hello!!! fellow filipino....hahah even though im half!! anyways, i love texas even though i dont live there anymore...hopefully someday it will be my home-state....permanently!! i am a hs student and im also pursuing a career in nursing...........hopefully i'll make it.!!

tnx alot.. i am still in a process of searching a program that will suit my interest......it is soo frustrating..it's like , one day you find something you really like and then the next day you'll see other things that sounds better...and then you think to urself, "should i go for this one instead?"

okay..i just found a college but they dont offer LPN/LVN classes, instead they have Medical Assisting....which i don't mind getting into... i have a pretty good idea of what an MA does, but as far as getting into an RN program with an MA background, will it help?? Also, does which one gets paid more?? ...the reason i ask is that I will be working my way to pay for college, so ..you know how it goes...:-)

whats ur story???

awwww, what a great story.. there are still great, caring nurses out there after all.!!!! keep up the good work

I wish you good luck and hopefully you can put that "old hag" to the spot.. i believe in karma...what goes around, comes around....she will get her chance ...:angryfire

hey...what was your most unforgettable experience in your career??? tell about it!!!:chuckle

I'm in the same boat as you are, but i think it would depend on how much time u have and how much money you can spend....any one of those is a win-win...but i would prefer LPN - i just think it would provide more experience...CNA is good, but i just hear alot of "horror" stories.... MA is good if u want less contact with pts.

and i can honestly say in the number of times i have done this or seen it done not once did the patient complain.you're a cold person. what a cruel, hurtful thing to say. :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire i agree!! atleast ask!.....what if that was ur child?? "ohh never mind, i don't think u would care one bit!"

ohh god bless u...tnx alot.. i'll pass the link to my fellow highschoolers..:balloons:

First, which one is better? Second, can u get a licensed or certified in CNA or LPN in a community college?? Third, does it matter if the school is accredited or not? Last, if I have one of the other, will that give me an advantage into getting accepted into a nursing school to be an RN?

oh..simple enough...both comments are really helpful... i just hope i don't regret something...........i don't know why, but i felt like i need to hurry on getting this nursing stuff over with..

ohhh..no i did not considered that (i'll look it up too)...but you see, i read online that it is best to have some experience before someone could be accepted into a nursing school....like being an lvn first before rn..... would i be wasting my time into being a lvn first? im really confused...

hello, i am currently a hs student enrolled in a program where i am learning pre-nursing stuff and soon i will be getting my stna. anywayz, i am really confused on how to go about starting my career in healthcare field...(nursing)...so here are my questions: 1. what is the best way to get into an rn school? 2. what can i do to be more competitive in getting into a nursing program? 3. should i become a crn or lpn/lvn first??? which one is better? here is my goal: to have a masters degree in nursing....and hopefully continue my education into becoming a physician's assistant... your feedback is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
