I am doing a speech on communication in nursing for my communications class. I would like to open with a gripping story about how a lack of good communication with a patient led to an avoidable bad outcome. I have been searching online but have not...

I have never done ROMs or seen any of my fellow CNA's do them in any of the 3 places I have worked. I agree that it is important and should be done but how can you when there are other people are waiting to go to the bathroom and you have already sk...

Although the academic portion does not transfer, I have heard that the experience of being a CNA makes it easier to get through the classes because it is all stuff you see in action already instead of being new and scary. It also gives you relavent ...

I am considering going to Everest (Grand Rapids, MI) for my LPN, but I do want to go on for my RN. I have been reading scary posts from people that say you would have to start over because the credits wont transfer. Is it possible to enter an LPN to ...

I would wait if you are able to keep on as you are. Maybe take some medical terminology or something like you said. I just got on a 3 year waiting list, but I have to do all my pre requasites so It should keep me busy in the meantime.

I am a CNA, 32 hours right now, but I am looking for a weekend option job before classes start. I would make the same money and work only 2 days. If that works out I may study full time instead of half time.

I am desperately seeking such a shift before I start school, but they are hard to find.people really hang on to them. Congratulations on the new job!

I would just do it if you are worried. When I took the class it was just a one time 2 hour ordeal, no big thing.

I am starting A&P 1 in January also. It will be my first class since high school (11 years ago) so I am nervous:stone:stone:stone. I took biology and chemistry in High school so I am not required to take them again and I do not want to waste time...

Definately do rounds and politely ask them to correct the problem before they go next time. In the places I have worked this is the rule you should do rounds anyway just to make sure that everyone is safe and has their alarms and so on because you a...

You have to find out the COA or total cost of attendance. This is what is estimated your cost will be including living expences. Your school should have and estimated COA and this is the maximum you can borrow. I think it used to be that privvate lo...

I wonder this myself because I live in Michigan and jobs are hard to come by. There do seem to always be openings for LPNs and RNs though.

Don't beat yourself up too much. Earnings is a big factor. It is the reason we work and it deserves consideration. I have been a CNA for a few years now and I really love my job. I am pretty sure I will enjoy my job less as an RN but my family simp...

I took the CNA class at Walker Medical. It seemed good although I dont have anything to compare to. I have been working as a CNA for 2 years now and rarely meet people who went anywhere else.

Medical assistant- 10 months, $11,000 for school CNA- 3 weeks $600 for school This is what was available to me so I became a CNA. I always have a job. I know MAs who do not and end up working as CNAs. From my online research it looks like the pay is ...

I made these flashcards to study. The first 2 links are to my conversions flashcards, and the 3rd is to all my hesi addmissions test study cards. Good Luck! http://quizlet.com/1079859/measurement-conversions-flash-cards/ http://quizlet.com/1084051/c...

Good for you! I took mine last Friday and got a 91. We only took the math, grammar, reading, and vocab. I thought it followed the official study guide pretty closely. http://www.amazon.com/Evolve-Reach-Admission-Assessment-Review/dp/1416056351/ref=sr...

Is it possible to get student loans for more than cost of attendance? I am going to attend a community college and I called the financial aide office to see what the "total cost of attendance" is and she said it is only about $12.000 per year for so...

They gave me mine immediately when I finished my test.

Hi Michelle! I am starting my pre reqs in January as well. I have not been to school since high school 11 years ago! I am really nervous, but I took my HESI today and got 90+ in all areas so I think I will be OK. I have two girls 16 months and 5 year...

I was going to take the LPN and go for RN later (RNs make A LOT more money and have more choices and opportunities) But at my school That means getting on another waiting list and taking many extra classes, so Now I am just going to go strait for my ...

I drew vital signs an one of my skills and the peorson had a very hard to hear BP. It was not accurate and I failed. I passed easily the second time and am an excelent CNA and I love my job. Good luck and don't worry to much!

I have pretty much decided to wait for the ADN as well. It takes almost 2 full time semesters extra to do the LPN first, and I do want to be an RN eventually. Have you looked into nursing homes? I am a CNA and work with a quite a few LPNs and RNs ali...

I am getting on that wait list right now! I take my HESI in one week, and That is my last requirement. I do have to take all the prereqs so that will keep me busy part time. Is it really 3 years? More? Less?

Yes I have looked into all these loans, but they all say that you can not borrow past the schools "total cost of attendance". How I understand it I would not be able to get more than the $12,000 total no mater where I get the loans. I only talked t...
