   la mama 310 replied to ilovemychihuahua's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It helps alot! I am a little scared at the possibility of starting IV's but I think I will be able to handle it. I used to get queezy looking at someone with a g tube. Now I can bathe someone with a Gtube, and give bed baths, feed and do denture car...

   Well for some of us I think it helps alot. The nursing home training can be kind of shocking. Especially if you don't have experience caring for other people's basic needs. (like children or elderly parents) Nursing school goes fast from what I hear...

9. 5 year Accountant wants to become a nurse?

   la mama 310 replied to apexsw20trd's topic in General Nursing

   I'm applying for RN school soon and now finishing up my CNA clinicals. I heard some folks who are going to be LVNS dissing CNA's saying it's not good work. Becoming an LVN, RN is not about passing out pills and starting IV's only.

10. 5 year Accountant wants to become a nurse?

    la mama 310 replied to apexsw20trd's topic in General Nursing
