Hello all!

Currently I cannot go to nursing school until January(7 months from now) *sigh* so I have no idea what to do this upcoming fall to keep myself occupied besides working. I thought about taking a CNA class. I've never taken a semester off so I have no idea what I'm going to do. Help!

Have you already got accepted? Enjoy your break as much as you can cause you'll rarely get a break in nursing school (I've heard).

Not really. I took the TEAS V for one school and didn't score high enough. So I tested out of the deadline for fall and admissions told me I can retest and then test again in June for January 2014. I plan on starting to study again but I've just been giving my brain a little break for now.

I applied October 2012 didn't get my acceptance letter until April 6th. I will start my ADN September 3rd. My last class was August 2012. So, I just decided to work a lot while I can. Good luck to you. I already have my CNA since 2004, but I highly recommend it, it will give you great healthcare experience :)

I took a CNA class in high school but didn't get certified because it wasn't for me :/ I cant apply to my BSN program until February -_-. Good luck! :up:

So it seems like the best route is to just work and wait it out and enjoy life while I can lol

I'm in the same boat as you, I decided to get certified in Phlebotomy and EKG. It'll help out when NS starts.

I thought about doing that too but everyone was like just enjoy your free time while you can. So I'll probably just work a lot lol
