I feel the same way! I found out 2 weeks ago that I got accepted for an RN program that starts in August. At first, I was ecstatic but now I'm excited and super anxious. I feel like there is so much preparation of things to get in order before I actu...

I graduated in May 2008 (in California) with a B.S. degree in Biology. I moved to New Mexico after. I just decided that I want to follow my "dream" of becoming a nurse. I will start taking my pre-requisites in Spring 2009. In order to get into Univer...

I will be taking the CNA course starting in January and I just realized that having tattoos/more than one ear piercing might be a problem. My mom is a nurse and when she worked at a hospital they only allowed her to have single-hole ear piercings. I ...

Hi there, I am currently enrolled in a CNA class in New Mexico. We are in clinicals and will be done with the class in 3 weeks. I am planning on moving back to California (where I'm from) after the class is over. What I am wondering is can I take the...

I started my CNA class January 22 and it goes until April 22nd! Its a long course but its a really good one. We have already learned so much. I love this class a lot!! The skills take a lot of practice and I hope I can perfect them!

What does it mean to "challenge" an exam?

Hi! I just started my NA class a week ago and I love it so far! I am interested in probably going on and becoming an RN. However, until then I do want to work as an NA because I am interested in being one and because I want some health care experienc...

That is crazy! I would be furious. I do think that he might be able to get away with working in the medical field of some sort. Maybe EMT??

I am very interested in becoming a nurse. I am going to start by becoming a CNA first to get my feet wet in the medical field before I take the few pre-requisites I have. But the issue I'm having in my mind is the use of pharmaceuticals in western me...

Oh hahaha. I didn't see the little ":smokin:" in the previous entry. Awesome

What is MJ??

I forgot to mention my nostril stud. Would this be an issue? I totally forgot I even have one because its so not a big deal to me. I've had this for 8 years and it would be horrible to take it out.

I will be taking the CNA courses starting in less than a month. I hope to go on to an Accelerated 2nd Bachelors RN program later. I wanted to become a CNA first to see if I enjoy working in the medical field and if this is for me. If I do like the CN...

Thanks for your reply. What is a Med-Surg? I keep hearing people say stuff about that on here...

I'm doing the same thing as you! I will be taking the CNA class in Spring 09. (under a month from now!) I think I want to be a nurse but I want to make sure I enjoy working in the medical field before I go through school again. I also think working a...

Thank you for the PM. I can't reply because I'm a new member. But I have been emailing with that lady already. I should go talk to her in person. Thanks so much!!

Medic09, Thank you for your reply. You are right, I cannot stress over things I can't control. I have a major problem with this and I have given myself an ulcer recently because of this! I basically want to try and do everything in my power to improv...

Thanks for replying. I just have another question...What types of volunteer work or paid work did you do to show your "commitment to nursing"? I'm planning on volunteering at UNMH and Presbyterian. But I don't know if this is enough. Did you have a ...

Hi, so my dilemma is whether or not I should take the classes to become a CNA this coming Spring 2009 semester or if I should start taking my pre-requisites this Spring? I really want to become a nurse but I know that I cannot get into a program over...

I have 2 questions: One, I was wondering what the wait list is like for the LPN program at CNM. How long do you have to wait before you can start the actual nursing classes? Two, where are you working as a CNA? I might take the CNA class next fall an...

I will be starting my pre-requisites in Spring 2009. I just have 3 classes to take and then I will apply to an accelerated BSN program. Until I apply, I want to volunteer. I plan on volunteering at 2 different hospitals, once a week each. But what I...
