Hey, I was reading some of the posts, and I remember my days as a CNA and the patient-load I had, yes after a while it did get easier, but I'm wondering how many patients you have at an LTC unit. I was reading another post where the lpn had almo...

Hey everyone, I'll be starting this quarter (two weeks, can't wait!!) to get my pre-reqs done for the lpn program. Unfortunately I won't even get in until NEXT fall:crying2:. But in the meantime I'll get the prereqs done and hopefully be able to ge...

Anyone heard of this place???? They are a travelling center. Every week or so they're in different cities and they have a 3 day course which costs about a buck 80. From what I see on their website, they travel around the deep south. Has anyone at...

They haven't talked much about what it actually means, as far as the semester switch. If I turn in my data sheet in March for entry to the lpn this fall, and it starts in August, will it still be one year, or will it now be a year and a half because...

I like Mrs. Seckinger pretty well. I took her for anatomy and intro to healthcare, which i'm in now. She's pretty straight forward and her tests are no joke. Wow 3.83? That means the majority of the people had 4.0's and a some had 3.7's...That's a...

I'm taking 4 classes right now...anatomy 1101, psych 1101, english 1101, and Med Term. Next quarter will be the same thing, four classes...math 1101, intro to health care, intro computers, nutrition and diet therapy. Except for intro the health car...

Youre right about that, when I watched the elections this year both Fayette and Jefferson were blue, and Lexington almost always has a blue mayor. I guess what I mean concerning something to do is that I'm referencing venues, events etc. Any city c...

Maybe I'm off on some "other" but I think some of you guys are missing the point. It's not about quitting and working somewhere else. I *think* she's saying that because of the schedule she works due to school, the feds only pay her a flat rate of...

from what i understand about nursing (I'm not a nurse, just a student), but from what i understand you'd be doing great to just get in where you fit in. A lot of nurses are having a hard time finding a job period, let alone some specialty. If I we...

Hey, all of u guys at PVAMU nursing program, i hope you post back and let us know how you like the school. A question, if you live in houston, how long does it take you to get to classes? I've heard houston's traffic is horrible and I know that pra...

lol graves...I would really like to move closer to home. When you live in Lexington, you either go to Louisville or Cincinnati for the "real stuff to do". I love to visit them, but I'm not sure if I want to live in them. Same thing where I am now,...

so glad i moved out of lex in 04!!! yeah!

You're absolutely right; HOWEVER, there is nothing wrong with life revolving around UK! Go Big Blue!!!! hahaha...That being said, you're absolutely right. Lexington is EXTRA lame. Here's the thing, if you're married with kids and/or not intereste...

Study Hacks The Straight-A Gospels: Pseudo-Work Does Not Equal Work I'm TELLING you!!! This works! The reason I suggested this to you is because it sounds like you put SOOOO much into studying it's no wonder you're burnt out. I too have a tende...

Someone said long ago that the way to study is to stare at material for hours on end. People say "i studied 5 hours straight" like that's awesome. In agreement to another poster, you should definitely study in moments. Study for a bit, then take a ...

Well, I tell you what, I'm southeast Ga (Savannah) and the lpns get paid pretty low here. It's crazy that southern IN and ky get paid pretty highly compared to GA when GA has a higher cost of living. Oh, I'm originally from Lexington, and I remember...

Where in kentucky? i'm from kentucky.

Right. I'm still in the LPN program and taking courses toward that program. My pre-reqs for the LPN will be over after the winter quarter, so when the spring quarter starts I may take the anat 1 and 2, chemistry, collg algebra etc. Hmm, I don't kn...

Hmm, I think I may apply to both Liberty and Savannah just to be on the safe-side. Well I'm in Anatomy (the lower one...i know i know), med term (online), psych (online) and english (online)...So far so good! And you're right, it is all about memor...

IDK about you but 18.87 sounds good to me! lol, especially without a lot of experience. I can't wait to be able to make that!

Wow, now that's just crazy. What's even worse if they don't approve OT. Wow, I could definitely see how that's frustrating. I don't know though, I don't know if I'd rather be a CNA, being a CNA is physically hard work, where I guess being a nurse ...

Really??? I called them a week ago and she said they don't transfer in to satisfy requirements, then two seconds later she said only the higher level courses transfer, so I was kind of confused and ended the call from there. I've noticed that tech ...

Hey, thanks for replying...you said u started out at the lpn program, have u finished yet? Yeah, I hope to get as many A's as possible. The class I'm really worried about is anatomy, I'm taking Seckinger. Do you know how many ppl were trying to get...

a med aide is a CNA with med certifications correct?

*your* education
