  1. How valuable is speaking Spanish in health care?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    The BSN program here offers Spanish for healthcare (I think you have to take beginners and intermediate first though). I'm taking Spanish right now, but I want to get the rosetta stone too. I would...

  2. Children's Hospital Summer Internship

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thanks..Good luck to you

  3. Children's Hospital Summer Internship

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I already go to Lawson. I'd much rather go to Jeff State, but it's just convenient, and they have all night classes and clinicals. The earliest I could get to class is 3:00, if it's about 15 minutes...

  4. Children's Hospital Summer Internship

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Alabama Nursing

    That's what I'm hoping too. I'm applying to Jeff St. and Lawson. I never took CNA, but I probably should have. The thing hurting me is not having enough experience. Once we get through our first...

  5. What to make of this?

    CNA2bRN13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I applied for a PCT position at a local hospital. I'm pre-nursing, and start nursing this fall. I was given the number of the recruiter by a nurse recruiter. I called the lady today, and we talked for...

  7. Lawson State/Jeff State Fall 2011 Hopefuls?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I talked to the Dean today, and she said that you have to fill out the regular nursing application, and then they will let you know if you can take the course based on your app. Then, you take the...

  8. ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    CNA2bRN13 replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so excited for everyone!!! I'm bummed mine is going to take so long! I'm finally starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel though. I can honestly say I am sick of pre-reqs. This...

  9. Lawson State/Jeff State Fall 2011 Hopefuls?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm going to try and go up there early today and find something out. I know it's a required course for the nursing program. They want the TEAS, but they don't offer it on campus. The way they told...

  10. ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    CNA2bRN13 replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, alot of people have already been accepted...my school is really slow. They haven't begun accepting applications yet. I have all of my pre-reqs done. I got all A's in the classes they look at;...

  11. What am I doing wrong?

    CNA2bRN13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    First off, I understand the job market is rough right now. However, we have at least 7 hospitals in the area where I live. Not to mention the smaller institutions. I plan to start nursing school...

  12. What am I doing wrong?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital that said they hire people after they finish their first clinical also has student nurse intern positions...lots of them. I'll talk to someone about it. I also went to a hospital's...

  13. What am I doing wrong?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I see everyone's point about going straight to BSN. I was trying to do the ADN first because I can get that at a much cheaper school. The four year university I have to go to for the BSN is alot...

  14. Is volunteering at the hospital the best way to get me a job upon graduation?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    I second the networking. A reference from an employee can help out alot. I'm in the same boat, but unfortunately, I can't even get a positition as a volunteer! I guess everyone around here got the...

  15. Why do nurses feel the need to put RN on their license plates?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to 3dayRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Took the words out of my mouth. I told my husband I want a decal for my car that's a teddy bear with a nurses hat. It's important that I do something for a living that I take pride in, and not just...

  16. Mobile Apps at work/clinicals

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I'll look into that. My school is the biggest ripoff on nursing books. You will pay 400 for a used book and they will try to buy it back for $10. They also change books all the time. Also, another...

  17. Are online degrees 'legit'? Such as RN-BSN online? Is BSN really necessary? CONFUSED.

    CNA2bRN13 replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    The school I plan to get my BSN at is UAB...they offer the classes online and you can complete it in whatever timeframe you want. It is designed for working RN's. I'm not sure if we would have to...

  18. Are YOU terrified to be a patient (and your loved ones, too!)

    CNA2bRN13 replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I worry, but I also have a fear of pain. I can watch surgery and needles going into people, but I can't watch a needle go into my own arm. I have heard stories about the pharmacy sending down...

  19. Mobile Apps at work/clinicals

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I hope my school is good with us using them. I have been debating getting an ipod touch. I have a laptop, but it is big and heavy and not very practical to use in class, with all of the books I have...

  20. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    CNA2bRN13 replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a bad experience with a male doctor, so I have used a female OB/GYN since then. I feel more comfortable with a female, personally. I was engaged when I went to a new doctor for a physical and...

  21. Conceiving in nursing school?

    CNA2bRN13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I plan to start nusing school in August. I'm hoping that I will get right in because I have the maximum amount of points allowed, minus about 4 points. For me, I didn't think the pre-nursing was...

  22. Conceiving in nursing school?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that was behind some of my reasoning for timing it that way...I would want some time to recover and get over all of the wonderful hormones before returning to work. I also don't want to go to...

  23. Conceiving in nursing school?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I was just wondering how many people have done it successully, or have the same experience. I haven't 100% made up my mind yet, just weighing it. I didn't know if it was a common thing either. In...

  24. Conceiving in nursing school?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I also have another factor playing into the decision. My family has a strong history of reproductive problems. I had 3 sisters, and one had to have a historectomy, one had several miscarriages, and...

  25. Conceiving in nursing school?

    CNA2bRN13 replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Well, after I get my ADN, I'm going to take a break for a few semesters and go back to be a NP. If I wait, then I will be pregnant with a full time nursing job AND in school. It seemed like the...
