1. Mid-America Nazarene?

   ColorGreen replied to OlatheJessica's topic in Kansas

   I'm in the MNU Fall 2014 cohort looking forward to graduate this August '15, and I can only speak for myself. However, imho, one sour grape cannot speak for over thirty which make it just fine through to the very end. The program is what you make it,...

4. MidAmerica Nazarene ABSN

   ColorGreen replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in Kansas

   I received a reply early April and I was accepted for Fall 2014. I did have all mine completed, but in an email question I had sent them earlier when I was applying, they said you could apply while completing the prerequisites.

6. SEEKING ADVICE: Single Moms - How did you pay for your nursing program?

   ColorGreen replied to Accelerated BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   For my case it's true. Worked my buns off during my first B.S degree, so much so that I only applied for loans in my senior year. So I only racked about $12,000 in my last year. I was told by my advisors that for my second degree, I don't qualify for...

7. where is it more difficult to work in; skilled nursing or hospital?

   ColorGreen replied to PrettyNerd's topic in CNA/MA

   It really depends. This is my experience with both... Hospitals: Paid me more, Never cared if I did overtime. Did 3 twelve hr shifts, and had four days off. More often than not they have better, more state-of-the-art equipment. Patients don't st...

8. 2014 Wage Survey For CNAs, Medical Assistants, HHAs, PCTs: Post Here!

   ColorGreen replied to TheCommuter's topic in CNA/MA

   If you earn $25 an hour as a Home Health Caregiver, I wonder how much an RN in your area is earning. Do you know?

9. 2014 Wage Survey For CNAs, Medical Assistants, HHAs, PCTs: Post Here!

   ColorGreen replied to TheCommuter's topic in CNA/MA

   Oh wow. A Care Assistant with 2 yrs on the job makes $21.37/hr in Saskatchewan, Canada. This has to be an outlier, but again, I think there has to be some factors that elicit such high rates.

10. Affording the cost of ABSN (Mid-America Nazarene)

    ColorGreen replied to ColorGreen's topic in Kansas

    When do you think its appropriate to apply for the loans. I mean how far away before you begin your nursing program. And also, if approved, do they give you the money directly or do they forward it to the institution where you are going to study.

    ColorGreen posted a topic in Men

    I have a friend (black male) who is an LPN and has dread locks. He has had them for the last 6 years, and they are pretty long. When untied, they reach just below his shoulders. Don't get me wrong, he takes really good care of them, they are very nea...

12. How are you celebrating your acceptance?

    ColorGreen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I was too exhausted after a night shift, went to check the mail in the morning just before going home. Saw the mail from the University i had applied to and I didn't really care much, because I didn't really think I had a chance even getting accepted...

13. How are you celebrating your acceptance?

    ColorGreen replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Just imagine when you are 60 something, and and you r like, 'oh boy, why was I so worried 20 yrs ago about being so old getting back to school to be a nurse.

    Whenever folks of my age are changing careers and are wining thinking its too late in life and they are still not in a stable career, just coz I've read any of such comments in this forum (am a 28 yr male), I wish they would ready your post and reali...

    I am the type that never cooks too much. I mean I love to cook , and do so like two or three times a week. But through nursing school, I think I like the idea of cooking a whole week worth of meals on a day like sunday and packing them neatly in zip ...
