   luvtranscendsall replied to darrell's topic in General Nursing

   In my first semester of nursing school we were told in health assessment not to use complaining of because of the negative connotation that goes along with it. We actually got dinged on our paperwork because of it. I am in my last semester of a 2 yea...

2. Any reason for me to renew my CNA license after RN license?

   luvtranscendsall replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

   Actually I am a licensed CNA. I paid for, tested, and hold a state licensure through the VA Board of nursing to work as a nurse aide. When i finished Nurse Aide school I was given a certificate of completion on flimsy paper but after I tested for a s...

3. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

   luvtranscendsall replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Relations

   I'm sorry but a CNA's job is not only physically demanding but it is also emotionally and mentally demanding. CNA's are allowed to be abused, spit on, slapped, scratched etc. Yes that can happen to a nurse to but CNA's are providing more ADL, hands o...

4. Nursing program starts Aug 27th and I'm not prepared!!!

   luvtranscendsall replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

   Instructors can be a big support if you find the right one. In my second semester I found myself having a hard time with not enough help from my boyfriend with the kids and house. I started working again. I had been on unemployment before that and th...

5. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

   luvtranscendsall replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Relations

   I'm sorry but it doesn't matter that you changed 2 of your 4 pts beds and had other things to do. It is never acceptable to leave dirty soiled linen on the floor. If yuo can not see why then I suggest you review universal precautions and your facilit...

6. Are LPNs being phased out?

   luvtranscendsall replied to zandile2011's topic in New Jersey

   I was told when I went to my local hospitals outpatient center that they were no longer hiring LPN's and they gave the existing ones the option to go back to school and work towards their RN or they had to take a pay cut and work as CNA/PCT so I do b...

   I have one more week to the official start of my RN Program. I took Introduction to Nursing and Dosage Calculation in the Summer. The Intro to Nursing class was a 5 week hybrid class that taught us the history of nursing, beginning ethics, and taught...

8. Will CNA experience in LTC help get a nursing job after graduation?

   luvtranscendsall replied to kenyacka's topic in General Nursing

   For me, I always wanted to work in a hospital. I wasn't able to because when I became a CNA I had a 6 month old baby and then when he was 2 I had another baby. I knew that I would have to sometimes call out being a single mom so I kind of just been b...

9. Will CNA experience in LTC help get a nursing job after graduation?

   luvtranscendsall replied to kenyacka's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know for a fact but I have heard that it will because you have prior healthcare experience. I am CNA, too. I hope that it will give me the edge over other applicants.

10. Is it worth it taking out a loan for a CNA program certificate?

    luvtranscendsall replied to mariposabella's topic in Technicians

    Sometimes you can get CNA training for free through your local Workforce Development or Unemployment Commision. Another thing is that you can find a nursing home or a hospital that offers a CNA training program. Those programs are usually a lot short...

11. Attention Nurses....

    I can totally relate to that from a CNA's perspective and I am sure when I am nurse I will experience that as well. It makes sense to put it that way.

    Thank you!! This was the best reply!!!

13. Attention Nurses....

    luvtranscendsall replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    No I don't understand how one's work wouldn't reflect one's philosophy of nursing. That doesn't even make sense. I am open to hear the how and why you wouldn't want your work to reflect your philosophy of nursing. I know that, unfortunately due to th...

14. Attention Nurses....

    luvtranscendsall replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    So glad my school changes everything around every fall when the new influx of first years come in. All schools should do this so one doesn't automatically assume that they are trying to cheat from an upperclassmen. I think its sad that the OP has now...
