    GirlCalledJack replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Cardiac

    GirlCalledJack posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've got a few questions... I am leaning toward an ADN, for time and money sake... but thought I'd ask about my schools pre-req's! They don't seem as bad as a lot of people have made them seem!...

  8. Cost of Books? (And Financial Aid ?'s)

    GirlCalledJack replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in General Students

    GirlCalledJack replied to cdm369's topic in General Nursing

  14. Getting CNA if not required?

    GirlCalledJack replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school the CNA class is one month worth of four hour classes 3 times a week... not too bad if you ask me :) So I may as well go for

  19. Getting CNA if not required?

    GirlCalledJack replied to GirlCalledJack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure that I'll work while in Nursing school, but since it will be at least a year and a half until then, I thought working as a CNA would beat working in retail since I'm going to nursing...
