1. Olivet Nazarene FNP

   BeezRN replied to Mel73's topic in NP Students

   I've spoken to an admission counselor and she said the first year is all online. The second year requires about 15 hours of clinicals a week which is not much. So I intend on keeping my fulltime job through the program. I have a full time job now and...

2. Olivet Nazarene or Chamberlain MSN/FNP

   BeezRN replied to ERLaw14's topic in NP Students

   I don't doubt that Chamberlain is not a respected school. I have a few friends enrolled in the BSN program. I guess it's just a personal preference to not choose for profit schools. I looked at Resurrection university too since its non profit but the...

3. Olivet Nazarene or Chamberlain MSN/FNP

   BeezRN replied to ERLaw14's topic in NP Students

   Have you gotten any feedback in during your research? I'm not considering Chamberlain, I don't trust for profit schools. I'm really considering Olivet because their fnp program is just 24 months. All the other schools are much longer, and even though...

4. Olivet Nazarene FNP

   BeezRN replied to Mel73's topic in NP Students

   How did the program turn out? I'm interested in going there for my FNP as well and I am strongly considering it since its just 24 months long.

7. Lost, what should be the next step?

   BeezRN posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Hi everyone, I'm not really sure where this post belongs but since I'm a CNA (certified in July) I decided to post it here. I'm feeling extremely disappointed and defeated to say the least. I've had to change my plans several times because of settin...

8. New CNAs have questions or need encouragement?

   BeezRN replied to azcna's topic in CNA/MA

   thanks guys..bed pan is a great idea. Most of my residents are in isolation so they can just take bed baths. I guess i wasn't doing such an improper bed bath and thanks for giving me better ideas :)

9. New CNAs have questions or need encouragement?

   BeezRN replied to azcna's topic in CNA/MA

   How to give a proper bed bath is one of my main conerns... I know how the book describes it but most of the time (since I'm new working about 3 weeks) I'm pretty slow and I can't take forever with one resident. I end up taking forever regardless and ...

10. How do you disconnect?

    BeezRN replied to Denise7420's topic in CNA/MA

    I agree with jen, you do get slightly numb after a little time. I was like you and got attached to 2 residents during my orientation and would come home and cry because some cnas were a little mean and rough wit them. I've been told the same thing by...

11. need advice for first cna job

    BeezRN replied to BeezRN's topic in CNA/MA

    Thanks guys, made me feel better :) work has been better since I've kind of gotten to know my residents. I did work a different floor and even though I didn't feel as lost I did feel nervous since I knew none of the faces corresponding to the names ...

12. need advice for first cna job

    BeezRN replied to BeezRN's topic in CNA/MA

    Yes I'm definitely thankful for having helpful nurses and fellow CNAs. I didn't think I would after reading posts on here so I was surprised how helpful everyone is. I'm not getting paid for any extra time I spend there, that was made clear my first ...

13. need advice for first cna job

    BeezRN replied to BeezRN's topic in CNA/MA

    I had a list that had almost everything I needed to do, which is why I felt I was prepared. But at the end I was just rushing and everyone was telling me to go home that I forgot the last foley I had to empty. I was not happy with what I saw during m...

14. need advice for first cna job

    BeezRN posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hi everyone, I was hired at a nursing home full time which it took me forever to find this job. I had been looking for over 5 months and though I would've preferred a part time job since I'm in school I took the opportunity. Its better than having no...

15. Appropriate to call?

    BeezRN replied to BeezRN's topic in CNA/MA

    So i called the places i had applied to and they all just kind of blew me off. Either they never called me back or just explained that they havnt reviewed the applications and that if theyre interested then theyll call back. Im feeling hopeless becau...
