1. About to start my CNA class next month :) any tips?

   pixiegalsmom replied to ladyJAYDed's topic in CNA/MA

   JAY D, You state that you are in a 4 yr nursing program already. Why then are you taking a CNA course? If you have already completed at least one clinical rotation, hospitals will snag you up in a second for a position as patient care attendant, cl...

   What a ripoff! Since Lawsons wants the ladies to wear dresses, then they should fork out the money to pay for them. That much money for one ceremony is ludacrous!

   We weren't told we had to buy the dress from LeJoy but we were told we didn't have to buy it right now either. I just bought what I needed for the moment. I've had to spend so much money this semester just entering the nursing program that anywhere...

   I'm at Bessemer in my first semester. We were fitted for uniforms last week, but I only ordered the pantsuit and thought I would see if someone who had just graduated would want to sell the dress they had for pinning. Do you know if it has to be th...

   If anyone that has graduated from here recently and has a uniform dress that they want to sell, please let me know. We had our first day of class today and were informed that for the "pinning" ceremony we will need to have a uniform dress rather tha...

   pixiegalsmom replied to shoegalRN's topic in New Nurse

   Well you must have done something right to be offered a position in ICU as a NEW GRAD. I can understand that you want to do everything right - that shows that you are a conscientious individual(a very good quality for nursing)! Things do get easier...

   If you haven't completed Anatomy II yet, I would definately recommend it. I just did and it was one of the most detailed coursed I have EVER taken. Several people dropped the class and several failed. It's a course that in order to do well you hav...

   pixiegalsmom replied to brighterfuture's topic in Alabama

   I know what you mean. I've been reading posts here for about 4-6 months and as other schools notify people to their acceptance, it seems like they've had a couple of months notice prior to the start of the program. Plenty of time to get necessary p...

    pixiegalsmom replied to brighterfuture's topic in Alabama

    Well that's not very good. When they extend invitations they should send them all at once. Granted not everyone will accept, but word gets around and those that wait patiently and still don't receive word --- it's just cruel. Also, you need time ...

    pixiegalsmom replied to brighterfuture's topic in Alabama

    Wow, you've really been immersed in this for awhile! Are you aware that Jeff State has just started a mobility program? I'm not sure how many times they admit per year and whether it's strictly a day program or not, but it might be worth looking in...

    You said in an earlier thread that you were applying for the bridge program? Are you aware that Snead State has an online lpn to rn program? I believe that clinicals are arranged by you, so if you're employed, all you would have to do would be to a...

    Do they send out acceptance letters only? Did you apply to any other programs?
