Some states like Indiana call it WAG now. Workforce Accereration Grant. You have to qualify and the amt can vary every year but it is a great program. If you get accepted (it might be a year to get in) be sure to do all the paperwork properly or y...
It was a LONG day. But not a bad one... We had orientation at the hospital this morning and got badges. In lab we did handwashing, ted hose, restraints, gloves, and ROM. Next up is 2 days of lecture then Pharm on Friday. I am fortunate, I got a ...
I am 47 and starting clinicals in a week… I didn’t want to be a nurse when I was younger.. I didn’t want any of “those female jobs” so I always worked in male dominated positions. I actually started trying to go back to get my prereqs several year...
Last time I looked, Richmond did not have a "packaged box" of books just the individual ones.. Oh about $700 worth... and we start on the 20th. Another "orientation" thing.
Your uniform won't be ready until "sometime in August"?? Wow, that would make me insane waiting for it. I guess I better get in there and get mine ordered. I was holding back waiting for funds after the huge book purchase but I don't want to be wi...

Boy do I hear ya, and I am a CNA! The talk that goes on is unacceptable. The attitude is also unacceptable. But will it change, probably not. Why? Because these are the people that they can get that will stay while the rest of us run as fast and...
I had handwashing, TPR, and haircare and wheelchair to bed. That was Cincy a year ago. Too easy and the testers were really nice. Strict but still nice and talked to me afterwards and gave me encouragement. :)
WOW!!! Those scores are wild! I had heard that if you had a 200 in previous years you were sooo in. For everyone who didn't get in this time, chin up, you can do it. If you got this far, you can continue. For the rest of you.. hang on, the ride ...
Waiting for results from Richmond... was told by a little bird that I was in.. but still scared to death... Just waiting for the envelope that I won't be able to open by myself....
I think I heard that they would be mailed for Richmond about next Wednesday or shortly after??? So relax til then, there is nothing we can do now except wait. Try to not worry too much and enjoy your time now because once we start, it is going to b...
Not sure how I am doing.. I usually get good grade but my English 112 has had multiple instructors and we only have this last one for our research paper and final. Too bad that is the majority of our grade. But Math, Adv Physiology and Med Term are...
Heard today over 300 applicants for Richmond. But I also heard that I shouldn't worry about it, looks good for me with a 210. I don't think I will stop worrying until I have the letter in my hand.
I think Richmond has 40 and 40. Last I heard Lawrenceburg had 10. Might have changed in the last few weeks. I am going to Richmond because the odds are better to get in there.
