  1. Is Pre-Nursing considered an Associate's Degree?

    MommaTy replied to asker101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my school to get an associates degree you need 60 credits. My pre-reqs (which is pre-nursing) was only 24 credits. Hope that helps. Good luck :) Mine is a community college

  2. Feel like giving up

    MommaTy replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's something you really want (RN) then please don't give up. I have 5 kids ages 9, 7, 6, 3, and 15 months. It took me 5 years just to do my pre-reqs. My GPA is a 2.97 and I got accepted into...

  3. Which is harder A&P 1 or 2

    MommaTy replied to StayHumble11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 1 spring semester so it was 15 weeks, and I took A&P 2 as a summer course so it was 5 weeks. I got an A- for A&P2 :) A&P 1 I got a B- and I tried so

  4. Low GPA, should I get it up or go for LPN?

    MommaTy replied to stephanie30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All I can say is take some easier classes to boost up your GPA. I have a 3.0 and I was accepted into the RN program for fall 2013. Good luck

  5. One step closer...

    MommaTy replied to MeganLMillman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The TEAS usually has a study guide book you can pick up. I had to take the NLN exam. It has all the math, science, and reading you need for the test in the book. Also at the college you are...

  6. Starting my pre-reqs, any advice?

    MommaTy replied to JR02127's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You must check the school for what they require. My program doesn't require any chemistry, other schools do. But I suggest taking A&P1 and 2 as your last classes before you apply so that is still...

  7. I made it :)

    MommaTy replied to zoe92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats and good luck

  8. Will you buy any books before starting the fall 2013 program?

    MommaTy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was buying my NLN pre nursing entrance exam book I saw so many nursing school books you can buy. I was really thinking about getting one or a couple since I have a couple months on my hands to...

  9. Look for a new job or stay where I am?

    MommaTy replied to Just_Kidney's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would stick with one job. The hospitals around me look for commitment to one place for as long as possible. But since it would be a job change (CNA to RN) then go where you really want to go :)...

  10. CNA VS LPN

    MommaTy replied to mz_tonep's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here in Massachusetts LPNs only work in the nursing homes, and people have a really difficult time getting a job as one. As a CNA its like they will hire you instantly because the need is so high....

  11. Worried I am going to lose my job.

    MommaTy replied to Nursingstudent0688's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Best thing to do is to call your boss and either ask on the phone about it or go in and see your boss. Good

  12. CNA skills exam - This is driving me crazy!!!

    MommaTy replied to yugot2h8's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't think they will fail you for that, but as long as the gloves were on for the mouth care you might be okay

  13. certified LPN considering CNA/PCT/ or MA instead

    MommaTy replied to notyetnurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know LPN positions are in high demand in nursing homes. But if you do go that route going to CNA remember you can always apply for another position in that establishment after 6 months to 1 year as...

  14. Failed CNA skills Exam: Appeal results?

    MommaTy replied to MarkinAZ's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I passed my clinical and written exam 1st try, but I know so many people who failed their clinical test at least once. Don't give up, re-try, you got this

  15. Clinicals?!

    MommaTy replied to helloporcelain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I remember my 1st clinical at as a CNA student. Like you knew what to expect, but what you saw was like an eye opener. For example, I knew I would be cleaning people so I would see them naked. But...

  16. CNA hourly wage in Massachusetts

    MommaTy replied to joissedd10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I live in Springfield, Mass. Nursing home CNA pays are about 9.50 to 10 dollars. Hospitals are 13-15 dollars. But its tough to get in the hospitals here with no experience. Good

  17. RN student to CNA

    MommaTy replied to goodbadgirl4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where I live in Massachusetts they have whats called SNAP (student nurse program). You work per diem as a CNA as long as you have completed your 1st semester of nursing classes

  18. Can't add A&P II yet?

    MommaTy replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good

  19. Summer A&P or 1st semester nursing program?

    MommaTy replied to meg2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try to take A&P during the summer. I took A&P 2 during the summer (4 weeks) and I did great. Try to get as many classes as you can out of the way before you start nursing school. I...

  20. Ouch. :(

    MommaTy replied to Jonahyona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you take A&P yet? What I did was took A&P1 during spring semester, then I took micro during the summer, then A&P2 the following summer (4 week course). I found micro easier than...

  21. Which is harder A&P 1 or 2

    MommaTy replied to StayHumble11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I felt like A&P 1 was harder for me, A&P 2 was easier for me

  22. Did you take all pre-reqs before applying?

    MommaTy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm new to the site and as I look through all the threads I see some students who are upset. My advice before you apply take all required pre-reqs. It better prepares you and then they will really...

  23. Not so great first year of college

    MommaTy replied to miaamandac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't give up! They do put into consideration if you started doing better

  24. Low GPA Options

    MommaTy replied to gnvant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
