  4. Micro and AP2 together?

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

    Our college would let you apply before you were done but because it is point based, you wouldn't get in because everyone else who applied had every pre-req done. I finished all my pre-reqs summer...

  5. Micro and AP2 together?

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

    I find A&P very time consuming and difficult. Microbiology on the other hand was easy to me. I didn't really need to study Micro, but A&P took up all my time. I did A&P 1 in the spring...

  6. Going to school while working full time?

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

    As a manager you are responsible for people who call out. If you can't find anyone you have to work (you may miss classes this way). So I personally would decline it even though it may be more...

    MommaTy replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

  12. Is the application process through a community college a lottery?

    MommaTy replied to Sofia15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not mine, but I'm in Holyoke, Mass. It's a point based system. Then if you didn't get accepted you are told you are on the wait list for that year only. Then you need to reapply for the next

  13. How long did it take you to complete your prerequisites?

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

  17. MA/CNA looking for a part-time job in Central Florida

    MommaTy replied to Nathifalr26's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Can't help you with the area (Florida). But I can tell you as long as you have CNA (at least a year) experience a hospital will consider you. They will teach you the extra things you need like...

  20. What do you wear under scrubs?

    MommaTy replied to granolatrees's topic in General Students

    MommaTy replied to rmariee's topic in General Students

    We weren't allowed to bring guests. Even if I could I wouldn't. But that is me, I don't have anyone to bring and don't have a support system. That is why I signed up here. Even if you bring...

    MommaTy replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    I'm a PCT II which is a CNA that has extra training. You can volunteer but that may not be looked at as much as a Per Diem CNA position would

  24. A little premature, but will we find a job after nursing school?

    MommaTy replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

  25. PCT Taking the CNA Exam.

    MommaTy replied to SexyFloridaGirl's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Here where I live they wouldn't let you do any patient care in hospitals or LTC unless you have your CNA certification. To take the CNA exam you actually have to have classroom hours. So be aware...
