So, update on what worked for you in the end? I'm a guy, but have the same problem. Either too short our too baggy. Or fitted for female nurses :-( Any ideas out there?

What if you are a single parent, or have dependants to take care off at home can't afford to spend an extra night before just available shift next day?

Sure, but any 'brand new' employee has to begin somewhere. years back as a CNA it took me 2-3 weeks to get 'comfy in my scrubs'. way past the orientation week. So guess what? the other CNAs have been very understanding, and picked up my misses and me...

---------- It's one thing that one or 2 people commented as they had about students being lazy. But to have folks, one after the other line up and say the same one-liner? sometimes twice?? really??? What happened to the 'Like' button? it stresses tha...

We live in times of stress, I get it. But even when students make new accounts just to ask stupid questions... Well, if they took the time to make an account maybe the question is not so stupid for THEM. Times have changed, and while way back I'd spe...

I'm in Michigan. I've applied to many! places, but just like you never heard from them. And although everyone is screaming about nurse shortage, the only nursing home that replied to my application and interviewed me was offering a night shift (they ...

Thank you for explaining the rationals behind the duty switches! This explains the OP's question really well and provides insight beyond the "it's ok, that happens sometimes" line.

This is awesome! Thank you for pointing out the good things those gals do for us, students! It's so easy to overlook these little things over our insecurities, programs' schedules, upcoming tests, homeworks and other running-arounds, and focus on the...

Awesome! great attitude, keep it up (and down with the distractions)!!! I haven't deleted my fb, I have too many pics on it that I want to be able to access from when ever I'm... Kinda like free storage. I only check in every 6 mos or so to update my...

Right!?! A day to school easily costs me 20 bucks! (that's $100/week in gas) And I'd be lucky if I had a choice of public transportation, even if a slow one... I'd at leastbe able to sleep/study on the bus/train... here I'm just stuck behind the whe...

eww... I mean, even besides the HAIs, wouldn't one worry about STDs???

Gosh! How do you study then? I'm 65 miles from my school, that's about 1 to 1:30 hours driving depending on traffic, and by the time I return home i'm feel like I've been through a washing machine cycle... Sometimes, before a test I'd stay in a libra...

As opposed to in degrees programs? What do u mean?

Talk face to face to some nurses who work. Ask them to inquire to their DONs or assist DONs. Some of them may know nurses that graduated from that school and give you a more balanced answer. And DO talk to the last level students! ask them about thei...

to be fair, there's too little info here to tell us whether mn-nurse's bulling or just giving a fair advice. it's hard to see with written messages what mood she's been while writing it. although my initial reaction was of a puzzlement at how stern i...

i wholly agree with you! it was like that when i was taking cna classes, and then i went on working for a nursing home with 8 rooms having 2-3 patients in each, in my care. and from what i've seen around, my case was a hopeful one!!! :) now i'm in lp...

you are asking about lpn registration, correct? -if you are still in the process of learning, some schools (tspn included) will allow you the possibility to take yr nclex pn in michigan, resulting in a michigan licence. -if you already have your oh...

Where are you driving from? use google maps, directions their address is 1530 North Superior Street Toledo, Ohio 43604 basically from telegraph and Eurika rd via I-75 it's about 45-55 min depending on your speed.

hello erica, as far as i know, they don't have a proper website. they are part of toledo public school system. there are several webpages out there that can help you find more info about them. - you need to call them, and ask the secretaries to send ...

You are right,the question remains. Maybe a group of professionals can file a complaint with the FTC to add more transparency to the industry's doings. Those shady practices ought to change! Because let's face it, filling in resumes online takes tedi...

Another reason that was recently voiced by a manager at our clinical site is that due to the mentioned above recession, many nurses who could have been retiring now, kept their positions some longer. That trend is due to several reasons they said. Ei...

Pretty, I'm there and we've just finished a quarter. Basically as far as classes go, have you taken the A&P and the Nutrition? If Mrs Moore (the one who did the most talking during the orientation - I know she was there coz she cut our clinicals ...

hey mijutrimae, you must have received your packet by now. tspn has changed about a year ago to a 1st come 1st serve format thereby creating a waiting list. a year-and-some ago, i had a choice of starting within 6 mos. from applying (though i chose ...

Hey Klb, From what I see around the school, there are plenty of students from Michigan. (In our class, only 2 of them are from Ohio!!!) :) So yeah, most of the people carpool, save for those who want to ride alone for specific reasons. We were able t...

~~ CPR HELP in Michigan ~~ HI, So what did you decide? Did you go with that $65 class? I also need to renew my certification (by the end of the month) I tried to check that Fire Department, but their classes are not for health care providers Best Re...
