   I was accepted as an alternate which I am not taking. I can't sit and wait around for something that might not happen. Especially since you could be accepted up to the week before you start?! With my kids and work, there is just no way. Oh well! Good...

   alxndria.mrqtt replied to MVitiello's topic in CNA/MA

   I have had a CNA license for years. I have applied everywhere (home health, LTC, hospitals, psych homes, etc....) I've only ever been called for an interview for home health. Did it for 3 months and hated it. I've volunteered at two hospitals for a c...

   alxndria.mrqtt replied to EMUnurse2be.'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   I say do it! I only wish I had the opportunity to be a CNA in ICU. I have my CNA license and can't get a job anywhere! It would be a great opportunity for you!

   This thread is scaring me as well! According to many of you, nursing is not what I thought it was! : /

   Creamsoda- it's a phobia and it used to be really bad. Thankfully, it has gotten much better but is still there. I know I'll be able to overcome it. :) caregiver1977- I didn't throw up (or even come close to it) when I had my kids! Maybe the phobia h...

    alxndria.mrqtt replied to mee9mee9's topic in Technicians

    I thought it would be easy to get a job and make it eaiser to get a job as an RN... so far, I'm still looking for a job and still on the waitlist for nursing school!

    Sillywilly- I LOVE you!! Like I mentioned before...if I start puking while the patient's puking, I will lose it. I, unlike you, can handle animal vomit and baby vomit. My daughter had severe projectile vomiting when she was teeny and I dealt with t...

    SCSTxRN- I think I would love to do psych, but I heard it's so dangerous from another post on here... I forgot I volunteered in an ER for months and it didn't bother me too much. But, I didn't have to touch any puke. Lol! How many of you have been th...

    MeldogRN....Oh gosh. That's my worst nightmare! I think I can get over the other people puking....but if I'm puking (or close to it) with them, I think I'll die!

    alxndria.mrqtt replied to alxndria.mrqtt's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all your help... I'm almost positive after some exposure I'll be pretty okay with the pukers. Lol. I've been trying to get some exposure as a CNA before I start nursing school, but no one will hire without experience! I'll get some puke e...

    KelRN215- What I mean by "more than an RN" is requiring a BSN. And I could most definitely deal with abdominal organs on the outside...and pretty much anything else. I could deal with vomit (and go home afterwards with a panic attack), but I would ob...
