2. Burnout?? Help!

   bizzylizzy3 replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in CNA/MA

   The people are fun! I am continually surprised by the things they say. I have been on all shifts now, and day shift is what works best for me. I would like to work in the hospital, but it seems such a daunting process to get in. I've never worked any...

3. Burnout?? Help!

   bizzylizzy3 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I feel a sense of dread about work lately. I know that it is always about the same. I have tried moving to a different facility, but that only helps for a little while. I'm so frustrated, I have a medication aide license, and I do that job prn, but I...

4. Inability to make a decision..is this what depression and anxiety do?

   bizzylizzy3 replied to Marshall1's topic in Stress 101

   My first instinct is to say stay where you are. It even seems you want that from what you've written. It isn't that you don't know what to do. You've laid it out right here. The other job that pays more is not ideal because of the reasons you have al...

5. Need encouragement

   bizzylizzy3 replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in CNA/MA

   I have been trying assisted living. I do not own a car, so home health may not be an option for me. It seems that the hospitals all want 1+years of experience. What is a veteran home? I will not give up.

6. Need encouragement

   I have been looking for a CNA position for over a year. I have had a few interviews, have applied with both my clinical sites, and never heard anything back from them. Recently, I had an interview that went really well. I liked the people, they liked...

   bizzylizzy3 replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I like your process! I think I will treat this like a homework assignment and see how far I get. I will take A-D and treat them like questions for the assignment. Thanks.

8. Essay: Why nursing?

   bizzylizzy3 replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks so much! You are certainly right about the subject being at the front of my mind. It seems that I must write about that before I write about anything else! I think that it is one of the reasons I want to be a nurse though, I want to help peopl...

9. Essay: Why nursing?

   bizzylizzy3 replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you for your input. I totally understand #1. I will look at the creativity angle. #3 Seems difficult. I will give it some espresso-charged thought. I am not sure I understand how to do the fourth suggestion. Do you mean " I want to be a nurse b...

10. Essay: Why nursing?

    bizzylizzy3 replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you so much! I did think that maybe the horror story about my grandfather might be a bit much. I did want to emphasize caring for unpleasant people though. I will re-read the essay, and try to eliminate the clichés, as you suggest. The hardest ...

11. Essay: Why nursing?

    bizzylizzy3 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am working on an essay for an LPN program application. I know I am taking a risk by posting it here, it might really suck, you guys might say: "How is this relevant to why you want to be a nurse?" But I am really hoping I can get some good feedback...

12. CNA skills exam - This is driving me crazy!!!

    bizzylizzy3 replied to yugot2h8's topic in CNA/MA

    I certainly wish you the best and hope that you pass. We all make mistakes in such a nerve-wrecking situation. My personal example: It had been more than a year between the CNA class and the time I took my skills exam. I had studied my self-made flas...

13. Nervous about applying for nursing programs!

    bizzylizzy3 replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks hodgieRN. I take full responsibility for my performance on the HESI. I studied very hard for the math portion, because it is my worst subject. I did not study at all for the Biology portion, and I rushed through that part too. It is the only s...

14. Nervous about applying for nursing programs!

    bizzylizzy3 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I began my journey to nursing school in September 2009. I have been taking pre-reqs and worrying about grades, money, housing and lots of other things since then. I have a couple of different nursing school apps in a folder, and have done some of the...
