Currently enrolled at a CC getting my pre-req's for my nursing degree. I want to get my ADN then bridge to BSN. I work as a CNA soon to be taking a PCT course!!!

  1. Horrified at what I have seen go on in this nursing home

    Let me just say I worked in a nursing home for 2 years before getting a job at the hospital. It was horrid. For me, it wasn't only how the residents were treated (by some nurses and techs, not all were bad). And I reported a LOT. Any time I reported ...
  2. If I go for my ASN now, can I go back later to get a BSN?

    I'm getting my associates in nursing and the hospital I'm working at as a CNT said that after I get my ADN I can work as an RN there and if I decide to bridge to a BSN they will pay for it if I sign a contract to stay there for X amount if years.
  3. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    Right now I have 50 Shades of Grey downloaded on my phone and I am reading it. Yep. Not gonna lie. I'm addicted.
  4. Took a Break

    Don't get yourself too down. I have been out of high school for four years. I have only taken one semester of college courses (which I have to retake to boost my GPA. I am going back after not taking any classes for two years. It can be done. I will ...
  5. BSN versus ADN

    Thanks for all the opinions. I am most likely going for my BSN (wish I could change my user name lol). It'll be worth it in the end, I'll spend almost as much time in school for either. Plus BSN will look better. Not to mention the money! I would rat...
  6. CNA jobs and the distance it takes to get to them!

    Where I live, places are always hiring CNAs. Whether its LTC, home health, or hospice. It may not always be glamorous but my LTC facility is so desperate for CNAs (we are ALWAYS short, every shift), they have an ad in the newspaper for new CNAs.
  7. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    And I agree, if that is the worst part of the job in the past 5 months, count your blessings. I'm a CNA and I wish the worst was someone's reading material. I really do...
  8. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    At least they aren't using their call light as a sex toy (yes, that has happened to me lol).
  9. BSN versus ADN

    Okay so I would like opinions. I know I for sure want to be an RN but torn if I want to get my BSN or ADN. Judging by the schools in this area the only ADN school I want to attend is a private Catholic one that is 7500/ semester. They have a great re...
  10. When Do You Start Fall Semester?

    The CC I'm attending has classes officially starting the 25th (Saturday) but that's for online classes. My classes start the 27th I am beyond excited to knock a few more pre-req's out!!! Good luck to everyone in the coming semester :)
  11. Has anyone ever worked as a CNA while going to nursing school full time?

    I'm not in nursing school yet but I plan to continue working as a CNA until I finish. I had one friend who worked during nursing school every Sunday (6a-6p) and most Saturdays (6a-6p) until she got through nursing school and she said it was difficult...
  12. Ughhhh oh my gosh I know!!!! Some of these CNA's that think they are nurses and a few LPN's I work with think they are doctors. Those are the absolute worst!!! Then a few nurses think they are physical therapists saying we need to walk someone down t...
  13. nightmares

    The facility I am at I worked out for a year before. I quit and went to work at a hospital (a month into my employment at the hospital I had to have an emergency oophorectomy and couldn't work for 6-8 weeks so they "filled my position" because FMLA d...
  14. Throw it on the floor?!

    I have been guilty of throwing stuff on the floor, I'm not gonna lie. Now I carry small trash bags and put diapers in the bags and with linens, I roll them up (clean side out) and put it on the foot of the bed until I can put it in the linen barrels....
  15. CNA + medical assisant

    I would not suggest MA. Everyone I have known to take an MA program has not been able to find a job. They are mostly hired in doctor's offices. I am a CNA and one girl I work with went to an MA program and couldn't find a job as an MA so she is still...
