  1. Taking Teas V on Friday. I'm a 4.0 student and a strong writer but it has been 10 years since I've actually had to identify sentence structure/grammar. I scored a 58% on the practice test for this section! I can't seem to figure out the best way to a...
  2. ER Nurses- How do you feel about ED volunteers?

    Well, I've now been an ER volunteer for about 2 months. I thought that I would chime in with an update as to my perspective of the experience. With respect to the recent post on the volunteer butting into the nurses conversation, I can say that that ...
  3. ER Nurses- How do you feel about ED volunteers?

    I've only literally been someone's shadow so far so I haven't yet figured out where to put myself in the event that I have run out of things to do and no one wants/needs my help. I do tend to be overly conscious of not being in the way but then that ...

  8. RN student and asking about personal meds?

    I am in the same boat with this issue and I'm not sure what to think with regards to employment opportunities. It would be great if anyone here who deals with hiring RN's could add their thoughts on this. I have been medicated for ADHD and insomnia f...
  9. New CNA/Pre-nursing student- Additional certs??

    Thanks for the advice! Since I don't have practical experience beyond course clinicals, would you suggest that I include some of the relevent pre-req courses (i.e; A&P, chem, microbiology, nutrition, developmental psych) on my resume?
  10. This sounds crazy, but I have time to spare! I just passed my state CNA exam and I'm taking a CPR course in August so that I can start applying to some part-time CNA jobs to gain some practical experience. I'll be applying to a nursing program for n...
  11. Hello CNA's! What did you wear to an interview for a CNA position? My career history consists of various positions in medical admin so my interview waredrobe is made up of blouses, dress pants and pumps. I'm going to be starting the search for a CNA ...
