virgo,student nurse CNA

It has been a crazy 5 months, I have had all different kinds of emotions with going to school. I have wanted to quit, and walk away. But I have had amazing support, from friends, family, and my instructors. I am so happy that I was able to refocus an...

I just wanted say, I am so glad spring break is here. School has been wonderful and I am so appreciative of the opportunity to attend school. But, we have gone through basic fundamentals to A and P a total of 6 units in 3 months. I am just glad to ha...

My job has the same policy, if you volunteer to work extra shifts, you can back out at any time without any discipline. You can also take the full shift, or half the shift depending on what the supervisor is offering. I don't work for the private sec...

Umm, no. We were told to wear regular clothes so we don't upset the patients, with all the white uniforms coming through the unit, for psych. Any other rotation we wear white uniforms.

Hi, Howard.The area you are looking to move to needs nurses. I know a lot of new grads have migrated up that way and been successful in getting a job. I am unsure how long distance job searching works, but I would be sure to have a definite job offer...

Yes, I am liking Fundamentals. Some of the beginning stuff is boring, but really not bad. It is going quickly. Clinical skills every Thurs and Fri, until we physically go into the nursing home. I am really enjoying it. Best wishes to everyone who is ...

No, I don't enjoy working as a CNA. This is why I have another full time Job, that I work at and get great Benefits, and retirement. I do know some people who love Their job. That is great for them. Me, I just can't do it full time.

Hi Doll. My first week is over too. We had lecture, CNA skills, a test on the first two chapters, journal articles due on Monday, test on Tues. Clinical rotations start in a month. But it wasn't bad, I enjoyed every minute of it.

Happy New Year to You Too!

:yeah:congratulations. Best wishes

Congratulations. Do what you need to do to succeed. Many good wishes.

Not in the lobby, but the bathroom. We had a serious problem at this one nursing home I worked at. If you sprinkle when you tinkle, Please be neat and wipe the seat. It actually helped for a while.

I say get the BSN,and try different things. Travel may be wonderful. Hospital nursing sucks,JMO! Whatever you choose must be right for you. Best of luck.

I am sorry, you went through something so terrible. I also have anxiety but I can assure you it does get better. I have found that going to a therapist has helped, I had to get out the issue and try to notice what my personal triggers are. I hope you...

Talk to the Program Coordinator of the program, depending on the version of the Teas you may be able to just take the math. I was able to for version 4, but would up taking the entire thing over because my application was on file for a year. I neede...

Yes, I find if I do math problems everyday in small doses (5) a day, I retain the formula, the conversion, and how to do the same problem with different circumstances, I still watch my talk shows, go to the gym, and read. But I know math is my weakne...

I'm sorry. That's terrible.

I am praying for nothing but healthiness. We have to pay $100.00 dollars to make up a 6 hour clinical day. Not really worth it.

I am in the same boat, I have a Mandatory week of orientation in two weeks, I hope to get my books by them so I can start to read them. I guess it's a wait game right now, I do math problems, at least 5 a day because that is my weakness. Good luck ...

Never Ending

You said it so well.

Amen!

Well, I would say it all depends. You will have lecture a couple of times a week, notes to take, chapters to read before lecture. Tests, vocabulary you need to know. Clinical a certain number of times a week. Possibly clinical homework, lab hours, th...

I am so sorry, sounds like it was for the best, I never want anyone to be without a job but what a -------, way of firing you. Best of luck in your job search.

Yes, the program is accredited. Are you trying for Jan or Sept.? Yes, there is a bus but most of the time it goes past where you want to go, then comes back around. They have a bus schedule online that you can review,but I know the bus doesn't run 2...
