   I was invited for an interview at MHCC and I only had a 3.67 GPA, but I am a CNA. I also applied to CCC with a 3.9 GPA on their application and 3 points for my CNA. The CNA must be where they are making their decision.

    I'm taking a class through a nursing home that offers cna classes every once in awhile. I am required to work for them for 6 months. But in my area it is pretty easy to find cna work. I can begin working as soon as my class is over before my state te...

13. A & P pre requisites - need advice

    bh93 replied to ElizabethH736's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You should download the Khan Academy app. I have already finished the A&P sequence and that app was so helpful. Also the ITunes U app is pretty cool too. You can listen to lectures and watch power points from classes at major universities.
