   At this point I have already accepted the position, I know enough about the position to believe it will work for me, just trying to mentally prepare for what else might need to change. From what I...

4. New to working overnights

   CamMc replied to CamMc's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks, I feel like regardless of whether I'm a night owl or not, I think this is good practice because I know that often new nurses are offered night shifts, so I will likely end up working nights at...

5. New to working overnights

   CamMc replied to CamMc's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks, that is what I figured, but wanted to see if there was any typical pattern for what weekends would be, I will reach out to the recruiter for clarification. Yeah, I asked the woman interviewing...

   So, I'm not a nurse yet, but I feel like this question applies to any level of nursing/healthcare, but please move if needed. I have just accepted a position as a behavior technician at a behavioral...

7. Rio Salado College - Bio 156

   CamMc replied to LKnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Because I was just doing Bio 156 as a review before taking 201, I think I would still take it online. Future science classes that are more challenging like A&P I'll be taking in person. My...

   I'm just about done with the class, I have my last exam to take this week. I don't think the material was necessarily that hard, but I did find having to do the labs and fully understand the point of...

11. Is It Too Demeaning to be a CNA?

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

    I know I mentioned having my masters degree, so I don't know if this was directed towards my comments which I realize is steering this thread away from the OP. I'm already barely getting by with my...

12. Is It Too Demeaning to be a CNA?

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

    I don’t know if it’s your intent, but you are coming off as rather rude. I’m asking so if I would greatly benefit from being a CNA as opposed to an EMT I can know that before entering into a...

    I recently took a BLS class and the trainer is an EMT who told me that after getting her EMT she worked as an emergency room tech in the ED at the local children's hospital. I have also seen many...

14. Am I on the right track?

    CamMc replied to CamMc's topic in Emergency
