Just lookinf for feedback from persons who have just passed the Florida CNA exam

I had to add another reply after reading a few more posts. You are allowing these schools to control you. May I ask you how many nurisng textbooks have you read? Retaking a class that you already took and spending 3 months of your time to do it is LAME. If you are really wanting to be a nurse, start to study on your own, take and EMT class, go to Paramedic school. Find a fair priced LVN school somewhere and start to learn medicine. The doors will open as you will start to meet people who can point you in the right direction. California is importing nurses!!!!!!!! Google this..........Goal2Diversity. It states the agenda for California nursing. Like I said find a state that you can start to study nursing, and not have to take history over agian to become a nurse. These people in these schools are wasting your time, most of them could not handle a simple ACLS algorithm or treat a major truama pt. Sorry if I have been to blunt but I would look elswhere and you will make it. Go Get it.

There are options for you if you seek them out. First off instead of waiting to be accepted to a school why not jump into a LVN\LPN program and get going with being a nurse, and not worry about learning stuff that is not nursing. Alot of changes are comming to health care. A good friend told me the wages in nursing are already starting to come down and some nursing schools are laying off instructors. Look to other states. I know someone who went to wyoming and the Tribal Nation paid for His RN he only had to give them 8 months after he got his license to repay them for a great favor. (free RN). Alaska, Florida, Orange county California, Texas all have LVN programs open, then you can be making money and working and learning nursing instead of how to pass the TEAS test. Mexicali Mexico has a nursing program and they are grudating and sending nurses to work in California while students in Califronia are looking to get in School. Get creative and get creative now, things are going to change quickly alot of hospitals are broke and are going to start to fill job openings with Patient Care Techs, and EMT(s) in order to stay afloat. Good luck hope to see you on the floor soon.

For me getting into LVN school has taken up alot of my time and energy. It is not an easy process. I am a State Of California Paramedic. Paramedic skills are above LVN skills so I already have a good command of patient care and anatomy and physiology, meds and dosages ECG ACLS and the like. My son was born five years ago this month and the first few years they take up alot of your time, its not like you can take your eyes off of them. If it were me I would become an LVN first then consider family. Yes....... I know it is hard to wait, but in the long run you will understand. EXCEPTION.....if you are wealthy and can afford a full time nanny and your spouse is stable and can contribute his time to the child then it might be possible? Let me know what you think.
