I live in NWI and I will be starting CNA soon and while I do that I want to go to school to get my nursing degree (want to start by next fall), is that possible? To work and go to school for nursing or is it really hard? Im hoping to find a job work...

Im extremly interested in the nursing program and have been for a long time now. I have currently moved to Texas around the Dallas area and have been doing research on a few schools PJC and TVCC, I also came across Dallas Nursing Institute. Well my p...

I guess my best bet is to just go to the collage I want to attend and talk to the counsler...Thanks!

I have been working as a CNA for the past couple months, and I want to go into nursing. Well that is until today. . My sister called me today and told me she had to take her 8 month old girl to the ER bc she spiked a fever of 106, was in a lot of pai...

SOOOO DISGUSTING! I dont let my son play in those. . .only once and that was when we where traveling on a long road trip just to let him get out and burn some energy. The only reason I actually let him is bc there was no ball pits or anything, mostly...

Thank you for all your input. . .after a rough nights sleep and reading all your replies I decided to do a little more research on it to understand it better, which I should have done before I jumped the gun. I guess its just my nature as a mother w...

So on Wednesday I went in for an interview for a CNA position, gave them my references, filled out paper work, got a tb test and a drug test done. In the interview she said as long as everything comes back good then I have the job.Today I went back u...

All of my referenes know they are trying to be contacted, I let all my professional references that I used them, like I said they keep playing phone tag. I feel that HR isn't making theirselves available for my references when they do call back so if...

I live in Indiana and when I started my CNA course in Sept I had to have tb testing and a physical and I passed both. Well I went in for a job interview and I have to do another tb test, just one, and another physical. Why? I thought that you only ha...

Thanks everyone for you input:up:

I even had to do a drug test and Im nervous about that and I have NEVER done any drugs. . .is that normal?

My husband used to work for Brown mackie, he was the Business Officer and in collections. His sister also worked in Financial Aid. Neither of them would not recommend that collage to anyone. They are not a credited collage, he has told me a lot of ba...

This past friday I went to the doctor bc I was having trouble hearing out of my left ear, come to find out I have an ear infection, which they gave me antibiotics for. Well after I went it starting getting worse with the pain and swelling and all tha...

i started cna classes this month and the number one thing we learned to prevent spread of disease is wearing gloves and washing hands before and after any resident/patient which to me seems like common since among a few other things you shouldn't do,...

if this is true then why do they put this stuff on their care plans? sounds to me like this facility goes against a lot of state regulation. how are we as students suppose to learn what is right and wrong when we are learning and watching everything ...

mrsa stands for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. the term is used to describe a number of strains of the bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, that are resistant to a number of antibiotics, including methicillin and if i'm correct it spreads t...

They do still have it, these residents are still in isolation, besides the one in the alzheimers unit. If they didn't have it they wouldn't be on isolation, right? Im guessing if they didn't still have it the nurse wouldn't have put on all her PPE , ...

im guessing maybe in the state of indiana we as care providers are allowed to know, they put all this kind of info on their care sheets. and as a care giver i think we have a right to know (my opinion, you nurses might not agree with that and that's ...

I am not in any way going in anywhere acting like a know-it-all or trying to change anything. But I do believe I have a right to be concered for the residents that I take care of and myself. And if someone is putting my health and others health at ri...

I had a TB test this morning and I go back wednesday for a reading. . .I was just wondering how long it take for the results to start showing? I have a tiny red spot (looks like it does when you get a shot) where she poked me but thats it, if I was p...
