1. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

   Cora_Ann replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

   Hospitals and having a BSN are not all that. You are still just as stressed and honestly will not make that much just coming out.

2. Help getting kicked out have a 4.0

   Cora_Ann replied to CXW11's topic in General Students

   I'm sorry but what does having a 4.0 have to do with it? You forgot to get a TB test and if you have ever done anything in medicine you would know that you have to have that done regardless.

3. Dealing with quadras

   Cora_Ann replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in CNA/MA

   Another helpful thing is anytime you go in there try to bring a nurse with you so they can witness what is said. I work in a similar facility and this will save you from them being able to say what you did or didn't do.

4. I'm a CNA, will I lose my license?

   Cora_Ann replied to Websterwiki's topic in CNA/MA

   You left without telling anyone!!! I'm sorry you didn't feel well, but you should have gone to the charge nurse and told them. How would you feel if someone just left and didn't say anything? If you had said something they could have worked on gettin...

5. Uniforms

   Cora_Ann replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric

   I have had to wear every color of the rainbow; right now we wear hunter green except for Friday's when we can wear what we want. Nurses normally wear royal blue

6. Did/do you work during LVN/RN school?

   Cora_Ann replied to Katherin7's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I am very fortunate that the LTC facility I work for allows me 3 eight hour days during the week and one 12 on weekends. So I work 7-3 and then have school 5:30-10:30

7. 40 and starting CNA course

   Cora_Ann replied to lorsul's topic in CNA/MA

   I have done both LTC and the hospital and honestly I would recommend you try LTC first. Because if you can make it doing that you can handle anything. I really enjoyed the hospital, but it's not all that. In LTC you can build relationships with resid...

9. Needing some advice

   Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

   Yes I know there is a big difference between a paramedic and an EMT. But you have to be an EMT before becoming a paramedic. At least where I live anyway. And I do plan on going on to that

10. Needing some advice

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

    Sorry for the lack of info! I am 27, and I live in a relatively small community. I actually went ahead and registered for my local fire houses EMT course . I will continue to work at the hospital as I do this. I am very excited to try something diffe...

11. Needing some advice

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

    No I am not already in nursing school; and yes I have done ride alongs and liked it. I am trying to decide what would be the best option. And I know in the end only I can decide that lol. I would just like to hear both sides.

12. Needing some advice

    Cora_Ann posted a topic in Emergency

    I always thought I wanted to be either and ER nurse or work in the ICU. However I have been given the opportunity to get my EMT lisence and now I am wondering if I want to take the paramedic route. I would love to hear from y'all that have done both....

14. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric

    A lot of people where I work (which btw I still do LTC PRN) have complained about this same thing. And yeah I have worked with crap CNAs which makes it hard. I also know the stereotypes of CNAs. And the responses I have got to this post have pretty m...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric
