  1. How long is your program?

    12
  2. Trade school or?

    Well, due to life and everything, after extensive research I'm going to go to the trade school, and then do the lpn-RN bridge at the local CC. It takes less time that way, unfortunately. Out where I'm...
  3. LVN Schools - Mostly trade schools?

    Thank you! Victorville is southern in San Bernardino county. The only school I've found in my area is a trade school. I know those aren't great but I've heard people have good experiences
  4. Biology exams

    The only thing I could suggest is dont just memorize the material. Actually understand it. Be able to sit there and visualize what it is you're doing. Of course there is a lot of memorization, but for...
  5. 2015 Nursing School Applicants (all)

    What classes/entrance exams do you have left? I'm taking AP2 and CNA right now. Those are my last classes. I'm scheduled to take my teas 3/27! :) I need to schedule my HESI for another school. When...

    Thank you! I'm taking my TEAS V 3/27 so the advice is definitely
  7. carrington college Reno Kaplan exam 2015

    I've thought about trying them. I bought the kaplan study book. But I'm not sure. I think I'll stick with WNC first lol. I hope you get a better grade! I've heard the kaplan is
  8. carrington college Reno Kaplan exam 2015

    How bad was it? I'm applying to Wnc and TMCC this year but am using Carrington as a backup. I know they have a BUNCH of applicants, so I definitely know it's
  9. Taking A&P 1 and 2 in the summer?!

    Honestly, I wouldn't do it. AP 1 is a lot of information, and I feel like AP 2 is as well. Having them so condensed, it's probably possible, but I don't know what the chances of an A would be. I...
  10. What do you think my chances are!?

    It looks to me like you have a good chance! At my school, you'd have a pretty good chance of getting in. But it all depends on the school. Good
  11. Is nursing for me?

    No worries! It'll give you a real idea of what it would be like, especially since you'd be directly under the nurse. So you'd do what you do, and help them. It's a taste. I hope things become clearer...
  12. Is anyone using surface pro 3?

    I use a surface pro 2 and I absolutely love it. It's easy to use, compatible with all windows programs, has replaced my laptop, and is portable!
  13. Is nursing for me?

    Honestly, that's something you really need to look inside of yourself for the answer to. All of us have different reasons why we want to be a nurse, but only we know whether it's really what we should...
  14. Struggle - What would you do?

    So I'm facing another issue this semester. I'm currently enrolled in a CNA class, a pre-req for the nursing program. However, I still have AP2 left, and just got the finances in order to pay for it....
  15. Struggle - What would you do?

    I still have 6 classes left before my bsn. Where I live it's actually easier if you get your ASN then work on your BSN pre reqs while in the program, and matriculate once you've completed your bsn.
  16. Struggle - What would you do?

    Well, I've decided to take the leap. They will refund us if we can't take it, so the administrator said. If anything, I'll end up only taking ap2, and will take CNA in
  17. Struggle - What would you do?

    Not exactly.. lol. Basically I'm currently in CNA but have AP2 left. I could take a different CNA class, and be able to take AP2. However there is a chance the new CNA class wont be able to find a...
  18. UNR Orvis School Of Nursing

    Just wondering if anyone has gone there how entrance is? I'm 5 classes from being able to apply but I don't have the best GPA(probably 3.3) and I'm curious what kind of GPA you need for matriculation....
  19. UNR Orvis School Of Nursing

    Honestly, I decided to take your guys' advice. I've retaken my math(higher level), and English. Got A's in both. This has now raised me to a 3.6. I'm also retaking AP1, and going from there. All in...
  20. Sent off my application

    Good luck!!! I'll be in your shoes next spring
  21. What if you don't get into a nursing program?

    If I don't get in, I will assess my pre requisites and retake what isn't up to par. At this point, there's only microbiology, and chemistry that could hurt me. However, I'm pretty secure with my ap...
  22. Nurse Aides?

    Most community colleges do it. If you look on your nursing boards website you should be able to find all the places that do the certification. As for me, I'm taking my CNA this spring so I can work...
  23. does anyone else feel this way?

    Yep. Sometimes I get afraid to push myself. But I'm realizing I have
  24. Is a B in A&P bad?

    Depends on how competitive your program is and what other grades are considered. I'm retaking a B+ in AP1 because I want security to get in, and want a
  25. ASN or BSN?

    So recently I've hit a bit of a snag at my local community college. I was taking my pre-requisites, and retaking some pre-requisites in order to be adequately prepared for the competition for Fall...
