    Life Questions

    I probably should've posted this under the graduate nursing student info now that I think about
  2. This is my first semester too. We have 6 tests in 2 months and they cover about 20+ chapters each and then a cumulative final in December (we break for clinicals, thank God)...we don't get a study...

    Study Tips HELP!!

    I'm a first semester nursing student and I need help with some study tips. We have had 6 tests so far, and I thought I was doing well-made 83, 85, 91, 79, 92, and then 73! Anything below a 75 is...

    Hepatitis B Vaccine Question

    Yes, you are right. I shouldn't have said "negative". The number value was .48 and was inconsistent with immunity. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. I was just curious.
  6. I'm a nursing student and as you know it is required to have the Hep B vaccine before starting the clinicals. I got the series in '93 but still needed a titer. My results were negative. I was told by...

  9. Not that I think this chip thing will actually happen, but even if I were to entertain the idea that it will, it still doesn't go in line with Biblical prophecy. I grew up in a Christian household and...

    Working short

    I feel your pain! I work in the memory care unit with 16 residents. Usually there are suppose to be two aids in memory care at all times. However, I was told a few weeks ago that scheduling will...
  12. Usually in a PA program you will need a certain amount of hours in patient care before applying (at least from the ones I've looked into). I would then say go for the CNA program b/c it's cheaper and...
  13. Thanks all for the advice/comments!! I now know that I should've asked HR for that info to avoid putting her in an uncomfortable position. Lesson learned. Thanks again!
  14. So right now I work as a CNA at an Assisted Living Facility and I just applied to a local community college for their adn program. It's not guaranteed I will get in. If I don't, I might apply to the...
  15. I prefer 3rd! I am pretty nocturnal so it works best for me. You also don't have as many tasks to do (at least for me that was the case). You don't have to do showers or feeding. No higher ups are in...

    Calling a doctor question.

    I also agree with a full introduction even if the wife answers. I think it's more professional, plus it allows the wife to tell the husband who's calling so he can decide whether or not he wants to...
  17. From my experience it was easier going the ADN route. I have a BA in sociology so I still needed to take a lot of pre-reqs. I looked at several BSN programs as well as ABSN (which is accelerated) and...

    Men in OB/Peds Nursing....Any thoughts?....

    I wouldn't want any male being in the room either if I were delivering (or giving pap smear for that matter). I know there are several male nurses/doctors who would be fully capable of taking care of...

    This made me mad when I saw it.

    I graduated in 2009 with a BA in Sociology and have yet to find a job that pertains to my degree let alone find a job that pays $10/hour or more. I'm a CNA now and my facility pays me 8.50! LTC and AL...
  21. yeah I was told today that letters would be sent out 2nd week of June for GHC, but I hear they always delay beyond when they say they're going to. Hopefully we won't have to wait too
  22. My experience is purely LTC/Rehab so my spectrum may be limited but to Cul2: to my understanding you keep mentioning the fact that it would not be considered appropriate or acceptable to society if a...

    Still no job

    When I first got my certification I applied online all the time to every facility...no answer. Then I decided to apply in person at some local facilities. Applied to 5 places total in person and 4 of...

    Nursing career dilemma

    I tried posting this in the CNA forum but didn't get any responses so I decided to try here instead. I graduated from college with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Criminal Justice in 2009. I...
  25. Ok maybe I'm being over dramatic, but let me explain. I graduated from college with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Criminal Justice in 2009. I knew when I graduated I didn't want to teach or be...
