  1. CNA exam in New York

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

    I have no desire to work in a hospital. I never have. I have checked into all of the nursing homes where I live, and they all require you to be certified unless you're only doing non clinical

  2. CNA exam in New York

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

    Darn! I have absolutely no way of doing a program! There are literally only 2 available where I live...and one is only available to high school students, and the other wouldn't accept me because the...

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

    Anyone? I'm really curious about

  4. First nursing class: Complete!

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in General Students

    I don't know if anyone else is in the same boat...but I just finished my first nursing class today, and it feels awesome! I got a B+, which isn't what I wanted (I was aiming for an A), but I was only...

  5. Cheap steth with good sound?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's that the steths that were provided to us are low quality. Mine works fine, it's just not quality. The first one I got was a dud, but the school did let me exchange for a new one. Our primary use...

  6. First nursing class: Complete!

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Thanks! Nope. We have 15 week semesters! It's just the first nursing class we take is only 5 weeks long, the second is 10, and the third (and most after that) are 15. Some are shorter, but the...

  7. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    SingDanceRunLife replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I finished my first nursing class (Fundamental Nursing Skills) today...and I got a

  8. what class kicked your backside?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P...but only A&P I, and not A&P

  9. How did you cover your tuition costs?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to CSellers3's topic in General Students

    Three words: Mommy and Daddy. Although...that's not completely true. I wouldn't have chosen to come to this school if I hadn't gotten a scholarship (it's for $10,000/year, so a fair chunk of the...

  10. Nursing/Med Prep for High School Senior

    SingDanceRunLife replied to schiu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does she want to go into medicine or nursing? They are two different

  11. Is it common....

    SingDanceRunLife replied to lillian2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As someone much closer to your age than most on this board (I'm 19, 20 at the end of October) who is in nursing school, but within a program that's at a 4 year college, I can completely understand the...

  12. Interview Attire....

    SingDanceRunLife replied to hwhite7787's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I did my nursing school interview, it was February in Upstate NY, so it wasn't what one would call warm... I wore a cute, but conservative patterned skirt (formal), and a faux white button down...

  13. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    SingDanceRunLife replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    So would you have considered me a nursing student last year? I was accepted into the nursing program in February/March of 2009, started the prereqs in August of 2009, but just started my nursing...

  14. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    SingDanceRunLife replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    What if, like me last year, you are not in nursing classes, but you are in a nursing program? Would it be dishonest to say that you're a nursing major when as far as the school is concerned you are?...

  15. Becoming A LPN While In RN Program

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Ccutie515's topic in General Students

    That is correct. I'm in NY as well, and I have looked into

  16. public health or acute care nursing

    SingDanceRunLife replied to dedicate's topic in General Nursing

    I have no desire to work in a hospital after I get out of school. Ever. I just never have. I'm much more into the community/public health aspect of nursing, and to be perfectly honest, don't like...

  17. Anyone okay with just being a nurse?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    Around me it's mostly RNs that get hired, and LPNs are primarily working in LTC settings. We were talking about this in class yesterday, and think about it, nursing is one of the only professions that...

  18. Blood Pressure Blues

    SingDanceRunLife replied to metricalpound's topic in General Students

    I was having major trouble at first, and in all honesty, the most important tip I can give you is practice, practice, practice! I texted all my friends and asked them if I could use them to practice,...

  19. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    SingDanceRunLife replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    All of last year (my first year of college), I said that I was a nursing student even though I was just in my pre-nursing classes...but it wasn't a false statement because at my school, you are...

  20. Anyone doing better in NS than prereqs etc.?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in General Students

    I know that for most people, it goes that they do better in the prereqs and/or their previous degrees than in nursing school...but I'm the complete opposite. I'm doing at least as well in NS so far as...

  21. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I think that may or may not be true. Instead of having us take a medical terminology class, during the first semester at our school, we are required to learn about 20 roots/week and then answer...

  22. Is 50+ pages of reading a week "normal?"

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    50 pages is pretty much nothing. That's like one chapter...and in my class, each test covers about 3 of those chapters in 1 book, and then 2 more chapters half that length in another...and we have a...

  23. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    We talked about this in class today, and here are the definitions that we got. Client: An autonomous, active participant in care with the freedom of choice. Patient: A passive recipient of care. And...

  24. How many clincial hours?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    ASN program has 720, but with my BSN classes I'll have almost 1000 when I

  25. how do YOU take notes?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go along with the handout(s) that the teachers give us before class! They're fill in the blank and go right along with the Powepoint/lecture Yes I know I'm
