My suggestion is do more charting in the patients room, and less at the nurses station. when you chart in the nurses station you ppear available . when you chart in the room you appear busy.

from mid Feb. till June 17th when I took the Nclex

prep u was required for our class. it is good and the only study material i used. passed in 75 no review class. it is just lippencotts questions. it is nice that it works on your phone anywhere you have wifi

did you work full time during your pre req's? if so you can most likely pull it off. you will have no life besides work and school but it can be done. I work full time and do just fine. in fact i was the only A in the class my first semester. my advi...

if you already have a bachelors get a bsn it will be about the same amount of time.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. The problem is that almost all hospitals are owned by corporations, and the number one concern of any corporation is profit. When I entered my prerequisites for nursing in 2009 it seemed like a wise choice compare...

i just have to ask. why will you be getting a free waiver?

O.P same here and I feel the same way. we have our CNA check offs, and medical abbreviation test the first day, and a med math test the second week. if we don't get 100% by the start of the third week we are out of the program. so yes they put allot ...

I would try for a hospital job. Being CNA in a acute care is very different than long term care. I just have to ask why would you prefer ltc for CNA? I have worked both, and prefer the hospital setting. In LTC your responsibility is mostly toiletin...

My wife has been working on this for a couple of weeks, and I want to help her out and get going in the right direction. her original one was coacertation of the aorta but now she feels that is wrong. what are your opinions? she is going for her NP ...

I bet if you were to respond you would get a reply on how they could train you (for a fee). Most likely some diploma mill. This would have to be about the worst time to be a real-estate agent. They probably have one for just about every profession.

In reality both are good choices; it all depends on one’s personal situation. So neither one should be saying to the other you are making a bad choice. It sounds like you are doing some wise planning. I do question some of the people going to priva...

Not in a hospital but before I worked in a hospital I was a bricklayer for twenty years, so no HIPPA to worry about. We did a house for stenstrum when he was quarterback of the Chicago bears. He was very nice, he came in one day after work while we...

if the DON just hired " a bunch" of new nurses, chances are one or two are not going to work out so you might get an opening sooner than you think.

If you already have a BA you should look into an acelorated BSN program. you would most likely get done in the same amount of time but have a BSN. those numbers just don't seem right for a CC. sounds more like a private one to me. my CC will be under...

where are the clinicles for each? that may make a difference as to which to choose. i personaly would choose an established one over a new one.

I take it you havent worked as a CNA? that will most likely be the last time you are exited about bed baths. bedans. and pericare LOL. congrats i start this fall :)

For most if not all of the community colleges you need to be in district. If you established an in district address and, but lived in the city you would have to look up the metra rail system, but then the clinical are at hospitals so that might be to...

That is kind of hard to answer, for I think there are allot. I am from the north west suburbs of Chicago so here is my list in no particular order. Harper, Elgin community college, college of lake county, and Jolliet. None of them are easy to get int...

yes..... I applied in early march and just got my acceptance letter today. :)

I know I am going to get flamed here but, just to be devils advocate here. how many nurses here would be ok if there husband told them I just want to be a CNA (making CNA wages) ? With no ambition to further their careers. From a male perspective th...

personally I like this one it lets the patient know what to expect.

Wow how sad you two think so little of your co-workers. Are there lazy CNA's yes , but there are probably just as many lazy RNs as well. Thankfully where I work we get a little more responsibility such as EKG's, vitals, blood draws, accuechecks, an...

I think I would suggest to start worrying more about your patients and less of others. If you are not the charge nurse or the manager stop acting as one. When you constantly give management problems you become their problem. From the way you descri...

I have worked both get the hospital job if you can, but most want a years experience to hire you. my work in the hospital is almost exactly how you first responder described it. LTC consist basically of brief changing, bathing and toileting (add fe...
