1. Trying to avoid undesirable CNA duties

   mariamsally replied to girtenbt's topic in CNA/MA

   Ummmm, Maybe you should look for another line of work, please. The world does not need any nurses/cna's like you. You are not above caring for a fellow human being, and I could-not-care-less what kind of program, or work you have done. You are NOT...

   From a happy CNA who is waiting for nursing school entrance: If you cannot handle the racist/sexist/downright gross comments, get spit on yelled at, called "bit$%" and worse, then DO NOT WORK IN LTC...... You Must have a sense of humor and realize t...

4. Opinions Please: LPN school now or wait for RN school

   mariamsally replied to mariamsally's topic in LPN-RN

   Hi All, The LPN to RN programs around here do not require you repeat anything. I think I will go with my gut and the wonderful advice here and do LPN to RN. Life does happen, as I well know.I originally went to go for my RN at Hunter College in Manh...

5. Opinions Please: LPN school now or wait for RN school

   mariamsally posted a topic in LPN-RN

   Dear Community, I would love to have some honest input related to a few questions. Question # 1: Is it better to go ahead and do LPN school, which I can start this fall, then continue on to my RN after my LPN; or wait until a spot in RN program open...

6. Think CNAs will pick up LPNs duties in hospitals?

   mariamsally replied to lina.561's topic in CNA/MA

   Hey guys we are all in this together. CNA's will NEVER get more $$$$$. I've been an aide for a while now while waiting to get into nursing schools (another story, and me with a 3.9 GPA, great references, etc. - D&*M wait lists!) anyway, they ke...

7. Older Nursing students

   mariamsally replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

   Hi, I'm 47 and have applied to a bunch of private schools, and am on the waitlist for 2. I am in class with a 52 and 54 year old, (for the pre-reqs) There is no such thing as "too old". It's a fallacy and a waste of energy worrying about it. How...

8. CNAs, LPNs, RNs and Pumps and Pearls Please Advise

   mariamsally replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, I'm a working CNA while in nursing school, and I'm just appalled at your post. However, I am not surprised. I work day shift, in the hardest unit in the entire building. I and most of the CNA's on day shift work our butt off. We are the hardes...

10. Will I ever find a CNA job?

    mariamsally replied to Shannon82's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am a new CNA - working as a CNA while on the wait list for nursing school. The previous advice about talking directly to the manager is good advice. However, be aware that hospitals want their CNA's to have at least one year of experience. I ...

11. Becoming a Nurse the Hard Way

    mariamsally replied to twistedpupchaser's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing. At 46 I FINALLY decided to go back to what I always wished to do, which was nursing. I'm on the wait list for LPN - then RN as my ultimate goal. I decided LPN to RN since the wait list is much shorter for LPN, and shorter stil ...

12. Would It Be Better To Be A Lpn First, Then Go For Rn?

    mariamsally replied to wannabaRN's topic in LPN-RN

    Hi-reading this thread with interest. I am on the wait list for LPN, which is one to two years. RN wait list here is 4 years. I needed to re-take all my bio classes, since they are all over 7 years old. I am 46 and just got my certification as a ...
