Hi! I got an interview! I'm so elated since I've been "stalking" nursing managers for a while now. I am currently using a book that reviews interviewing skills. I have also set up a mock interview with my school's career services office. I am wonderi...

Can you chart as you take your vitals? I am a pct on a med-surg/ortho floor and that's what I do when a computer is accessible. I just take it room to room. Others just have their clipboard or piece of paper(that's what I use. I can't keep up with a ...

I'm a stutterer too but not severe since I got some therapy in elementray school. Still, I think speaking slowly and focusing on what you are saying than how you say it helps. I pray that you feel better. I know people can be cruel and stuttering ca...

What I don't get is when facilities want to reuse towels and washclothes that are saturated in feces/blood/whatever bodily fluid. You can't wash everything out and even if you could, that's just yucky. I dump out heavily soiled linen even though it's...

do we work at the same place?lol. because they did the same thing at my job today too...

we got umbrellas. I put my initials on it, but someone still stole it.

I'm confused. I thought you have to have at least a BSN/ADN to work at the bedside.

Very inspiring, CheesePotato.

Don't put your face too close to a patient because when they cough and sneeze, most times they don't cover their mouth!!!!

Yea, at my job, only a few of the dietary staff helps set the patient's tray up. They usually just put the tray in there and leave. One of the houskeeping staff actually offered to help me pull up a patient. A radiology tech helped me clean up a pati...

I got accepted too! I had found out at work when I was checking my email! I plan to go there.

I got accepted to Clayton, but I am waiting on KSU so I can make my decision. I don't know which one to pick if I get into both. They are both around the same distance from me. Gtqueen371, are most of the nursing students working at night, since you...

Georgia:starts at $10 in the hospitals.

Yall got me sorta excited. I start in Fall.

yay, I'm in too!

JeannePCT, are you a PCT and if so, where at?

When you say that you want to take the test without taking a class, that means you want to challenge the exam. I don't think you can do that here in GA because in order to register for the test your cna school has to send a certificate to the GA Heal...

nicky25, that's a reasonable price for a CNA school, unless times have changed. That's actually the cheapest. That's how much mine had cost but I took mine a year ago. The CNA test is always $107.

The list of questions definitely helped me. They ask some general questions before going to questions that are directly related to nursing(they call them core competencies). I wasn't surprised by any question.

They said 3-4 weeks.

I just had my interview. I think it went well. They do go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable.

I agree. We can't please everyone.

I got accepted into the Carrolton campus, but the distance is making me not want to go there. I am waiting on KSU and CSU decisions.

setting the clock at least 10 minutes fast helps.

I got an interview. Congrats to everyone who did as well.
