1. How do you deal with attachment?

   Little Miss Blue posted a topic in CNA/MA

   This has been one busy week for me; I just finished up clinicals on Tuesday, passed my CNA course with an A on Wednesday, and took the state exam -- which I'm confident I did well on -- this morning. I have tentative plans to take a CMA course in Jan...

2. Anyone here too "small" to become a CNA?

   Little Miss Blue replied to ciarline's topic in CNA/MA

   One of my close friends is 4'11" and she kicks so much butt at what she does (she's a CNA/CMA). I haven't worked with her personally, but I guarantee you that she is better at transfers than I am, and I'm 5'6" and 135lbs. There is no such thing as "t...

3. Relocating from CA to KS, how to proceed to ensure a swift return?

   Little Miss Blue replied to Little Miss Blue's topic in Career Support

   FYI, Likes-To-Make-Personal-Attacks-In-Iowa, I have Seasonal Affective Disorder and I can barely function during harsh midwest winters. In California I didn't even need SSRIs to treat my SAD, but here even a combination of SSRIs and light therapy are...

4. Anyone get away with a "questionable" hair shade?

   Little Miss Blue replied to Little Miss Blue's topic in General Students

   Thank you everyone for your responses. :) I'd like to address two of them: CherryRed23 wrote: "... getting into the nursing program is a BIG deal. I see all kinds of threads saying 'should I get a third piercing before classes start?', 'should I dye ...

5. Anyone get away with a "questionable" hair shade?

   Little Miss Blue posted a topic in General Students

   Every nursing program I know of has a "no unnatural hair colors" policy. I've heard of people doing funky things with natural colors, such as two-tone color or multi-colored highlights. Personally, I'm interested in playing with reds and going a soli...

6. Why did you choose to go into nursing?

   Little Miss Blue replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was an exceptionally bright child and a prolific writer growing up, so the adults around me all expected me to go to an Ivy League school and perhaps become a novelist, columnist or journalist. When I graduated high school one year late with a very...

7. Relocating from CA to KS, how to proceed to ensure a swift return?

   Little Miss Blue replied to Little Miss Blue's topic in Career Support

   Wichita may be inexpensive, but as a bleeding heart liberal who craves culture, is involved with the Asian-American community in Los Angeles and has a dating preference to match, Wichita is not an appropriate place for me. I grew up there and worked ...

8. Relocating from CA to KS, how to proceed to ensure a swift return?

   Little Miss Blue posted a topic in Career Support

   Due to a combination of factors (specifically: a family crisis and my personal financial difficulties), I am relocating from Los Angeles to Wichita. Here in Los Angeles, I was working towards entering the ADN program at Santa Monica College. Now I ha...

9. A New Nursing Student with Worries

   Little Miss Blue posted a topic in Career Support

   Hello allnurses! You may call me "Little Miss Blue" or any derivative thereof. I'm a 22 year old student at a community college in Southern California and I am chipping away at the prerequisites for the ADN program. I didn't always want to be a nurse...

10. It's near impossible to get into pre-reqs at CCs here in SoCal

    Little Miss Blue replied to pennyep's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I feel your pain. When classes fill up before you even get a chance to register, don't give up hope right away. Option 1: Try to enroll after the fee payment deadline passes; anyone who has not paid will be dropped at that time. If you're not sure o...
