    Any CNA's out there?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't even remember how long it was lol maybe an hour. It was done in front of one of their proctors and then whichever student I was performing the skill on. I usually see CNA classes cost between...

    Any CNA's out there?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Ohio but I took the CNA course in Minnesota. I took the course through a nursing home for free in exchange for working there for a year. The course and workload weren't too bad. I enjoyed it,...

    I wore normal clothes to orientation and so did mostly everyone else I saw. It was too early to try and look professional imo. I think I wore a hoodie and

    Any CNA's out there?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVE postpartum! It's definitely a huge change from the ER but I enjoy the atmosphere and caring for moms and babies. Depending on where you live, hospital CNA jobs are super competitive but I...

    I know there have been posts about this before but I just need a straightforward, clean cut answer. What are the pros and cons of going for LPN before

    Nursing student weekend warrior, how realistic?

    mindofmidwifery replied to nurselili30's topic in General Students

    I always set my schedule up to where I work on the weekends (24-36 hours/week) and go to school and work on school stuff during the week. My grades aren't the best but I'm passing and I don't have any...

    What is the Pre-Nursing and Nursing School Schedule Like?

    mindofmidwifery replied to cameron5575's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Throughout my prereqs I took majority of my courses online. My science courses, most of them were M/W or M/T/W in the morning. i.e., last Spring I took math for 8 weeks then stats for 8 weeks and took...

    Just received my syllabus for this summer! For one class it seems pretty intense; an exam every other week. Hopefully with it being fast paced, this summer will go by quickly

    mindofmidwifery replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking my last non nursing course this summer, physiology :) I'm so happy but so nervous at the same time. I can't recall ever taking a summer class so I'm worried I won't be able to keep up even...

    Do C's get degrees?

    mindofmidwifery replied to melsothavy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had three or four C's when I got accepted into nursing school. I had a 2.7 GPA and my school's acceptance system is based on first come/first served as long as the student meets the

    mindofmidwifery replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start on the 29th and the semester ends on August 7th. But yes!! I'm a little nervous because people say that phys is so much harder than anatomy. I didn't think anatomy was too bad but I can't...

    What to do for the summer?

    mindofmidwifery replied to futureRN_'18's topic in General Students

    I'll be working to save up for Autumn semester and taking physiology. I'll probably also learn Swift (programming language) and continue self-studying

    Survive as Cna in nursing school?

    mindofmidwifery replied to ChiefFaith's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know you want to be independent but really, the best option is to stay at your mom's until you graduate. Nursing school is hard and having the luxury of not having to work sounds like a dream to me....

    How do I get an entry level PCT job?

    mindofmidwifery replied to harps45's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Unfortunately, you'll most likely have to get a year of experience first. I had to work for a year in a LTC facility before any hospital would call me

    mindofmidwifery replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That actually sounds easier than the typical "what would you do in this situation" scenario questions. If you get through to the next step, will you be interviewing with a hiring manager next? That's...

    mindofmidwifery replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, I'm just now seeing this. I've had a video interview like that before and it was SO WEIRD. I guess the best advice is to exude confidence, even if you're nervous. Show your enthusiasm about the...

    MDF vs. Littman

    mindofmidwifery replied to nursing_student21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After my experiences with MDFs and Littman, I would say either go Littman Classic or MDF One. Both stethoscopes are great and I do not notice any distinct difference. At that point, it is just...
