5. Classes that will help me & be beneficial to me getting into a nursing program??

   LifeIsGood76 replied to Jessika1252's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would suggest a Medical Terminology course, Human Development, maybe a Math for Health Professions type class. Also, do you know what area you want to work in when you become a nurse? If you are interested in working with children, maybe take som...

9. How to become a Lactation Consultant?

   LifeIsGood76 replied to ndobrydnik's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Don't get discouraged. There is a program through UCSD where they provide the education and help you set up your clinical hours. You don't have to work in L & D, as I am starting the program and I'm not even an RN yet. It doesn't matter what part...

10. Acute Care CNA Certification?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to SeattleJess's topic in CNA/MA

    I also have the Acute Care CNA certification. My community college where I took my CNA class also offered the Acute Care class so it wasn't very expensive. I can't say that I learned too much more than what I already knew from my initial CNA class, b...

12. CNA first or Classes?

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Rose1222's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would definitely do your prerequisites right now. If you aren't going to work as a CNA then that would be a waste of time. I am similar in age to you (37, with 4 kids) and I finished all my prerequisites, then applied to my program (you need to do...

13. State Board Test

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Aqdancer45's topic in CNA/MA

    The written test is mostly common sense. The skills is harder because many people are so nervous having to do them in front of someone. Just memorize each skill. When I did my skills test, I said every step as I did them. Just practice, practice,...

14. Day in the life of a 10p-6a Nightshift CNA please

    LifeIsGood76 replied to Autymnfyres's topic in CNA/MA

    I don't do NOC shift, but at my work, the people who do NOC shift have significantly more residents. I work PM (2:30pm-10:30pm) and usually have 8-14 residents. The NOC shift CNAs have anywhere from 18-26. I think many people assume NOC shift is q...

15. Getting frustrated job searching

    LifeIsGood76 replied to RavensNation's topic in CNA/MA

    I feel your frustration! I have been certified as a CNA since early June and have applied to every single SNF and hospital within a 50 mile radius. I've had one interview at a SNF with no luck. I am currently taking a CNA Acute Care class to hopeful...
