1. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

   Tim92 replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio

   Hello! I have been working as a nurse aide (STNA) for the last 3 years and I think it's time for me to take the plunge to go to nursing school. I have been looking at the Cincinnati State LPN program for a while now. Can anyone give me up to date inf...

2. i am going to be starting CNA classes soon!!

   Tim92 replied to just_keepswimming's topic in CNA/MA

   1. I think my class to become an aide was about 3 weeks in total beginning to end. 2. I don't remember how many questions were on the test, but it was fairly simple. Pay attention in class and study and you'll pass with no problem! 3. I think my cl...

4. I was fired from my first CNA job after four months, I feel cheated...

   Tim92 replied to Fortsucc's topic in CNA/MA

   The logic in your story is ridiculous to me! I'm very sorry this happened to you. However, as someone said earlier, it's better it happened fairly early on (4 months) then if you were there longer. It's a shame your supervisors would not even give yo...

5. EMT school before LPN?

   Tim92 replied to Tim92's topic in LPN/LVN

   Thank you all for your replies. After reading these replies I think since I feel LPN is more suited for me, I'm going to continue working as a CNA until I begin school for LPN and forget the EMT training. Also, I'm going to take math classes since ma...

6. I dread going to work everyday!

   Tim92 replied to FutureLPN16's topic in CNA/MA

   You're not alone! Trust me! We all have our good (and great) days, and we all have awful days. I work the night shift so most of my shifts go really well, but regardless some times it can be overwhelming. Especially when we are short staffed. Just re...

7. 3 day orientation?

   Tim92 replied to Raven.poe's topic in CNA/MA

   I remember during my 3 day orientation the first two days I shadowed an employee then the third day I did most of the tasks but they shadowed me and would help me up if I got confused or had problems. Also, the three day orientation was not enough fo...

8. I did it!

   Tim92 replied to Donna2011's topic in CNA/MA

   Congratulations! I've been an aide for two years and I work at an assisted living, too! You'll love it!

9. EMT school before LPN?

   Tim92 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I am 22 years old and I have been debating on what to do with my career for years. I've been going back and forth between becoming an LPN or Paramedic for a long time. I'm currently a CNA. Now, I have decided to enroll in an LPN program next year. Ho...

10. which math to take

    Tim92 replied to aperry05's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Statistics is getting to become a general requirement for your BSN so I suggest you take it now to get it over with. Good luck!

11. LPN or ADN?

    Tim92 replied to VanessaBlueEyes's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with what a lot of the poster are saying. However, I am leaning on doing what you thought - going to get my LPN first then get my RN later when I have a few years of experence as an LPN.

12. I can not believe I passed!!

    Tim92 replied to mvm2's topic in CNA/MA

    I remember when I took my nurse aide test I thought I failed the skills portion, but I passed both the written and skills the first time. I know how excited you must feel that you passed! Congratulations!

13. what to do???

    Tim92 replied to mairyn90's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    If anyone understand your fears, it's me! I hate math and even science, but I really wanted to be a nurse. In reality, the only thing you can do is stay positive, study and understand as much material as possible. It sucks and isn't easy; I though ab...

14. One week in! So far so good!

    Tim92 replied to AlyseB's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    That is great! I'm glad you aced your first test and seem to be enjoying the first week. Just remember to study every night and keep up with the work - as long as you do that I'm sure you'll do EXCELLENT! (:

15. Pharmacology

    Tim92 replied to brownsugar35's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I would highly suggest forming a study group with some classmates or use flashcards. Reading from your book or notes can be very boring, and for me it makes information harder to retain.
