  1. Riding a Motorcycle to Interview. Good Idea?

    Absolutely13 replied to Speed Freak's topic in General Nursing

    Hey man, no prejudice here with bikes, but at 170 mph you could take a lot of innocent people out with you if something went wrong. Just

  2. All About the NET

    Absolutely13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great score! At my school, the reading comprehension was the only one that had a minimum score. I'm sure the look at the grammar, but not with the same weight as what you excelled in. I would feel...

  3. All About the NET

    Absolutely13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm looking at my NET results right now and it says the national composite average percentage is 64%, but I think I may know why our numbers are different. The 3 versions of the NET are: Form A -...

  5. All About the NET

    Absolutely13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only speak from my experience, but the science reading, math and grammar portions were used and graded to get into my program. The rest of the test was diagnostic. Hope that

  6. How can I get an entry level CNA job in Denver

    Absolutely13 replied to kanjura's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is you are looking for part time employment without experience. Many facilities re-train CNA's to satisfy their own requirements and require full time associates to justify this

  7. All About the NET

    Absolutely13 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope I didn't miss anything in previous posts, but there are different versions of the NET and they are not equal for comparing scores. An 87 one one version might be equivalent to a 68 on another....

  8. Question!!!

    Absolutely13 replied to exsnohs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't panic and hear me out. There are a few parts to a problem like this. First, your ADN program must know about this. Just go ahead and make an appointment with a program adviser now and face the...

  9. Year Off And Cna Certification Necessary?

    Absolutely13 replied to gkbroaro's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1. CNA experience can be very helpful. I did that myself and was glad I did. I am now accepted into nursing program (it was a points system) and got points for the CNA certification and experience. 2....

  10. Just Opened Acceptance Letter! I'm In!

    Over 200 applications for 60 student nurse openings. Somehow, I'm starting in January 2009. I'm thrilled! What should I expect in the first semester of an ASN

  11. Going to RN program at age 40--crazy?

    Absolutely13 replied to Teapot12345's topic in General Nursing

    Well if it is, maybe we could share a room at the asylum? I'm 42 and having a blast. Do it if it is in your

  12. CNA issues.....

    Absolutely13 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    OK, that was a little strong, but you get the idea. I should have taken 5 minutes to digest what I was responding

  13. CNA issues.....

    Absolutely13 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think HIPAA enforcers may have a problem with that in reality. Your RN is your supervisor and will fill in CNA's with what they need to know. There is information on that chart that a CNA has little...

  14. CNA issues.....

    Absolutely13 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNA and wouldn't DARE behave like this. I agree with the others; take appropriate action using the chain of command. Good

  18. Any tricks to taking the respirations

    Absolutely13 replied to daisy007's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That is the correct method. In Florida you will fail your skills test if you do the 15 X 4 or 30 X2 method for pulse or respirations. An irregular heart beat may not show up in 15 or 30 seconds and...

  19. How do they get people with contractures in a casket?

    Absolutely13 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing
