1. 5 Weird Questions Patients Have Asked As An OB Nurse

   CNC_1989 replied to JanineKelbach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   When I was explaining to a patient that smoking cigarettes while you're pregnant could contribute to a low birth weight the patient asked if I meant low birth weight for her or the baby. It was hard to keep a straight face.

2. LPN'S

   CNC_1989 replied to DPalmieri's topic in LPN/LVN

   I'm a LPN student and I just don't understand why everyone is so focused on what type of education you have as a nurse. The way I see nursing is there's always room for advancement, that's part of the appeal but it dosen' t make anyone better than th...

3. The worst job you had before becoming a Nurse?

   CNC_1989 replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm currently in nursing school but the worse job I've had was cashier (then later promoted to Beauty Adviser) at Walgreens. They worked me like a dog for minimum wage and I had to deal with the junkies cussing me out because the pharmacy denied them...

4. switch from medical school to nursing?

   CNC_1989 replied to gj101's topic in General Students

   I can relate because my ex husband wasn't supportive at all when I told him I wanted to be a nurse. Sometimes we have to do what's best for ourselves, this doesn't make us selfish. If your wife truly loved you then she would support you. If I were yo...

5. What do your school uniforms look like?

   CNC_1989 replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN-RN

   Grey scrubs with our school patch, a white lab coat, black shoes and hair up with small stud earrings and a flat wedding band. I'm so glad they done away with white a few semesters before me lol.

6. What is the future of Physical Therapist Assistant? | Any jobs in Miami, Fort Lauderdale?|

   CNC_1989 replied to Angevil's topic in Career Support

   In my state those jobs are hard to come by that's why I'm in nursing school. You should check out job postings in your area, try career builder,monster, etc. Also, check how many schools have that program, it may be congested.

7. Antonelli College LPN program.

   CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   It was a sixty-something I believe.

8. Classroom CNA student

   CNC_1989 replied to Vtachy1's topic in CNA/MA

   When I took my CNA class my teacher used power points, we had lecture notes plus our textbook. We also had a quiz after every chapter, homework and we had a new skill each week that we had to practice.

9. LPN Traning is it hard? Any tips

   CNC_1989 replied to apreetyddhh's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Well first off, I find your comment unnecessary and second I don't think choosing LPN over RN has anything to do with a lack of intelligence. For most people it's a choice based on their financial situation. I'm sorry you're unhappy with the choice y...

10. Age and nursing school

    CNC_1989 replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

    I'm 26 and just started my program last month. I'll be 27 when I graduate from my LPN program :). You're still a youngin.

11. Antonelli College LPN program.

    CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The debt part I agree with but honestly if you have your LPN license employers don't really care where you went to school.

12. Antonelli College LPN program.

    CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    You have to take the Kaplan exam and have a ged. They don't require an act or preqs but you get "extra points" for certain classes I think and previous healthcare experience. I got in but I have a 3.4 GPA and I made pretty good on the Kaplan so I'm n...

13. Antonelli College LPN program.

    CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The one in my state is, I know a couple of the students from last semester have passed boards and are working. The program is just unreasonably priced. I only applied because I was keeping my options open.

14. Antonelli College LPN program.

    CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Nope, it was crazy expensive plus I got accepted into JCJC. I talked to a couple of people that did it and they liked it. I just couldn't pay the 19,000 tuition.

15. Should I become a LPN

    CNC_1989 replied to Melissataylor730's topic in LPN/LVN

    That's a question only you can answer, however I can put in my 2 cents. I chose the LPN route because I have an 8 year old son and financial difficulties . If you don't have kids and can support yourself while going to school I say go for RN. You're ...
