  1. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would be looking at ~200 per credit...$194 I think? And if I get in like I want to, I'll have 35 credits to complete, so $6790 which is crazy cheap when you compare it to the almost $8000 it would...

  2. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Since they advertise for LPN or RN, I'm guessing you don't need a BSN because if they required that, they wouldn't hire

  3. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Doubt it. I hate hospitals, and it takes a hell of a lot for me to even visit family members in the hospital, so I can't imagine ever wanting to work in one. Not just that, but it's so much more...

  4. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What if I have literally no desire whatsoever to ever work in a hospital? Because I don't. And I never have. My dream job is at a pediatrician's office -- yes, if I could choose to do anything out of...

  5. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So I guess it really just depends on the area then. Like I said, my area still hires LPNs in the hospitals which is why I had been planning on getting my LPN, but getting my RN at the community...

  6. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I personally think it's because they want to seem higher up than they actually are. What I've experienced most is people saying they're licensed when they're a CNA...and as you all know, CNAs don't...

  7. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yeah...mommy and daddy aren't paying for this one. They paid for my BA 100% though, so I really can't complain. I'm almost 25 years old, and I've worked full time, in fact, I started on one career...

  8. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I live in a very small city, so the websites of places don't really have any information on them except what position are open. But like the hospital for example (yes, we only have one hospital for...

  9. What do you do in CNA class?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in New York Nursing

    What do you do in CNA class/training? Is it like a mini nursing school? Is there homework/tests? Lab? I know there's clinical...but my employer who is giving this course really didn't tell us anything...

  10. What do you do in CNA class?

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

    Thanks. I really just wasn't sure what to expect. Worried is the last thing I am -- I've already done two semesters of nursing school...so if it's like a mini nursing course, it'll be cake

  11. Question for medical assistants

    SingDanceRunLife replied to helpinghands93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There's an entire subforum for MAs and

  12. Starting CNA Training next week

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

    Bump.

  13. CNA or RN?!?

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

    Some LPN programs are 3 semesters, and with some (like mine), you only get to transfer into the 2nd semester of the RN program. Just something to think

  14. CNA or RN?!?

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

    Like I said, I haven't seen a single one...but it could also be location. I see you're in North Dakota. I'm in NY. And around where I live, if you had to have your CNA before starting nursing school,...

  15. Free CNA training???

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

    I think your best bet is to try and find training at a nursing home. I know a lot in the area I currently live in have paid training (and then of course you have to work for them), and in my hometown...

  16. CNA or RN?!?

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

    I don't think this is true at all. In fact, I haven't seen a single program which required CNA first, and I've looked at quite a

  17. When should I start applying for jobs?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm graduating from my LPN program December 17th, and my instructor said the earliest we'll be able to take our boards is mid to late January because it takes the state that long to process our...

  18. When should I start applying for jobs?

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

    I can't take it until the end of January at the earliest. But I would like to have some options before I take

  19. When should I start applying for jobs?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm graduating from my LPN program December 17th, and my instructor said the earliest we'll be able to take our boards is mid to late January because it takes the state that long to process our...

  20. When should I start applying for jobs?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    I know in NY you don't have to have a license to be hired. You can be hired as a GN (graduate nurse) on the conditions that you'll pass your boards in X amount of time. I also know that for PP I don't...

  21. When should I start applying for jobs?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Upstate NY (don't want to give an exact location, but let's just say about a half hour from Cortland. I go to school in WNY, but am moving back home, 3 hours away, and at home, the county...

  22. How long is your program?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Awesome! I'm Not sure when my classes will be done, but if it's the same as last semester, I'll be done two weeks before graduation. I hope so! I also hope this semester is easier than las semester...

  23. How long is your program?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I go back Monday. But I graduate December

  24. How long is your program?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think mine is still the shortest. Wow. I recalculated it, and it's really only 7 months, not 8. It was about 3 1/2 last semester and is 3 1/2 this

  25. Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just got engaged, but for now have a "stand in" ring so my fiance can save up and get me a "better" (read: more expensive -- it's what he wants and I'm fine with that lol) one. Well I've been...
