How hard was the intro to psych CLEP exam? I was thinking of doing that after I took one of the courses they offer.

38 is fine! I'm 30 and just now going for it. I was going to wait until I'm 40. Life is short. Being a nurse only takes 1-4 years depending on if you wanna do LPN, RN, or get your BSN. You are worried about your looks. I mean NO offense to anyone but...

I'm not a nurse, but I will be taking my prereqs in January. I just thought I'd share my story on how school nurses can really be impactful. I was in second grade and we were doing routine eye exams in the nurse's office. My school nurse, at the tim...

I think choosing this profession (nursing) you have to have integrity on the job as well as some form off of it. Like when I'm a nurse I am going to leave the building still a nurse. I have stated that I am not going to in other posts, but I just wa...

Exactly! When I was a CNA I NEVER had anxiety problems when I was actually working with my residents. Just because this happened in school doesn't mean it will happen in the real world. I'm sure anyone who works in direct patient care would alert oth...

Will do! Thank you.

$60? Where did you get it for that? I was looking at this one, actually, a week or so ago on Amazon. It has good reviews, but it's $142.95 there. D:

I would use my phone but like I said in my initial post it runs out of battery quickly. And, yes of course, I will be finding out my college's policies on recording as well as the individual instructors. Thank you for your reply.

Oh wow. I don't have anything to offer. I just wanted to say I'm so sorry that happened to you. I have panic attacks so I know where you are coming from. I really hope you figure something out.

They REQUIRE you to bring a laptop? Oh my...Hmm. Just curious what if one of your classmates didn't have a laptop or couldn't afford one? I will take a look at those topics though! Thank you.

I def will ask before recording. That's a good idea about the laptop but I think I may need to buy a new battery. My runs out when I don't have it plugged in. Lol I'm not sure I would feel comfortable taking my laptop anyways. It's a gaming laptop (l...

I second this. I have hypothyroidism and it makes me so sleepy when I'm under treated! Wouldn't hurt to talk to your doc just to see if anything is going on. I mean it would be worth it imo. I am currently under treated and have fears that I am going...

Hello all! I know in my other posts I put a bit of background about myself, but I will do it here as well for maybe a better understanding on my situation. I've known I wanted to be a nurse since I worked in a nursing home when I was 16. I tried to ...

Nice idea but that doesn't look cheaper than community college. o.O (At least the community college near me is cheaper.) Plus you can't get fin aid from them. Edit: I just checked to make sure I was right. My community college (Ivy Tech) is $140.61/a...

Thank you all so much for your replies! @Wiggly Litchi I have read a lot of stuff about accreditation, and from what I can tell as long as the program is approved by the state's nursing board it's fine. I am just going to have issues if I decide to ...

Hi Luchador, thanks for replying and your advice! There is a lot of stigma with for profit schools. I'm wondering if their programs are less quality than the other schools, or it's just because of their cost? That's my impression when I read other pe...

I decided to focus on more than one college to apply to. I know Galen does the PAX. Ivy tech does the Teas. As far as study guides go...if I bought a study guide for the Teas, let's say, wouldn't the information in the guide still be relevant for the...

*Raises hand* I was a CNA and plan on getting my LPN very soon. A lot of my family and friends don't understand why I just don't go for my RN. Well I just want to be an LPN! That isn't wrong... I'm not looking to be a supervisor or to be in charge of...

I am reading through this thread after I posted, and I did sound kind of judgey. How you worded your initial post was a little misleading imo. Protip if you ever decide to go back into ltc full time - make sure you know the CNA to resident ratio befo...

Future LPN student, here, and past CNA who has worked at a couple of different nursing homes. I love ltc and that is what I'm going to do when I'm an LPN. That being said..ltc isn't for everyone. It sounds like it isn't for you... My experience in ...

Hi all! I have been waiting to be a nurse since I was 16. I'm 30 now, and I'm tired of letting things get in my way. So I'm looking into colleges, and I have come across ATA College. Practical Nursing Programs | Louisville, KY | ATA College I have be...
