3. Help with a few questions

   condanchri replied to Meterre's topic in Washington

   Okay, now I get what you're saying (I thought there was a chance I was reading it wrong :)). During my LTC clinical, I thoroughly enjoyed and was constantly amazed at the constant learning going on by the residents - I agree that any type of narrow-...

   condanchri replied to Meterre's topic in Washington

   "Look at real life. Have you seen anyone in that age-range using a cell phone? Did they learn anything new in order to use it?" I could be reading into your comment above, and if that's the case, then I apologize ahead of time. My 77 year old father...

5. CNA programs-HELP!

   condanchri replied to mrsb04's topic in Washington

   I recently completed Kamanga's day program, and I have to agree with Kendra. There were definitely parts of the course that were unorganized, and there were several times where I was frustrated. If your goal is to work in Long Term Care, then Kaman...

   Just so you know, this is a REALLY old thread - the daughter graduated from her BSN program LAST year. I agree with you re: BSN programs though.

   Congratulations on your daughters graduation (which, by now, should have already happened)!!! I'm so glad she took advantage of the BSN - wherever she ends up!

8. Left after 1 quarter of nursing school, now having second thoughts...

   condanchri replied to condanchri's topic in General Students

   Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and advice. I'm going to be doing some job shadowing at a few area hospitals over the next few weeks/months to see if I can get a better idea of what to expect in a career in nursing. I think I will apply...

   condanchri replied to condanchri's topic in General Students

   Thanks for your reply, caliotter3 (cute name & pic, by the way!). The plus is that the BSN school I will hopefully be applying to is the 4-year school I started at out of high school (but never finished), some 20 plus years ago! I guess I'll fi...

    condanchri posted a topic in General Students

    Before you read on, please know that I did do a thorough search of this site to see if there was any relevant information for my particular situation (I came up empty). I was FINALLY accepted into a local ADN program last Spring. I got through the ...

    condanchri replied to fegleyb's topic in Washington

    Congratulations Lilygirl!!! My only advice is to make sure you get all your requirements done early (shots, auto insurance info, cpr card, etc.) and it would probably be good to brush up on your medical terminology (as I told Nathan below). That was...

    condanchri replied to fegleyb's topic in Washington

    Nathan, No, I did not work, but I have three children whom my husband and I homeschool - so I would guess that might add up to a full-time job. I do have several classmates who worked during the program - these are very dedicated people who are extr...
