DTCC PreRN

Long story cut short...MIL fell a couple of years ago and had to have her hip replaced. Approx. 24 hrs later she seized in the hospital. No history of seizures and none since...until a few days ago. MIL is a retired RN (only worked as an RN for about...

Congratulations on getting the job at the nursing home. I was interested in working at Duke or Durham Regional as well but the thought of working for the LTC or Hospice facilities in town sound so much more appealing right now. I'm continuing my edu...

Hi Adorblepuppy, I just came across your post and was interested to know if you got a job at Duke. Regards,

Hi Bella Luna, I'm also a student at ACC (couldn't change my username). I love ACC and hope to be accepted into the program for Fall 2010. I attended an informational session yesterday and the department head stated that if you have 11-12 points yo...

Hi everyone, Anyone here from NC who knows where CNA classes are offered on the weekend? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide. :redpinkhe

Monday is test day. My first biology test of the semester and I have no idea what to study for. The instructor told us to memorize a ton of images from our text book, be prepared to draw carbon chains, fatty acid chains, etc, and learn a little more ...

Thanks caliotter3. The first test is usually the worse but I really don't want to earn a bad grade. I know what I have to do and it looks like there's going to be a couple of really long nights in my future. Good luck with your bio class and please ...

From where I'm sitting it looks like you're doing a heck of a lot better than they are. Maybe a gentle reminder might help humble them a bit. :nuke:

Hi everyone, I was formally diagnosed with Chiari I yesterday (8mm herniation, 34 y/o.) and am in the process of being referred to a neurosurgeon. I need a little help deciding what to ask the surgeon when we meet. I'm not 100% convinced that surge...

I'd like to post a thank you to the professionals who helped me after taking a nasty fall from my horse in late June. It was on a Wednesday afternoon, my husband and I were leaving the next day to pick our daughter up from Surf Camp. I went to the b...

Thank you for the reply. I found out in early June that I have Chiari I. I went to my neurologist for my annual checkup for migraines and confessed my new symptoms. He recommended accupressure. I didn't think that was a valid solution so went to see ...

I'll be sure to do that now that I know one of my barn mates knows the EMS team who helped me. I still can't get over how small our world is. :loveya:

How is this for coincedence. I was talking to the new boarder this past Tuesday, (she had on an EMS shirt) and discovered she was on call the afternoon of my fall. Her best friend was one of the EMS techs who helped me. She also gave me the name of t...

Have you considered contacting your local news station or even a local newspaper and going to them with a story. I'm sure the public would be interested in hearing about a hospital who doesn't hold it's communities best interest at heart. I would go...

Took my second CHM 131 test last night. (made a 91 on my 1st one) 3 hours long and finished 2 out of 3 pages. Thank goodness I wasn't the only one. We're being tested on electronegitivity, oxidation/reduction, oxidation states, balanceing reactions, ...

I grew my hair out so I could donate it. Last year in CHM class the guy behind me kept pulling mine out! What the heck? I finally asked him what he was doing with all my hair. He just said he liked it. It was long and shiney. I also must add that he ...

Not sure if you're interested in working for an agency or not, but Bayada and Maxim Healthcare have ads on Careerbuilder for CNA's in Burlington. May be a good opportunity for you to get your foot in the door somewhere. Good luck to you. I hope you ...

Ahhh. A topic I know a little about. Which VI are you movinig to? Will it be one of the USVI's or one of the Britis VI's. If it's US, then no quarenine. St. Croix is an absolutely lovely island. Much better to live on than St. Thomas. Less populated...

The first CC I was enrolled with did not have a point system. It was wait list only. They required all prospective RN's to have their CNA before they graduated. Working as a CNA was not a requirement. The CC I'm currently enrolled with does work on ...

There seems to always be a catch doesn't there? Keep plugging away, you'll find a solution.

For anyone in the Durham, NC area looking for an alternative to weekday classes; here's what I've found out. Nursing/Rest homes no longer offer CNA training. I called every last one of them. The good news: Peidmont Community College in Roxboro offer...

Bump.

Hi Jacq2010, Welcome and congratulations! I think choosing the BSN or ADN route depends on your personal situation. I'm going the ADN to BSN route b/c I don't have a degree and because I work full-time. Going to a community college allows me the flex...

Three of my five uncles: Tedom, Dorsey Lee, and Hartwell. The other two had normal names. My five aunts all have normal names. Fortunately the three above go by normal names instead of their given names.

For me, it's the sedentary lifestyle I want to get away from. I work as a recruiter and sit on my toosh all day. Pay is great and I even get to work from home twice a week. But, I don't like being behind a desk. I want to be around people and const...
