I'm not sure if I can be of too much help but I'll try....because of the high demand for nurses today CNA's come in BIG handy! So, many facilities are competing with others for as much help as they can get from as many CNA's as possible paying their CNA's as good as $14/hr (that's the highest I've found), I'm not a CNA, I'm a nursing student right now...but when I was looking that's what it was....I hope this helps a little!:)

So public health deals with low income or work in the clinical settings and community health nursing assists groups within a community? Am I right?

I'm a nursing student (this is my first sesmester) and I'm stumped! My book tells me that public health nursing and community nursing are interchangable; however, my professors tell us that they are two different areas of nursing! Can someone please help me understand what the relationship between the two are and what the differences are between public health nursing and community health nursing! I'm so confused!

I'm a nursing student this semester and I've come across a confusing topic! Can someone please help me understand the relationship between public health nursing and community health nursing? My book explains that they are interchangable but my professors tell me that they are different! I'm so confussed what's the difference if they are two separate types of nursing not one!

You know you are all right, I really just need to relax and enjoy my summer! I just need to make sure I stay on top on things! Thank you everyone who responded with advice!

I'll be going into the nursing program this fall and I'm curious: what are the benefits of getting your BSN? What areas are open to you if you get your BSN? Does your salary change? Is it easier to find a job with your BSN opposed to your ADN?

Do you know if I'll be using a mass majority of my pre-nursing class information? Because once again I've heard so many different answers...some say that I can pretty much forget everything but anatomy....and others say that I need to remember everything from all of my pre-nursing classes (which would be alot of info to go over in one summer!). I just want to make sure that I remember and know the most important details instead of worrying about the smaller details that won't be mentioned!

I've just been accepted to the nursing program for this fall! I'm excited in one hand but completely nervous in the other hand! I've heard so many scary stories about the first semester! I've heard that there will be endless hours of homework(not complaining, I understand that you have to work hard at what you want in life), that the first semester weeds out students(nursing is not for everyone), and that exams are dreadful compaired to pre-nursing exams! I've been trying to keep my memory fresh when it come to anatomy and medical terminology, however; I'm affraid that I'll be a dunce and completely feel lost! Did anyone feel this way? Does anyone have any advise on how I can better perpare myself for my first semester? Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
