I live in Arizona and it's one of the lowest paying states and a CNA makes about $8.50-12.00/hr here, so yes I think you're getting paid very low. I have a friend who works for Kindred hosptial which is mainly where they are weaning pt's off of vent...

ok, I couldn't hold back when I saw this comment... Are you kidding? He's taken us to war for no reason and over 1,500 of our soldiers have died because of it!! That is more than enough reason to be ashamed - HELLO!!! I too was blinded by Bush an...

One of my best friends when I was growing up was named Amparo - I've never met or heard of anyone else with the name.

Yes, you said it, so many people were blinded by Bush including myself! I've really started to educate myself on what's really going on in the world specifically the war in Iraq. I have come to find out that Bush has taken us to a war for no reason ...

I'm very sorry for your familys' loss. I honestly don't think that the doctor would say that it wasn't a match just to spare the mothers' feelings. Also, I don't think that telling the mother about her drug use will do anything except make things wo...

How about a Nursing Instructor at a college or even in a hospital setting? They say there is a shortage of nurses and that there are plenty of people that want to go into nursing, but not enough Nursing Instructors.

I admit it was a sarcastic remark, but give me a break...I think you're taking it a little far with murder, graft (I think you meant graffiti) and the Mafia. Why not legalize it, tax it and regulate it? Because whether it's legal or not "We'd sti...

I think in your situation that it would be a good idea for you to go to school for the LVN and then transition to RN when your hubby gets back. I have a friend who has been an LVN for about 1 year and is making $24/hr..I wouldn't consider that 'crap'...

Legalize it On a positive note...hey, it would put drug dealers out of business and oh, what a shame that would be that they would have to get a real job like the rest of America!

This is the speciality I want to go into and I wanted to ask you what your typical daily routine is in the NICU? I love babies so much and they are so innocent and beautiful precious little angels! Something I keep thinking about is what my emotion...

Fun for a giggle...This only takes a minute. Sometimes when you have a stressful day or week, you need some silliness to break up the day. And, if we are honest, we have a lot more stressful days than not. Here is your dose of humour...Follow the ins...

sparkyRN Thank you for all the detail you provided. It was very helpful in understanding what it's like in the NICU. I like how you refer to them as 'your babies' :) I can tell you're a wonderful nurse! Thanks again!

I just finished the first semester of the ADN program and the hours of this program allowed me to still work full time and my employer was kind enough to allow me the flexibility, however, the hours next semester aren't going to work for me and I wil...

Not only are you entitled your PTO, but since you gave your 2-week notice and she decided to let you go on the spot, you are also entitled to the 2-weeks notice pay!! This is a law and I just recently quit my job with a 2-week notice and they let me...

I just thought I would mention something that I recently learned about giving your 2-week notice. If you give your employer your 2-week notice and they decide to let you go on the spot, by law, you are entitled to the 2-week notice pay PLUS any un-u...

I just recently found out that if you put in your 2-week notice and your employer tells you to just leave, then by law they have to pay you for your 2-week notice. Interesting, huh?

I believe in Fate. I grew up not knowing what I wanted to be except I knew I wanted to be a mom and have children since I was about 10 yrs old. My mother wanted me to go into the military and become a pilot. I can't even stand to be on a plane wit...

My mom told me that cleaning for her is a great form of therapy. She told me that when her and my dad divorced that she was really depressed and instead of sitting around being upset, that she started cleaning and it really kept her mind off of him ...

The school I'm going to is only $10,000 and and is 11 months. There is a 2+ year waiting list to get into the RN program, so I figured I'd take the LPN/LVN route and then transition into the RN program for the last 2 semesters.

My dad is 1 of 10 children. I think there are over 30 grandchildren!

I'm still in school, but I took the CNA course and did our lab work at a LTC facility. The main duties would include; feeding, bathing, changing their briefs or helping them to the bathroom. The basics of ADL.

I had a friend in high school whose aunt named her baby "Misty Dawn".

I'm also in nursing school and I don't fit in with anyone either, but I'm not there to make friends, I'm there to go to school and learn, but I know it can feel odd at times. That part doesn't bother me because I could care less what anyone else thi...

I took my CNA class at a community college and it only cost me a little over $100 dollars. I also had the same thought of being a CNA so it could allow me the flexibility to go to nursing school. It is a low paying job, but some places will pay a l...
