schools in St. Louis

[babynurse2B]

hello fellow missourians!

just wondering if any of you are in the st. louis area? i'm just looking for some general information regarding hospitals, schools, programs, etc. i have been looking for a job that will train me to be a cna, i plan to get my asn (probably at meramec) although it looks like it's going to take me a lot longer than i planned (3 1/2 years) i'm anxious to get into the field and get a good job so if i find a good lpn program i'd probably go ahead and do that first and get my assoc. degree later. also, does anyone work at any st. louis area hospitals? i'm also looking for a scholarship program since i can't afford to pay for school. please let me know if you have any advice/input!

thanks everyone!

Hey all! I need some serious advice and help!! Okay here is my story, I am a "Junior" in college. I went to Lindenwood University from 2007-2009 and now I'm at Meremac. I have so many credits that I do not need. Anyways long story short I am still left with some classes that I need, like A&P 2, Micro , and Algebra. So I have another semester left. Anyways I am in A&P II now and I am doing absolutely horrible so I need to drop the class. I have 2 C's already in my Science courses and one B I really REALLY wanted to get my BSN within the next 2- 2 and a half years. I don't know if having your BSN and RN are really that different in pay and such? Also, I am having a huge amount of trouble finding a school that will accept me any ideas???
