint replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I checked (only SJSU) and their BSN (called pre-nursing) is the only major accepting those w/ postbach/2nd bach. (sidenote: due to budget cuts, an est. 3k students will be turned away from (each of?)...

  25. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    2mint replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My bad, just checked SJSU website, and for those w/ a BA/BS already, their BSN is 6 semesters, meaning tuition alone is $6828 x 3 = $20,484 for CA residents (min GPA for Sp '11 class was 3.60--SJSU is...
