1. I'm Done!

   Mentos posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I quit my CNA job. With all the budget cuts I couldn't make a living off my pay (7.25 an hour!!) and the work is just to much for such a little amount of pay. I was working 6 days a week, in school 4 with 2 small children and I would just cry after e...

4. Calling all Paducah, KY Nurses!

   Mentos replied to keithjones's topic in Kentucky

   So I guess you guys haven't heard anything yet? I dont know why you would have. I guess I'm just anxious! I went to the first conference so it's been so long since I heard anything at all from the nursing department. I'm so sick of waiting, I've been...

   Mentos replied to greeniebean's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Chill, it's just to let off steam so we don't yell these things in their faces! And yea, it is a rant, that's probably why it seems like a rant. Sorry I just gave out my last gold star to my 2 year old, or it would be all yours Captain Obvious. LOL...

10. To the girl who texted all during the math final...

    Mentos replied to greeniebean's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Why do people get hateful when you get all A's? I earned everyone of those A's! It's not like anyone handed anything to me. I worked my butt off, came to every class, did ALL the extra credit, and spent hours studying for every test. And you slept, t...

13. Should medication aides exist?

    Mentos replied to BradleyRN's topic in Safety

    I was a med tech, and if you had asked me this question last year I'd have argued about how much easier CMTs make it on the nurses. BUT Let me share a personal expirience with you guys and hope I don't get flamed!! My LTC routinely sends it's CNAs to...

15. Are you getting a ADN or going straight to BSN ?

    Mentos replied to zrodriguez's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm going for my ADN then hopefully on to MSN. I want to pace myself (got small children) and I can't relocate. I also don't have gobs of money and community college is cheaper.
