I am currently taking pre requisites towards the Nursing program at Springfield Technical Community College, I have taken A&P 1, and 2 and got a 4.0 in them currently taking Microbiology. Anyone recommend any other classes to take? and what is t...

I am fairly new to Nursing I'm a sophomore in a BSN program currently on winter break and spent most of my vacation working at an Acute Rehab Hospital in my town it's fairly new well brand new opened in 2014 it's all one floor rooms start at 101 but ...

I have been with these forums for a while, back before I was a CNA or even a Nursing Student, and right now I'm a Sophomore in a Nursing Program in Massachusetts, and have been working as a Rehab Nursing Tech for the last year, the program is challen...

It's crazy hearing all this talk about how hard it is to find the job you want, and how the field is saturated it makes me glad that I live in Massachusetts, there is always tons and tons of jobs for all shifts, per diem part time full time with exce...

I think everyone going into nursing should be a PCT / CNA get that direct patient care out of the way, because if you enjoy it then you would enjoy nursing. I know someone that's going into the nursing program and they inquired about a job at the ho...

Hit them with a solid cover letter, I am so glad I got to skip working at a Nursing home and went straight to an acute rehab hospital. Read the Mission Statement most of them are equal and talk about patient centered care, as well as evidence based ...

That's great to hear! I've heard nothing but great things about the program, STCC wait listed me but AIC took me in as a sophomore, which to me is a lot better and possibly a lot cheaper than to go a RN to BSN route. I saw one of your posts I am 22 ...

Hello everyone it's been a while since I posted but I have just recently been accepted into A.I.C. BSN program and am transferring in as a sophomore, also received two scholarships to attend the school, I ended up picking AIC over my community colleg...

I have my CNA skills test coming up this Thursday, and was hoping some people would give me some recent insight on what is involved in the skills test, preferably if anyone from Massachusetts has taken it, I have been practicing and studying for a wh...

Just applied got a 75 on my TEAS went in without studying, along with 4.0 in A&P 1, 2 and a B+ in micro, also submitted my cna and hha certificate, hope I get in, my math is what is worrying me haven't taken algebra 2 in a while and didn't do s...

Was there alot of public speaking involved during school? Also I just finished up my CNA course through the red cross, just had clinicals in a dementia unit, was thrown in there had to figure alot on my own but overall I enjoyed the work

I'm considering signing up for the CNA course offered by the Red Cross which features the following program highlights... http://www.redcross.org/images/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m37040302_cna_w_ma_orientation_flyer.pdf_812.pdf http://www.redcross....

I am currently on track to starting the Nursing Program in Fall of 2016, I would love to work in the E.R. after I become an RN, But till then I was thinking about taking a class and becoming either a CNA or EMT, Which one would be better to take? I s...

Thanks for the information, I have just heard some bad stories from Nursing Homes and wanted to do more but I guess we all have to start somewhere, and I just looked into ER Techs in hospitals near me almost all say CNA required and CPR so I will pro...

As someone who has not been accepted into the program yet, but have the highest hopes in doing so for the Fall 2016 semester, I was wondering where everyone works now, and if they plan on staying at their current job until they start the program, or ...

Pleased to announce I will be partaking in a 7 week CNA / CPR course through the American Red Cross in my region, this is what the program includes... NAT curriculum exceeds both federal minimum and State of MA standards curriculum requirements+ All...

Have you taken A&P 1 and 2 yet I'm wondering if those classes that I have completed count towards an accredited CNA program

Thanks for the advise I'm definitely going to look into it, I passed A&P 1 and 2 already so I think those would be knocked off for a CNA program right?

So I am only taking Microbiology this semester cause of all the classes I have knocked out of the way already I can't do much until, I'm in the actual nursing program would you recommend getting my Aid or CNA certification, is it worth it?

I haven't taken it yet, but will be soon, did you buy the whole package that came with the study guide and the test? it is really expensive I think over $200 f

You can only obtain an ADN from a community college but a lot of schools offer continuing education to get your BSN and set you up for an easy transfer over to a four year school, mine does that But I would knock out any class you can take at your co...

I already have a degree in CJ so pretty much every class i took is mindless now Criminal Law, Criminal Investigation, Technical Report writing, at least it knocked off some classes for my ADN in nursing like my psych, english and math, If i get my AD...

Someone else had a similar topic, I took A&P 1 and 2 during the summer so 8 weeks Monday - Thursday 5-9 pm it was hell but I got a 4.0 in both classes, lab included important thing is pay attention to the professors notes the most and read those ...

Bro the title of RN is worth more than any girl yet, when my girl and me split it actually gave more motivation I hit the books and the gym hard, but I still also found time to go out which I think is vital, you need to have a balance and enjoy yours...

I feel like I'm on the same boat as you are i'm 22 also have a degree, I wanted to do nursing when I was about 19, but let my fear of social anxiety and public speaking stop me, so i took the easy route and got a degree in criminal justice. It just ...
