    Useless Shift Report Information

    Neo Soldier replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

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

    Neo Soldier replied to NurseBlaq's topic in General Nursing

    I chose the program I went to because it was within driving distance from where I live. It was a community college and I received grants to attend; That was a great deal for me. After I graduated, I...

    Can't afford nursing school

    Neo Soldier replied to Sjean31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the people above. The most logical thing to do given your situation is to go to a community college and avoid accruing any more loans. Absolutely. Take advantage of this. If/when you get...

    Nursing questions

    Neo Soldier replied to abrod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I recommend getting your CNA certificate for sure. For one, it gets you a chance to know if nursing is what you want to do. Also, some schools take into account some healthcare experience for your...

    Same. I think sex offenders should get extended jail time. If people who commit drug offenses get 20 years in prison, then why not sex

    Psych Nurses. Do you hug your patients?

    I'm in CA that's why. ofcourse rent is high and even renting a room in a house could cost as much as $700. Is it possible that psych facilities in your area make more? Nursing homes here pay little...

    CNA with no type of experience

    Neo Soldier replied to Murse4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can ask your CNA school program director to help you with that and in fact some are willing to put in a good word for you. The director at my school always told us to come to her for a letter of...

    Should I become a CNA OR MA?

    Neo Soldier replied to heavwhit's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I recommend CNA. It's quicker to complete the classes. For me, it was a 4 week course. MA takes up to 9 months and I'm sure it costs more than the CNA certificate. Also, what are the prospects of...
