I got into nursing school a week ago! But for anyone seeing this a while after she posted this like me - a huge piece of advice is to get a job at a hospital before nursing school. So many hospitals have so many unique positions that you dont even need a degree for. I test newborns hearing and because of this I had almost all of my innunizations done, as well as my fiit test. This saved me SO much money because the hospital I worked for paid for it all.

so i needed a pretty low level math but you may need a couple to satisfy your school’s credit hours. it’s not as hard as calculus, you’ll usually need something like pre-calc or intermediate algebra. if you want a bachelors, masters, etc you’ll need more credit hours, hence harder classes. hope that helps!
@APPLESMOUA4 жыл бұрын
If you do a BSN program, you'll most likely take Statistics, Informatics (which has math but not too much) and you'll have to fulfill lots of dosage calculations which is lots of multiplying fractions and dosages, basically you'll have to know algebra pretty well.

I talked to them and they told me how much they loved their job and I decided to take the plunge. It is actually my dream to move to California to work when I graduate! You're so lucky you live there! :)

Apply for the CNA course first. They will have you an exemption application. That's where you will have to go to the court and get the required documents. Three reference letters, and a statement letter ect. Please lookup up CNA exemption application on your states website. You do have to do a CNA program first and have your fingerprints done. They will then reject your application. That's when you will file for an exemption application. The same application is done for the RN BSN programs if you have a criminal record. So it's better to do the CNA first so you know what to expect. It's better than going through a full RN program and not knowing

It’s not like THC gets out of your system in a few days especially if you smoke it regularly like me (3-4 x a week).... I guess I’ll have to not use it for a bit if my school requires a drug test but I was curious the amount of schools who actually do it or not. It just sucks because normal medication / anti depressants don’t seem to work for me especially during panic attacks, but I need a card to prove it?:/
