  1. It's been a long while since I've posted on the site, life has been quite hectic. I'm still working towards becoming an RN, just.. slowly at this point. I'm currently in school for Medical Administration, since I already have a pretty extensive backg...
  2. After talking to family for a while on what I'm going to do (money/job-wise) while I'm in school full-time, I've come to a crossroads. I've been looking for jobs for the past couple of months, had a few interviews but to no avail. I've been looking a...
  3. Oh, also! I thought I'd mention - most of the threads I've seen on PCT programs are generally 8-12 week courses or so.. this is a 10 month program. I'm not sure how they're stretching out a 12 week program into 10 months, but it seems that's how it i...
  4. We live in the Tampa area, PCT gets around the same here. I've done a lot of research over the past couple years on Nursing professions and I'm glad she's interested in going back to school, I just don't think she took the time to figure out what she...
  5. A friend of mine became interested in Nursing after I sort of found my calling for it. I decided I really wanted to become an RN, I'm currently enrolling into a community college so I can start working towards the RN program. My friend, actually she'...
  6. heartless DON or reality check?

    The DON seems very out of line. It's not easy to work at your normal level with such a mental burden weighing on you. If the DON knew such news could affect her performance they should have let the poor CNA take her leave, or at minimum given her the...
  7. Starting to burn out

    Sounds like a bit of an overload to me. I can only imagine the stress. I say consider finding another floor if you really enjoy where you work. Do what you have to do; you can't be at your absolute best as a nurse if you're not able to take care of y...
  8. That's awesome! I'm sure you'll make a great Nurse!
  9. Great story, I'll bet you'll find the perfect position for yourself as an RN! Keep up the good work!
  10. That's wonderful! I hope more people will share stories like this!
  11. Impressive! I can relate to taking care of family as being a helping factor into becoming a nurse. Hopefully you continue to enjoy being a nurse!
  12. That's awesome. I wish more people pursued their dreams from when they were kids. Not many people have true passion towards career paths anymore.
  13. I've always been interested in Science; chemistry, biology, anthropology, all sorts. I've always felt I was destined to do something in life regarding helping people. I've always been the shoulder, or the rock, or the guiding voice for my friends, fa...
  14. Questions about PCT vs. CNA

    So, I've been interested in Nursing for almost two years now. I ended up getting an amazing job in Human Resources a while back and didn't make it to school - well, I'm once again unemployed and I've already started the enrollment process at a local ...
  15. So, here's the story: I'm 20 years old and I'm going to be challenging the CNA exam in the next few weeks after my father gets out of the hospital and settles at home. Recently, I spoke to a woman who said that she'd be willing to hire me as a CNA wi...
