Thanks i think i'm going to go with it because it works with my schooling so well! Looking forward to being an LPN in a year!!!

Things to look forward too is lots of hard work, but i promise if its your dream to be a CRNA then you can do it. I'm currently in nursing school and all i can say is stay positive and work hard! I never did an LPN program because i got right into a program at a university but i will be able to test for my LPN after next semester.

Well here is the scoop i currently work at an LTC and don't get me wrong i love what i do, but no matter how hard i work and no matter what i do our adminstration is horrible. We never have the supplies we need and they have a lot of horrible aids that do not follow the rules where it is border line abuse. I love where i work though because of the patients but the staffing is starting to interfere with my school. I have been looking for another LTC to work for but no one is hiring around my area. Recently last week a physical therapy team at a local hospital offered to give me a job being an aid for them. My problem is that i love being a CNA and I am currently in nursing school so i can't have my job interfere with my school. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to make a temporary switch to get me through this last push until i'm an LPN? Please anyone i need some advice from people who have been to nursing school all ready! Thanks!

I think prayer is a great thing to share with a family. I work in the middle of mormon country and am constantly asked to praticipate in blessing residents. I currently don't hold that authority in my church but generally most of our male staff are able to praticipate. It is so great i think for us to participate because it shows that familys that we are involved and we truly care about the residents.

I'm still in school, but i have been way interested in peds. There is something about working with kids that i love. I think a lot of it is my little niece has turners syndrome. she has been in and out of the hospital her whole life. She was sent one time to primary childrens medical center here in utah, and the nurses that worked there where so impressive, they really knew there stuff, and they where so caring to the sick children all around. It actually kind of inspired me to go into nursing.
