I just know that I would have tested much better had I already known how to take vital signs. The CNAs and techs already knew those skills, and therefore, they had more time to study, whereas I had...
I wouldn't worry about competition w/ other students. Everyone just wants to pass. Also, many of the CNAs and techs have learned things the 'wrong' way, so in that regard, I would not rely to much...
I don't think 675 will be good enough. There may be less applicants this year, and with them (planning on) accepting more students, she might squeeze though, but it will be tough. I was told that...
I'm not good in math, and I almost made an A. Dosage is 'built in' the program. I had it only on Mondays from 8-8:55, & the nursing class started at 9:00. It was in the same room. Personally,...
It's hard. I already have a degree, and getting that degree was cake compared to getting a nursing degree. What I've noticed is that the students who have medical experience are testing better than...
I tried to message you, but it said that you don't accept messages right now. I don't know who actually reads these boards. I was accepted in the program this past fall w/ a 3.855 GPA & 90.4...
There weren't 80 accepted last year. There were either 64 or 65 accepted this past fall, with over 800 applicants, which was less than the previous year. This year, they are wanting to accept more,...

A very similar incident happened to me. I'm a certified legal assistant (staring nursing school tomorrow) and several years ago, the HR manager w/ the firm with which I was employed, came to my...
Following as we'll...OP, I'm in the same boat as you! I also start NS on the 26th, & I've heard HORROR stories about this class! In fact, the woman whom I purchased my books actually had As...

If there's not already a healthcare POA in place now, then it sounds as if that option is no longer available. SHE has to be competent to make her wishes known to sign a POA. You can petition the...
Well, I got them from a store out of state called 'Workingman's Store.' I got the last med. in both the top and lab coat. I visited w/ family the last week and I got them there. The shoes are nurse...
Are y'all starting to get nervous???? I know I am! I got my shoes, my top (I'd like to get a second one.) and my lab coat over the weekend for $54! I thought that was a pretty good deal. I'm so...
