  1. My First Day Of LVN School

    Ginny Weasley replied to Christine2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had my first day of class last week. The uniforms are going to be a drag though... especially for the theory part. I'm going to a Catholic nursing school, so I guess that's to be expected :

  2. Unitek College LVN program... good or Bad??

    Ginny Weasley replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Why would anyone WANT to waste over 30 grand on such a crappy school? I almost went there, and I'm glad I didn't! I've heard from a lot of nurses that the LVN's that graduate from the 11 month program...

  3. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    Ginny Weasley replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ginny Weasley replied to shalamar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied as well to the Boston Reed program. I take the entrance exam on April 15. I'm worried because they sent me the study guide and what they refer to as "basic" math is a lot of pre-algebra! I...

  5. Can ADN hang IV meds? Or only BSN?

    Ginny Weasley replied to soon2be's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm only a CNA and I'm allowed to hang I.V. bags. But then again, I guess it really depends on the state and the hospital your

  10. Is LPN school really that hard?!

    Ginny Weasley replied to clarissairene's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not all LPN programs require pre-requisit courses. In fact, most of the ones I've seen don't require any, but are very expensive. I guess you can either go the pre-req route and take the LPN course at...

    Ginny Weasley replied to clarissairene's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  12. RN program in community college really worth it?

    Ginny Weasley replied to rnhopefully09's topic in Nursing Career

  13. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    Ginny Weasley replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to have the white uniforms again! I think they are so much more professional looking, and people can tell right away that the person is a nurse by the uniform. It would be nice if CNA's still...

  14. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    Ginny Weasley replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    It kinda bugs me...But not that much. I mean, for what purpose does a recptionist at a nursing home need to wear scrubs for? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but I'm not going to go and...

  17. Doctor becoming Nurse?

    Ginny Weasley replied to tenrec's topic in Nursing Career

    You spent all that time going to medical school and you want to be a nurse instead? That seems like such a waste to me, but that's only my opinion. It kind of reminds me a of guy I know who was a...

  18. CNA jobs: Hard to find?

    Ginny Weasley replied to emo1807's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yes, it is hard to find jobs if your a CNA with no experiance. At least that's how its been with me. I got my licesne in April of 2006, and I still can't find a full time job. It really sucks because...

  21. Short course vs. Longer

    Ginny Weasley replied to chesara's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think the longer course would be better. It gives you more time to practice your clinical skills. It's really hard to start out at a job and not have that much clinical experiance under your

    Ginny Weasley replied to snoflake929's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mine was horrible. The nurse, who hires people, he made me cry on the second day I was there because he said I acted like I was afraid of him. I'm sure you won't find yourself in that situation...
