  1. nursing home and state first day on the job.

    DreamyEyes replied to greysa32's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I definitely wouldn't stay there if you're not happy. Irenejoy is right, there are plenty of other facilities that are actually nice inside and aren't disorganized. I went through something similar as...

  2. I don't like my job :(

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

    Thanks everyone. I actually quit the LTC facility today- It wasn't the work I hated doing, it was the facility I think that was making me have second thoughts. But I know that not all nursing homes...

  3. Please Read!!

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question for all you LNA's out there in New Hampshire. I hope someone can answer! I finished my LNA course on August 24th, on Friday. I received my test results in the mail the following...

  4. Please Read!!

    DreamyEyes replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! I did get my license a couple weeks ago (I emailed the NH BON, and my license was posted a day later), and I'm working at a LTC right now.

  5. Ok if you don't like nursing what other field?

    DreamyEyes replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    Well, nursing is definitely not for everyone. But I wouldn't make a decision on your career based on what other people are saying. Yes, you can get very burnt out in the nursing profession, but if...

  6. Salary Negociations??

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

    Congrats on the new job! :balloons: Are you going to be working in a hospital or nursing

  7. Workload CNA w/ A&P

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

    Whoa! Your class is long! And I thought 6 hours was bad. How many weeks is it? I remember I couldn't wait to get to clinical, because I would get so bored just sitting there for 6 hours during

  8. Your best/worst experience.

    DreamyEyes replied to Bebi11's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    :barf01: Yikes!! I think I would have thrown

  9. Workload CNA w/ A&P

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

    I didn't really study during CNA classes to tell you the truth - I'd look over my notes if I had a quiz the next day, but that's about it. I think it's do-able to take A&P and a CNA class,...

  10. Which one would you choose?

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a choice between two schools to attend for my LPN. School #1 is known for their great LPN program, and it's only about 10 minutes away from me. Their NCLEX pass rate is 100%, and they just...

  11. I Got In at Ivy Tech Bloomington

    DreamyEyes replied to jackson145's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!

  12. Which one would you choose?

    DreamyEyes replied to DreamyEyes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks for your replies, it sounds like I should go for #2. KAT7AP- It's actually full time! I don't know why it's 4 semesters, just the way the classes are broken down, I guess. But I don't really...

  13. I passed the HESI/Entrance exam!!!!!!!!

    DreamyEyes replied to nurseontheway's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! :balloons: I have to take the pre-entrance exam soon and I'm really nervous. When do you start

  14. when did you go to work

    DreamyEyes replied to greysa32's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We are also allowed to work for up to 120 days here before we receive our license. (In N.H., we're "licensed" instead of certified.) The BON doesn't mail our licenses anymore, though, so I had to keep...

  15. State Inspection was in

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

    Awesome! I would assume it's pretty hard to get a perfect score in LTC

  16. Giving showers

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This may be a stupid question, but when you give showers on the morning shift, do you do it before or after breakfast? Or does it just depend on the resident? I'm wondering because I'll be starting my...

  17. MY first day of clinicals

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

    Sounds like you had a great first day! The peri-care part made me laugh...On my first day of clinical I remember I had to get a stool sample! :uhoh21: Good luck with the rest of clinicals.

  18. Questions for LPN's

    DreamyEyes replied to DreamyEyes's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You did your LPN schooling on-line? Is there anyway you can give me the website link or send me any info regarding this school?

  19. Questions for LPN's

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    i have a few questions for all you lpn's out there, hope you don't mind answering them. 1) were you a cna before you started lpn school, or did you have any backround working in healthcare...

  20. Possible to become RN with 2.1 HS GPA?

    DreamyEyes replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I had a 2.2 GPA in highschool. When I attended college, I had a 3.8 GPA and made the president's list for 2 semesters. Anything is possible, and I think that if she does well in pre-reqs,...

  21. be a cna first ? if possible yes!!!

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

    Pre-reqs are the classes you have to take before applying to RN programs. Some LPN programs also have pre-reqs that are required, but a lot don't, which is why many people choose to go the LPN route...

  22. How hard is intro to chemistry?

    DreamyEyes replied to Trose84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a really hard time with Chemistry, but I'm also horrible at math and it was mostly the equations that I had trouble with. As long as you pay attention and make sure to study, I'm sure you'll do...

  23. CNA Training

    DreamyEyes replied to studentmom2007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can always do the CNA course, but keep in mind that you can work as one after a certain amount of time in nursing school, and most hospitals LOVE to hire student nurses. L&D is a hard area to...
