1. Young CNA here: help me understand this union thing

   AlliD replied to ravenpuff's topic in Union

   If it weren't for unions there would be no weekends, paid time off, the 8 hour work day, etc. Not to mention fair wages. But hey, who needs'em.

2. Nursing exam questions are terrible (according to science)

   AlliD replied to ericthered's topic in NCLEX

   Nursing is not medicine, because it is nursing. :)

5. Prayers and good thoughts appreciated!

   AlliD posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi again everyone, I just wanted to ask for some prayers or good thoughts for this upcoming Fall semester as I am going to have a pretty challenging course load and I am worried my GPA will suffer, which would not be ideal in my current situation. I...

6. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

   AlliD replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

   I totally understand.. It usually gets under my skin when someone points out how quiet I am being, and everyone's attention immediately goes to me, waiting for me to explain myself. But now I just shake it off and ignore them even more. Lol.

7. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

   AlliD replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

   I can't even begin to explain how many times I have had to say this to people! It is extremely annoying when you're treated as if something is wrong with you because you're not speaking your every waking thought out loud.

8. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

   AlliD replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

   Have not read all of the previous posts so I apologize in advance if someone else already pointed this out. There is a huge difference in being introverted and being shy. Someone can of course be both simultaneously, but not all introverts are shy an...

9. Sick of this

   AlliD replied to TurtleCat's topic in CNA/MA

   First of all, report this abuse without a doubt - second of all, since when does an aide have any say whatsoever in how another aide performs/works? You learn day one in CNA class who to report to and listen to and it is never another aide. We are ob...

10. Helpful books/resources for new students?

    AlliD replied to AlliD's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone! I figure it's never too early to start getting as ready as you can.

11. Helpful books/resources for new students?

    AlliD replied to AlliD's topic in General Students

    @Lori, I think I will buy an older edition, cheaper review book to mess around with until I find out which one I will need when I start my program! Can't hurt, anyway - to at least practice with the format and get a sneak peek of the content as well....

12. Helpful books/resources for new students?

    AlliD replied to AlliD's topic in General Students

    From what I've heard from other students and seen here on AN, I think it would be a good idea to go ahead and buy an NCLEX book! Saunder's comp. review is one of the recommended texts in the syllabus for the first Fundamentals class at the beginning ...

    AlliD posted a topic in General Students

    A community college near me offers a short "preparation" course prior to starting their nursing program. I looked up the required text and supplies on the college's bookstore for the class and among them were these: 1.)http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w...

14. New hopeful student!

    AlliD replied to AlliD's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Exactly, I really do not want to add to the course load! At the rate I'm going I will have Micro finished in the summer before the fall NSG classes begin. I have to talk to my advisor first about this because she says Micro may be required to be take...

15. New hopeful student!

    AlliD replied to AlliD's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow! I had never thought about the letter of recommendation and cover letter before. That sounds like a great idea. And if I'm not accepted I do plan to take the remaining 2 co-reqs before applying the next year. The only problem with taking classes ...
