    My big goal is to be a NP. But, I plan on taking the long road to that. I want to be an RN first, do a couple of years in the ER to get some experience, then go on to gastroenterology. After that,...
  10. UGH....About that CNA test.....

    The lady I had was very nice. About the 5 skills. For my test, it said that I had to do 5 skills as well, but two of them were handwashing and indirect care (patient privacy, knocking on the door,...
  11. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

  17. Washtenaw Community College

    I don't really know much about the waitlist at Washtenaw moving faster, but, depending on where you live, you may want to consider Oakland C.C. or Schoolcraft, because there is no waitlist. I'm at...

  21. House - Is this what nurses do?

    I watch House, too. It is House's utter disrespect for EVERYONE that probably makes it so popular. I like the show, maybe because I am not a nurse yet, but probably because that is just entertaining...

  25. Favorite Discovery Health Channel Program

    I like Critical Hour the best, but all the shows are great. My husband also HATES when I have it on. He can watch the bloodiest, most sadistic horror movies, but can't handle watching what goes on in...
