  1. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

    Anise1 replied to Miwila's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Between the two evils, you would probably be better off getting the nursing home training rather than going to Everest. The main problem in Tennessee with getting training through an LTC, however, is...

  2. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

    Anise1 replied to Miwila's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's good to know our limitations, but I would still respectfully wonder if you have truly done enough research, fact-gathering, and soul-searching to know whether you would succeed at nursing or not....

  4. PLEASE, I need some support!!

    Anise1 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This has been a very difficult week for me. My brother suddenly got VERY sick and he's the only family I'm really close to. It happened literally overnight, completely out of the blue, and his...

  5. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    Anise1 replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I passed the TN CNA exam!!!! I actually passed both the written and skills portions! Yes, miracles can happen; I never thought I'd see the day, but I PASSED THE TEST!! Ahem. Anyway, I really didn't...

  6. Needing advice about MSW vs RN

    Anise1 replied to jcmoore07's topic in Psychiatric

    I just saw an ad for an MSW position and thought of how often I've been told recently (over just how many geographical areas) that each such ad receives literally hundreds of applications. A friend of...

  7. PLEASE, I need some support!!

    Anise1 replied to Anise1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, the test subject (the granddaughter, that is) definitely didn't start screaming, or anything like that at all. As soon as she said it hurt, I felt absolutely awful and apologized, asked if she was...

  8. Needing advice about MSW vs RN

    Anise1 replied to jcmoore07's topic in Psychiatric

    Update: I got a CNA job! Yay! I'll start next Wednesday. But again... it really kind of confirms what I said before. I put in an application, was called 3 days later,interviewed 4 days after that, and...

  9. How are CNA shifts usually divided?

    Anise1 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, I actually got a CNA job-- yay!! What a CONCEPT. A job, where they pay you money... just imagine... Anyway. The way they divide it up is two twelve-hour shift days, then two days off, then...

  10. How are CNA shifts usually divided?

    Anise1 replied to Anise1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    BTW, I think I understand it now... the way they divide it really is a little bit confusing. It's Monday and Tuesday on, Wednesday and Thursday off, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on one week. Then, the...

  11. Thinking about getting into psych nursing-- advice?

    Anise1 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    hi all... (waves) well, the title pretty much says it all, in a way. i'm not sure how serious i am about this idea yet; i'm really just starting to think about it and explore my options. i have a...

  12. Psychiatric Nurses-- Scope of Practice?

    Anise1 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi! (waves to all) I'm seriously thinking about going into psychiatric nursing-- probably not now, but in a couple of years. I would need to get some prerequisites out of the way first anyway, and I...

  13. Advice on accelerated programs and psych nurse practitioners?

    Anise1 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all... (waves) I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on, and/or knowledge about, the Oregon State Health University Accelerated Bachelor of Science to Masters Program for Nurse Midwifery and...

  14. Advice on accelerated programs and psych nurse practitioners?

    Anise1 replied to Anise1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No, it isn't repetition at all, because it's YOUR opinion and your experience. :) Some of the pre-req's I have from the MSW program; some I would still need to get, and OSHU will actually take them...

  15. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

    Anise1 replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I definitely agree with the last few posts. It seems that everyone who has recently graduated from any type of human services-related program right now (including health care, although from everything...

  16. Psychiatric Nurses-- Scope of Practice?

    Anise1 replied to Anise1's topic in Psychiatric

    I really appreciate the advice. :) I would definitely be looking at psych NP anyway, and I definitely do have a certain amount of psychotherapy training and experience as an MSW. (MSW's can do...

  17. Physical considerations for CNAs?

    Anise1 replied to csab's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As for higher education... I have a master's degree in social work. After going back to school, scraping, sacrificing, overcoming obstacles, etc., I sent out over 60 applications without one...

  18. Needing advice about MSW vs RN

    Anise1 replied to jcmoore07's topic in Psychiatric

    I beg you not to get an MSW. It's not because of the money. It's because of the heartbreak of sending out 60-100 job applications and not getting so much as one interview, which is what happened to...

  19. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

    Anise1 replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm glad someone else said that who's already an RN, because I was thinking the same thing (but didn't want to be the one to say it...) Maybe it's actually a good thing to have started out as an MSW....

  20. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

    Anise1 replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm in Nashville too-- NATS is the best program. It is just amazing to me to be basically GUARANTEED work, no matter what kind! Probably because I"m coming from social work, where the job situation is...

  21. Thinking about getting into psych nursing-- advice?

    Anise1 replied to Anise1's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm doing that right now, actually-- applying everyplace that has inpatient psych and would use techs. There are a few hospitals in this area. We will see what happens! :) It is such an incredible...

  22. I'd like to get a CNA cert-- good idea?

    Anise1 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi all... (waves) I'm a social worker with an MSW, and there are NO JOBS, NONE, NONE, NONE for MSW's in this area. (Did I mention there weren't any around here?) Anyway, one thing I've actually seen...

  23. Will I ever find a CNA job?

    Anise1 replied to Shannon82's topic in General Nursing

    That's kind of what I was wondering about too as I read this. I'm about to start CNA training in a couple of weeks, but I do NOT expect to find a hospital job. I will be MORE than happy to work in a...
