    LPN Refused Assignment as a CNA

    NurseBlaq replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    NurseBlaq replied to JasmineFuzzy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Send them yourself or is that not permitted in your state? Get an attorney and contact your state's BON and discuss this with them. It's almost as if he's holding you hostage which I'm sure is...

    Nurse as a Patient?

    NurseBlaq replied to beekindRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sheesh! I usually don't tell nurses I'm a nurse because I don't want to alarm them. And I don't really use the call bell or ask for anything unless they're in the room or it's major, and I try not to...

    Why did you choose that nursing program (current or past)?

    NurseBlaq posted a topic in General Nursing

    And would you choose differently if you had to do it again? It can be any, and all, of the programs from CNA to DNP/PHD. Would you choose it again, why/why not? There are many programs people choose...

    Why did you choose that nursing program (current or past)?

    NurseBlaq replied to NurseBlaq's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that's the new thing. The first semester is usually CNA duties, med passes, and basics anyway. Back then if you weren't a CNA you were eligible to take the state test and become one after...

    In my ADN program we had to take social sciences, humanities, and hard sciences. It was mandatory for the degree and part of pre-reqs for nursing, no way around any of them. It's also why I took just...
