  1. Going straight for my RN

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in General Nursing

    Well I was a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant, you have to be state certified) and now I'm an LPN and I'm one semester away from being an RN. I found having a background in nursing extremely helpful....

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to chocolateskye's topic in Nursing Career

  5. Can I still get into nursing program even with previous bad grades?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to sweetmaple07's topic in Nursing Career

    Try a community college. They will usually have lower standards (nothing against community colleges - I got my LPN from one!). You can take pre req's, get A's and then apply to the nursing school....

  6. Don't know if nursing is right for me.

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to cloudy817's topic in Nursing Career

    I always say that, too. Being a CNA is hard, hard work and a dirty job. If you can do that and enjoy it, you can be a nurse. It will help with school, too. I was a CNA, then an LPN. Being a CNA...

  7. To be or not to be a nurse??

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to angl987's topic in Nursing Career

    You ever think of doing home care? Or do you think you can stick it out in a nursing home just long enough to be considered

  8. I have given Nursing my best is it not for me?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to chocolateskye's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked as a CNA for a year and a half before becoming a LPN. I was still put through the whole "nurses eat their young thing" when I became a nurse. Then someone told them to knock it off and they...

  9. Why is everything the day shifts responsibility?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to JenniferSews's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Not to sound like a jerk, but then why don't you switch to nights if it's so

  10. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One of my favorite things about my fellow nurses is the fact that most of us aren't ashamed to talk about

  11. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah that's the best part. Guys are always so proud of how they look when personally I think both men and women kinda are funny looking naked. And guys are so proud but think women can't be natural...

  13. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ummm maybe TMI but I enjoy how it feels to not have the hair....but I do it because I like it. Also my bf doesn't have hair there either. If he told me that I had to, or withheld "rewards" or...

  14. What to do with CNAs that sleep during the night shift?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to Plagueis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We can sleep on lunch breaks. We are allowed to bring something to do during the off time when our work is finished. Some people bring books. I bring schoolwork. Since school is the whole reason I...

  15. Why is everything the day shifts responsibility?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to JenniferSews's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have worked all 3 shifts (we have 6a-2p, 2p-10p, and 10p-6a). I hate being at work at 6 am. I loved afternoon shift the best. I currently work midnights because of being in school during the day....
