Hello All, I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on mount saint marys college, I will be looking into going from LPN to BSN. Has anyone ever done it with this school? If so how was your experience, and approx. how long did it take you to...

I am not sure what State you are in, but we MUST get clients up, and offer them a meal on the weekend., unless it it is clearly written in their plan to allow them to sleep all day, and that they don't want to eat, with that being said, I DO NOT work...

Joe, I think you should do, what ever makes you happy. I personally don't know what the "official" job description is. Sometimes people have nothing else better to do, than complain/ or try to discourage others. I think you will be fine.Good Luck,Vir...

I live in NYS, and I work for NYS. I am also a per diem CNA for this reason. CNAS can get mandated if you work full or part time, this goes for the nursing home. I also run a house for 10 clients and 10 staff. I directly supervise an LPN who CANNOT b...

I think the site has changed for the better. This site allows people to vent and Connect, but rudeness and other behaviors aren't tolerated. I like that, sometimes I have a hard time logging in, but issue isvalways taken carevof in a timely manner. K...

I get the feeling that you are the oldest /only child. I am the oldest child in my family, and it sucks, In my thoughts. Family can put so much pressure on the oldest that you feel no matter what you do, it is not going to be enough.I think you need ...

I don't think I have a favorite part of school. I enjoyed learning about the body and how it works, I enjoyed clinincal, Yes I had bad days but it was a nice experience. My clinical instructors were great, answered any of the questions you may have h...

I did not read through all the posts, so please forgive if I have repeated what someone has already said. I have seen on tests stuff we never go over in class, but I have learned to read the entire chapter/chapters that we are going to be tested on. ...

Thank you for the information. I will pass this onto my friend who is in her RN program, she was going to ask the same question. We are here in NY, maybe this is why there was no information.

You can never allow your CNA'S or techs to see you sweat, don't ever feel you are less than a nurse, because you are having issues with your Aides. What I found has worked for me is to go in with the aide and help them with my patients as much as I c...

Interesting! I have seen some of these stories on Deadly Women, Snapped, and other shows. It is amazing to me why people do things.

I am going to admit, I am not in my core nursing courses. BUT, I did go to LPN school and for the first half of the year, we did a lot of direct care. I don't think you have a bad attitude, nursing school has high standards, and it has always been th...

Commuter, AMEN! AMEN! You have hit the nail on the head, yet again. Sometimes I think you are in my head, saying and feeling the way I feel. I so dont like small talk, and would rather have conversation with my DD cleints, than speak to the staff. I...

Do Good,Very good advice given. Hope all stay safe. The storm will be my way by Monday Mid Day. Stay Safe!

In my class, we started with 50 people, and there are 15 people graduating in two months.

You don't have to tell anyone, anything that you are not comfortable with. If you want to keep the situation to yourself, then do so. If your job is paying for school, you do have that obligation to tell them. But sometimes it, is best to keep things...

I agree with all the other posters. If you feel this is what you want to do, then NO one can take it away from you. The comment could have been made for many reasons, ignore it, and other comments that may come.You have to make your haters your motiv...

I agree with all of the posters. But I am going to add, if you can record the lectures. It helps because you are able to hear something you missed earlier. Also, stay on top of your reading! You should be reading what the lecture for class is going t...

Thank you Commuter. A really good reminder. I was just having these thoughts, reading the other day. Kudos.

Commuter, Thank you for posting this story, It goes to show how hard work and determination can change ANY situation. It makes me feel good to know that it gets hard, but it is worth fighting for

I got a note from the school, I was attending and faxed it over to the clerks office. I haven't received any thing from the court since.I hope everything works out for you. Best of luck in school.

It's called being a hater! When you decide to do something better for yourself, sometimes you get resentment from people. Maybe they wish they were in your position, maybe they aren't happy with themselves. Sometimes you have to leave some people be...

I drive 20 minutes to school. When I was in the LPN program my drive was about 35-40 minutes

Congratulations.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into mount saint marys in newburgh ny. I am interested in knowing how you found the program, what were some of your frustrations (if any) and how long it took you to complete the porogram, full or ...
