  1. Holden Health?

    Thanks! I'm really thinking about applying there now. I heard it has a good reputation and a CNA instructor told me that they have a very good LPN program. Thanks
  2. CNA salary

    I'm on the New Hampshire/Mass border. I was told today that pay range in NH for a CNA is anywhere from $10-$12 an hour....but Mass is higher, ranging from $13-$16. I'll definitely be working in Mass...
  3. :yeahthat: To the OP, I've also messed up, except I did in highschool. I graduated hs with only a 2.0, and I now have a 3.8 in college after I decided to get my act together. You can do anything you...

  5. How did you know the LPN/LVN route was for you???

    I've decided to go the LPN route first after I become a CNA. I really don't want to wait 2 years just to get into nursing school. I know I'm still young, but I want to get out there and start working...
  6. LVN to RN

    I'm the same way, also...I'm a horrible test taker...I absorb the material in class and feel like I know it, I'll study until I think I have it down, and then once the test comes...I blank- I wish I...
  7. baby sleeping in same bed as parents

  9. Do I let her know about my brother??

    I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Suicide has also affected my family---although we stopped my sister before she could do anything. 3 years later, she's a much happier person now. Depression is a...
  10. Got the job!!!

  11. Wish me luck...TEAS test today

    LOL!! That sounds like something I would do. Are you applying to an RN program or LPN program? I'm applying to an LPN program this fall, so I'll be taking the TEAS test at the end of the year and...
  12. Sorry Chemistry again..just looking for opinions

    Yikes...sounds like your teacher is horrible. I had a REALLY bad teacher when I took Chem 3 years ago....I shudder just thinking about it. The sad part is, I can't remember ONE thing I learned from...
  13. Statistics

    Blove- You'll probably have different opinions from people about Statistics, but I think it's the most interesting math class I've ever taken. I wouldn't exactly call it EXCITING, but it's been easier...

  17. Need some guidance to be an LPN!!!!

    I don't know if there are any LPN programs on-line, at least not any that are accredited. I've tried looking but couldn't find any. Maybe someone else will know of one. But anyways, your best bet is...
  18. I got in for the Fall!

    Congrats!!!!
  19. What area of nursing would you like to go into???

    I've always wanted to work with children, so I eventually want to work in pediatrics...or maybe PICU? But who knows, I may change my mind end up in something totally different, such as
  20. Difference between CNA & MA?

    Wow, that seems like a lot of money.... I agree that you can't really talk her out of it, but is she planning on being a nurse
  21. My CNA classes started today!

    Good luck! You must be very excited. I can't wait to start my classes this summer.
  22. You're going to Community College?

    I'm not saying all students are like this at universities, but most of my friends that go to large universities are now failing out of school because they party too much. I went to a well-known...
  23. CNA's: What's your favorite shift?

    Thanks for all the replies. :) I think I'm going to try and work either 7-3 or 3-11...hopefully a mix of both, like my friend is doing now at a nursing home. I'm a morning person, so it shouldn't be...
