  2. Minnesota Roll Call

    chuchie replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, Just moved back here from Cali and I like how MN is not as polluted and populated as back there. I also love the lakes, the change of seasons, and the people. I just started working as a CNA...

    chuchie replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that there is a shortage of nurses in Illinois? It appears to me that on similar threads about salaries that their wages seem really low. This surprises me because I know MN and WI are...

  6. American Career College / Brymann / Concorde???

    chuchie replied to ef0zzy's topic in California Nursing

    I don't think you should go for American Career College or Bryman if you're thinking about going to a trade school, because I have heard bad things such as high turn over rate for instructors and that...

    chuchie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    chuchie replied to DarciaMoonz's topic in General Nursing

    chuchie replied to loriannlpn's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good thread! As of next week, I will have not smoked for four months! For me, the first 72 hours are hell and then it got easier every week. I avoided coffee (switched to green tea) and...

  10. Orange County Hosp-Saddleback & Hoag

    chuchie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    You will be okay in North Orange County, like a previous poster said..there is always some kind of traffic in SoCal, but if you lived in/around Anaheim you will be okay. Now, if you were to live out...

  11. Orange County Hosp-Saddleback & Hoag

    chuchie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    Don't go into an apartment that is really cheap, that usually means bad company. I don't like Buena Park/ Stanton (no offense to anyone that lives there) at all so don't go towards that side of...

    chuchie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    Corona del Mar is really expensive and if you lived in Huntington beach and drove to Newport beach that would not be a bad drive at all. PCH is mostly congested on the weekends when everyone is off of...

  14. Stop #@$%!* Thief!!!

    chuchie replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    It's okay to be upset. People that steal from those who are in such sickness are scum of the earth. My mother always wore the same pair of diamond stud earings every day that she got from her husband...

    chuchie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

  16. How much do CNA's make in So Cal?

    chuchie replied to Alpha13's topic in California Nursing
