    Dresdenchick posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am getting ready to take my nurse assistant test in Ohio. I am not worried about the written part, but I am worried about the practical exam. I am afraid I am going to forget something from one of...

    Dresdenchick posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am starting an LPN program in July here in Ohio. I have been really excited about it because I have always wanted to be a nurse. Since so many of the RN programs have waiting lists I decided to...

    In my STNA class today we had a guy come in and talk to us about continuing education and he mentioned that all the hospitals in our area are planning on getting magnet status. From what he said it...

    Dresdenchick replied to Dresdenchick's topic in Nursing Career

    I am a night person, I usually stay up all night and sleep all day anyway, that's why I would prefer nights. Also it means that I can go to school during the
