    ADVICE!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to berrysweetlety's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I volunteered at a hospital a few years ago. It was a good experience. To me, it is a waste of money to become a CNA before nursing school since after your first semester you can sit for the test....

    Should I pursue an AA or an AS?

    NurseGirl525 replied to sashagomez01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently doing an ASN program. I will bridge over to my BSN later once I get a job. It honestly depends on how long you can go without a job. I figured I could live about 2.5 years...

    NurseGirl525 replied to sashagomez01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
