  3. Xavier College in Stockton,Ca?

    cduenes41 replied to amneh's topic in School, College Programs

    Update: Merced does have a 1 1/2 to 2 year waiting list for their LVN program, so I was told by one of the counselors to just go for the RN program, since it goes by lottery and merit. I started my...

  4. Should I work in a SNF?

    cduenes41 replied to AudieLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with needlesmcgee. You are, however, wise to go through a registry. They can usually get you more money than being hired on directly by a facility, you can make your own hours, and if you find...

  6. want to quit my CNA job, need advice

    cduenes41 replied to sourapril's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know this is an older post but one suggestion for new grads is to work the NOC shift initially, if possible. Less cattiness, slower pace, and less chaos. This type of flexibility is one of the main...

    cduenes41 replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. LVN-RN 30 unit option CA should I go this route?

    cduenes41 replied to jason4546's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. I'm not. And I know the ramifications of being an RN with the 30 option versus having an ADN through a "traditional" program or BSN or MSN. Your options may be limited, but there's no way you...

  9. LVN-RN 30 unit option CA should I go this route?

    cduenes41 replied to jason4546's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pretty big pool out there and there's been a serious nursing shortage for decades. An RN is an RN is an

  10. Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

    cduenes41 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks for the comment. I'm not one to go into debt, and there are varying opinions on what one considers affordable. For now, my plan remains the same. The Board of Vocational Nursing and...

  11. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    cduenes41 replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess every single person (myself not included) who responded on this thread is a Mormon, because THAT'S to WHOM she was addressing her

  15. Newly licensed NP working as RN

    cduenes41 replied to GoodKick01's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    ..."I do not know if anyone will hire me as RN if they know I have NP license? How I am going to explain this to them? " Do you have to disclose that you have an NP

  16. CNA School, What to Expect?

    cduenes41 replied to Daisy0897's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would advise calling the school and asking them what kind of supplies you will need as each program has their own setup. We didn't need to purchase a stethoscope. All of that was provided during...

  17. Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

    cduenes41 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a new CNA with only two weeks at my first job. It is crazy work, I am still working on time- management, and during my last shift I was assigned 13 patients. I'm in the rehab section and it...

  18. Floor Nurse Snapped at Me on 2nd Day

    cduenes41 replied to EmmaPeel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would just like to add that if she's verbally abusing residents it should be reported. Hope you can work through this and turn some negatives into positives. That's what much in life is, anyway. All...

    cduenes41 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  20. Xavier College in Stockton,Ca?

    cduenes41 replied to amneh's topic in School, College Programs

    Not sure. However, my fellow former CNA classmate and I (we just graduated from our CNA program) are planning to meet with one of the Allied Health Counselors tomorrow at Merced College at 8 am. We...

  21. Xavier College in Stockton,Ca?

    cduenes41 replied to amneh's topic in School, College Programs

    Nope. But I can tell you now that at 25k it's way overpriced. Merced's program is just under 5k. All the

  22. California CNA's - what skills did you get on your state boards?

    cduenes41 replied to anie10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Awesome! I take the test for my CNA certificate on May 2nd. I've already started applying for jobs and I've gotten offers left and right, but I still have to wait until I I'm certified before I can...
