1. Legit vaccination/health screening clinics

   fifi rockefeller replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Ohio

   DO NOT give your SSN or a resume w/your name, address, phone on CraigsList. If you want to do shot clinics, list with an agency. They do clinics for city health and schools. The CraigsList stuff is, for the most part, NOT entirely legit if they wan...

2. Calling all Northern KY nurses and students!

   fifi rockefeller replied to Lindsay S's topic in Kentucky

   I graduated from Beckfield in 2008. An individual I work with graduated from Beckfield in 2009, and is in the military reserve. Neither of us can work at the VA, b/c Beckfield was not, at the time, NLN accredited. I am an ex-Federal employee (twic...

3. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

   fifi rockefeller replied to Lala27poodles's topic in CNA/MA

   1. If you can get a CNA job in this recession, depression, correction, whatever you want to call it, get one. 2. When I worked as a nurse aide at the VA in Cincinnati, I COMPLETELY LOVED AND ADORED IT. And yes, I cleaned up poop, puke, irrigated b...

4. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

   fifi rockefeller replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   My non-NLN accredited nursing college had a pinning ceremony and a graduation. We were at the same college as other professional programs, and our pinning ceremony was really our graduation. Graduation was six months after we left, with the Parale...

   SweetNSassy recommended Surplus Work Clothes; I's never heard of them. I looked up the driving directions on the internet, & drove over to Norwood. (From the West Side. And you know how we get!) . THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OUTSTANDING! Besides...

6. Anyone can get into Nursing.

   fifi rockefeller replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

   If this man is telling you that you're dumb, he needs to go to the curb. Now. Whether you are in nursing school or not. Why does he want a dumb girlfriend? Any reason you can think of is not in your best interests. What I see at the hospital is som...

7. Help!!!

   fifi rockefeller replied to nickykitty's topic in Ohio

   Perhaps Kindel International; they do surveys and such. There is an office headquartered in Carew Tower in Cincinnati, Ohio (they have a website). Try agency nursing. Try private home nursing. . I'm sorry you're having a horrible experience. I'...

8. Looking for a good 2-year RN program

   fifi rockefeller replied to motivated1's topic in Ohio

   I "heard" and cannot substantiate that Kaplan refused to honor the agreement a Gateway student had. Gateway's pass rate is so bad they are on some kind of list. Kaplan would not refund the young lady's money when she failed NCLEX because she went t...

9. ATT and NCLEX ?? and job offer struggle...help!

   fifi rockefeller replied to danda22's topic in Ohio

   Amanda - here's a thing my old boss taught me better than 15 years ago. . "Just because you're invited doesn't me you have to go." . Other jobs can and will come your way. This particular nursing home is not the only show in town, are they? I "get...

10. ATT and NCLEX ?? and job offer struggle...help!

    fifi rockefeller replied to danda22's topic in Ohio

    I had my fingerprints taken electronically for $88.00. SIXTY days later, they had not yet been processed, "because they were so behind with the huge volume of work." Yeah, yeah, yeah, I had them taken electronically because it was supposed to be fa...

    fifi rockefeller replied to motivated1's topic in Ohio

    The name of the new college is Bohecker (spelling?) I keep hearing referrals, but nobody has actually "gone there."

12. Looking for a good 2-year RN program

    fifi rockefeller replied to motivated1's topic in Ohio

    To MsICanDoIt: From what I know, the situation with the students at the VA Hospital in Clifton was that the Federal Government would not hire nurses from non-NLN accredited schools. Translated, that means a Beckfield student could work at the VA, bu...

13. Looking for a good 2-year RN program

    fifi rockefeller replied to motivated1's topic in Ohio

    Eeeek! I just graduated from Beckfield's RN program, and I would not recommend it to anybody! For the record, I have not yet taken NCLEX. . When I started Beckfield, it was a small school. The first quarter class that just started has 80 students ...
