  1. This isn't a commercial but a warning. Like most folks here, I decided to become a CNA to learn from the "ground up"," pay my dues", get in contact with healthcare professionals. It's the biggest mistake I've made in recent years. Know why? CNA sch...
  2. Most of them are lottery, the rest, about 3, maintain waitlists. What are my odds of getting in the first year I apply? All prereqs are done and everything. My list of CC nursing programs I've applied to: De Anza-waitlist Solano-waitlist Cabrillo-wa...
  3. Hey, thanks for the replies. It's been awhile since I posted this. Some news since I posted this, I got accepted to 4 schools. One in City college of SF, Riverside and on waitlists to De Anza and the one in Fairfield. Thanks again all. Faro

  7. Riverside Community College FALL 2012

    I emailed one of the directors and she said July will be when they send out acceptance letters. Good luck! At least this way we can relax some until July!
  8. Ok thanks all for the info.
  9. I got accepted to nursing school this August. I work in the ED not as a tech but a patient transporter. Very hands off in terms of patient care. The tech positions are given out by managers to favorites and the main girl doesn't like me at all but I ...

  13. CCSF 2012/2013 acceptance letters

    Yep I'll be in the fall class but haven't received my letter. Kind of jittery about it. Please post when you do so I'll have a timeframe and I'll do the same. My lottery rank was top 30
  14. Got a new cna gig working the NOC shift at a bigger company after a few months of day shift at a much smaller SNF. During the day shift, I'm showering, feeding, clothing, changing diapers, grooming and stuff and barely had time with all the number of...
  15. Is it me or the nursing home/staff?

    And if worse comes to worse, if you don't like that nursing home, just quit. Plenty of job openings for experienced CNAs even with a few months of experience under your belt. My first gig was with a SNF that was family owned and operated which meant ...
  16. Already burned out...

    /Agreed. My first gig as a CNA at a SNF I would LOVE to switch places with activities director. They'd crumble in a heartbeat.
  17. I'm on a time schedule. Those would be the only two classes I would take this quarter. I work part-time. Anyone ever try it? What were the results?
  18. I mean, yes, we did have a nursing shortage but don't you see it being a glut of nurses in a few years with everyone and their grandmother in nursing school? EVERY program I've heard of is impacted because of the long list of applicants.
  19. First Day Tomorrow! (Ah!!!)

    Oh and if you're this nervous about the first day of class you're gonna be a wreck on stateboards. Again, don't sweat it. At the stateboards, the redcross instructors want you pass and give you a LOT of slack. Heck, your CNA instructors want you to ...
  20. First Day Tomorrow! (Ah!!!)

    My three week CNA course was all lecture for like the first week then practice on mannequins then clinicals at the local LTC. Dont sweat it.
