Go talk to an someone in advising at the school, and get busy taking your prereqs. In ten years you'll be the same age, it is up to you if you're a nurse or not. You totally can do it if you put your nose to the grindstone. Go, go, go! Keep us posted...

jmuhammad10, I totally understand your perspective about taking out loans to go for your NP. I do not know which state in which you reside, but do a google search to see if there is an agency that advocates for rural health or underserved populations...

Hello allnurses, Hope everyone is having an awesome summer. I am currently researching some RN to MSN programs (here in NC). I was wondering if anyone has done the RN to MSN program @ UNC-Chapel Hill, and what the experience was like..... Thanks, s:...

Post moved to NC forum. Thanks, s

Hi there, I currently teach a CNAI course through my local community college. I am full time, and work 8-5, with an hour lunch break, no nights, no weekends, no holidays. I understand that most CNA instructors are part time and the full time jobs are...

Thanks Mandykal, We did go right ahead and start practicing. I searched high and low and could not find the type of worksheet I wanted. I remember we had some back in nursing school. For the test, I am thinking that I will take your advise and make ...

Hello nursing world,:yeah: As some may know, I have taken a teaching position at our local cc teaching a CNA program. Oh, it is so fun and exciting. We are working on VS. I was wondering if anyone knows where I may find pictures of various BP and tem...

elkpark, Thanks for your reply. You have some valid points! -s

Hello all, Hope everyone is doing well. Currently I am considering accepting a full time position teaching CNA courses at a local community college. I was wondering if any of you are working or have recently worked for a NC community college, if so w...

Thanks for your reply! I will be a 12 month employee. My first day was Thursday. Any info would be greatly helpful! -s:loveya:

You are a caring person.... and that is very important in nursing. I agree with what someone mentioned earlier, in time you will find a way to cope with the stressors. Keep your head up. It is a wonderful calling to be a nurse, you will make it throu...

ch232, I could totally be wrong as I live in NC and you may not. It is my understanding that ALFs do not have to have a nurse on staff at all. It is a SNF that must be staffed with nurses (as well as CNAs). So if this is true, the nurse would be "ext...

myperdas, Just curious, have you found anything yet? I really hope so, I can only imagine how much that could make a person feel down in the dumps. -s

Welcome to NC~ May this be the start of many GREAT things, -s

Hello smartnurse1982, Have you tried over at the Valley? Keep you hopes up. When you submit an application, call the hiring manager a couple of days later to follow up on your application status. Just my two cents. Hopefully something will come alon...

Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your first day.... may it be one of many,many,many more. -s

Have you found anyone yet? Perhaps I can help. -s

nursejoy1, Thanks for you insight! I am really excited.

Hello everyone, I am considering accepting a full time position teaching CNA courses (through a community college). I am a RN and have a total of six years in healthcare (CNA 1st then RN), and feel I have alot to offer! I have always had a passion f...

Some have already stated this, but you can get some acute (but more stable) residents at a SNF. Don't think that you will not have trachs, wound vacs, dressing changes, feeding tubes, IV pumps, critical labs, etc... just because you are at a SNF. I ...

Good luck with your interview tomorrow. Remember, you can do it, be confident! Keep us posted. -s

Speak with the person doing the actual schedule. Are they aware of your situation? LTC can be rough, but first just make sure everyone is on the same page. If they are still not willing to work with you, look elsewhere.... just my 2 cents. -s

:yeah: Here's to having a WONDERFUL day tomorrow! Please do let us know how it went. -s

Emmanuel and Leslie, I now have an understanding of how this related to my pt's clinical picture. Thank you sooooo much. Tomorrow during post conferance I will be able to speak on the matter more intellegently. Again thanks for such a rapid reply! S...

Hey gang, Hope all is well with everyone. In clinicals (I am in a nursing intern program) corrected calciums came up. I don't think I heard about this in nursing school. I've done some research, and all I can find is clinical study information and t...
