  2. Lazy stuck up nurses

    I'm sorry if it came off as me saying all nurses were this way. Just venting, I know both sides have good and bad. It is just frustrating and I really don't want to be miserable everyday at work and have a toxic work environment and while I'm at it t...
  3. Lazy stuck up nurses

    I have been working as a CNA for a couple months now at a nursing home, on the rehab floor in the morning. There are four of us for about 40 residents and we usually get breaks and lunch by pairs so there are sometimes just 2 nursing assistants on th...
  4. I know this is a kinda old question, but I was feeling the same way. I graduated at 18, and now at 23 I'm just starting to get serious about school. I got my CNA, which I'm proud of but I keep thinking that those 5 years I wasted I could be done or a...
  5. What Colored Scrubs Do You Wear?

  6. Dutchess Boces Info Please?

  8. Dutchess County Boces LPN 2012?

    Well I am looking at Touro College, Suny Stony Brook, LIU, and maybe Russel Sage College( Even though it is super expensive), I think the 53% might be overall, because on some sections I got below a 53%, that sucks that they told you there would be p...
  9. Dutchess Boces Info Please?

    Hi again lol, I wish I could tell you about the clinical sites, I had a paper with where clinicals were but threw it out, but I do think you go to hospitals as well as nursing homes. The tops were dark blue and I think the pants were white(not sure w...

    Hi, I actually have the option of coming back in January for part time, but I declined and I decided to get my associates in science also and transfer to a 4 year college and get my BS in health sciences/ MS in occupational therapy while working as a...
  12. Dutchess County Boces LPN 2012?

    No problem :) Yes I did end up leaving the program, it would cost too much money for transportation to get back and forth to school. You could probably get a smaller loan than I did hopefully, the math was not too hard I am not too good in math eithe...
