  1. Male pericare

    Absolutely13 replied to aerorunner80's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is an old thread, but an important one both genders need to talk about. Erections are involuntary, much like women can't "decide" to have erect nipples. When the conditions are right, it's going...

  2. Free Cna Training

    Absolutely13 replied to pgramann's topic in Florida Nursing

    You went to a non accredited school and now require free CNA training? I can't help what God gave you, but I will call you on it. I live in Florida, like yourself, and will tell you LTC's will pay...

  3. If CNA license expired can I still work as an HHA?

    Absolutely13 replied to BettyBoop941's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Please check it out, but a lapsed CNA certification in Florida is doom. Click "Renewal Information" at this site: http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/cna/info_renewal-07.pdf If the lapse is less than 2...

  4. If CNA license expired can I still work as an HHA?

    Absolutely13 replied to BettyBoop941's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can work in Florida as a HHA without ever being a CNA. Unfortunately, to become a CNA again, you'll have to become certified starting all over if the cert lapsed. Good luck! More info: If you are...

  5. Any older people in pre-nursing?

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

    I'm just wrapping up my prereqs at almost 42 and this is the best thing I have ever done for myself. 3.91 GPA and more confident than ever. I say 40 is the new 18 without the zits. I still drive too...

  6. Our new granddaughter

    Absolutely13 replied to Wise Woman RN's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing to make a heart feel warmer than an addition to the family. Show her how a gumball machine works and tell her why it means so much to give grandma a kiss back. And above all, enjoy...

  7. Anyone can get into Nursing.

    Absolutely13 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Bullceph!

  8. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Very interesting.

  9. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Great stuff

  10. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's not a negative thing. This is just a discussion about an important subject. I see both sides being irrational just a little bit, do

  11. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm assuming a couple of things at this

  12. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That is the type of constructive reply I was looking for. Ways to find a possible solution instead of griping and drawing lines in the sand. Great

  13. Online CNA Training in Florida

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

    I would really discourage people from taking an online CNA class. The written part of the exam is not rocket science, but only 50% pass the skills test on the first try. The practice with other...

  14. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Look, The United States has 100X more Nurses than any other country. Your argument has already lost. All of my teachers are masters level. So my 3 year degree is worth half of your 4 year degree? You...

  15. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The absolute and utter ignorance of the United States nurses is proof in itself! We have the elite nurses who speak of themselves as BSN's who have taken uncounted premed classes and have ghostly...

  16. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    i agree on the money issue. more education should mean more salary. the nclex is the equalizing issue here, that's why i meantioned it. i posted a similar comment and it appears to be lost. if it pops...

  17. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Absolutely13 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Respectfully Lindarn, an ASN is not a two year degree. However, I do agree with you in principle. The reality is we don't have the academic infrastructure to graduate all nurses at a BSN minimum. I...

  18. I really need an answer

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

    I can only speak for Florida, so you'll still need to check other states. In the application to take the exam, there is a question "Have you ever had a CNA license, or any other professional license,...

  19. does it make a real difference adn/bsn?

    Absolutely13 replied to butterflies135's topic in General Nursing

    I can't argue with that. Again, well

  20. does it make a real difference adn/bsn?

    Absolutely13 replied to butterflies135's topic in General Nursing

    All this for a couple more public health classes? If you were sick, would you rather have an ASN with 15 years of experience or a BSN with six months under her/his belt? BSN's are great, but has...

  21. How did it come to this?

    Absolutely13 replied to Southernurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is a heartbreaking situation. I hope you find a way through

  22. How did it come to this?

    Absolutely13 replied to Southernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oddly enough, I chose nursing as a second career because of burnout in another field. I had done everything (10000X over) and I hated to wake up, knowing it was back to the grind. Going back to school...

  23. counting the cost before committing

    Absolutely13 replied to flybaby1's topic in General Nursing

    [ She asked for input from those "in the know". I know both sides of the equation and was responding to your assertion that nursing is inherently more physically demanding than some other professions....

  24. counting the cost before committing

    Absolutely13 replied to flybaby1's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry Quickbeam, I meant no personal disrespect. I have seen both sides of the coin and that is how I formed my personal opinion. If you want to put nursing on par with being a bricklayer in the...

  25. counting the cost before committing

    Absolutely13 replied to flybaby1's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully argue that bedside nursing is NOT "very physical work." Coming from a construction background, I would put nursing in the top 5 of jobs that require walking, standing and moving...
