1. Clinicals - Is this normal?

   Tallync posted a topic in CNA/MA

   So I just finished my CNA class this weekend and I am horrified at what I saw/heard during clinical. When I went into a residents room with the CNA on staff, the CNA was pleasant, but she talked down to the resident and complained about the resident'...

2. What are the smallest brand scrubs?

   Tallync replied to mkgigi's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I am your same size, 5'2 95 lbs. I went to my local store and here was my find: Sketchers cargo pants were slightly baggy, but definitely do-able. Cherokee workwear xxs petite was PERFECT. The few others I tried didn't even compare, and unfortunat...

3. so worried about taking my cna exam in another state nc

   Tallync replied to C-honey23's topic in CNA/MA

   If you go to the Pearson Vue website, they have a NC Nurses Aide handbook for candidates of the exam. It gives sample questions and has a list of every task that you could be asked to do along with the correct process and steps. I haven't taken the...

4. Onslow Memorial Any good?

   Tallync replied to eljamstudent's topic in North Carolina

   While in CCCC, do you think it would be possible to work and go to school? I just don't have the ability to quit my job and I'm afraid the program will be too inflexible to allow me to do both. Thanks!

5. Science portion of TEAS

   Tallync replied to kneecole06's topic in TEAS

   I just got my ATI study guide. I think I'm going to focus on the reading and math and make that part more solid to make up for my shakey science. Thanks for the help and advice everyone! :nuke:

6. TEAS (ATI) & PN NLN

   Tallync replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you so much for the advice and suggestions! I have until November to sit and study and prepare for it but it just doesn't feel like enough time. Your advice will be extremely helpful. Thank you!

7. TEAS (ATI) & PN NLN

   Tallync replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

   CONGRATULATIONS! That is an amazing score. So now that you've taken the TEAS, how would you say the science section is? I haven't taken chemistry, physics, or classes like that. Was there a lot about that stuff? Thanks and good job!

8. Onslow Memorial Any good?

   Tallync replied to eljamstudent's topic in North Carolina

   What program at CCCC did you graduate from, LPN or ADN? I've been dying to talk to someone who actually went to CCCC's program (any of them) before I get into it. What did you think of it? How were the teachers? Any information you can give would...

9. What TEAS score does your school require?

   Tallync replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I haven't received my ATI study guide yet. Kaplan is thorough but maybe a little over done. For someone who hasn't taken a science since '01, it's a lot to take in. But I'm sure it will still help me prepare once I get back into it, hopefully lol!

10. Onslow Memorial Any good?

    Tallync replied to eljamstudent's topic in North Carolina

    Sorry, I know this doesn't answer your question, but how did you find out about the tuition scholarship? Just as a resident of Jacksonville of over a year I can tell you that I haven't heard too many horrible things of Onslow Memorial. Oh, and their...

11. What TEAS score does your school require?

    Tallync replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing

    When I wanted to refresh my math skills for my schools regular placement exam (just to apply to the college) I bought a SAT/ACT math review book. It was the only thing I knew I needed to study and it was AMAZING. It covered everything I needed to k...

12. Work while in comm. college LPN Program

    Tallync replied to Tallync's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Thank you so much for replying! I guess I just needed to hear it from someone who wasn't pessimistic about it lol. So many people seem to think it is this horrible idea. Again, thanks for the response!

13. Work while in comm. college LPN Program

    Tallync posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I am planning to attend the local community college next fall for the LPN program. The gen ed. classes are during the summer semester, all but one I have already taken. The fall and spring semester consist of two classes each. One is 10 weeks, the...

14. What TEAS score does your school require?

    Tallync replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My community college gives you "points" based on your score on the TEAS. Top scoring gets 20 points and they go down from there. These points are used along with points for classes taken, being a CNA, etc. to determine placement in the class or not...

15. Science portion of TEAS

    Tallync replied to kneecole06's topic in TEAS

    I am really worried about the science portion myself. It has been 8 years since I have taken a real science course (my high school allowed you to take forensic science in place of chemistry) and it is going to be my weakest point. I am extremely ru...
