Live life to the fullest no one gets out alive anyways.....

I just took my certification exam in fl. The written test is nothing like that practice test. Most of the questions were whats the best answer and I was sitting there like uummmm all of them. I took a course in tarpon springs that was a week long. My school also offers it for 2 weekends also. I have some advice though. Send in for your test date asap. Hope this helps

I just took my exam on friday and passed. I am from florida but dont psych yourself out. Right before I felt like i was going to throw up. Once I got in there I felt soooo dumb. My skills were handwashing and indirect skilss (always a given) then I had mouth care with teeth, weight, and upper range of motion. Hope this helped dont freak.

Congrats!!!! :)

First born (only by a minute tho) but with a father addicted to drugs

In Palm Harbor Florida (almost tampa) This is straight out of CNA NOOO experience. My job at LTC 7-3 shift 9.50 3-11 shift 10.50 11-7 Shift 11.50

Yay I passed my exam. It was sooo freaking hard. I had mouth care and my hands were shaking the wholeeee time.

I just got a job at a LTC. The shifts they offer are 7-3, 3-11 and 11-7. Each shift earns more money. for example the 3-11 makes .50 cents more and the 11-7 makes a dollar more.

(This is my friend) HEYY EVERYYYONEEE! I passed my CNA state tessstttt Just wanted to share because im sooooo excited!!!

Are there any tips on how to take blood pressure I am freaking out. I know how to do everything else. But I kno that if I get blood pressure I will fail. Any tips will be veryyyyy appreciated

John mayer would get the best care ever....

192. You use ur sidekick to catch up on the latest post. It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing your sidekick in in ur hand on allnurses.com and the sad part is that if your friends pick up your phone they know that it will auomatically be on allnurses

Wow for some reason here in florida our CNA classes are only for 1 week. Maybe its because the abundance of older people that we have. It seems like medtechs are welcomed here. Good luck to you as well.

"preemiernkate--i also love that story about the mom wanting to be a nicu nurse...i have seen a few moms and even siblings that have had the same effect!" i totally agree with you two. my sister and i were both born about 4 weeks early. i was 5 lbs and my sister about 4. that was were she was diagnosed with tetralogy of fallot. but anyways sorry bout the rant. for some odd reason i have always wanted to be a nicu nurse. what 8th grader stands up during class and says that they want to be a nicu nurse and have the teacher look at you funny. i feel as tho i have a connection becuase of my sister. sorry about hijacking the thread. i respect every single one of you nicu nurse. i am jealous and envious in a good way. thank you for what you do all of you are heros to me. :nuke:

I had to take a different class. It cost an extra 65 dollars. It was suppose to last 4 hours but was completed in about 30 minutes. What the instrutor goes over is common sense. Hope it goes well.

Hi I am currently in a CNA program it is $250. They also have job placement that will remburst you for the cost of the class. The name is CNA med prep in tarpon springs florida off of Klosterman rd. The money pays for your books and a set of scrubs. Hope this helps :nuke:

Yeah I can probally get away with doing it on mental illness. Thanks for all the help! :)

For my psychology paper I decided to pick a topic with premature babies. I am having a difficult time finding research. Topic: Do premature babies develope psychological disorders as adults? I am stumped and need help. Paper is due in 2 weeks

My twin sister has TOF she has had 2 pulmonary valve replacements. She has done well and had a normal life.

I want to work at ACH'S NICU SOOOOOO bad. I am a pre nursing student and my school does clinicals there. I want to get in sooo bad. My twins sis has had 2 pulmonary valve replacemetns there. So I basiaclly know everyone in cardio. Dr. Martinez, Dr, Henry, Dy Jacobs and Dr. Giroud. They have known me since I was 8 moths old. How can you get into the program at ACH? Can I get recomendations? Would that even help?

Thanks You all help alot!

I am currently a full time nursing student and also a full time manger at pizza hut. I am 18 years old. Ok here goes the back story bare with me. There is this guy I work with he is 21 and he thinks he has soooo much experience over me. Well he used to like me. If he has soooo much more life experience tell me why he stoped like me cause I have ugly legs, Yeah ugly legs (I actually think they are nice) well anyways He keeps telling me that I am setteling by being a nurse. I have wanted to be a nurse all my life and NICU nurse since 8th grade. He keeps telling me that I am not going to be able to handle the NICU. I understand that its going to be hard seeing babies die but I will also be able to see babies with a no chance of survival leave helthy and have a great life. I am there for that baby he or she relies on me day in and out. PLEASE HELP.. WHAT DO I TELL THIS ARROGANT JERK.... AHHH ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY:angryfire. LOL

i am a student at spc and i cant wait to be a nurse. it is only my first semester and in the fall i will be taking a&p 1. i cant wait to be a nurse. its all i can really think about. i cant wait to finally be in the nicu. alot of people are doubting me and it is starting to make me mad. i have wanted to be this since like 4th grade. i know about the nicu cause when mu sister was born they didnt know what what wrong with her she was a blue baby. she ended up having trettrology of fellow which meant she had to have a pulmonary valve relplacement. is is normal for me to be this into it, its kinda a weird obsession in good way, i just want to help these helpless babies who have no one really.
