  1. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    Graduation2016 replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another choice would be to become a PA. They are involved in the surgery as much as the surgeon and with the scrub tech they form the sterile team while the RN in the room circulates and charts. For...

  2. Working as a CNA while in school...

    Graduation2016 replied to Trinklee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I never heard of an accelerated CNA course. I think the regular 6 weeks training is accelerated enough. 4 hrs a day for 6 weeks covers a lot of material plus clinicals and skills practices. How many...

  3. TEAS 5 only accepted from that school???

    Graduation2016 replied to NorCalKid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you already took the version V, they school should take it. It is pretty new so I would assume they would honor it. I think the school begins to profit when people don't pass an specific area and...

  4. Can you be 14 and take a CNA course?

    Graduation2016 replied to IckyViqui's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nothing wrong with planning ahead. But in my opinion at 14 she's jut a kid still and should still enjoy being one. There's plenty of time to be an adult. Plus a CNA job at 14 may steer her totally in...

  5. Do FL hospitals prefer BSN?

    Graduation2016 replied to irene0213's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would imagine that if you're a new grad, they would rather go with the candidate with a BSN over the one with the ADN. I know that the difference in pay is about $.43 so not a big deal. Personally...

  6. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    Graduation2016 replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just curious, where in FL are

  7. Can you be 14 and take a CNA course?

    Graduation2016 replied to IckyViqui's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Question is, why would a 14 y/o work as a CNA? He/She should be concentrating in school being this young and wait at least until Sr year to do this. Besides, I don't think a 14 y/o would be mature...

  8. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Graduation2016 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This lab thing sounds very interesting! Starting micro and AP 2 next month. I'll be in school Tuesday and Thursday for AP 2 for lecture and lab and Monday and Wednesday for micro lecture and lab. Each...

  9. CNA that would like clinical experience with less lifting.. back hurts

    Graduation2016 replied to Kids2Feed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If we don't take our 30 minute lunch we get in trouble!!!!!! I agree that every once in a while we can't make it but it is very rarely this happens and I work L&D where you never know what's going...

  11. Anyone go from surg tech into nursing?

    Graduation2016 replied to kiki617's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been an OB Scrub Tech for 13 months. Just graduated summer 2011. I love the operating room. I do miss the main OR sometimes since all I do now are c-sections but my goal is to stay in L&D...

  12. CNA - how do you get into a hospital instead of Convalescent Home?

    Graduation2016 replied to Kids2Feed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It all depends on the organization. I started back in 09 just 1 month after I got my CNA license and had no prior experience in the medical field at all. I was lucky enough to start as a Mother/Baby...

  13. Florida Nurse, med school PR? Help

    Graduation2016 replied to Flnurse29's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Personally I would not go to a physician who only spent 2 years in med-school. Being from PR myself, I have never heard of this but I moved to Florida in 2003, so who know the crazy stuff some people...

  14. Good RN Programs South Florida

    Graduation2016 replied to ashtonscotland's topic in Florida Nursing

    From what I know about Keiser, your first 9-10 months you will be doing pre-reqs and you can meet from 8-1, or 4-10 I think but I think it's every day, or you can do online classes. That takes about a...

  22. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    Graduation2016 replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whoever goes into nursing for the money will be a very sad person. You will hate coming to work, therefore making your patients miserable because you really don't want to be there not to mention the...
