  1. Which route is most ideal

    CamMc posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello all, I posted a couple days ago about a slightly different topic, but have a revised question. I had previously been in nursing school (about 10 years ago) and got through 3 of the 4 semesters,...

  2. CNA vs EMT for pre-nursing student

    CamMc posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had posted this on a different thread here, so sorry for the repeat, but hoping maybe it might get some replies in this thread. I tried searching, but there weren't any recent threads on this topic....

  3. CNA vs EMT for pre-nursing student

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

    Thanks! I've still been leaning more towards the EMT side. I just accepted a job as a behavioral health technician at a behavioral hospital that is a part of a large hospital network in my area, so...

  4. New to working overnights

    CamMc posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  5. New to working overnights

    CamMc replied to CamMc's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  6. New to working overnights

    CamMc replied to CamMc's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome! I'm glad you are enjoying

  7. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. Rio Salado College - Bio 156

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

    Haha, the super fast response was partly due to my using this to procrastinate actually doing my Bio work...oops! I'm so close to being done with this class though. I feel like it's manageable to do...

  11. Rio Salado College - Bio 156

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

    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...

  12. Is It Too Demeaning to be a CNA?

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

    Which is better, being an EMT and getting healthcare experience or sitting in an office, staring at computer, being taunted by talking to students who are out there doing what I'm itching to

  13. 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...

  14. 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...

  15. Am I on the right track?

    CamMc posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm on the 2-year wait-list to be accepted into my CC's ADN program. I have about 7-8 years of experience working with kids with special needs and was in a nursing program over 10 years ago, but...

  16. Is It Too Demeaning to be a CNA?

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

    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...

  17. Am I on the right track?

    CamMc replied to CamMc's topic in Emergency

    Thanks, I think I started writing something more about my previous experience and got sidetracked. I definitely understand now that I need to be open to learning about all populations, regardless of...

  18. Is It Too Demeaning to be a CNA?

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

    @e_monpepper I'm in a very similar boat, I have a bachelors and a masters in unrelated fields (social work and applied behavioral analysis respectively) and am now in the process of going back to...

  19. 2 year waiting list?

    CamMc replied to Sccm24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also on the 2 year waitlist to go to MCC for the ADN program, for me it works out great because I need to pay off my credit card debt (which 2 years is about how long it will take me to do so...

  20. CNA vs EMT for pre-nursing student

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

    Thanks for the input, Emergency Dept is something I am definitely considering. I would love to work in a PED's ER at our local children's hospital. I pro-actively took a BLS CPR class this weekend,...

  21. Too insecure

    CamMc replied to RNsoon's topic in General Students

    I know you didn't specifically state that you are transgender, so I apologize if I'm miss understand. I am a trans man and understand the discomfort of gender dysphoria and feel that some use...

  22. Second degree / career change

    CamMc replied to Nutritionturnednurse_tn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You could also start out doing a CNA program, the pay will definitely be less, but gets you experience, then whether you do the LPN route or ADN/BSN route you can be working even if it's just...

  23. I don't want to do nursing anymore??

    CamMc replied to Igevorgyan's topic in General Students

    As someone who has been there, I agree with the advice given above to maybe take some time to just work or explore options at a community college. I was in nursing school back in 2007, to be fair it...

  24. CNA vs EMT while I wait for nursing school

    CamMc posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried searching, but there weren't any recent threads on this topic. I am currently on a two-year waitlist for my local community college's ADN program and retaking some prereqs from my first...

  25. Pre-nursing student relocating

    CamMc posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    I've been in the process of trying to go back to nursing school. I was in the program at Harper back in 2007, made it through the first 2 semesters, failed in the third and decided to move onto...
