Yes, you work only weekends. Your workweek could also be Sat, Sun, Mon...12 hour shifts and yes you make a differential for working weekends and even more $$ if you work weekend/nights but I don't...
You might not hear back until well into the fall. You will first get a letter telling you that you qualify to take the NET test (entrance exam) and then they will tell you your results of the test,...
Many say not to bother getting the PCT, just get experience as a CNA and the PCT job will come anyway. I took both and got hired with people for the same job that only had their CNA but they had...
I did have Chemistry prior to the test but some of the science questions on the TEAS I just guessed at. There were very few that were foriegn to me as far as science. Just know whats in the study...
I would recommend applying everywhere to assure a spot. I applied to 4 schools cause I wanted to assure a spot and even though it was timeconsuming (transcripts, essays etc) and expensive...
I was successful with the study guide you have for the NET. For the TEAS, get the TEAS study guide because that test was a little different. I also used my NET book to study for the math for TEAS....
The way I see it, the older grads have 10+ years under their belt of dealing with not only life experience............... but most came from previous careers and previous degrees in other fields....
I have read many posts on here where people claim you are eligible to take the LPN boards after completing your first year of nursing school. I was curious if anyone can confirm that this is true or...
I met with Sanford Brown as a backup to the RN program. Even though I completed A&P I and II (this year), they wanted me to take "their" A&P and the tuition is $30,000 for 18 months. They...
Good luck. I've been at it for months now trying to get positive feedback . For every one positive comment I get 10 terrible ones. I'm trying to focus on the positive cause I'm starting the...
Hi, I got into GPCs program for this fall (I'm terrified by the way, only 9 people made it to graduation this past May :uhoh21: ). Anyhoot, I got in with a a 3.33, maybe a little higher by the time I...
I was curious about this one............. What if your bachelors degree was business focussed (B.S.) and your an ADN and are hoping to go into "administration management type" positions after bedside?...
Can't we all just get along? I knew very little about the depth of dedication and knowledge involved in nursing when I started too (see above post). Now, I look at it different and I can see why...

Heres the cold hard truth (in a nutshell), I don't want to sound harsh, or scare you from pursuing your dream, but I wish I had someone to inform me of all this when I started. I'm surprised nobody...
Get the study guide and review it cover to cover, even if you meet people that have taken the test and say "don't worry about studying"..............study it anyway. Usually the test will be...
Just an FYI :) From what I understand, you have to have experience before you can go PRN. You get paid more for the skills you have and the fact that you get to basically "make your own schedule."...
Its nice to hear from someone that they too were sick of hearing how much you "Have no life" when you start the clinical nursing sequence. I'm getting ready to say my "goodbyes" to friends and family...
Nicole, I actually never ended up doing home health but knew people that did and it worked out well for them to get experience. I worked in the hospital but had to leave to get a summer job where I...
