Congratulations and best of luck to you!

What exactly are you having trouble with? Is it just test anxiety?

Are you sure becoming a CNA is right for you?

I agree with this. I wouldn't consider myself a "people person." I'm friendly and I care about people, but I prefer to keep to myself most of the time. I don't think this will make me a bad nurse.

What course was most difficult for you and why? I'm just curious. I hear a lot of people talk about how hard A&P is.

What exactly does it mean to "think critically"? I keep seeing and hearing this term everywhere. Sorry for the newb question. Thank you for your time.

If you get the chance, let me know how the test goes.

Thank you all for the wonderful responses! My next question: Does nursing school teach you to think critically?

So the COMPASS test is similar to the GED? I should do fine then. I had to take the GED test because I had to drop out of HS, and they said I was in the top 5% of GED graduates in my state. (Sorry, I know this isn't my thread, but I found it helpfu...

Oh gosh, that's tough. My school's failing grade is anything below 77%. (The school I plan on attending, anyway.)

My plan is to become a LPN, but I'm pondering becoming a CNA first. I just have a few questions for you CNA's out there: ~ Do CNA's have the option of working nights? ~ How many hours/days a week do you generally work? ~ What was school/training like...

You and I both. Do you know the name of the math course included in your school's LPN program? I think it's different for different schools.

Don't even get me started on math. I'm the worst at it. Thankfully, the only math course I'll have to take for my LPN program is "Contemporary Mathematics." I've heard it's easier than College Algebra. Still dreading it though... Why does one need to...

Is pharmacology under another name by any chance? I don't see any pharmacology courses as part of my school's LPN program.

Thank you all for the wonderful, informative responses! I'm still undecided on what to do at this point, but you all have been so helpful. I think one of the things that really bothers me is the pay. CNA's just aren't paid enough for all that they ha...

You're an excellent writer; I really liked it.

Congratulations! You must be ecstatic. :) Best of luck on the NCLEX and in your nursing career!

The LPN program I plan on getting into requires that a take a course called "MAT 155." Does anyone know what kind of math is involved in this course? I've always been really terrible at math and just barely passed it in school. Sorry if this is a dum...

I bet you're excited to be finishing up! I haven't even begun yet. How has LPN school been for you thus far? Math is just a headache. I'm sure you'll do great though. I mean you made an A in the other math course. c:

My college course catalog refers to it as "Contemporary Mathematics." : \

Congratulations! Best of luck to you in your nursing career. :)
