I receive my temp license yesterday from Oklahoma BON. I would just like to say the BON was very professional and as soon as I had on the proper paperwork submitted, I received my temp license on the spot (I actually went in person to the BON). i mus...

The rest of my response is in a post above this one, but of course they know I hold them accountable in everything they do. I said I was positive but I also said in my other post on geriatric forum That I am firm in what i expect from them

I don't have neither I have my associate degree. I actually believe if I had applied I wouldn't have got the position. It was a blessing that I worked there part-time already. We are a 60 bed facility so my duties include supervising the staff, month...

CNAs are the back bone of LTC. Even in the hospital I worked in critical care and we did not have aides so I did total care. Believe me when I tell you I don't care about the initials behind my name or anybody else's name all I care about is the resi...

Thank you!!!!!! It was a challenge but I am glad I stayed. I am the type of person that has respect for everyone and I see myself as my staff's equal. I do not rule with iron fist , I am firm in what I expect from them but at the same time I do it w...

I received my permanent license today, so it took 4 days from the time I submitted all the proper paperwork to receive my permanent license. I would say thats prompt. LOL. I am very pleased

YAY!!!!!! DallasMonty, good luck in nursing school, I am sure you will be coming to back to DRMC and the 5th floor ICURN now known as MzKgoRN.

When you enter the Nursing program, you must purchase your nursing textbooks for the entire 2 years of the program upfront. When taking your prereqs and co-reqs you purchase the textbooks separately for the class you are in at that time.

No they do not require PDAs Hope this helps

if i am not mistaken, the bookstore at gcc starts selling books a week before fall classes begin

Denton Regional starts New grads at 22.85 and it is 4.00 night diff and 4.30 weekend diff. These stack (so if you work weekend nights you make 8.30 in shift diff) For 3 yrs experience it is 25.09 so 4.5 yrs will be somewhere in the range of 25.09 or ...

Your welcome. Hope everything works out for you because nursing is a very rewarding career. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me.

I currently work at Denton Regional in Denton and they are hiring, check out their website. Their critical care unit is awesome, but then I am a bit biased since I am employed there. Good luck in your search.

denton regional in denton hires LVNs

I graduated in May of 08 and I work on a cardiac critical care unit, I personally believe it depends on the person and if you up for the challenge and a challenge it will be. I believe if the residency is awesome and you have good perceptors than you...

First congrats on furthering your education Second a CNA is not a stepdown from a PCT, they are the same thing, I worked a CNA in a nursing home, and with that same certificate worked as a PCT in a hospital, and the duties are the same. Were I work n...
