  1. Heading to the bookstore...

    wrobelchic replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's a good idea. I didn't even realize you could buy something like that, but I def think I would benefit from it, b/c math doesn't come easily to me.

  2. Got my letter from the college

    wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start school Sept 6. I can't wait. I have two text books so far, but they're not mine. I borrowed from someone who was in the class last year. The woman at orientation said that they might or might...

  3. Got my letter from the college

    wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree about the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything happened so fast. I hear so many horror stories about being on waiting lists, etc. I procrastinated in taking my entrance exam for the...

  4. Who Would Like To Be Part Of The Lose Weight And Get Healthy Team?!

    wrobelchic replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    lol, boy do I know that feeling (lifting the girls a little bit higher). Well, congrats on the weight lost and keeping it off. I think the hardest part for me is though I'm an intelligent person and...

  5. Heading to the bookstore...

    wrobelchic replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so much. I didn't think about skipping around. LOL. I'm doing really well with the fundamentals. I'm re-learning some stuff I learned when I was certified almost 8 years ago and learning lots...

  6. My orientation!

    wrobelchic replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Joann, well, I am taking mine at Questar lll which is a part of Boces, I believe. I'm taking their LPN program. I'm in Troy, however. I plan at some point in the future to further my education and...

  7. Who Would Like To Be Part Of The Lose Weight And Get Healthy Team?!

    wrobelchic replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's not too late, I think I'll start too. Ok, so I'm more than 3 months late on this one (wouldn't be the first time). Anyway, a co-worker and I decided we were going to diet together and be each...

  8. My orientation!

    wrobelchic replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi. JoannD, just wondering what school you'll be attending. I also start school in Upstate NY on 9/6, maybe classmates? Anyway I wanted to thank the person for the original post...I have my...

  10. Got my letter from the college

    wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you both so very much. I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. And my poor co-workers, that's all they hear about now, lol. One of my girls is even calling me "nurse".

  11. Heading to the bookstore...

    wrobelchic replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That last post was really good advice. The problem here is, I work as a CNA and my nurse really takes me under her wing and tries to let me watch and/or help and tries to teach me things sometimes. A...

  12. Good nursing Lit?!?

    wrobelchic replied to Nurmom86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One more thing I didn't think of until just recently, do you know anyone who already went through nursing school? I asked a co-worker of mine who was enrolled just this year if I could borrow one of...

  13. How many parents in here?

    wrobelchic replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I work full time as a CNA and I'm a mother of 4 boys, ages, 11, 8, 7, and 2. My household is pretty busy. Hubby helps alot, though we don't see each other. My mother was employed full time with 3...

    wrobelchic replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to you!! That's great. I'm floating on the same cloud you are! I received my acceptance letter in the mail today. I knew I was going, but now I have it on

  15. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

    wrobelchic replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Golden Scroll, where are you from? I'm from NY. Right now, I work in a County owned LTC facility and we're union so all LPN's make the same amount. Starting I will make only approximately $17 which is...

  16. Is this nursing home typical - first night?

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

    Fire Fly, though staffing shortages are extremely common in LTC facilities, hospitals, etc, it sounds like you just picked a not so good LTC facility to work in. Some facilities do mandation. Meaning...

  17. How Many New Cna"s Are Older?

    wrobelchic replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am 30 years old. I LOVE my job as a CNA. I am starting nursing school for my LPN this fall, but let me tell you, I work with CNA's in ALL different age groups and I have to tell you, though some...

  18. Can they do anything to me?

    wrobelchic replied to christian51's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm just curious. I've been a CNA for almost 8 years now and I've ONLY worked in LTC. So, maybe I'm out of the loop as far as what goes on with CNA's in a hospital, BUT, I work the 3-11 shift at my...

  19. CNA as a career?

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

    I started as a CNA almost 8 years ago. Most CNA's who plan to go on I don't think, stay a CNA for as long. There are many different reasons for me staying a CNA for so long. First and foremost, I am a...

  20. Good idea?

    wrobelchic replied to jukeb0xnc0ke's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi. In response to your question regarding phlebotomy, that all depends on where you are and what you're looking to do in th long run. I'm in NY. I don't believe off hand there are any places that...

  21. Rumors about acceptance to NS

    wrobelchic replied to natrgrrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in NY and about a week after I took the NET, I called to find out if I passed or failed (thank God, I passed). I was told I'd receive a package with my application and 3 reference forms. I was...

  22. For the accepted students!

    wrobelchic replied to chiynadol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do not allow yourself to get discouraged!! Not all of us were honor roll students!! Though my language arts and english grades were always very high, I did just enough in the other classes to get by....

  23. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

    wrobelchic replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    nursing is not what i've always wanted to do. like another said, maybe i didn't quite understand their role. my mother was an lpn and went back to school for her rn when i was young. while i was in...

  24. Good nursing Lit?!?

    wrobelchic replied to Nurmom86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks to the one who posted the question. I have been a CNA for 7 years now and will be starting nursing school in September, but I can't wait that long to start learning, lol. I know, I know, once...
