I am on the other coast so I can't speak from experience with the school you are working with but I did encounter this when I took the CNA certificate. I signed up in January and finally got a call saying the class would start in May and there was only 4 of us in the class. Although the wait was frustrating in the end it was worth it, with so little people in class we breezed through all the theory and clinical hours and all got a lot of one on one attention. The cost is a lot (it was the same out here) so you might want to look into adult learning centers or the red cross, they are a little cheaper (in CA) but if you are willing to wait for this schools course to start I would just make sure that they are reputable or accredited!

The watch that I use mainly for work & find the most anti-germy is an AVON breast cancer watch my boss gave me last holiday season. It was something like 15 bucks so is definitely cost efficient and something you could replace easily (she bought a bulk order of 300 &handed them out to the whole office plus has extra's in case someone needs a replacement) I love that it is black since other colors seem to fade or get grimy very fast, that it has a neoprene band and big hands and numbers, also because it is black the dials stand out very well and make taking accurate times easy. Some girls I know love their MK or other pricey watches but this one is the best and my favorite for work.

Hello loves! I am hoping that I can find some help deciding between two (maybe three) courses of action! I currently have my BA in Psychology....about half way through my degree I realized that I wanted to be a nurse, but it made more sense for me to finish up school rather than change majors. From researching programs for post baccalaureate degrees in nursing there seems to be three options. 1-ABSN programs 2- Entry level MSN for non RN's 3- A) Get RN from a community college then do a Bridge RN-BSN/MSN program. I feel like option 3 might be the longest what with the Nursing program wait lists at community colleges even with the fact that there is some preques that I have to take before applying. The question is which one is the best fit for me :/ and was wondering if anyone else has been here or done it, if you had pros/cons to list, or anything tips you wish someone had told you. A little about me (which might be useful to know) is that -I have a GPA of over 3.5 (3.78 I think) so will meet the requirements ------The ABSN is 3.5 the MSN is 3.0 in the programs I have looked at. -I WANT to be an NP so want to get my MSN at least before I am truly "done" with school -I got my CNA certificate because most applications I looked at said that they look at that or it is at least a plus to have to get you considered for the program. -I work for a surgeon (as a nanny) and know RN's/Dr.'s who will write letters of recommendations for me (which I have heard is good to have, if this is not relevant to my question then please ignore!) -No children and no plans to have them in the near future so a large work load is ok (: && is there any tests or other requirements I might have to take/meet before applying? I think that is it, if someone could help I would really appreciate it! Thanks! K
