1. How do I become a CNA at CSN?

   moneyline702 replied to whisman1's topic in Nevada

   It's quite boring. But kids were there when I attended. I'm sure the parents in the room will certainly understand.

2. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

   moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN/LVN

   I never said I could bypass anything. I know the classes needed. Aside from the general eds that I have done, I have BIOL 189 done and look forward to 223, 224 & 251. That will take a year. The only debt is out-of-pocket. I have general eds, up t...

3. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

   moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN/LVN

   If I were able to get a job as a CNA here at my current job I'd just pursue my BSN. I need more than the $12/hr I get and benefits. I can't get financial aid like I mentioned before. Since even with experience my employer won't hire me as a CNA I nee...

4. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

   moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN/LVN

   Given that I would have to do a year of prereq's before I get into RN school the LPN route seems better economically. I do have a CNA license but my current employer won't hire me as one. And yes, I do have over a year experience as a CNA in SNF's an...

   Now if only I can get the Medical Terminology class in this upcoming Spring and take the TEAS soon I'll be set for Fall 2012 to start LPN school at CSN.

6. CNA jobs in Las Vegas

   moneyline702 replied to Optimom's topic in Nevada

   I've been grateful to have worked as a CNA in SNF's. I also had work at UMC as well. The market is hard here for EVERYONE regardless of title in health care. CNA, LPN or RN the road is tough everywhere.

7. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

   moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in LPN/LVN

   Nevada doesn't use medication aides. However, there was talks about expanding the role of the CNA (for which I'm already certified). Now the $16/hr for CNA is only in hospitals. The SNF's are paying at most $11.25/hr to start. I've applied for every...

8. Is becoming an LPN worth it in my case?

   moneyline702 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I am a hospital sitter. I make $12/hr there and no benefits. Since they won't hire me as a CNA I have to cultivate more options. A CNA here (Nevada) makes $16/hr. I know that LPN's are primarily in skilled nursing here in town and I'm ok with that. A...

9. Is becoming an LPN here still worth it?

10. How do I become a CNA at CSN?

    moneyline702 replied to whisman1's topic in Nevada

    The 7 week course is over summers. Online with ------- is the best. It is wise to inquire as to what clinical class is associated with a particular site. I got lucky in that my clinical was a half mile from my home.

11. CSN Nevada LPN 2011

    moneyline702 replied to moneyline702's topic in Nevada

    Best of luck to you both. I guess the LPN program isn't as popular. Bully for us. I'll take that and run with it.

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Nevada

    Anyone applying to CSN's LPN program for 2011 (Fall)? I am and wish everyone the best of luck and hope to see some of you there in classes (assuming I get in too, lol) Only got 14/19 points though (1 for CNA license, 1 for working, 2 for TEAS and 10...

14. Medical school vs Nursing School

    moneyline702 replied to faraday68's topic in General Students

    For as much as you say they are equal yet different you fail to state that the "working with people" and "working with data" aspects of the job are in fact interchangeable. A better statement would be "If you enjoy working with people and being on a ...

    moneyline702 posted a topic in Correctional

    I applied for a CNA position at a medium security correctional facility. This was in August of 2010. I received a phone call first week of April asking if I was still interested and I said yes. Had an interview and 3 weeks later was offered a positio...
