I am in the day class of 2012..say what you will, despite of how we feel about an instructor persoanlly because of school, there isn't a single instructor there I wouldn't trust my loved ones with..they are the best in what they do, I believe. I look...

I have always bought my books on EBay, but our instructors have put heavy emphisis on the most recent editions, so we have to buy the newest ones, and those can still be pricey even on half.com and EBay. At my CC,if we have financial aid coming thro...

I have been an Activities Leader in the past, but am currently a CNA...I have never gone on an appointment with a resident as an Activities Leader, but have escorted them to procedures, like xrays, MRI"s and such as a CNA in a LTC setting. However, w...

Try NB 811 walking shoes..they have a roll bar suitable for pronation/supination if you have those issues, and provide stabilty and comfort even if you don't. I love mine, and I'm glad I made the investment. My instructors even comment on them!:redpi...

I find that peroxide removes blood stains very nicely without hurting the quality/integrity of the uniform material like some bleaches do. And it doesn't cause colors to fade: you can use it on the darkest scrubs you have, and no "oopsie" marks!!

Just Nursing Fundamentals, and Pilates...need to keep the imact of stress down somehow LOL:lol2:

I agree with Jessy. If this organization is this unprofessional, then they have done you a service/favor; why would you want to work for them? You can only imagine how difficult it must be to work with "professionals" who behave this way. This is not...

Johny 24, there is certainly a great need for male nurses out there, so don't let misconceptions that may lead you to believe otherwise..follow your heart/ dreams, and you'll never have regrets!:redpinkhe
