  1. Covering tattoos for clinicals?

    GoodtimeRN replied to chinacatSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    As someone who is heavily tattooed, I understand that most facilities do not appreciate the art of tattooing as much as I do. If you want to look clean and professional, you must cover up your...

    GoodtimeRN replied to jala's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  12. What inspired you to become a nurse?

    GoodtimeRN replied to iheart's topic in General Nursing

    When I was 18, I knew I was supposed to become a nurse, but I wasn't ready yet. I have always had a strong desire to help people and I was so inspired by what so many nurses do. They RUN the...

  13. I would like to know what path you took to get into the LVN program.

    GoodtimeRN replied to gasperinvan's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Pretty much every school you attend you have to take an entrance exam. They need to know where you're at academically. And these days, most of them have a wait list. I was at a CC and waited 2 years...

    GoodtimeRN replied to ~Evette~'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  19. Student Nurses automatically CNA's

    GoodtimeRN replied to Ccutie515's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At my school, you MUST take a CNA course before you can enter the nursing classes. They teach you a lot of basics that you do NOT learn in nursing school (even things like how to give a bed bath!). I...

  25. Anyone else wating on their results from BCC'S Nursing Entrance Exam?

    GoodtimeRN replied to Cinqui73's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You have to get a pass from your counselor to go down to the testing center and take the NET. I believe you only have to get a 50 to pass. As far as I know, your actual score doesn't really matter so...
