Hello all, I'm 22yrs of age and going to school right now for my RN. I'm taking my pre-reqs and in the beginning of my educational path for my BSN. I still have a lot to go. Well over this past year the navy has been a interest to me for some reason....

Hello everyone, I'm a cna who is leaving my current Hospice job for the VA. I was just a little nervous since it will be ICU. Can any former employees from the VA or ICU CNA's give me any pointers? I talked to the nurse manager through the interview...

FlawlessT.... How long have you been with the VA? And what makes you really enjoy being on federal grounds more so then nursing homes or hospitals? Also do you recall how long the training period was before you was out on your own? Is it the same in ...

Any of you guys went through the navy and work as a Hospital Corpsman while going to school for nursing? I was just wondering if it was possible? Or would it be best to get your BSN before joining the Navy or any service?

This type of career is a interest to me but I do have a few questions. What exactly is the description of a Officer? What role in the navy or any branch does the officer Nurse corp fit? What is a average day for a Nurse corp? Also is it true that the...

I put this post in the Tennessee Nurses forum and they were of no help,lol. I live in Memphis TN. And I was wondering if anyone knew of any free CNA courses; affordable schools, or nursing Homes. I'm a pre-nursing student as of now trying to get my R...

Hi everyone, I'm getting ready to transfer to a BSN program from my ADN program. I'm about to transfer since at my ADN college it seems that it will take me the same time getting a degree as it would to get a BSN. Also there is housing on campus and ...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to transfer to Baptist sometime in the making. I was wondering about this HOBET exam. How is it and what is on it? Anyone go to Baptist College of Health Science in Memphis? How is the staff and the program? Also do anyone kno...

Anyone went to Southwest TN Community College? How was the staff there in the NS? I go there now and I'm almost done with my pre-regs. I'm going to apply soon for their Nursing School. Can anyone tell me what to expect? How is the clinicals? Was it h...

This may sound silly but would you recommend a Male CNA who is a smaller fellow? Whenever I speak of becoming a CNA people always tell me about the lifting and hardwork. I'm a male who is 5'7 130 lbs when dry,lol. I have always been a lil guy and jus...

I have been looking into the LVN programs in Dallas FTW area and was wondering if anyone knows anything about Platt. I'm going to be in the North Dallas area so it wasn't too far away from where I'll be living soon. I talked to a lady at the school a...

I guess I stated wrong what I was trying to get at. I know you can't transfer your credits from Platt Dallas LVN program to a RN degree. Most public insitutions you can't. Maybe LVN license to a BSN though. I was just asking if anyone has went to Pla...

My concern is the NLN(enterance Exam). I'm 22yrs of age and attend a ADN program at a community college in TN. I have taken all classes prior to being accepted to Nursing School and I'm in good standing so far. The program I attend requires you to ha...

I was thinking about relocating to Dallas or Houston and work as a CNA until I finish school for my RN. I was wondering what would be the best decision Dallas or Houston? Do anyone know the base salaries for CNA's in Houston and Dallas? Where would ...

I dont think it would be looked as a bad thing. I'm a male as well and unlike our fellow woman a shaved head is normal. I'm 22yrs old and sometimes I wonder if I'll have to shave my head in the long run. My hair is thinning on the sides in my temps,l...

Wow, this is usually a enterance exam to get into Nursing school. I find it kind of weird for them to make you take it before graduation. At my insitution we have to take it prior to becoming a nursing student after we are done with our pre-reqs. I d...

I was wondering would it technically matter if I was get certified in another state then the one I live. I have seen a couple of jobs that ask for you to be certified in the state. I find it kind of silly though since people often times move to diffe...

Was it hard and is it hard to find a job in this field? I live in Memphis,TN which is a big populated city. Was it hard to find the 1st job since you had no experience?

Thanks everyone for the input. I just didn't know for sure on the situation. I think I'll be fine. My dad always says I'm alot stronger than I think,lol. So maybe I will be Mr. SuperMan! I'm excited for a new career path in life. I hope to be certifi...

You can find a job as a LPN in Memphis,TN. True they are trying to phase them out but it won't happen any time soon. Also, its many LPN's who work at the VA downtown among many other places. I don't know of the pay rate though sorry.

Hi Everyone, I live in Memphis TN as of now. And there is no free or cheap cna courses around here. The cheapest I came across was 1,300. I was wondering if due to Katrina if there is any free or affordable courses on the West Bank of New Orleans or ...

Here is the PHP website.... Travel Nursing Jobs â€" RN, LPN, OR Techs Travel Jobs in America, United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa

First of all thank you both for replying to my post. The information was very informative. I was kind of confussed of what was the job description of a officer and how it fit with being a nurse. So what is the staffing in this nursing profession. I'm...

I lately went to the doctor and as of my visit the doctor was a bit too assertive in giving me his opinion on my life. I know with any illness a doctor should ask general questions to form an assesment on the patient. But, he was truely in a opinion ...
