  1. No wait list schools

    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...
  2. On-line Courses???

    I take most of my classes online. The only time people have to attend campus is if they are taking a science or speech class.
  3. No wait list schools

    Quite a few of the schools in NC don't have a waiting list. We normally go by a point system.
  4. Anyone here live in Ohio?

    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?
  5. Anyone here live in Ohio?

    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.
  6. Anyone good at GPA calculations????

    I don't bother. I use http://www.laurasmidiheaven.com/Tools/GPACalculator.shtml. So far it's been pretty accurate.
  7. APA format and citations

    Wow, thanks vlsgrl. I'm currently taking an English comp class. I'm going to use this to check my formats before submitting.
  8. What classes do you consider essential?

    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.
  9. where in north carolina?

    Lol, Bragg Blvd. is still nothing but pawn shops and strip clubs. With a few fast food places of course.
  10. Are there any CNA jobs with high pay rates?

    The most I've seen is Duke. CNA I's start at $10, CNA II's $11.
  11. Books, Books, Books!!

    Have bought/plan on buying: Medical Microbiology AudioLearn http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0970419945/ref=wl_it_dp/002-2303716-5037625?%5Fencoding=UTF8&colid=3ND898DWA0RKB&coliid=I1BJR581HNHSB4&v=glance&n=283155 Medical Terminology ...
  12. What has been your fav prereq??

    So far, my English course. I haven't taken a&p or micro yet, so my opinion may change later.
  13. Which class is easier?

    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.
  14. online schools cheapen our profession?

    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,...

  16. question about cna classes

    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...

    hi all, i'm 22 years old, attached but no children. i graduated from adult high school and for the past year have been taking college classes, but for adn and all the general classes for a bsn. i still have to take chem, algebra (really need to revie...
  18. needing some math help

    http://sparknotes.com They have tutorials on pretty much everything.
  19. what study habits help you?

    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 ...
  20. just got done with "interview" at UT

    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...

    Hi, http://princetonreview.com has the average GPA for students if you want to take a look.

  23. I Am Innnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Congrats.
  24. Do you worry you won't get accepted?

    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...
