yeah sadly they're both very similar. I've made a spreadsheet to compare the two and will be sending some questions to both colleges to get responses to help me make my decision.
Just FYI two of the people I went to school with received their acceptance letters today at Centralia College. I live a bit further away so I'm guessing it just means it'll be in tomorrow. If you live closer though, I would suggest making sure to che...
My GPA is 3.96 and I should have qualified for all the points allowed at Centralia College. I'm glad to hear that the letters have been sent out!!! I'll be making sure to check my mail tomorrow! Good luck to you all!
Thanks Lisa! Hang in there on the wait list, one of my friends who attended Centralia also received an acceptance letter and we're both trying to decide which program to go with! Did you end up applying anywhere else? Thanks for the info you've heard...
A lot of great suggestions above, but I'd like to also suggest looking through some Crash Course videos! If needed look at some of the Chemistry and Biology playlists first to brush up on some terminology, then watch the ! I did very well in A&P...

I have heard the term CNA-2, but we do not have them in WA state. Instead we have a "delegation" that you can get to increase your scope (with the direction from an RN). CNA's are allowed to work in hospitals here as well, but they typically don't co...

Here in WA state a NAR is just registered with the state as having received formal training. However, a NAC is required to work at most places as it shows you have taken and passed the state test. Sadly, no one really explained this to me either and ...
Okay, so my plan is to take the TEAS test around May 15th, that way if I need to retake it again I can by around June 15th which will give me enough time to turn in my results to the schools I applied to by June 30th (deadline). Mondays and Fridays I...
tokmom I do know Providence in Olympia and Centralia will hire new ADN's (depending on the school they're coming from), however when I turned in my nursing application to a school the administrative staff that I spoke to mentioned her daughter in law...
ThinBabe, do you have a CNA license yet? I struggled with some of these issues when I first started my journey 2 years ago and made the choice to start out by diving straight into CNA to see if I could handle it. Turns out that over time I felt more...

You are all going to think my situation is very odd.... but it works wonderful for us! DH and I don't sleep together,(in the same bedroom!) so different bedtimes have never bothered us. I know we're not the first couple to come up with this idea as m...
I hear you! I need to have my TEAS scores submitted by June 30th. Since I know the TEAS will be heavily weighted in my application I plan on taking my first attempt by May 15th and if needed a second by June 15th. I am determined to give myself ever...
Just keep going! The worst thing I kept seeing repeatedly in our A&P classes was burnout! People would do sooooo well, then just take a week off. That week screwed up their grade so badly that they had to drop the class. We started A&P I with...
I think it depends on a couple of things really. What was your score and what criteria does your school use to determine who is let in? My school has changed their acceptance this year so that anyone with a 3.5-4.0 in a pre-req course gets the exac...

I plan on giving this university's program a try https://www.dmu.edu/medterms/ it's free and since it's not required for my program I'd rather not pay for it! I also have a box of medical term flash cards that I plan on looking over after I finish th...

First off, keep your chin up pretty lady!!! You can do this!!!!! Although I have not looked it up, from my personal experience I think Paul is right! I learn in a variety of ways, depending on the material and circumstances. Everything from flashcard...

Hang in there sweetbriar! You sound like you are a very driven person to be able to overcome those that are opposing you already. If this is what you really want, then chase those dreams girl! For me, it's when people tell me that "you're not good en...
sorry all, it has been a rough couple of weeks of class! GRATS to everyone that I missed though! I can't believe I'm just a few weeks away from starting my last pre-req, feels weird!
