  1. Galen College

    daimere replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I'm thinking about moving to Louisville just to complete it. Are the books 900 per quarter like the website says? I'm trying to make a plan on how much I may need to try to convince my...

  2. Galen College

    daimere replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    How much is it to do the LPN day course at Galen? After graduating, did anyone refuse to hire you because of where you went to

  3. Seems to be quite the trend...

    daimere replied to AmandaS<3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What I love about being a CNA: -The residents that say the sweet things ("you're so pretty!") and the funny things ("why don't you got a man, you got tits and all?"). -The congrats from the families...

  4. CHUX.

    daimere replied to FraidoCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We use "pink pads" that are like quilted squares instead of chux. Unfortunately they are only for the residents were it is written for them because of skin break down or someone who has massive...

  5. Is a CNA's job a good reflection of what an RN does?

    daimere replied to natd9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it is. When my mom would tell me stories about having to clean up poop or being vomited on, I was like, "yep, not for me." Most people thinking of nursing as a glorious profession where you...

  6. Your pet peeve of the week

    daimere replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A coworker got someone in the chair still wearing their night shirt. When we tried to inform him of this, he said, "But it's clean!" It still is a NIGHT

  7. Your pet peeve of the week

    daimere replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's annoying that the residents aren't getting routine haircuts especially the ones that are bed bound. The other day one of the other NARS cut one gentleman's hair

  8. Can RNs really make this much?

    daimere replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    My mom makes 90,000 dollars a year. She works pool during the week and a weekend plan, so that's two jobs technically. I don't know how much that is hourly

  9. Excelsior

    daimere posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Has anyone been a nurse aide and done Excelsior for their RN? I've been contemplating my local schools but with time commitments/commutes, I'm not even sure if that will work. I was looking into...

    daimere replied to daimere's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks!

  11. LPN vs RN

    daimere posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Hi! I currently am working as a nurse aide in long term care facility run by the state. It has great benefits and so far, I really like my job. I want to further my education. I was deciding to do...

  12. LPN vs RN

    daimere replied to daimere's topic in LPN to RN

    From what I can tell, I'm not eligible for most loans because my parents credit is horrendous. I'm hoping maybe if I fill out the FAFSA sooner, there will me more of an opportunity for government...

  13. LPN vs RN

    daimere replied to daimere's topic in LPN to RN

    My community college has LPN at $10,000 which is still very

  14. Your pet peeve of the week

    daimere replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When they ask someone to stay over, then the nurses forget to even put you on the duty charts. Then, when the nurses add you to more parts after you've walked away and are helping get residents...

  15. What are your aspirations?

    daimere replied to eveningsky339's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Same here. It has taken me 4 years to convince my father to give me his tax info because I can't get it from my mom cause she makes too much. She believes that grants will pay for all my education....

  16. MALE CNA

    daimere replied to danny8823's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know all the men I work with are NOT as efficient as the girls. I'm sorry but one man I work with has ten years of tech experience (I have zero) and I've had to tell/show/lead him through changing...

  17. Need some advice-

    daimere replied to Andrew12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Most schools in my area require CNA for RN

  18. I must have missed the chapter on bites

    daimere replied to azeala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    From what I've been told by my job, push in and that action makes one release

  19. CNA ready for work

    daimere replied to vinceharrisky's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! If you live near Lexington, I'd check into Thomson-Hood Veteran center. It's a nursing home for veterans in Wilmore, KY. They are always looking for SRNAs, they love to promote (for when you...

  20. MALE CNA

    daimere replied to danny8823's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it depends. I applied to a hospital about 100+ times and never got a call back. Now, my mother asked one of the new techs how long it took him to get hired (no CNA experience either) and he...

  21. LPN vs RN

    daimere replied to daimere's topic in LPN to RN

    It's okay. Although it is so frustrating because today I asked my mom if she'll help me pay for some college (what the FAFSA doesn't cover) and she just blew me off. "There are grants for that," she...

  22. LPN vs RN

    daimere replied to daimere's topic in LPN to RN

    Yes, when I was hired, they even said to me, "we love to promote." I feel like I'm doing a really good job as a nurse aide that they would love to promote me. I've had numerous compliments on how...

  23. BEST on-line for uniform scrubs

    daimere replied to stressedout1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've had excellent service and scrubs from Tafford. I get them super quick and shipping is free. Although I've been buying their discount scrub prints cause I'm super broke. I also love...

  24. Whats your least favorite skill?

    daimere replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Bloop pressure is with respirations and pulse but I'm not worried about those. Just blood

  25. Whats your least favorite skill?

    daimere replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    With the state of KY, we know that blood pressure and handwashing is always the
