    Career2_BSN replied to joannalpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Career2_BSN replied to remmsyaya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  4. Should I continue with school?

    Career2_BSN replied to BeAwesome's topic in General Students

    Only you will know what's right for you and from your post, it sounds as though you already know the answer. Your kids will only be little once and your child-bearing years are numbered. Your...

    Career2_BSN replied to Skayda's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In California, we were told we have 2 years after completing the class to take the certification test. We were also told you can get a "green book" or "blue book" that has all of the testable skills...

    Career2_BSN replied to MiaNursingStudent's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  9. Exhausted

    Career2_BSN replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off....are you from the South or the Midwest because only those two groups are ever "fixing" to do something. hahaha (I'm an Okie, I know). My sis-n-law called me on another one recently...

  10. Older Nursing Students

    Career2_BSN replied to faithfl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be 40 when I sit for NCLEX. I feel like a spring chicken with all of you. I'm so happy to read that I'll have some peers through school. During my pre-reqs, I made study partners (and...

  11. Scrubs!!!!

    Career2_BSN replied to Kmonte's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Be thankful you have a choice of what to wear. My CNA school gave us our scrubs as part of our tuition. The tops are the biggest, boxiest things and the pants are big. BUT...they soften in the wash...

  13. How many of you practice on your family members?

    Career2_BSN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I have every intention of practicing the non-invasive things on my family. Just last weekend I joked with my parents about disciplining the kids via the invasive things...."oh yea, you don't want to...

  14. Studying long hours - How do you do it?

    Career2_BSN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I can do some studying with the kids. We all sit around the kitchen table with our books. Hubby is the only one without homework so his "homework" is to assist the younger two on their assignments...

  15. Planning before nursing school starts...

    Career2_BSN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    We've been paying off bills for the last couple of years and will be debt free (except for mortgage) when nursing school starts. We're building the savings accounts and I'm also getting my CNA so I...

  16. Wearing Rings

    Career2_BSN replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I bought a $20 plain, tungsten band to wear as a wedding band during work. The advertisement even said it was hypoallergenic and antibacterial (only because nothing will stick to it). My mother's...

  17. Not feeling anything at the sight of death

    Career2_BSN replied to Purple93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Julz68 - I'm a crier, too. I actually searched the topic thoroughly before following my path into this field to ensure I wasn't alone on that. Oddly enough, the comment I saw most frequently was...

  18. Job search

    Career2_BSN replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I will soon be in your shoes. I currently have a deskjob - have for years - and am in a CNA class so I can work as a CNA while in NS. I know my current employer won't work around my school schedule...

  19. Why can't I get a job as CNA?

    Career2_BSN replied to AM326's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Did you look on Craigslist? My mom works for an Ophthalmologist and they almost strictly advertise there. They don't want to pay for job placements and a lot of people read Craigslist. I started...

  20. Will I pass CNA if I miss 1 day?

    Career2_BSN replied to brookedavis20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my program, the policy reads that we have to make up every missed hour and we pay $35/hour to make up this time. The state of CA is very strict on how many hours in lecture and in clinicals and...

  21. any cnas ever catch anything from their residents/patients

    Career2_BSN replied to mwilso2318's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm still a student so haven't had much opportunity to catch much, however, I taught preschool for several years and even with lots of hand-washing, everyone (students and teacher alike) seemed to...

  22. CNA certificate online vs actually going to school

    Career2_BSN replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm taking a CNA class right now in CA and we are required to have 101 clinical hours....can't do that online. Since they'll be showing us how to do everything in lab, hands-on with manikins and...

  23. Working Full Time and a Student Full Time

    Career2_BSN replied to NurseBre94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've seen on here that some CNAs work 3 12s over the weekend or 2 doubles on Saturday and Sunday (I can't imagine 16-hour work days, but if only 2 and off the rest of the week, it might be doable)....

  24. Positive I'm about to get fired

    Career2_BSN replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Career2_BSN replied to amberdawn85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
