Hi, Why was your dui classified as a misdemeanor? I'm in nj, and I have a dwi. I will be going for nursing also. This hasn't affected me during my application for a cna and pharmacy technician. Maybe your state is different, but I don't think a dui will hurt you. Check with your state. I don't think it even comes up on the background check, but my dwi is not a misdemeanor. Call the background check agency that will be used at school and check with them. That's what I did and they said I would be okay.

Hi all, I am currently enrolled in a course to complete my cna. I will work as a cna for a few years while saving up to get my lpn. I don't plan on getting my rn. Will I be okay in the future? There's so much talk of lpn's being phased out. Right now, I am tired of school. I have a bachelor's degree in a subject that hasn't helped me secure a job. I just want to work at something interesting, make a liveable salary, and relax. Lpn with no intention of getting rn. I may change my mind later but right now this is what I want to do. Also, I will need to work once I have enough money to pay for my lpn program. Can you work part time as a cna while attending school. How many hours do they offer part time cnas usually. Thanks to everyone in advance.

The mental illness would be paranoid schizophrenia. Is this highly unlikely? And would it be way too stressful of a career? Lastly, are there any other medical professions that you would suggest?

Thank you!

Can someone with paranoid schizophrenia work as a cna or rn (get licensed) in nj? It is not so severe. No hallucinations. Mostly paranoia and non-violent. No criminal history. If so, would the person have a problem if they decide to move to another state and work as a nurse? I have searched the web and could not find much info on this. I have seen here that some people with bipolar are working as a nurse and another where someone with a less severe form of schizophrenia was a nursing student. Does anyone know where I can find information on this?

Thanks for the info. I have alot to consider. I have been reading posts on other websites about how much others have come to hate nursing altogether. I would like to help people, but I am not sure that's enough to go on.

Hi, I am thinking about going to school to be an RN. I really don't know if this is the right career for me. I am also scared too because of the responsibility involved. Can anyone tell about what it's like to be an RN in a nursing home? The typical day, the abuse, the hours, is there alot of overtime?. If I do continue in this career, I was thinking that I would just work and stay in the nursing home field. Would that be weird? Out of all specialties, this seems most appealing. Well, this and psychiatric nursing.
