1. texting at work

   PhoenixFyre replied to questionsforall's topic in Professionalism

   I hate to say it, but I think most people these days are at work to... get paid. A lot don't think they actually have to WORK to earn that money.

2. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

   PhoenixFyre replied to morningland's topic in General Students

   Some people literally can't help it. They may be stressed/anxious, happy or sad. Doesn't matter. They cannot control the physiological reaction. This is what happens to me. Any strong emotion gets me to well up, no matter what that emotion is. U...

3. Question for nurses, nursing students, and CNA's.

   And I am truly sorry you had to do so.

4. Question for nurses, nursing students, and CNA's.

   PhoenixFyre replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon

   I think purecntry09 has some good points... but honestly I think that needs to apply to any career you choose. My mother is a phlebotomist as well, and the nonsense she has to put up with makes me happy I'm not in her shoes. Others I know in variou...

5. Question for nurses, nursing students, and CNA's.

   PhoenixFyre replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon

   Oh I agree that I proved your point. I think that SOME kind of experience is needed, especially in a field like this. But I think that telling the poster they have no common sense is harsh - that's just my take on your previous post. I'm not sure I...

6. Question for nurses, nursing students, and CNA's.

   PhoenixFyre replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon

   I think many of the suggestions above are great, but being a CNA isn't the only way to get into nursing school. I don't have a whole lot of experience in health care, per se - I've never worked in the hospital environment. What I do have is trainin...

   I need to find this FB page - I've been really busy at work and missed about 6 pages of posting!! Can someone PM me? I'm also looking for a parking spot to buy during the semesters, since I live in VA. Btw, I was at the 9/17 interview date. Anyo...

   PhoenixFyre replied to JLSELD's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My best guess is by the end of October. The application is due tomorrow, and I think we have to make our decisions about going by November 13, so it would almost HAVE to be out by then. Anyone agree?

   Well that would be great!

    I wonder if WHC will let us park in their garage for clinicals?

    Yeah, can't say that I blame you. But Metro isn't TOO bad... most days... or some days... hmm... You could live in Reston and we could carpool!

    Hehe, I'm actually from VA, right outside of DC (I work at the NIH). Phoenix for me is the mythical fire bird :) I won't have to move, but I'm not really looking forward to the commute, so I may buy a parking spot somewhere. Any ideas?

    The $70k is just tuition, nothing else. It's very high but that's one of the reasons I'm so interested in the 80% scholarship with the WHC. Also, keep in mind that only traditional undergrads get on-campus housing. The accelerated degree, grad st...
