Now since hospitals are no longer hiring LPN's I think CNAs could possibly have more job requirements later in the future. CNA's already do EKG's and blood draws at some hospitals with further training. In the LPN course at my college they do not te...

Hello, Im from FL and currently go to Lake Worth Palm Beach State College I can honestly say Im lovin it! :redpinkhe Im in the CNA course here and Im desperately wanting to further my education to LPN 16 month course with 9 months extra for RN bridge...

I'm trying to figure a daily schedule. Anyone interested in letting me know how long the classes are? I work 7-3pm 4 days a week, and work every other weekend as CNA in a skilled nursing facility. Today Im officially full time! I just hope I'll be a...

Thanks guys for the info! I do have to take the CPT test. I am refreshing my math so I get a high score that way I wont have to take the remedial class. So was that 3 hours each day? I'll have to sit down after my CPT scores and see what the schedule...

I hope Palm Beach State has the students practice on cadavers! That would be exciting!

FLORIDA STATE: SOUTH I was hired at a Skilled Nursing Facility/Rehab as a CNA with no experience and I work 7am-3pm PRN usually 4 days a week and some weekends. I get paid 10.00 an hour and 11.00 an hour on weekends. Time and a half on major holidays...

Hi, 1. Are some of these classes general edu? 2. Are these classes required when you walk in to college if you have no college education? (for the ADN program) 3. Do these classes have a time limit after you complete them, like the pre-r...

"time limit"- Pre-reqs have a 5 year or 10 year time limit.

Hi Muffin, I know this was from July... But I have a question for you.. You said at first you were set to enter in ASN program at PBSC. I would like to do this. I have my CNA. I do not have any college education, Do you think there is a way for me to...

Okay. I thought they did walk ins...IDK. Thank you for your input. AS Degree it is. I really would like to get this done NOW. General Education. You said 60 hours?

Hi lex thank you for responding to me :) I did go to the College today to speak with an advisor, they are booked up until the 30th! Seesh. I understand the LPN is not a degree program and I would like to bridge over to RN from the LPN program, they ...

Hi Lex! I read your comment above, You said that you pursued your AA prior to NS. The AA is general education right? I would like to get my general education out of the way while I wait for my sister to turn 16. She's 12 now. Then I can go on to star...

Hello and thanks for looking at my post. Im a little confused in how I should do this. I have not had any college schooling. I did however complete the CNA course (PBSC) and would like to start on my pre-reqs. I take care of my sister here in FL ...

Yes I defiantly agree I need to get my butt up there! I will do this. I did talk to a fellow CNA student and she told me that the counselors tried to push her to take on the AA rather than AS. IDK why. But Thank you all of you!

I would first like to get the General stuff out of the way while I wait until my sister turns 16. she's 12 now. I would like to do this before I take Pre-reqs. Is this possible?

How long does the General Education take if I were to do them one by one?

Thank you very much for your responses! So in order for you to complete your ADN you have to do the RN pre-reqs first? And those pre-reqs have time limits right? Before the ADN, I need to have the general edu done, am I getting this right? So if I c...

BSN is way down the road, I would like to get the RN program done first, and see if I want to do more schooling.

I would like to get my general education out of the way, before I start my pre-reqs. Im sorry, Im new to all this and like I said before- Im confused. So there are pre-reqs for the ADN as well as pre-reqs for the RN course? Can I get the ADN start...

ADN for now

Okay I freaking out right about now! I'm done with training and I'm ready to do my own thing, but there is something I'm not confident about: Getting dead weight up and out of bed with mechanical lift. I did practice a whole two weeks but I assisted...

The lift has a back support strap with a velcro belt and you simply take it and put it around the pt. There are two hooks that you connect the straps on. The Lift has a cushion shaped for the lower legs to poistion correctly and a place for the feet ...

Im brand spankin new, I dont know the difference between the two. But it was nice, made life simple plus the pt couldnt grab at my shirt this time lol
