  1. DALLAS CNA schools?

    pomegranate posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've found information on lots of them, and I was wondering if anyone had a particular recommendation for any CNA schools in the Dallas Area. All the other sources I read seemed to be written by the...

  2. Mandated scrub colors

    pomegranate replied to FLOBRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's stupid that housekeeping and unit secretaries wear scrubs....a hospital I was at recently had the PARKING LOT ATTENDANT in scrubs. Save them for people who actually do patient care! On...

  3. Dallas-Fort Worth area hiring practices of CNA's

    pomegranate replied to Brendym27's topic in Texas Nursing

  5. Any Platt College Dallas Grads?

    pomegranate replied to dixon518's topic in Texas Nursing

    Platt seemed pretty ghetto compared to DNI in my opinion...DNI charged 26k beginning in August/September, so it's probably up a bit by

  7. $$$ to become a LVN

    pomegranate replied to YOUNGRN23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would be cautious of the fact that sallie mae doesn't endorse them anymore, because they usually have standards for what schools they will support and if the school you want to go to doesn't meet...

  8. Clinicals

    pomegranate replied to Busia's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We have 2 weeks straight of 8 hour clinical/sims lab for Fundamentals at the end of our first quarter. I don't know for sure how many clinical days we have for Med Surg 1-3 and Peds and OB, but our...

  9. Dallas Nursing Institute

    pomegranate replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

  11. Becoming a Hypochondriac

    pomegranate posted a topic in General Students

  13. Becoming a Hypochondriac

    pomegranate replied to pomegranate's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it's had positive effects, too---I'm becoming way more health conscious about what I eat overall, as well as my general body mechanics and such. And I haven't been...

  14. Nursing school double standards?

    pomegranate replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    That's true, of course. What I really meant by "if she can, then they can too" was really more a rebuttal to the excause along the lines of people saying that they CAN'T ~because~ they have kids. As...

  15. Nursing school double standards?

    pomegranate replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    Exactly what I was trying to say Mi Vida Loca! you know, I understand that things happen sometimes...there is traffic every day on the highway I take to school and accidents every other day, so I plan...

  16. Nursing school double standards?

    pomegranate replied to Risgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, but this especially irked me >>Who needs to get flamed by those who have never worked in a man's field and know that this set of behavior would never happen in their world. We, who...
