If i get licensed as an RN from one state, like IL, would I need to be re-licensed if I moved to another, like Minnesota. Also, how about license for CNA, do I have to be re-licensed. If so, how does the process work.

I was wondering how nursing students are graded, and how easy it is to get a good grade.

Thank you all for these wonderful posts. I'll always keep them in mind!

Not to be negative or anything, but as a nursing student, I'm interested in the usually understated and ignored problems that nurses face on daily basis. Let's be realistic and not idealistic 1) What are the health risks in the profession, and how could you prevent them? -I've heard horror stories about patient assaults and know a person that was infected with an incurable disease working as a nurse. -Also, back pain and harsh chemicals. -Does wearing 3 layers of gloves prevent you from sticking yourself in addition to precaution? 2) What are the problems that nurses face, and how would they be dealt with? - I heard patients can be troublesome -Degradation from doctors -Horrible politics If you could share general knowledge or specific stories, it would be great!

As a prospective cna, I was wondering what to expect and have a couple questions. 1) First off, how long does it take to be immune to the idea of bathing/cleaning someone, especially one of the opposite gender? 2) Secondly, are the residents of LTC facilities generally mean or nice to cna's. What about the nurses? 3) How would residents view me, a 18 year old male CNA. Would that cause some uneasiness, or are they completely fine with it? 4) Since I am going to nursing school in the day, is it possible to work night or evening shifts? 5) Would employers be turned off by an 18 year old male CNA? Thanks for all the future answers. Will be looking forward to reading them! Any more info beyond these questions would be appreciated.
