   BreBeeNeuroNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi! I'm a new CNA at 17y/o I didn't really know where to ask this so I figured here is okay, if anyone knows a better thread please direct me to it! I'm a new CNA and I applied at about 10 LTC facilities and got call backs and interviews from 3 so f...

2. New grad interested in operating room nursing

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to Nicole018's topic in Operating Room

   You definitely can't just "move" into OR nursing you need at least 1 year experience in med-surg and med-surg also usually requires 1 year experience as a nurse in general.

3. Mom and Nursing Student: What should I do? How should I do this?

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to ToJayRobin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When your husband is home, make sure he is taking care of your child so you can study. Your child is young enough that she won't notice when you are not there 24/7 it's better to do this while she and you are both young. If you have to study with her...

4. Nursing & Nuclear Medicine

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to emm13's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think there's a field in nuclear medicine specifically for nurses but you need to research that on your own. Nuclear technologists/technicians obviously do the bulk of the job so I'm not sure what a nurse would do other than educate/inform fa...

5. How do you get your first nursing job, when everyone in NY wants experience?

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to Sanhect1's topic in General Nursing

   You seem to be in a saturated job market, which is pretty common now. Your only option seems to be moving just like half of the workforce of new nurses. Try rural areas, unsaturated low-population type of places, even begin in a nursing home/rehabili...

6. Unsightly spider veins - common to Nurses?

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to deny121375's topic in General Nursing

   They're pretty common with all professions that deal with standing for long periods of time, keep trying compression socks but get a new pair of shoes (Algeria, or other heeled clog) or perhaps some gel insoles, I believe once you have spider veins y...

7. When do going back to school STOP!!

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

   I feel like OP was referring to pay promotions, not job title promotions. I don't believe she meant a CNA could get on the job training to be a nurse practitioner or anything. but I also feel OP could go back to college just to benefit from a college...

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to BreBeeNeuroNurse's topic in General Students

   Ok thank you! I won't have any other expenses because I will be living at home.

9. Possibility of paying off student loans before schooling is over?

   BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to BreBeeNeuroNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ok thank you! I did apply for state grants along with my FAFSA and I will only be taking classes 2 -3 days a week for my first year so I think I'll be able to work full time. My parents don't have a high income so I'm hoping I receive a lot of grants...

    BreBeeNeuroNurse posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am a senior in high school and I attend a Vo-tech in the afternoon for CNA training, I've been in the class since junior year because I wanted to start my health career as early as I could! I was accepted into a community college, I have to take 1...

11. I think I might be in the wrong field

    BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to ptrang1987's topic in General Students

    If you don't like it go with plan C! It's better to drop out now than later.

12. Is it possible to pay off student loans before finishing school?

    BreBeeNeuroNurse posted a topic in General Students

    I am a senior in high school and I was wanting some opinions on how possible this might be. I'll be graduating with a CNA certification and clinical experience so I am hoping to find a job soon after high school. I'll be going to school part time fo...

13. New on Here....

    BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to iam_kathryne's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Just my opinion, I'm not sure if I'm answering your question or not, but I think going into Lpn first is a good idea for you if you don't think RN is a good route for you right now, working as a cna and getting your Lpn will also be cheaper for you i...

14. Your opinion on degrees.

    BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to Kaitybar7's topic in General Nursing

    I really see no difference in cc degrees to large university degrees other than pass rates and other things, cc is evolving and In my opinion is a smart choice for a working mother. smaller class sizes, cheaper tuition and such is a smart route. It's...

15. Your opinion on degrees.

    BreBeeNeuroNurse replied to Kaitybar7's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's always a better idea to get your asn first and then get employed. Getting yourself too far in debt too early when you could assistance is bad. Assistance would be ideal but if you can't get it then at least working and saving for your bs...
