If any of you have read my recent discussions, you'll know I've been trying to get into the CNA program. But I had a thought: if I'm going into the RN program, won't I just learn every thing a CNA would need to learn during the first part? I don't se...

Bumping this to hopefully get an answer.

I'm not starting until Jan. But I'll be starting my basic English, math and humanities :) So excited.

I'll be starting classes (pre-nursing) in the Spring and I've been discussing how to work out my schedule with my partner. We will have a new apartment by Sept 15 and we both work to pay the bills. I may need a second job to pay through my classes wh...

I'll be signing up for the Spring of 2017. Here are the pre-reqs my CC requires before entering the ADN program. Human Anatomy & Physiology I (3 Credits) Human Anatomy & Physiology I LAB (1 credit) Math course with prefix: MAC, MGF or STA (3 ...

Wow, that's really something. Maybe there are more hidden costs to online than I thought. Money is an issue for me.

My friends from high school went into the cosmetology program. I'm going to college and into the nursing field. I pray to God I can meet them again one day at the hair place where they work and casually explain what I do for a living. Meanwhile they ...

That's interesting. There is a note right below the list of coursework that needs to be done saying that I can take a Med Term course in addition to the pre-reqs, but it's not required. I'm strongly thinking about taking that, maybe online.

So today was interesting. My boyfriend of two years and I found out that we will be moving into our first apartment next month, both exciting and worrying. I also found out from the school I will be attending that the CNA program I am applying for do...

I'm unfamiliar with the career of a DA. But three things that come with a nursing education are growth, flexibility, and variety. (Notice I didn't mention salary)

I'm sitting here trying to think of a way to respond to this. The immensity of the loss and grief those two are living through right now is too great to imagine. I hope they have loved ones to take care of them.

This coming spring I'm going to be starting my pre-nursing course work, ideally online. I'm thinking about getting a second job to have deposited directly to my savings account while I take my pre-reqs over the next few years. My boyfriend and I have...

I would work. But I wouldn't be able to as much as I would be through pre-reqs because it would be full-time.

@Sour Lemon, RN I understand. I only plan to take 1-2 pre-reqs per semester. I don't want to overload myself.

I think that might be why. Apparently since it's a vocation and not pure education then they don't want to pay for it.

I'm just beginning college to start working on my prereqs. I've had anxiety and depression since I was a teenager and my doctor just prescribed me with Prozac medication to better maintain it when it hits me. I'm sure you have to go through a physica...

Get it into your head that when you're going to be in a hospital with lots of lighting, your eyes are going to take it that it's still daytime which will keep you awake. When you are home you can either go to bed that morning or stay up for a while (...

I didn't know where to post this so I just decided to make it a general topic. Unrelated to nursing, I'm not even in school for my CNA program yet and I'm already having a hard time keeping up with my family. I moved out to live with my boyfriend and...

During my middle and high school years my mom would drop hints that I should become a nurse because they are always in demand and have a decent salary. I hadn't given it much thought until my sophomore year when I started doing butt loads of research...

The stresses of being a nurse on top of being a new grad wouldn't be good for you or the baby. Wait until you've given birth so that it will be a more comfortable transition.

Schools may not always require the cert or the exp, but getting a job is getting tougher, even in the nursing field. Hospitals don't like to hire new grads for the lack of exp, and being a CNA while going through school is a major perk to getting you...

I am not yet a CNA, but I do work with the public in retail. I have been treated rudely by customers even when I was doing everything in my power to solve the situation. The very first customer who wasn't afraid to let her mouth flap at me was when s...

Nursing school is one of my interests after high school because I had been considering medical school to become a doctor, but realized I do not want to be the one giving orders and would rather carry them out and making things happen for the patient....

I have considered going to school to get my BSN to become a RN. I am in JROTC at my high school and I will probably also want to serve time in the military. I was wondering what would be the best way to become a RN in the military? (Fyi I will probab...

I'm going to become a CNA after a graduate high school to see if I want to become a nurse or not, but I am getting really discouraged from all the stuff nurses say on the internet about how negative the job is. I know nursing has a lot of cons but ev...
