    sunbeach73 replied to sunbeach73's topic in General Nursing

    P_RN, that's what worries me. Not trying to dis anyone here, but I feel like I was trained to be an LPN and offered a CNA position. I know CNA's work hard. I kind of wish I had done that before I went...

  8. Traction tech and not an LPN

    sunbeach73 replied to sunbeach73's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what I want exactly. I just don't want to be put in a lower position. I was thinking this was more along the lines of a patient tech. I really need to get my foot in the door, so I guess...

    sunbeach73 replied to sasparilla's topic in General Nursing

    Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get a nursing tech or CNA job. Trust me on this when I tell you, if you don't it will be hard to find work. I am still looking for work. No one wants to hire me...

    sunbeach73 replied to whiskeygirl's topic in General Nursing

    Kim O Therapy, when my daughter was a baby something similar happened to her. I was letting her play in the bathtub...she was like 9-10 months old. Her toothbrush was an adult soft bristle...

    sunbeach73 replied to whiskeygirl's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is a disgusting story ...My sister was about 18 months old. My parents always let us kids have gum and candy. My baby sister never knew that you couldn't "eat" gum, so she always swallowed it....

  15. Interview help?? Please respond

    sunbeach73 replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I would go to the interview. At least go and see what choices you have before you totally throw one option away. See what each has to offer. That's what I would do.

  17. Help with job application!!

    sunbeach73 replied to givingheart's topic in General Nursing

  18. Help with job application!!

    sunbeach73 replied to givingheart's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a company that does background screenings. This would not be considered falsification. It has nothing to do with nursing so I wouldn't expect that they would even be worried about it. I...

  19. Has anyone attended the Galen Institute for the R.N. program?

    sunbeach73 replied to NurseT17's topic in Florida Nursing
