It's not about judging other cnas. It's about judging the system. And as long as people make excuse for "the system" it won't change.

Do you go to my school?! Seriously! I'm only about halfway through, though. I'm glad you made it through to graduation! I will, too!

^^^ what stephalump said! This is one way I feel that the nursing profession eats its young. Why was the student told she broke a law, but told to wait to get her punishment? She broke no law and...

I 100% echo Vivalasviejas statement!

My suggestion is to apply for cash assistance, because this will help you to qualify for help paying for day care and keeping free medical as well as good stamps, etc. they will also help you file...

That was so funny because it reflects a nursing students worst fears!!! Thanks for sharing!

Sometimes, when I hear the phrase, "nurses eat their young", I actually think they mean that the training process weeds out the compassionate. /just saying/ I say this from the perspective of...

Congratulations KaylaB! I won't be applying to the nursing program there till next year, but I am stalking this thread too, living vicariously through you all! Yeah!!!

Streaming thoughts....keep in mind, I'm just a nursing student but I am mom to 3 including 2 teens. As far as the teacher seeming to be placing the blame on you, 1st, that's inappropriate because,...

ER... I'm sorry you had a poor experience at Sac Med. I thoroughly loved my experience at Sac Med! I finished in late 2011. My background was that I had been taking nursing school prereqs for a few...

I'm in California in search of the same. In Southern California, there's a partial online program through Western Governors University. But, I'm in Northern California. I will finish LVN school in a...

I'm not sure if you need to take a Cna class, since you have completed your bsn. If you need to, check out sac med. they have short term Cna classes. When I went there, they were easy to get into and...

Pm me

I didnt click the link... Does this change also affect the GPA requirements? I ask this because at present, some csu's look at cumulative GPA, some look at nursing only and some I assume use other...

As a new CNA one and a half years ago, I received job offers for $9-$10 per hour in the Sac area. After a few months, I was offered less than $12 per hour. Keep in mind I had very little experience,...

Does anyone work while enrolled in this school. What is the schedule like and the homework like? I will be finishing my LVN program later this year and need to work while I complete my RN. I have...

Beautifully written. I could picture everything - like a movie in my mind. Thank you.

Can you go to a more flexible school to earn your CNA? I took a 20 day full time CnA course. My school also had a 2 month weekend only CNA course. It cost more than the JC, but was pretty inexpensive...

kplp1111 I was give the chicken pox vaccine and last year I wound up with shingles... I am 24! Has this happened to anyone else who received the vax? A 19 yr old friend of mine got shingles...

Actually, I've been accused of being a danger to the health of all US citizens because I don't immunize!

Hi! You are not alone. I was vehemently opposed to most "medical" interventions for many of my adult years. I don't fully immunize my kids. I eat vegan / vegetarian and don't believe in the food...

@libran1984... You said all I wanted to say but couldn't find words to. Only difference is I know I will likely have to work in a snf for awhile after graduation. But I am doing all I can to be in...

I think you can find part time or on call or weekend only work as an LVN. As for me, I'd ideally like to work weekend and breaks as an LVN if I need money while getting through RN school. My last...

I really enjoy working with the elderly but I do not want to work in a nursing home. That being said, I know as an LVN I will probably end up working on one. The reasons I'd rather not work in a...

Did *you* read the OP's post? She has applied to local nursing schools for 3 years.
