Why don't you suggest to them to use an agency? Yeah, they're going to spend more money on an agency, but they've got to be spending more money paying nursing wages for people to do the work of a CNA....
Hah! I've been looking all around for a SPC Fall 2016 post, and here it is! I currently have a 4.0, but I'm taking Micro and A&P 2 this semester (spring 2015). There are a couple of days between...
Some people are rude because people ask questions that could be solved with a simple google search, or simply searching AllNurses itself. Also, a lot of people tend to ask questions that only their...

I was/am in the same boat. I had to wait a year after getting my BA after I moved for in state tuition because I could not afford out of state. Then I had two semesters to do my prereq science classes...
Even if they are older editions, it never hurts to ask your teachers if you can use older editions. I did this all the time for my bachelor's and nine times out of ten they said I could use the older...
It really depends on your state certifying body. Some states require that you work as a CNA for a certain number of hours to maintain the license. Ask your state certifying body (usually the board of...
You can complete labs online. Both of my A&P courses were online and labs were online and they were offered by the same school my nursing program will be at. It mostly comes down to making sure...
