I am pretty sure that ALL cna classes have their clinicals at nursing homes. Only makes sense since thats pretty mcuh where all cna's end up working after school. I am finishing it right now and have hated every minute of it lol hope your experience ...

So, my question is I would LOVE to work at a family clinic or physician's office. I really dont have a desire to work at a hospital, so would I be better off going for my lvn or rn? I am not sure exacly if rns or lvns mostly work where I am intereste...

Oh awesome! Thanks! I am new to this, so I really have no idea what I am doing on here :)

Hey there! Please correct me if I am wrong, but I was told that Maric college doesn't offer credit for your nursing courses....so if you plan to go back to get your bachelors degree, you wont be able to since those classes at Maric cant transfer and ...

Hi! Yeah, I was referring to northern california where the pay is good. Southern CA is where pay isn't so good. I live in southern CA (Temecula) its like 45 minutes north

You could research it online. When you look into CA salary, it says it is roughly $55,000. MA is $77,000 and it is cheaper to live there! I am originally from there so I know. It seems the only places to get good pay in CA is to move to like San Fran...

From what I have been researching, CA has really low pay rate! It seems the only places to get good pay like $37-$47, are like San Fran where the cost of living is ridiculously expensive. I could be wrong, this is just what I have been hearing from a...

Wow! That is crazy! I think through a normal semester it would be 160 hours eac h class, so I think I would rather go through your route to save time, but that will be an insane schedule!! Good luck! You will be fine Nikki

Hey there! Does anyone know the starting rate for recent grads in Temecula area? (southern ca)????? I have no idea!! I heard like $28, not sure how true that is. I do know that CA has the lowest pay rates for nurses, which is weird since CA is so exp...

Thanks for all the info girls!!

I thought that you had to be an RN for 2 years before you can start an actual NP program, have I been misinformed?

Hello! I live in Temecula, and was considering going to Maric at one point. However, as soon as I found out that you dont get credit for the courses, I quickly decided not to! If you wanted to go back to school in the future for a bachelors or master...

I am currently in a CNA class, although ours is a full standard semster of 4 months! If I could go back in time, I would not have taken this class. I thought the same thing, that it would help me get some experience, but it didn't! Our clinicals are ...

I second that! I had to take A&P 101 then A&P 102 then micro! Thats a total of 3 semester, and since each semester is roughly 4 months, thats a long time!! Crazy!

Hello there! I was just wondering how you find out if your state allows you to work as a GN? I live in southern california and this is the first of me hearing about this. Thanks for the help and reading this post!! Nikki

hello there!!! I live in Temecula, do you have any idea what the starting pay is in my area? I would appreciate any info. because I have no idea Thanks!!! p.s. I was thinking about working at San Diego Children's hospital because I think the pay wou...

Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone could tell me exacly what RN's do?? I am confused on that. Also, what field could you work in and what is the average pay in CA??? I am about to apply to RN school. I am worried though because I am afrai...

This is just a suggestion, but maybe you have some sort of anxiety or panic disorder that you just haven't been diagnosed with. I recently had 2 panic attacks out of no where!! My doc suggested I go on zanax, but I figured unless this is taking over ...

Hi Tia! I am actually planning on applying there in June to hopefully start in January. Could you possibly tell me any advice on getting accepted? I heard nursing school is really competitive! I got A's in all the prereqs and am transfering from MSJC...

I am so sorry you are going through this pretty much alone. Talking is the first step in this, it will really help. Heres my advice, get some confidence! You seem really smart and I think if you had some self-esteem, you would ace nursing school. You...

Lets see, in CA, a CNA mainly works in nursing homes, or "long-term care facilities," and a HHA works with patients in their homes. Thats the difference as far as what the job entails.

Hello there! I definetly dont think there is an age limit on anything in nursing. However, I want to warn you before you sign up for this that being a nursing assistant is really rough on your back! I am currently a student in the CNA program, and wh...
