can'tdecide

I'm so undecided. I signed up at my college for the Radiology program. After talking to several of my friends that are nurses, I decided against it. They convinced me that there are not any jobs for radologist. I then decided maybe I would try t...

This line of work fascinates me. I am 40 years old and just starting college.( I waited until my youngest started high school ) I'm doing my pre-reqs now for nursing. What steps do I take to get into this line of work? I'm wanting to be a nursing...

Sorry, my computer was down, and I just made it back to check the message board. Here is a link to their next class starting. http://labette.edu/commserv/coursedesc/Summer%2011/C_N_A_Morris.pdf and I was wrong, we have 45 hours of clinicals, not 6...

Hello everyone This is my first post and I came here because I am sure all of my friends are tired of listening to me talk about school. Here's my story. I'm 41 and have 2 kids ages 14 and 16. Always had a great job but since the economy took a tur...

I start CNA class next Monday. The only things on the list were scrubs and TB test. I asked the lady enrolling if we needed a stethoscope and she said she didn't think so. Is this something we are going to need? If so where do you buy them and ho...

I'm taking my CNA class online. It starts Monday. All class time is online, but we do have clinicals that we have to go to, I think clinicals are 64 hours.

I have been looking at jobs on the hospital website. Every job for CNAs reads.... Basic Life Support required. CPI certification preferred. Is this something I will learn in CNA class or will I have to take other classes to get certification for CPI...

Yes I am. I'm friends with several nurses, respiratory therapist and CNAs at our local hospital (we live in a small town) HR told me to come in and fill out an application as soon as I pass my class. They said they would pay me $11.96 starting out...

Ok, I realize I'm not going to need one for class, but is this something I'm going to need if I get a job in a hospital? I'm not really sure what CNA's learn but I thought one of them was checking Blood pressure. And if I don't learn it in my CNA c...

I'm taking English Comp 1 and Psyc. Haven't signed up yet but after reading the post about all the papers that will be due, I might change my mind.

Check with the nursing program you are wanting to attend. The nursing program I am trying to get into requires that you have a CNA license first.

I have several colleges in my area to pick from including 1 university that has a great nursing program. I went to check to see if I could get any help with the cost. I was turned down, even though I was laid off from my job last year, we still mad...

Congrats!!! I can't wait for the day to get her that I get accepted into Nursing School!

here is the thread... http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=3074351

This was just discussed on another message board I visit. One gift suggested was to get her a "girls day out". Pick her up take her shopping, go to lunch and go get a pedicure or massage. They said she would be stressed, on her feet a lot and this wo...

I think you could get a job of CNA just about anywhere you wanted. I know a few that work in nursing homes and I have a friend that started working in a hospital as soon as she finished the course. They told me the places around here are begging fo...

I'm so undecided too. Everyone I have talked to has told me they knew from the time they were little that they wanted to be a nurse. I sat down at the computer one day, looking to see what programs my school offered, and picked nursing. (That was j...

I do not know. I'm thinking it is going to be a lot of running to get the patient things, turning them, helping them to the bathroom, baths. Things the nurses are too busy to do. A lot of work, but will get to watch the nurses and see what excatly...

This is so true. Even if my school did not require it, I would still sign up. I am so undecided on what I want to do with my life (yeah, I'm 41 and still don't know what I want ) I think I want the nursing program, but really worried that after I ...

Just checked, the only thing required for the class is a TB test and $$$.

I'm from Missouri and yes you HAVE to have your CNA license and it has to be kept current to get into the nursing program.

I am happy for a postive post too. I'm not sure if I want to be an RN. I come to these boards to learn about a job before I put the next several years of my life into it plus spend $$$$. Just when I think RN is the job for me, I leave these boards...

This is my fear too. I am 41 years old and just starting school this summer. I'm so scared that I am going to take a bunch of classes to get into the nursing progam and then hate it. I decided to sign up for the CNA program. It is an 8 week cour...

Sorry, can't help...just wanted to tell you that is how it is at my school also. Just this morning I called to see about applying to the nursing program. I asked a couple of questions and every single answer was " couldn't tell you", "don't know". ...
