Thanks for the advice wow clinicals run from 6am to 6pm thts crazy. I just went to the hospital today I am voluntering my services basicaly working as a cna for free. I figure this will help me land a job in the future. Im just tryin 2 get as much experience as possible for my resume, that way when I get my lpn although I hear rumors that they are fazing them out of hospitals I could possibly land a job at a hospital or a high paying job at a nursing home.

Hello, everyone ill start with a little Background info on myself. I am 18 years old, with a 1 year old son, I currently have my cna license, and I am job hunting right now. I am also attending my local c.c. Doing my pre-reqs to transfer to first another c.c. To get my lpn, then to a 4 year university to get my bsn. What I need advice on is I am trying to make the most of my time while I am at my local c.c. So I will have plenty of options when im ready 2 transfer. My thinking is that I will hopefully land a cna position, and I will volunteer to work at a local advocate hospital so I will have the best possible resume when I go for my lpn, and my bsn, and begin 2 apply for a rn position. My ? Is will this help me in the get accepted into ns with the experience that I will have on paper. And also has anyone else went this route by volunteering and what was the result Also on a future note wat is ns really like as far as school scheduling do you go to school from like 9-3 or can you pick your own hours, and how are clinicals broken down on the weekends b\c when I go away 2 school, my son will have 2 come with me and I will have little support, any info on how single parents in ns managed will be greatly appreciated also.....thanx in advance....

Hello to all, i am a aspiring nursing student. I was wondering in everyones experience is the LPN training program so rigorous that you cannot take extra classes outside of the LPN program and still have time to work. I am taking my first 2 years of pre-reqs at my local community college, so that i can transfer them to a major university. But I would also like to take the LPN course offered, so i could have a better job while i am in nursing school. I am currently awaiting my CNA boards test in september. But I also have a child and he is growing everyday, so i have responsibilities.( I need money) and CNA job wont pay what i feel he and I will need. Im 18 and need solid advice:banghead:

Hello everyone i was curious because i am starting my pre-reqs at my local community college this fall so I can transfer them to a university nursing program. I am the type of student where i aim high so I am going to work as hard as possible to get a good GPA but i was wondering what is the typical GPA for acceptance into nursing school.

As an LPN you take the NCLEX but do you have to take it again when you get ur ADN of BSN, and since you are an lpn are you considered a "nurse" or are you just another notch up the ladder of being a CNA

That seems like a very long day, that would require alot of time management but would there be any classes or certifications that you would have to attain in order to become a dialysis tech

I'm currently in my CNA class, and as I always seem to do I look ahead to try new things I know that in order to become a dialysis technician you need to have your CNA license but what I was curious about was if anyone knew how much time it takes for you to become certified as a dialysis tech, and what does that job typically involve?

Out of curiousity, I havent started the Class yet, I start in may:D but i was just wondering out of curiousity what the test is like is it multiple choice, short answer,essay, or is it clinical, or what... I live in illinois by the way.

Any opinions on chicago states nursing program? What about the hospital closest to it?

Im taking the N.A. class this summer, I was curious as to when i get a job as a CNA, what type of hours, and paycheck can I expect to bring home. Also if i worked 3 12 hour shifts would that be considered full time by most standards. I will be a freshman in college, and am interested in becoming a CNA prior to going to nursing school, i figure it would give me tons of experirience:typing

Do CNA's work shifts similar to nurses where you can pull a 12 hour shift or, is it flexible mainly are 12 hour shifts common amongst CNA's

Hey Everyone out there, I am a senior in high school, this summer i plan to start my CNA classes in hopes to get a license at a local community college, After that i plan to go to chicago state and start my pre-reqs for admission into there nursing program in hopes to get a BSN. I was wondering 1) are a CNAs work schedule flexible, where i can manage work and school 2) will me being a CNA help me at all in my hopes me getting a BSN 3)Starting Pay For A CNA 4)how easy is it to transition from school to getting a job as a CNA 5) Is There anything I can do that will help me transition into a better paying CNA job The reason why it sounds like i am in such a hurry to work is because i have a 3month old son, and i need a better job,that can transition me into the career that i want to work in(nursing), and that can aid me into getting 1st selection into CSU's nursing program. Any help or info or advice would be HIGHLY appreciated.:typing
