ChristiHamm8 CNA

Seems perfectly reasonable to me. I am taking A&P 1, micro, and bio 2 with statistics and comp 2 next semester in order to get into the Fall 2017 program. I will probably be working as a CNA on weekends and managing my family of 5 :) I know I wi...

I just turned 30 and started my prerequisites. I do get comments "you seem just like a regular student!" but it's no big deal. I feel like waiting this long only gives you a more seasoned approach to the field. If I had started nursing school when I ...

You really need to talk to your advisor or an advisor in the program on what their requirements are. Our school only lets you retake a prerequisite science class once and you have to maintain a C in those classes after that you are no longer eligible...

I think it seriously depends on the class, the teacher, and your ability to maintain the knowledge. For my classes now, I don't study every day, I study for the biology tests maybe for two days prior and consistently do work and reading, my psych cla...

Does anyone have a favorite planner for students? I am wanting to order one for 2017. This is the shop I bought the one I have now but I am not really a fan. I have the family planner because when I bought it I was not in school. I like the size and ...

College of Coastal GA has an ASN, and prelicensure BSN. You also have FSCJ and UNF. FSCJ is more competitive because they have more applicants but the program is not as good as the other two. UNF is highly selective and is a 5 semester nursing progra...

I agree with another person. I am an older student and people don't tend to relate to me in my classes. I found more friends and study partners in the tutoring sessions than in class. Although it is nice to have friends, you are also in a profession ...

So I am cramming in my sciences ( A&P 1 and micro) for my prereq's next semester because I was told I was only 9 classes away from applying to the BSN program. Come to find out the summer program will only allow me to take one of my final two sci...

I am now going for bsn again! I made it work for my classes and financially! Today is a good day!!

UPDATE: I was able to get my schedule adjusted and I will now be able to take Biology 2, A&P 1, and microbiology as well as math and an online english in SPRING! The schedule works for my family too. My husbands job is being incredibly gracious a...

I loved sociology but I think Psychology is better for nursing.

I definitely have to check that out!!

I have a 3.17 accumulative but that is with 62 transferring credits and a dual associates in a related field. I was also a stay at home mom to two which expanded to three during the midst of all that. I don't beat myself up about it and have already ...

I few years back I thought I had to be an L&D nurse and then become a CNM. At this point I just want a job lol! I honestly don't know if I want to settle into a specialty for a few years unless something was impossible to pass up. I love everythi...

I definitely will! I hope it lasts because some of the time I will use it like crazy for a week or two and then forget about it. With the 5 classes I will taking in Spring I really need something to keep it together!

They actually emailed me and told me about their website and I ended up customizing and ordering a student planner! Should be here this week!

mindofmidwifery, CNA My thoughts exactly. I could either put my family in overwhelming debt or come out virtually student debt free. Plus the market is the same for ASN and BSN nurses in my area.

I was going for BSN, however I could not make the summer classes work in my favor to get my last science so I will be applying for the ASN. They only have FALL entry to their nursing program or I would wait. I have been working every channel to try t...

I am now going to apply in February!!! Im so excited/nervous!!!

Yeah, it's not easy to find a CC with a pre-licensure BSN that is why I was so thrilled with this college plus its only $100 per CH! I think I made up my mind that I will be doing the ASN instead. I will be able to gain experience as a CNA while in t...

I am at the local community college now. I did some research and it looks like I can try to do a class from University of Phoenix which should count. The only issue is I will now be looking at 3k for childcare, 1500 for the extra class, maxing out my...

I honestly feel like I would be a jack of all trades and try everything until something sticks. L&D, ICU, ER, OR, NUERO, PSYCH, GERI, AND ALL OF THE ABOVE. I think I would probably be the only person who would enjoy floating around and trying eve...

I'm in classes now and I finished a dual associates in 15' with healthcare mgt. and a human services. I'm on a limited time frame because of my husbands work. I have a 3 year window where I can get help with the kids if I have to take clinicals for l...

I have a whole thread lol As of this moment: A&P 1 Microbiology comp 2 Quantitative Reasoning Intro to Human Development

I'm taking 5 classes in spring: 2 sciences, a math, a psych, and an English. Then during summer I was supposed to finish up my last four classes (2 sciences, math and English) so that I would be eligible for the BSN program in Fall. Summer class sche...
