The schools with point systems go by the grades you have. For an Associate's, you take classes like Expository Writing, A&P I/II, Micro, etc. You also get points for attending an information session. It comes out to 127 points total. I was told t...
I'm considering a move there (Columbus) and would like to know: if the schools go by wait list or point systems STNA's: Are they equivalent to a CNA I or II?
Merrique replied to Merrique's topic in Pre-Nursing
I'm not sure, but Ohio has Patient Care Techs. I think they may be the equivalent to CNA II. CNA II's can do cath care, NG tubes, sterile dressing changes, etc. I'm finishing my CNA I class in May and plan on enrolling in CNA II around August.
Stats (Required of all BSN programs here. You'll need it if you plan on doing MSN) Patho/Pharm Spanish Medical Terminology Psych (I always wanted to take abnormal) Sociology (if interested) Nutrition A World Religions class might be good also.

Philosophy and ethics will require more research and thought. Spanish may be the easiest since you've already taken it. I'd go with the religion class. I agree that you should ask around about the instructors. Or go to ratemyprofessor.com.

I'm a pre-nursing student, but I do know a bit about online learning. I attend a community college and so far have accrued 30 s.h., 22 online. My classes on campus were much easier. All I had to do was show up and take the test. With online learning,...

My school has 16 week, 9 week, and 8 week classes. This time I'm taking 16 week courses (Jan-May) Developmental Psychology Argument-Based Research Western Civilizations I Sociology of the Family I'll be taking A&P this summer.
I've never heard of a CNA class online. I do know the Red Cross gives classes in some larger cities. If you're already in nursing school, you may be able to sit for the exam now. In NC you can get CNA certification after the first semester of nursing...

I admit I don't do anything except read the book for most classes. I have an excellent memory though so this always gets me at least a B. I'm not the greatest in some science and all math, so for those I go to sparknotes.com or practice problems. If ...

Don't worry about it, I think you gave a good answer. Informing them that you plan on working during the summer shows responsibility. With the financial aid you should be fine. If you still don't have enough, try nursing scholarships or local hospita...
Merrique replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Pre-Nursing
I'm not worried, but only because most of the colleges around me don't have waiting lists. They go by a point system (classes) which is what it should be. As long as I keep getting A's I'll be fine. I remember seeing a CC a few hours from here that o...

Currently, I have a 4.0 in pre-nursing classes (This is what they look at for the points system) I have a 2.9 overall, it'll be around 3.2 at the end of the semester. A 2.5 is minimum to apply. I still have a few pre-nursing classes to take: speech, ...
