    1lollipop replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the advice, Iseeyourn! I have 2 questions: 1) What did you mean by "SCD"?? 2) Also, do CNA's and PCA's have to do range of motion exercises with the patients? I'm assuming yes. I know I...

  7. CNA or medical assistant, or other?

    1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, you need to get trained and later earn the certificate for the CNA. Some nursing homes are willing to train applicants at no charge, but you must get hired first. I believe in NYS, all nurse...

    1lollipop replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    No one can force you to work as a CNA even once you're certified. However, to maintain your CNA licensure (once you pass the test for it), you need to work within 2 years (or else the license...

  10. Need advice please - LPN first, then RN?

    1lollipop replied to HopefulLInurse's topic in New York Nursing

    From what I hear, LPNs are having a very tough time finding jobs now (even tougher time than the RNs). Nursing homes hire very few LPNS, and hospitals generally don't hire any. However, graduating...

  15. What to do ? I'm so screwed up

    1lollipop replied to theneedthewant's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry for your loss. Here's my $ .02: I don't think that getting into more debt would be a good idea at this point. It's better to drop out (temporarily, don't have to give up) & find a...

    1lollipop replied to hawks126's topic in New York Nursing
