  1. Too expensive for CNA class?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to atran407's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, even in California - where most people expect prices to be higher - $3,500 seems a stretch for CNA certification. Your earning potential does not match up with that. Are you sure there are no...

  2. Do classmates flunk?...or drop out on their own?

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

    First semester we lost 12 people due to flunking. Second semester two flunked, six were booted due to handbook violations; at least 10 were borderline in Med-Surg and only passed thanks to rounding...

  3. Pharmacology question

    ZanatuBelmont replied to ORNuRsE2be's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    learn the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous

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

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

    You should not have "called out" the instructor in the middle of class. There's a time and place for that, and you just gave them the tools necessary to say you disrupted the class which, in most...

  5. Should I do it?

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

    Hi, what part of TX do you live in? I'm in the state, too. You should do it. Having a "just in case" plan is

  6. Advice about nursing school

    ZanatuBelmont replied to whitea776's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I assume your program required at a minimum Introduction to A&P as a prereq. That being the case, I believe your learning will flow smoothly if you review each body system that you learned in...

  7. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    ZanatuBelmont replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    That sounds like a completely responsible plan. Since the waiting lists are at times long for nursing programs, you can take advantage of that time - while working as a CNA - getting your general...

  8. online cna training??

    ZanatuBelmont replied to nursemomof3boys's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think CNA programs should require at least 80 clinical hours, 16 hours lab, and 50 hours general skills

  9. online cna training??

    ZanatuBelmont replied to nursemomof3boys's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, such a program would be welcomed. Remember you must provide at least 16 hours "hands-on" training and a minimum of 75 hours general training. You should also research the requirements for your...

  10. Entering the adult world : (

    ZanatuBelmont replied to NursingChild's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hello, I enter the nursing world in eight weeks and I feel your pain. I am also young, 21, and yes, most of the people our age is out having fun. But here is how I look at it: you can party now, and...

  11. Gay Nurses... help!

    ZanatuBelmont replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My question was aimed at the attitude some people take when they hear a gay person "flaunt" their relationship. Many people would be quick to say the gay person is shoving their sexuality in their...

  12. Gay Nurses... help!

    ZanatuBelmont replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    i've always wondered why people consider admitting one is gay as an announcement of one's sex life. when someone asks if you are married, and the answer is "yes, my wife and i for 10 years," people...

  14. 1st Clinicals on Monday

    ZanatuBelmont replied to ladynurse1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Do not be afraid to ask questions and if you are uncomfortable with a situation, contact your clinical instructor. Don't hang over the nurses - stand reasonably far (about four feet) and passively...

  15. Single mother grants?

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

    Not sure about a "single mom grant," but I do know there are public monies available for single mother's with children going back to school, such as reduced/free housing, child care assistance, and...

  16. lpn prerequisites!

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

    We don't know. You need to meet with an academic advisor at your school of choice. Generally, the prereqs for an LVN/LPN program are fewer than the RN degree - Intro A&P and medical terminology...

  17. LPN Gets No Respect

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

    The difference between a LVN and a RN with their ADN is one year of "general education," ie more science classes, English, chemistry, etc. I think the biggest reason there is a lack of respect for the...

  18. Too heavy a workload?

    ZanatuBelmont posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hi, I graduate from my LVN program July 30th and have already signed up for some ADN prereq classes. Just curious what other people think about this workload for the fall. Too much, just right? Comp....

  19. Teacher dont like me

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Amybeth56's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    she may not realize she is ignoring you. how large is your class? even a class with 20 students is a big load for an instructor to handle. if i were in your shoes, i would schedule an office...

  21. PLESE HELP! CNA 1, CNA 2 and Phlebotomy+EKG+IV Therapy

    ZanatuBelmont replied to Bebi11's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Those courses will help you, but you will learn all that in nursing school. I do commend you for reaching further, though - if you end up taking all those courses, you will potentially be a better...

  22. Black male nurses

    ZanatuBelmont replied to dlhall's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Check your state board of nursing website, they may have the statistics. Here in Texas the number of black nurses is lower among the younger generation, higher in the 40s (then again, the median age...

  23. LPN tuition

    ZanatuBelmont replied to nursestudent1975's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Two things. First, while my school does not charge NEAR $17,000 (entire program including books & fees is $4000 for in district and near $8000 for out of district), it is not unheard of for...

  24. Just my luck...

    ZanatuBelmont replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As some have already mentioned, the "higher standards" is probably just to make the program faculty and administrators look good. Keep in mind, though, sometimes those standards make it easier for you...

  25. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    ZanatuBelmont replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Back in February I was cleaning a male patient. He was uncircumsized and since I'm not I really had no idea how to "handle" the member. What ended up happening is the foreskin kept slipping under my...
