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

    JAY D, You state that you are in a 4 yr nursing program already. Why then are you taking a CNA course? If you have already completed at least one clinical rotation, hospitals will snag you up in a...

    If anyone that has graduated from here recently and has a uniform dress that they want to sell, please let me know. We had our first day of class today and were informed that for the "pinning"...

    What a ripoff! Since Lawsons wants the ladies to wear dresses, then they should fork out the money to pay for them. That much money for one ceremony is

    We weren't told we had to buy the dress from LeJoy but we were told we didn't have to buy it right now either. I just bought what I needed for the moment. I've had to spend so much money this...

    pixiegalsmom replied to brighterfuture's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I know what you mean. I've been reading posts here for about 4-6 months and as other schools notify people to their acceptance, it seems like they've had a couple of months notice prior to the start...

    pixiegalsmom replied to brighterfuture's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Well that's not very good. When they extend invitations they should send them all at once. Granted not everyone will accept, but word gets around and those that wait patiently and still don't...

    Hang in there, Brighterfuture! The mail can be slow this time of year. I'm going to the bookstore today to see what books will be required for next semester and then compare the bookstore's prices...
