Hello everyone! It's almost March...which means that midterms are upon us! So I'll keep it short and just answer the questions posted in the last few days.
Q: Which nursing classes are necessary for a student to complete in order to become eligible for a Patient Care Assistant position in the hospital?
A: The second year nursing students will be eligible to work as a PCA as well as pass the Clinical Nurse Assistant licensure exam at the end of this semester. The two main courses that cover this content are NUCO 2130 and NUCO 2310. NUCO 2130, Clinical and Interactive Skills I, is taken fall semester of second year and is where we learn all of our clinical skills with Reba! NUCO 2310, Intro to Nursing and Health Care Services, is our class with the clinical component where we get our first taste of being a "real nurse!" It is a medical/surgical rotation, and Anna is on the Neurosurgery floor, whereas I am on the Digestive Health Unit.
Q: Are nursing students required to take a statistics class?
A: No, Statistics is not part of the required curriculum for the BSN program. However, statistics is recommended for some nursing graduate schools. Personally, I took Biostatistics and really enjoyed it!
Hope this helps and that all those in VA are staying warm this week! What happened to 70 degrees and sunny?
