Also for people commenting on this saying it didn't work, you wait 24 hours.

While I agree that it is unreasonable to waste 200 dollars to try the PVT. Most people are intelligent enough to put in a fake credit card number. The PVT is not 100% accurate though I agree. I have been next to people that have done it and it says t...

Lol I enjoy this thread. I would also like to mention the grades at my CC. In my nursing program the grades were as followed A >98 A- 95-97 B+ 90-94 B 88-90 B- 86-88 And an 86 or above was required in each class to move on in the program. Man wa...

Always always always ask for help. Nobody is going to think less of you. At my hospitals we never turn a patient by ourselves. We don't want an injury and the hospital doesn't want to have to pay for our injury. A complete care patient that can't tur...

At my clinical rotations as students we were in charge of complete all around care. Meaning of course the CNA's weren't going to be going in those rooms as much. As students we had 3-4 patients so it only makes sense that we can do CNA care as well a...

LOL oh my gosh that statement. I go to a community college and I have never seen cheating. I also would like to mention that my community college has the highest nclex scores in the state. I guess perhaps we cheat on that as well. 😂😂😂

I loved my job as a CNA because it allowed me to have a very well paying position while going through nursing school. I often said if I didn't know there was a light at the end of the tunnel, I would quit lol.

I started studying for nclex as soon as I started the program. My program required an nclex review book in the beginning and I used it to study for exams. Now that I'm about to graduate I've completed the book and have bought another one for after gr...

My program has always been two 9 hour clinical days and two days of 6-8 hours of lecture depending on which rotation we were in. Comes to around 30-35 hours. Almost always Monday-thursday which makes it nice because then you have Friday- Sunday to wo...

SAME I was always the first to get things done and the most prepared for clinicals and exams. People would ask how I found time. You just get it done earlier and faster than anyone else because you KNOW "ok I only have THIS two hours so I better fini...

12-16 patients is the norm on my telemetry floor for a pct. It will get easier with time! Good luck!

Worked 30 hours first as a waitress and then 36 hours as a nurse tech the last year. Not only did I have time to study, I also had time to go to the gym 5 days/ week, celebrate with friends after exams, hang out with my boyfriend and friends, and kee...

You can see all the books required for each class on web advisor the same way that you can for every other class!

From my experience in nursing school tattoos and piercings rules are a lot less strict. As far as tattoos we were allowed to have them showing as long as they weren't offensive. Piercings we were allowed 3 on each ear. I would still go ahead and get ...

I'm not from GA so my information might not be of help. Don't believe everyone when they say you can't work through nursing school. Myself and a lot of others in my program worked full time. I worked as a CNA through my RN program, 3 12 hour shifts. ...

I never even realized nursing school could be so expensive! My RN-ADN program cost around 4,000 total and my RN-BSN will cost me 15,000 both from accredited schools. Makes me feel very, very lucky. I would be paying off 180,000 for the rest of my li...

So from my understanding of this OP, the moral of the post is to not go to nursing school because the application process is to hard. If you are worried about the time spent applying to your college of choice, then you aren't going to be happy with ...

Nurses week doesn't start until tomorrow! Maybe you won't be ignored after all!

Come to Michigan! Huge shortage and lots of jobs!

Michigan! My group have all been getting offers before graduation even. GOOD LUCK!

I just meant that if you are one of the 160 and you get told you start a certain month but would LIKE to start earlier: get your books and supplies just in case they call you to fill a spot. A lot of people decided last minute they wanted to start LA...

Thanks for the information but I am talking about RN-BSN programs, I know nothing of BSN programs because I am an ADN going for a BSN bridge program.

Yeah from the beginning I think up to 55 KNEW right away they were starting in August.

My best advice is to ALWAYS be available to start soon. They were calling people the DAY before we started in August to fill a spot. They called all the way to March starts. So just get all of your books and supplies because if you are called to star...

Oh yeah of course. I know of someone ranked 70 that started in August. Some people decide not to do it or decide to start later.
