Having been a varsity educator and now a student I am looking at your posting from both perspectives. I think you may be taking his comments too personally. He is speaking from experience, and has voluntarily offered you this information. I suspec...

for what it is worth .... i will be over 60 when i graduate as a rn! it will be a life long dream come true thanks to a former client that provided the funds for me to end my cna career and start my rn career. god is good. my only concern is pulli...

If anyone has already done the research please can you share it with me. I have no college experience, so I will be starting from scratch. ....Many thanks for your time. PS I have tried to "Google" but to no avail!

I would be interested to know what the salary/pay is over there for a RN and for an LVN. Thank you.

As a CNA I would suggest you work for a hospital. I have been a CNA for a few years and about to start nursing school myself at the age of 56! All the while I have been working as a home-care CNA specializing in seniors. From what I have read and ...

Variety is the spice of life! I too am one that has to conquer the challenges of a new job or position and then....move on to the next, or I become board and start to dislike the job very soon; I have to have new challenges and learn new skills all t...

I am a CNA about to go to LVN school. Has anyone done the same thing? I know there is a world of difference between the CNA & LVN programs. I would appreciate any comments about the level of difficulty. I am scared!

if senior nurses are expected to teach and don't want to for whatever reason, they should take it up with their supervisors, and not resent the new nurse, who after all never asked to be assigned in the first place, it is jut a requirement. usually a...

I think the government should give students in the medical field a break! There should be a discounted gasoline cost based on the distance to/from school and/or clinical locations. After furnishing verification of your home and school address (or oth...

I am so very excited for you. All the best going forward.

TO CametoitlateTexan In what capacity can you work at the hospital and does it have to be full time? I can not see going to school full time and working full time. Currently I am a CNA here in TX. Thanks

TO: CametoitlateTexan Your email was very good. How did you manage to get RN for 1/3 of the cost? I am in Dallas, but may end up going to Tyler to get my RN. I am doing the prerequisites for same at the moment. Do they have an excellerated/fa...

working for god on earth does not pay much, but his retirement plan is out of this world.

I think that is terrible. God will reward you, that you can count on.

I'm a CNA, at the bottom of the nursing profession's "totem pole"! My last assignment was as a 24/7 live-in caregiver. My client died of natural causes 12/31/2007. Three months into the assignment my client and I got into a discussion regarding my ca...

TO: bjames_ging In some cities the American Red Cross has CNA classes. I am not sure if they are free, but even if there is a charge I am sure it will be very reasonable. Some Home Care Agencies will reimburse tuition. Also check D.A.D.S., for a stat...

Having read these posts and being a pre-student nurse myself it makes me wonder if these seasoned nurses are the ones that need an attitude adjustment. Have they forgotten they were once new to a specialty too, just went about it differently. Well ...

I have a couple of suggestions for all the "stop smoking" wannabees. This is what I am going to do: 1. Make a necklace comprised of small notes threaded on a string, neck chain, whatever. Use thick paper or thin card stock. On each note write a r...

Interested in knowing what the pay scale is in any and all areas of LVN employment in the DALLAS, TX area, esp. North Dallas. (New graduate). This will help me to know what sort of jobs/positions to apply for, or not to apply for! I appreciate your ...

TO: RaElRa: Thanks for your input. I have been a CNA only in home care settings, but yes I see the experiences as an asset to my impending career in nursing. I have not even begun inquiring at TJC. How long were you on the waiting list and how lon...

This is just what I needed for that extra shove. I too am planning on going to school very soon, and if for no other reason, I feel like a hypocrite advocating and promoting good health as a nurse, and then puffing away behind the scenes. I have on...
