  1. LPN vs RN

    DreamyEyes replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

    It's true that a lot of hospitals don't hire LPN's now. But, there are tons of opportunities in home health, LTC, assisted living facilities, and clinics. I'm going for my LPN first, because there is...

  2. Your best/worst experience.

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

    I've only been to clinical so far, but I'll be starting as a nursing assistant at the end of this month, so hope you don't mind me answering. :) My best experience during clinical was dealing with a...

  3. Please Read!!

    DreamyEyes replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for replying! I'm just a little frustrated, because I got hired at a LTC facility today, but they won't start my orientation until I get my license. I keep checking on the BON website, but...

  4. In Dr. office?

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

    Unfortunately, I don't think CNA's work in doctor's offices. At least not around here. I also want to get into the clinical setting. I'm currently a nursing assistant and just recently got a job in...

  5. start classes tonight

    DreamyEyes replied to stine75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congrats on starting class! Don't worry, you definitely won't be the oldest in the class, I'm sure of it. There were a lot of age differences in my class. Good luck.

  6. I'm an idiot

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

    Thanks pagandeva....Well the DON already knows I have another job right now, because of my application, but I told her on the phone that I'm planning on giving my 2 weeks there anyway. (I don't think...

  7. I'm an idiot

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Woops....so I filled out an application at the nursing home that I had clinicals at, because I think it would be a great place to work. Now, it asked which shift I'd want to work, and I checked the...

  8. I'm an idiot

    DreamyEyes replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for everyone's advice. I guess I'm just going to stick with the night shift if I'm offered the job, and if I can't adjust I can always ask to be switched, like everyone said. Maybe I'll end up...

  9. I'm an idiot

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in General Nursing

    (I also posted this on the CNA forum - I hope you don't mind me posting here, just thought I'd get a little more responses!) So I filled out an application at the nursing home that I had clinicals at,...

    DreamyEyes replied to snook's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to allnurses.com!

  11. I'm an idiot

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

    Thank you girls. I think I'm going to try night shift out...:uhoh21: if I have a really hard time adjusting, hopefully they'll put me on another

  12. help bed pan

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

    Good luck to both of you on your skills

  13. should I become a cna while doing pre-reqs

    DreamyEyes replied to shalamar's topic in Nursing Career

    I would highly suggest becoming a CNA. I just finished a CNA course because I wanted to gain experience before going to nursing school, and I'm glad I did. It might even better your chances of getting...

  14. It Seems Like It's Student Nurses vs The Nursing Staff

    DreamyEyes replied to APBT mom's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear about your experiences. I'm not a student nurse yet, but when I had clinical rotation for CNA training, I had nothing but good experiences with the nurses there. I even had a nurse help...

  15. Skill Test On Tuesday

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

    Hey Greysa- I didn't want to get any skills! I think it's normal to be really nervous-everyone in my class was. The skill I really didn't want to get was helping a resident use a bedpan, because we...

  16. Calling after applying online?

    DreamyEyes replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

    Even though a lot of them do require you to apply on-line, I would still fill out a few applications in person at some of the hospitals. I applied somewhere on-line, and didn't hear anything back for...

  17. NCLEX-PN Testing (kinda long, sorry)

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

    Congratulations!!

  18. I failed my skills test.

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

    Wow-Do you feel that your teacher really prepared you for the exam, or do you think the proctor is just really tough? :uhoh21: That really sucks that your classmates failed, also. In my class, we all...

  19. Schweet

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

    Good luck!! It goes by really fast. You'll be a CNA before you know

  20. Questions for LPN's

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

    Thanks for everyone's replies so far! Anyone

  21. Applying for jobs

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

    Azor- It's not 120 days until I can get my license, at least I hope not! I should be getting my license within the next week or so....but in N.H., you have 120 days to work in a nursing home or...

  22. Applying for jobs

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So, I've been applying for jobs after completing my CNA course on Friday. I've applied at a few places on-line, but haven't heard anything back yet (It's only been a couple days.) I know I should be...

  23. Applying for jobs

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

    Okay, so I'm a little upset... As I've said before in this post, I've applied to a few local nursing homes and assisted living facilities. I filled out an application on Tuesday at an assisted living...

  24. Feeding Residents

    DreamyEyes replied to pat8585's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yup, you do have to wait whether it be 30 minutes or 3 hours. When I was doing clinical rotation at a nursing home, we had one woman who would literally take 3 hours just to eat all her food with...

  25. I failed my skills test.

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

    Awww, Zooz! I can only imagine how bummed you must feel. I can't believe the proctor failed you for leaving the bath blanket on, though, especially since you made it known to her that you would have...
