1. Employment Question

   Alright. Thank you. I'll try to find a job in Winston Salem and deal with the longer commute for a month while I'm in Lexington until I can move.

2. Employment Question

   IBeBishin posted a topic in CNA/MA

   This might belong more in the general discussion forum, but I thought since I will be working as a CNA (specifically) that this might be more appropriate. Feel free to move it, however, if I'm wrong. A little background: I live in North Carolina, an...

3. Commuting Question

   IBeBishin replied to IBeBishin's topic in CNA/MA

   Well, it also saves me a great deal of money. I only spend $100/yr on my bike(s) including maintenance, parts, and gear as I can repair most mechanical problems myself. Given my income, I couldn't afford a car either way.

4. Are Dansko shoes really that great?

   IBeBishin replied to Nrs2bE09's topic in General Students

   You're very welcome. There are a few DIY panniers on instructables.com if you don't already have one.

5. Are Dansko shoes really that great?

   IBeBishin replied to Nrs2bE09's topic in General Students

   I'd suggest just getting a small pannier to stick your Danskos in, and use your old shoes for biking. I bike 15 miles to my college on every weekday and carry a change of clothes and a pair of walking shoes in my panniers (I use cycling shoes, becau...

6. Faux Leather Shoes

   IBeBishin replied to IBeBishin's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Yes, my instructor corrected me about having shoes with canvas material -- must be solid, no holes, no canvas material, and cannot be slip-ons. I'll see what my shoe store has in stock sometime next week, and report back.

   Interesting. I'll consider it. I'm also considering Crocs -- if not that, then a pair of their canvas shoes should work.

8. Faux Leather Shoes

   IBeBishin posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I'm currently in nursing school, and I unfortunately need leather nursing shoes for my clinicals. I need something that would work as an imitation, and my instructor let me know that this would be fine after I let her know that I was vegan. Any r...

9. Commuting Question

   IBeBishin replied to IBeBishin's topic in CNA/MA

   As long as the bathroom is spacy enough, that sounds fine. I doubt there will be many male employees so I shouldn't have any problem with privacy. How long are your commutes, generally? There's usually twenty nursing homes every 15 miles here, and ...

10. Commuting Question

    IBeBishin replied to IBeBishin's topic in CNA/MA

    Alright, thank you. Sounds good. I'll need to get to work earlier anyway to cool-down. It usually depends on the terrain, but on flat-ground with my mountain bike with slick tires -- it takes me only an hour. Expect longer if you live in a ridicul...

11. Commuting Question

    IBeBishin replied to IBeBishin's topic in CNA/MA

    Yes, it's out of choice. I don't have an automobile that I use for transportation, and I wouldn't want one. I sometimes take the bus to my community college, which is ten miles out. Sometimes, though, I decide to keep biking as the bus sometimes r...

12. Commuting Question

    IBeBishin posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hello, I'm currently undergoing my training as a CNA, and I was curious about what facilities are typically in nursing homes as I intend to begin working in one in a month or so. I'm currently biking to my community college on a 30-35 mile round-tri...
