  1. Graduating in Dec,, should I start job search yet?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to cincin1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would take advantage of recruiters STAT! introduce yourself, give them your contact information and make a lasting first impression! Now is the time to build bridges, in other words. Other than...

  2. Working as a CNA while getting BSN.

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Tasenhall's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think working as a CNA while in nursing school - regardless the level - is an intelligent decision. Holding any job during nursing school - regardless the level - is difficult, so working as an aide...

  3. How do you study for clinical check offs?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to bcskittlez's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'd like to add: You can do what a married couple did in my program first semester: practice placing a foley and NG tube into your significant other or any willing close family

  4. No Money for NCLEX Review......Is It Necessary?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Mommyto3NursetoBe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Heather, If I were in your shoes (actually, I am--money is tight!) I wouldn't take the NCLEX review. Since you lack the money for the course, how about you study a Saunders guide? That is one of...

  5. What Do Acute Care CNA's Do?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to junogreen29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What state do you work in? Where I live the only time a CNA does the work you mentioned is when it's "secret" to the "outside world." Just curious... I find it very interesting that the work a CNA can...

  6. What Do Acute Care CNA's Do?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to junogreen29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I disagree. There is a difference in the level of care you provide to patients depending on the unit you are working in. It is not "just hospital work." Different floors require different skills and...

  7. I think my instructors hates me!!!!

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Etana85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    i understand your frustration, but what you consider arguing with the professor and what the teacher thinks are two different things. let the professor judge the situation - he/she may have a good...

  8. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First, please calm down. Second, you are picking my previous posts to pieces to make your "point." The fact is, it is 190% true that a nursing program can be reported. I never specifically said a...

  9. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No, no, no. The state board can be called upon to investigate a program if they receive complaints that the quality of education is suffering (i.e., distractions permitted in class). If you want to...

  10. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Indeed. Not to mention, but they're (or one person, at least) is beginning to pick statements

  11. Anybody doing nursing with a friend, family member, etc?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to AHinch1988's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First, congratulations - LVN nursing school will change your life! About your mother. I don't think you should pressure her into doing the LVN-to-RN bridge. When she finishes the program, she will...

  12. Canada's healthcare saved her; Ours won't cover her

    ZanatuBelmont replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I completely agree. One of my aunts - who died last year - grew up and lived in poverty her entire life. My mother bought her private health insurance and as soon as my aunt received her card, she...

  13. Canada's healthcare saved her; Ours won't cover her

    ZanatuBelmont replied to blue note's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That won't happen until American's - as a collective society - focuses on preventing health problems rather than "quick fixing" their

  14. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    They can make your program

  15. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    A person can report any nursing program if he or she feels the quality of education provided is suffering. That can include disruptive behavior, such as rudely munching on food during class....

  16. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What school and program is this? I want to know so I can report

  17. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Movin'onUP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Last July during orientation, our director told us: "And no, pregnancy is not an excuse." In other words, throw your excuses, no matter how legitimate they are, out the window. Unless someone is on...

  18. ACLS or CPR traning?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to newlpn_chic's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wasn't aware ACLS certification was required for some programs. I would double check with your program coordinator. Perhaps you misunderstood her statement? Maybe she jumped from "You need to be CPR...

  19. LVN program vs finishing prereqs for RN

    ZanatuBelmont replied to atran407's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First, let me just say how much I admire your character! I think you will make a great nurse. That said, I'd like to know if there is an LVN and RN program at your community college. If so, I think...

  20. What do ment think of NS?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Guest717002's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I guess you could say "medium" as my experience with nursing school. The hardest part in nursing school isn't really the material, it is all the sacrifices that come with successful completion of...

  21. How important is neuro to an LVN/LPN?

    ZanatuBelmont posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    A few weeks ago in class I asked my instructor to explain a way to remember all the pairs of cranial nerves. He told me point blank, "For your scope of practice, and level of education, the LVN does...

  22. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    "Men know men." This isn't a forum about junior high career options. This is a forum about healthcare professionals. You strike me as someone terribly

  23. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wasn't referring to your not preferring a male provider as sexist in nature. I was not even offended by your blatant rejection of all male providers. I was, however, offended because you implied...

  24. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You don't spend 12 years specializing in an area as a doctor just to come away not knowing the problems or "feelings" that a woman faces medically, be it a female or male provider. I found your views...

  25. LPN Gets No Respect

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just can't imagine why someone would think that. Of course the LVN/LPN is a real nurse. In many ways, getting the LPN/LVN certification is more difficult than attaining the ADN. Why? While the ADN...
