Taking stats online. So far, I have 100. I don't know what I am doing but I never done math higher than college prep math before... I also was admitted to an advanced CNA course this morning.

In A&P II, our professor encouraged us to do community service related projects for grade school children. She would give us Extra Credit if we done it, but not as a requirement.

Here's to my LAST semester of pre-requisites! Pre-Reqs left are: Advanced CNA Statistics Core classes I need for my degree that I am taking this semester are: English Composition I Nutrition Here's to all of us having a good semester!

They don't use all formadelhyde or cadavers. For instance, we used cats in our A&P courses. There was an exception of one instructor who has a health condition and couldn't be exposed to preservatives so in that class, the cats were a bit fresher.

Cutting down expenses and making sacrifices is a huge part of nursing school. Im cutting back to part-time at work and putting money back for nursing school. My husband makes a decent living so there's cushion for bills and other obligations. for example, my children need to be in childcare for nursing school and that will be expensive. If you do go the LPN route, just remember that you may be limited as far as job opportunity in your area. If you don't mind working LTC while going for your RN, great.

i was told to be revaccinated. I was immune on two components of MMR and indeterminate on 1. I'm due for the second MMR dose in early Sept.

I'm 25 and I just had my first MMR dose since childhood. All this cause I was indeterminate in my lab on Rubeola. The other two components or MMR, I was fine. It's been a headache for me.

I have heard the job prospects for new MA grads are slim pickings. My cousin-in-law has or had her CMA but could never find employment as a MA. She had her X ray certification with it. She wants to go back for nursing now as a result. If I were you, I'd back out and find a CNA program instead till there is a spot open in the LPN program.

That sucks, OP. Sorry about your misfortune. I really do not care for the lottery system myself. I would rather sit on a waiting list. Look to other schools and keep applying. Something will have to give eventually.

If I were you, just go through a BSN program. I am saying this based on you already have an Associate's in a related health sciences field. If your goal is to be a marketable RN for a hospital position, go for the BSN. It'd be a lot better than going through another Associate's program unless you absolutely had to.

It's not worthless to me. I have kids and a full time job. I also was not a good student in high school. For me, it is best to go do my ADN before the BSN. I'm fine with working at my LTC facility as a RN with an Associate's and then move into acute care with my BSN. I can also get a hospital job but have to get my BSN within a set amount of time.

My chem professor rounded up or down the grades. The other ones, not so much.

Check your program requirements. Most programs in my area want their prospective students to be on the state registry as a CNA prior to admitting. I think it depends on you as a person and your background. If you have zero experience or unsure about nursing, becoming a CNA is a cheaper and faster route to get experience. If you are certain you are not supposed to be around fecal matter, you might not: A) meet the health requirements for the nursing program B) Find a plan B (not necessarily out of the health sciences if that's what you want but maybe on the non-clinical/nursing side)

It's not a bad idea at all. It's your first college semester and you should focus on becoming more acclimated to college courses vs worrying about the number of credits you are taking. The competitive nursing programs focus on GPA in the pre-reqs and what kind of volunteer experience you have. Welcome to college.

I get disbursement off mine when it is excess. You are free to use the money for your needs or wants. I use my leftovers for my car payment, food, rent, etc.
