How long is a long time? If it's great in your eyes, why don't people want to work there for a ‘long time'? Ask not yourself, but the nursing staff. I refuse to stay working at a place with constant short staffing. The workplace can start there at...

The patients.

You should work before and during nursing school. I'm in school now, and work as an Lpn just on weekends. For the experience, pay my bills etc......but if you're a CNA, and becoming a new nurse, you want somewhere to be before you graduate. This puts...

The guilt trip doesn't work for me any more. When it's anyone in nursing I turn it around and ask them what theyre doing at that time cuz most of the time, they don't work the floor much. They need to learn...

This is the perfect example of why the mandatory every other weekend schedule and every other holiday works (then the holidays rotate each year so that makes it fair) question: why would somebody who's been there longer than you not get the option t...

I must say that when it comes to smoking, it's really annoying. If a smoker can have 12 smoke breaks a shift, then so should I... to run to Burger King for fresh fries;). And so if we were all smokers, how much work would get done? This occurs fre...

In the past I've found it a bit draining, on top of my regular list of things to do in a shift. I'm naturally an introvert, but work has opened me up for the better of the team. But I feel like I must greet patients and their families at least. This ...

I started my first nursing job at 25. Before that I quit my CNA of about 2 years for nursing school. Before my CNA job (and a little bit while I worked the CA job), I was working retail in the mall, which was fun because I'm a shop a holic.

First off, it is basic math. Im terrible at taking tests AND I'm not so hot in math. But I do the calculations just fine when I'm on the floor. It's about the pressure. Some people are just bad test takers. Secondly, LIFE happens. You really dont kn...

12 or 16 hours on the weekends better. You want that time after school to study and do homework.

Did you go to this campus? or are you still attending? How is the faculty?

I def. Would have said something. I'm a quiet one but I wait my turn to speak (when one of the big people pulls me to the side). My administration hated me for this reason.

Right now, I cant wait until the Real Housewives of New Jersey comes back.

I last bought an MDF and it works just as great as my Littman. plus the colors are stylish... mine is all black everything.

Bring an extra pair of comfortable shoes. Sleep at least 5 hrs before work. Bring coffee.... I like the Starbucks frapp in the glass bottle. Some people say Mountain Dew is really good.... if you drink soda.

Is there really a way that youre going to show up at a school, jump all these students on the list who have worked hard, to get the prereqs done, scored high on the entry exams etc. and qualify for the program (just like you did ofcourse), and expec...

I didnt even read the whole article..... but no youre not too young for it. This is not true, thats their opinion... notice; they said 'they should'. And thats because they're jealous. Jealous that their life situations didnt get them into this...

I would think that it would be nice to get report and count over with so you can be free to do whatever else you want or need to do. Thats ridiculous. I'd get the DON since you cant touch the count until count. I'd also get the DON and start asking...

I'd have to agree. Its about the higher people telling you to punch out and get the work done on time no matter what.... Well, the stress level goes high when you have a re-admit at 2:30, and a fall at 2:45.... plus the everyday paperwork to do. Wh...

YES. I do see these things happen. More falls, more elopements, more combative behavior, wandering at night & sleeping during the day...etc. W/ the coworkers, I just think its a reaction to the patients.

I'm 'young' and I had a rolling backpack (that I wouldnt dare put on my back) every single day going to class. I'd say you cant depend on somebody else for anything that comes to school. What if they dont come to class one day, or (insert excuse/re...

The fact that you have no job as a nurse should tell you......... I'm hearing its even worse than when I graduated.... to find a nursing job. Why not get your foot in the door somewhere as a CNA......

If youre talking about CNA class, yes I did. We had to do most of the skills on eachother to know how it is from the pt/residents position. Actually, the worst one for me was transfers and we had to get into the hoyer sling and be swung around ...it...

Well, that situation going to force a change.

I passed in Oct. and got a job the next April. A good 6 Months.... Im still there now, and ready to get experience somewhere else.
