  1. CNA/LPN/RN Pay in Georgia?

    chesara posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hey, I live in Savannah and want to enter nursing. I'm probably going to start out as an LPN and then bridge to RN later after I have some experience and I'm comfortable with the job. I thought of...

  2. Care Plans?

    chesara replied to StudentAndMommy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Honestly, doing care plans was one of the reason's I didn't continue with my second quarter of the program. We didn't even "learn" how to do them until the end of our first quarter when we started...

  3. For mrsraisinkain

    chesara replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know it's probably too late to help you but when I had to do my catheter check-off, this youtube video really helped me a lot We got to take home a kit for practice although it's hard to do without...

  4. Well.......................................?

    chesara replied to *Scrubs*'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm only a few days into a 12 month program so I don't really know yet what to think. We haven't had a test yet so I'll be able to say more about that next week. For the first quarter, we only take...

  5. Need some advice on CNA exam

    chesara replied to 1uvakindmom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took my test in GA and didn't find MA on the listing for the company that administers ours. But I did find the below website for you (in their search box, type "Nurse Aide" and it will take you to...

  6. Working while in LVN school

    chesara replied to fascinoma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My program is a year long and starts tomorrow. At orientation they really put the fear in us that we shouldn't work while in school. I don't think that is a realistic expectation for a lot of people....

  7. New LPN students??

    chesara replied to PinkLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey everyone, I got my acceptance letter on Saturday and will start classes at the end of this month! I'm excited and nervous. My program is one year so hopefully by the end of March '09 I will be a...

  8. I got accepted to LPN School!!!!!!!!

    chesara replied to mgalloLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I thought I'd piggyback onto this thread instead of starting a new one. Today I got my acceptance letter into the program! I start at the end of this month. I've finished the pre-requisites and now...

  9. failed test!

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

    LittleNC, I'm so sorry you didn't pass the skills part. My heart goes out to you because I too was so afraid of that portion. Oddly enough, you and I had the exact same skills. My ROM was for the...

  10. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    chesara replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The last few weeks have been stressful to say the least but today I took my exam and I PASSED! :anpom::dncgcpd: The class ended a couple of weeks ago but we had to wait for the state to send the...

  11. Talking to Residents

    chesara replied to shy_wolf101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Your classmates sound like jerks and I'd ignore their remarks. Take your cues from the instructor. And it's perfectly fine to ask how they are doing. We are supposed to be their first line of defense...

  12. CNA Exam with Promissor

    chesara posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'll be taking the state exam late February and I'm concerned about the 25 minute time limit to complete 5 skills. The instructor said the reason most people fail the skills part is because they run...

  13. CNA Exam with Promissor

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

    jb2u, thank you for putting it into something I can read and evaluate. I do think with practice I'll feel better and we haven't even done clinicals yet. But I also know the "real world" and doing it...

  14. CNA Exam with Promissor

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

    I also posted in the GA Nursing thread but nobody has responded so I thought I might have better luck here. If you've taken the CNA exam in GA, or in a state that uses Promissor for the exam, I would...

  15. 4 days until my test!

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

    Wow, 2 hours - lucky you! I'm in a CNA course now and will take the exam late February. In Georgia you're given 5 skills and only have 25 minutes to do them! Handwashing is definitely one of them,...

  16. Short course vs. Longer

    chesara posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was just wondering if there was any difference in what you learn if you take a 6 week CNA course vs. longer at a tech school. Here's my situation - currently I'm enrolled in pre-req's for the LPN...

  17. recent grad CNA student...

    chesara replied to Bluemoon576's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Add me to the list of older people starting a nursing career! I just turned 40, in school for LPN, and will be taking a CNA course in January so that I can get some experience and income while in...

  18. Short course vs. Longer

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

    Thanks everyone for your advice. I'm happy to hear it doesn't matter how long the course is. I can't wait to

  19. Savannah Tech?

    chesara replied to Jessi_w's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I took Med Terminology last quarter and taking A&P this quarter. The teacher I have for A&P recommended taking A&P first when someone in the class asked her but I don't think it matters a...

  20. Savannah Tech?

    chesara replied to Jessi_w's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I took it online and came away with an A but we didn't have any study guide for what would be on the tests so you pretty much had to try and remember it all. I don't know who you have but sorry to...

  21. Savannah Tech?

    chesara replied to Jessi_w's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm in my last quarter of pre-reqs at Savannah Tech. The LPN program only admits in the spring and fall so I'm hoping I'll make it for spring '08. I've heard different things about the waiting list....

  22. Anyone in school to become LPN??

    chesara replied to jabrimama's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm enrolled at Savannah Tech and have 3 weeks left of my first quarter of pre-reqs. I love my Medical Terminology class. My other class is Diet & Nutrition which is okay but since I'm taking it...

  23. sexual jokes in the workplace

    chesara replied to penguin2's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't enter the joke phase at a job until I got to know people pretty well, and even then I'd be careful about the types of jokes I'd tell (and to who). But I think sexual jokes can lead to all...

  24. Say something or not?

    chesara replied to pannie's topic in General Nursing

    Just to offer a different perspective, I've had calls left on my answering machine from doctor's offices that were not for me or anyone in my family. So it could be possible this person did dial a...

  25. Too poor to become a nurse?

    chesara replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you have to fill out FAFSA no matter what, even if you don't think you're eligible. It's usually the first step in the financial aid/loan process. I always do mine on-line and I'm never...
