Does anyone know of anyplace to get a TB test done fairly cheap? I need to have documentation of a negative TB before I take my CNA class in October. I don't have health insurance so it puts me in a little bit of a difficult situation. :uhoh21: So i...

:balloons::Melody::flowersfo:yelclap::yelclap::icon_hug::balloons:CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I'm very happy for you!

Hi, I'm considering transferring from Washtenaw C.C over to Oakland C.C so that I can actually get into the nursing program soon and I hear O.C.C. does not have a waitlist. Soooo, did anyone out there graduate from Oakland? If so, how was the progr...

A friend emailed this to me today and I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. I hope it hasn't been posted before. An old man, Mr. Goldstein, was living the last of his life in a nursing home. One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed...

happy mother's day! :balloons:

This has nothing to do with nursing, so I apologize. I'm working for this medical transcription company part time from home. I love the hours, because I can go to school, then come home and work. BUT, now there's a big problem. They have not paid...

Thank you, everyone! I really appreciate the support! Athena, I will definitely check out SoftScript. Maybe I can get the other girls to switch there, too because they are all tired of being treated like slaves. Thank you!

I'm so sorry about your mom! I also lost my mother to breast cancer. It happened almost 11 years ago (I was barely 13) and to this day, something will happen that just makes me start sobbing uncontrollably. A certain song, a scene in a movie, any...

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, I want to have kids and do the stay-at-home mom th...

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, that sort of thing). My 3 other skills were measur...

You know, I was scared to death on my first day of clinicals for the CNA class. I was worried that I would gag or crinkle my nose when changing a brief or something like that, but in all honesty, it's not as bad as you think. Instead of thinking of...

Thank you everyone!!! :loveya:

I passed my CNA State test today. I was sooooo nervous all day yesterday. It was not as bad as I had throught it would be either. Now on to the job-hunt! :biere:

I had trouble with blood pressure, too. My husband bought me a BP cuff with a built in stethescope when I was done with the program. So I just practiced on everyone! You'll do fine! Just practice as much as you can.

Thank you both for replying! It helps a lot! I'm expecting it to be difficult, but I'm prepared to put nursing school above all else!!! Rn2bn07, congratulations on your soon graduation date!!!! :flowersfo :smiley_aa :mortarboard: :cheers:

:biggringi :balloons: :balloons: :Melody: :biere: :smiley_aa :cheers: :icon_hug: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! My state test is coming up Jan 29th and I'm terrified!!! I can only imagine how happy and relieved you must feel!

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 Washtenaw right now, still doing pre-reqs to get on ...

Another vote for Johnny Depp! That's the reason I want to be a nurse...you never know when you could get the chance. LOL, just kidding....kind of....

:balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :cheers: :flowersfo :flowersfo :icon_hug: Congratulations and good luck!!!

:yeahthat: I agree

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 to see how much he can get away with. I know that...

I'm in a CNA class right now. It is only 3 weeks long, but it goes from 9-4 Monday through Friday. We also have 4 clinical days from 7-2. I had my first 2 clinical days this week and LOVED it. It's a rough class and the chemistry class that I'm i...

:selfbonk: :Crash: :behindpc: :beercuphe I like these guys

I'm not a nurse yet, but when I am, my goal is to work in St. Joe's in Ann Arbor. I LOVE that hospital. Always have (I was actually born there!). Sorry, I don't know much about the work factor, but just had to state (again, I know I've posted it befo...

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 an ER.
