Hi studentinnursing! I am so sorry to hear about your troubles! Although I completely understand them. I also had to switch from nursing altogether to accounting for the same reason (moved away from family and therefore moneywise can't afford childca...

Oh thank goodness! LOL Coz your post was SO quick after mine I was like noooooooo I am not talking about Hondros! LOL Sorry. I have to say my FAV thing right now about Hondros is the uniforms. I like that they are never white (I cant keep white clean...

Delila I think you misread me. I wasn't talking about Hondros nclex or cost etc. I was talking about the schools I was checking out in Chicago while I was there. I am moving back to Cinci to RETURN to Hondros.

Hi Andrew! I am wondering if you are the Andrew from my class maybe. (I was only in for one quarter and planning to start back in April) I had a little problem with a skills test then couldnt go back for a while we moved to Chicago. But I am moving b...

NewRNMI I was just wondering if you have received any word from your supervisor? I'm rooting for you! Also have you thought anymore about switching to a hospital position?

I don't think you are alone in this feeling. It can be scary. My first set of clinicals was scary and I was doubting my nursing capabilities and whether or not I liked it. But you should realize that nursing has such a broad spectrum. You won't like ...

Speaking from experience, DO as much as you can now. I am a mom, of a five year old, got pregnant my senior year of HS. I thought it would be best to only go PT, then after he was born I went PT a little while, couldn't stand missing so much of his t...

This you will need to check with your health care provider. When I had mine done my school provided a form listing each titer individually and my provider had to sign off of each one that the test was done and the results. When you schedule your appo...

If it was a controlled substance then yea, I can see the big no no here. I don't think you need to worry about losing your license though. I have seen disciplinary actions for much worse and the persons were able to keep their license and keep practi...

I second extended care idea! Or I am not sure how hard it would to be to do this as a sort of new grad, but you could be adventurous and try travel nursing taking positions in different areas to see what you like. Or try shadowing a day without pay f...

Glad I read this, I needed a giggle! Thanks guys n gals! LOLLLLL the Q word!!!!

Ouch! I currently live in Chicago..I am not sure how much they make here. However, when I was living in Cincinnati CNA's avg $9-10 while PCT started at least $12 but usually $13-$14 range (hospital figures). As a previous poster states ER pays more, ...

Congratulations! I hope everything is going smoothly! And I am so proud of you that you are also going to be working on your BSN while working on your RN that is so smart! I wish you the best of luck :)

Hi, I am looking for CNA classes now as well and I just found this. It is from the IDPH website, a list of all Approved CNA training programs in IL. (unfortunately it doesn't say how much they are, but it tells you where they are and phone number). ...

I love this site! Everyone here is supportive and has great advice and experience to the table. To EVERYONE on this site that contributes and helps, thank you! I feel so much better about my decision to be a nurse, and much better prepared! And Maria...

I know this response is way late but maybe it will help someone. ? I was searching for a work from home MT position I found a few sites that have a variety of work at home options health care related. Good luck! *I havent done all due diligence resea...

Hi guys, Sorry for the second post in the same day but since its Saturday I have been doing a lot (too much?) research today LOL. And I found this other older thread on MVCC Any Moraine Valley People Out There? - Nursing for Nurses Saying it is so c...

I love the metaphor, and thanks it was a nice pick me up after the bedtime story had me crying like a baby! I can't wait to get back into nursing school now!! Much love!!!!!

Hi Kristina! Did you decide to try Chamberlain? Just curious, I am trying to get into MVCC for my RN but I am checking up on all the nursing programs in the area just incase. If you do go, please keep us updated on your experience! Much Love :heartbe...

Hi everyone!!! Thanks Shelly for the advice on A&P! I am really happy that MVCC revamped the program so we don't have to do as many pre-reqs! I don't know about the out-of-district, we moved in-district. I really want to get into MVCC but I have ...

smiless "anyone knows whether the ASN in Ohio accepts students from out of state or only from ohio? And has anyone taken the ASN online program before, what's it like? thanks" not sure...but if you were planning a move to ohio just for chamberlains...
