    RescueGrrl211 replied to ellergirl44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have trouble getting into ADN/BSN programs you could try to find an LPN program and bridge over. I know some Community Colleges (like mine) do entry into the LPN program based on first...

  7. CNA position vs. Patient Representative

    RescueGrrl211 replied to ekidsmom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RescueGrrl211 replied to webstar's topic in General Students

    RescueGrrl211 replied to eveningsky339's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just my .02.. But I think that working with the existing CNA's would be the best place to start. Personally, (not that I have any valid experience at this sort of thing) I would have a 'come to jesus'...

    RescueGrrl211 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RescueGrrl211 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a first year LPN student (been in college for 2 years doing pre req's and waiting) and I can't believe how strict our attendance policy is! I mean, I can totally understand why regular, prompt...

  17. Strict Attendance Guidelines..

    RescueGrrl211 replied to RescueGrrl211's topic in General Students

    In any normal climate I would agree that sucking it up and going in would have been the best bet, but considering I havent been to the Dr yet I decided against it. My college is pretty up in arms over...

    RescueGrrl211 replied to RescueGrrl211's topic in General Students

    Yeah, your probably right. Im going to the doctor for a note tomorrow too, just in case something happens later on and I miss more classes. I took some mucinex and Im not coughing as much but that...

  20. Strict Attendance Guidelines..

    RescueGrrl211 replied to RescueGrrl211's topic in General Students

    Obviously, that was my first step. The response was clear as mud. "Don't come sick", yet she recanted the entire attendance policy to me. Anyone wanna just commiserate with me about strict attendance...
