hello I have a question...probably a dumb one but I have to ask. I'm gonna be starting CNA classes in May and I'm really excited about it. My main goal is to eventually become an RN but I'm taking baby steps first. I really want to be a nurse cause I...

hi! :wink2: I'm applying to the LPN program at Lowell Tech in Tyngsboro that starts in late August. I'm due to take the NET in early May. I'm super excited about it and I really really REALLY hope I get into the program. My question is the following:...

hey! here's what might be a dumb question: you can become a crna after becoming an rn, correct? I mean, that's pretty obvious, but what I mean is, once you're an rn, can you continue on to become a crna without needing to become or take anything in b...

that's so grossss!!!! and it makes me so sad to think that it's also so true!!!

well I REALLLLYYY hope that I get over it because I'm seriously doubting whether nursing is really for me. Everyone I talk to for some advice kinda looks at me like "are you serious? Nurses can't have phobias of anything gross." things like that, you...

hi :) I'm wondering if there are any CNAs out there who are currently working, or have previously worked, in any Mass hospitals? I ask only becuase I'm starting my CNA class soon and I'd really like to work in a hospital since I plan on furthering my...

that actually does help a whole lot because I figured if I can't get a hospital job then I'll just work for a nursing home and try again at a hospital at a later time. But everyone does tell me that working at a hospital and getting the feel of it wi...

Well you say that MGH has a very good rep so I would go with that choice simply because that might give you extra points against other nurses that might want the same job as you once your all done with school and looking for work. But if you want to ...

hey all :) I was online the other day and came across a forum about nursing. Someone had asked how many people actually like their jobs as a nurse and are happy with their career choice. Well, the people who responded, who all claimed to be nurses, w...

I actually found the forum on indeed.com, not on this site. I know it's something I'll have to try out on my own before I know whether or not I like it; which is why I'm only starting out as a CNA and not diving head first into going to nursing schoo...

good to know. thanks =]

I dont think it matters where you go to school as long as you're licensed to work in the state where you actually want to work. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to take the test in CA once you're done with school, you might not be forced to take it in ...

yeah that's what I though. I'm in Mass and it's LPN here. I'm also doing LPN courses too before I dive into RN. AND I'm starting CNA classes in about a month before I do LPN...it's good to start at the bottom and work your way up, so in that case, I...

It seems as though your ultimate goal is to achieve your RN degree so wont you have to take and pass a chemistry class anyhow? I would suggest getting a tutor and sticking with the RN program. However, trophywife81 brings up a good point. Working as ...

thanks for the input...i guess i should just wait and see how to best deal with it. i have a little girl too and, sure i get really anxious when she's sick to her tummy, but once it happens i just kinda deal with it. so maybe it'll be the same once i...

hey all :) I'm currently looking to enroll in an LPN program and then eventually I plan on getting my RN. Only thing is that most community colleges in my area are all booked on their PN programs and being on a wait list isnt really an option for me....

their NCLEX pass rate is actually 61.90% and it's been around that same rate for the past 2-3 yrs. it's the lowest in the state of NH so i'm gonna assume that's not the best choice. does anyone know of any other programs, preferably in Mass, that are...

hi :) I'm interested in either an lpn or cna class. All the community colleges in my area a full for the PN classes and I dont want to wait around and do nothing until new classes start, so I figured why not do CNA classes and work as a CNA until the...

it actually did help out alot. thanks! :nuke:
