I'll be at Daytona campus!

I'm doing nights because I work night shift as a CNA so I figured it would be good to stay on one schedule lol! I haven't met anybody doing nights yet though :"( you excited for orientation on Monday?

Congratulations everybody :) are you guys going to be doing days or nights?

Even it wasn't my assigned skill for the day, I'd still do it. If you see a problem, why not take the initiative and try to fix it? Or call the CNA to assist you if you don't have that much time or it's a 2 person assist patient. That's one of the in...

It was my overall :) I had to take a lot of remedial math classes though.

I got in with a 3.35 as many others have this semester. Just try your best. I seriously had been stressing about applying for the year + I was doing my pre-reqs and in reality it's painless... I think as long as you strive to keep your GPA above a 3....

You're welcome! Have you applied yet? :)

@livinmydream I had all my pre-reqs complete and they judge your overall G.P.A but they also look at your exact grades in the pre-reqs. I heard that you just have to pass the TEAS, that they only really count on it when there are 2 students with the ...

Congrats, Justin I also was accepted for Spring 2015. I'm so excited!

Don't be embarrassed. I took the TEAS a total of 3 times before passing it on my third attempt! Just do a lot of practice and you will be absolutely fine. You can do this!

Just an update: I got my acceptance letter today! :)

Refer to this FAQ: https://allnurses.com/teas-exam-help/how-i-passed-804222.html This user conveniently lists all the concepts you will be tested on :) I would also invest in the ATI teas manual, that's your most solid resource!

I have a 3.35 GPA! (super low, I know, I'm just terrible in math and had a mess up in A&P 1). But I talked to the Nursing office and they said the lowest GPA they accepted last semester was around a 3.0 so lets hope I get in) My TEAS AITS is 79%,...

Math is my tough subject. I "failed" it twice (according to what my schools requirements were, I got a 50% my first time and a 60% the second time). On my third attempt I passed the math with an 80%, which is still low but I am AWFUL in math. I stu...

Ummnasim, I tried to send you a private message but your inbox is full!

Hello my fellow CNA's, I just graduated my CNA program in August and amazingly enough, I was recently hired for a position on the oncology floor at my local hospital. My program was 3 months long and 2 months of the 3 was spent getting clinical expe...

Hello Oncology nurses! I just graduated my CNA program in August and amazingly enough, I was recently hired for a position on the oncology floor at my local hospital. I have been researching Oncology, Oncology Nursing, and working on the Oncology fl...

Thank you!

Hi, I'm not a male but I've met many male CNA's and male Nurses! (I am also a minority CNA which I'll get into later) Just do your best and listen to your patients especially in terms of modesty concerns. For example, don't get offended or take it pe...

I think the major difference is you won't be working in a facility, you will be working in a home and driving to each house to care for your patientS. One of my former classmates is an HHA now and she cooks, buys groceries/house supplies based on pat...

For me, we had set days and times each week we did our clinicals they never varied. So, I knew exactly what I was doing, where, and when. They were for 6 hours each. Your school should have this info in the syllabus if not definitely call/email th...

As a CNA who just got a job on an oncology floor your post really touched me. I've always wondered myself, is it okay to cry? Are we allowed to feel even though we know we have to be the strong one for the families and patients? I don't really have ...

What is your fondest memory? Rural Montana sounds interesting! What was it like?

I was SO nervous! I had anxiety going through the roof. But then I got there and I realized that I know how to do this and that I CAN and WILL do this. After I had been doing clinicals for a few days the anxiety went away, my nervousness dissipated i...
