  1. Interruptions During Med Pass

    Butterfliesnroses replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What are the aides doing? Where I work the nurses do have to answer phones (especially at night and evenings) along with all other staff...But the aides get the soda, answer call lights,

  2. Is this reasonable or am I being a newbie?

    Butterfliesnroses replied to dander625's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Where I work each nurse has up to 25 residents depending on the census...The amount of nurses does not go up...There are always 2 nurses on the floor on days and evenings. One LPN and one RN...They do...

  3. How long did it take to finish pre-req full time??

    Butterfliesnroses replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went part time at first (no financial aide, I was considered my parents dependent...while my parents make it, they couldn't make it enough to fork out 1,000 plus every 3 months), so I went 3 years...

  4. No more LPNs?

    Butterfliesnroses replied to puppylover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't see them phasing LPN's out at the LTC facility I work EVER!!! RNs and LPNs do the exact same thing where I work. The only difference is RNs get paid more. Each nurse is the charge nurse on her...

  5. Can I hear some positive things about nursing school?

    Butterfliesnroses replied to rntoben2008's topic in General Students

  6. Working full-time, doing pre reqs and having a 2 year old?!

    Butterfliesnroses replied to LAURAASHLEY2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know this wasn't directed at me...BUT if I waited until my daughter was in school I'd have to wait 4-6 years...I work as a CNA which we all know that doesn't pay nearly enough...PLUS I'm the main...

  7. Course Repeat-Club

    Butterfliesnroses replied to Hirbow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before when taking my pre-reqs work took the front burning leaving school to take the back burned. I retook chemistry, and I need to retake biology...I also took a math class that was too hard for...

  8. update

    Butterfliesnroses replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My boss, the DNS, didn't want to take out loans when she was in the program. SO she worked (as an aide) Friday night shift, Saturday evening and night shift, and then Sunday evening shift...She said...

  9. I think we need a second degree student section...

    Butterfliesnroses replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a second degree student...BUT I have some of the issues you second degree students do! I have a child...I'm the main breadwinner of the family so I HAVE to work full time or take out student...

  10. update

    Butterfliesnroses replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. RN Pre-Reqs what kind of Math is required

    Butterfliesnroses replied to FutureNS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Before taking college classes at my CC you test. If you test into above Math 105A then you are fine...otherwise you have to take as many math classes to get into that level...for me that means taking...

  12. update

    Butterfliesnroses replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OMG!!! I swear you've kinda described my story....I graduated from high school in 2003...Didn't have much money...my parents made enough to pay their bills but not foot my college bill...SO I took one...

    Butterfliesnroses replied to teampierce's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The college I'm hoping to go to for NS used to do the whole waiting list thing...They then switched to now you have to apply every year and hope for the best....Kind of makes me nervous...Nice thing...

  14. Are labs required for your pre-reqs??

    Butterfliesnroses replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The CC I go to is a branch from a bigger campus...when I signed up for classes the campus I'm going to attend (the smaller one) I just signed up for one class (that includes the lab)...BUT when I was...

  15. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    Butterfliesnroses replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 23 years old....So I have the 18 year olds, just out of high school...Which 18-23 doesn't seem like much of a difference...BUT it really is maturity wise...at least for some people...and then...

    Butterfliesnroses replied to LAURAASHLEY2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Why do you want to become a nurse?

    Butterfliesnroses replied to PoetryInMotion's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was a senior in high school it just hit me that nursing was for me...I couldn't see myself doing anything else. I took some college classes and took my CNA class, eventually getting a job as a...

    Butterfliesnroses replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Butterfliesnroses replied to ErikaMarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AWESOME!!!....Where I work after you pass each quarter they reimburse you for tuition and fees....I'll get a free ride (single mom status)...So that money will help me live...this nursing program here...

  21. No more LPNs?

    Butterfliesnroses replied to puppylover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess my question is...if they move the LPN down to CNA/tech status, would the LPN get paid the same amount as before (for passing meds, dressing changes, ect) to do CNA/tech work? Because call me...
