  1. Will I ever become a nurse?

    I am also taking my pre-reqs. Initially I had a full-time schedule (5 classes), a work program at school & working outside of school to pay the bills. It only took a few days to realize I wasn't Wonder Woman. I was allowed to drop the work progra...
  2. is this a form of medicaid abuse?

    It is illegal to sell food stamps, unfortunately people have been doing it for years. It just makes me crazy to hear things like this. I had to practically beg for help when I had no income & then they also wanted to count my grants & scholar...

  6. I'm not for sure where you live, but here in IL. CNA jobs are everywhere& I would never work for less money, we already don't get paid enough for the amount of work we do. Also, I don't know about in hospitals, but in the LTC facilities around he...
  7. Honestly, Am I too old to become a nurse?

    You're never too old for anything if you really want to do it. I'm 38, mother of 3 & starting my pre-nursing classes next month.
  8. ATTN: Becoming a Medical Assistant=Waste of Time

    I too was told that becoming a MA would "be a great career move & MA's were replacing LPN's". That was a load of c***! I did get out before completing & owing full amount. I went to Sanford Brown. They are being sued for diverting student fun...
  9. Holy Moses!! Took NCLEX-RN today

    This may or may not help. I've always found if I believed I failed-that's exactly what happened. If I just told myself I did fine-that's exactly what happened. We bring negative things in our life when we think negatively. So just keep your chin up &...
  10. Say a prayer for me!

    Just keep saying this to yourself " I passed my exam with flying colors & I'm grateful for my new job". Affirmations are wonderful! Lots of love & prayers coming your way:redpinkhe:yeah:
  11. Anatomy and Chem this Fall...who else?

    I signed up for Biology & Chemistry. I got Chemistry & US National Government. I will also be taking Freshman Inquiry, College 101(both are writing classes). So it looks like I will be taking Zoololy & Botany in the spring. I still havn't...
  12. What skills did YOU get at the CNA state exam?

    I too am in Illinois-exam only-in 1996. However, I'm recertifying so I can work while going to school for my BSN. I had to pay for my background check, contact a qualified manual skills evaluator, & I'll have to re-take my written. I was told the...

    Yes, there always seems to be a waiting list. I start my prereqs in August & even though I'll have these classes for 2 years, the head of the Nursing College I'm looking into told me to apply this coming March ( I'll still have a year of pre to g...
  15. Failed Drug Screen!

    Not that I have any real advice for you, just a question. When you went in to do the drug test did they ask you if you had taken anything in past 30 days? They should have, even if it's over the counter. Also, they should've just left a message for y...
  16. What to wear to new CNA job orientation?

    I would call and ask the facility. At the one I worked at, we had to wear our scrubs. Part of the day was spent watching movies, paperwork, etc. & part of the day was actually working. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

  20. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    No one said everyone has to wear "mom jeans". I am a mom of 3. I do wear mid-rise. I just spend time trying them on & making sure stuff's not out and about. My daughter is in school for Fashion Design, she'd disown me if I wore "mom jeans". Just ...
  21. which school would you go to?

    I don't think lesser known is always bad. Just make sure they have their proper accredidations & the courses that are necessary for LVN. Do your homework. See if other have gone & had good results with the lesser known. Tour the school & ...
  22. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    They actually do sell low-rise scrubs! I've seen them at Wal-Mart. I almost accidentally bought a pair. I didn't really read the whole tag, went in to try them on & couldn't believe what I was seeing. Needless to say, I did not buy them. I'm 38, ...
  23. Why would you wear low rise jeans....

    When I was in MA school, we had a standing announcment on test/casual days: "Cover all B's-boobs, bellies, & butts". You would think that's a given with adults-but no. You have to remind these people. :icon_roll
  24. The company I was speaking of is DaVita. Check it out on the computer. Their website is very informational. They have offices all over the country.
