Make sure you have 2-3 pairs of shoes for work. Don't wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. Call a podiatrist office and see if there are shoe stores in your area they would recommend. Advil...

I can't believe, reading all these answers, that the Gov't seems to think the average student loan debt is $24k (or thereabouts). Do they not count all the private loans students take out because...

I have to admit, this is a big concern of mine as well. I am still in nursing school, but I have already seen how much time nurses truly have to spend with their patients. I love caring for people,...

Hey sduncan, just wanted to follow up and see how your med-surg experience is going?? After several months I definitely feel more comfortable with my responsibilities. Some days everything sails...

I started work as a CNA at a LTC just before the first day of class of my RN program. I am going into my second year of RN school, and now work at the hospital I hope to work at as a nurse. Being a...

Personally, I have found that you just need to apply and see what happens. There is a lot of job availability in Lee County (not sure about the others). That said, there are also many people applying...

Sounds like you're trying to justify your own choices to allnurses readers!!! I say stop worrying about what others think, and go do what you need to do. I worked as a CNA in a LTC, now I work in a...

hey troopers, how did your interview for the MICU job go? I think I might want to work ICU when I graduate. I thought it was because I wanted to be a CRNA, but after hanging out in surgery during a...

I am also really interested to know how your job is going!!! I am not a new CNA, but I recently made the transition from LTC to a busy hospital floor. I too mostly work weekends due to my nursing...

My advice would be that panel interviews are about seeing how the interviewee interacted with the interviewers. So personality counts for a lot! I would try to be really outgoing and bubbly, and...

I do it, but yes, I am part-time. No more than 24 hours a week or so. I have not found it possible to be full time. There are so many extra things in addition to class. Then there is you and your...

This happens to me as well, and I work 8's!! I haven't found a cure-all yet, but stretching and ankle circles help. If it gets me by my lunch break, I take an advil. It actually does help to fit in...

Since you know your personality is like this, make sure you set aside time to break from the grind and anxiety of nursing school. Like, if you know you have a test coming up, study for a few days...

Short cardio workouts sound a lot more doable than 30-40 minutes sustained. I guess the intensity would be higher.

Hey everyone. I am finishing up my intro semester of nursing school, and between full time school, part time job, homework, work asking me to come in for another shift ( im a prn), and finding time...

I went back and forth between hygienist and nursing for a few years before focusing and finishing up prereqs for nursing. My thoughts were that as a hygienist, the job description is a lot less...

Well said, ProudStudent. I am in nursing school and work as a CNA a lot of the days that I am not in class. It is really hard work. And the CNA training doesn't really prepare you for how hard it is...

I guess it depends on the state. I looked at the Employ Florida site, and they don't seem to have much beyond "These are schools that offer education programs", but it looks like you can go into a...

I have never heard of this program. I lost my finance job in the crisis, and since I'd intended to become a nurse for several years prior I chose to go for it. I assure you I am not receiving...

I get those when I eat a lot of bread/pretzels things like that. Drinking water definitely helps, as does tongue scraping. I've heard it is bacterial buildup, but I am convinced it is some kind of...

Try Certain Dri anti-perspirant. They have a roll on and a solid. Solid is for sensitive skin.

I think the big questions I would ask, is 1.) do employers hire graduates from this school, and 2.) do BSN programs around your vicinity take graduates from this school. If both questions are "yes"...

Yeah I would keep it pretty short. Even if you "hand in your two weeks", they will most likely just escort you out or just tell you not to come in the next day. I would type up a letter with no...

I just started as a CNA a few months back. Thanks for this! I was actually taught to reorient residents to the present, but that has Never worked! I go along with what the resident is talking about....

I would recommend asking an attorney. If someone in your family is an attorney, or just pay the few hundred for some sound advice from a reputable one. If you check 'no' then it sounds like your...
