  1. cn to rn ?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to kanathaya's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You'll need to research schools that offer a nursing degree/diploma program. Is there a community college near you that offers an RN program? Any hospitals with schools affiliated with them?...

  2. Starting CNA class soon...supplies needed?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Ikesmama's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't need anything other than the textbook and a pen. I need scrubs when clinicals start in November. I can't imagine needing anything

  4. I should have become a teacher!!!!

    RunnerRN2015 replied to NayD_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Our district laid off 500 teachers over the summer; they're probably thinking "I should have gone into nursing!". I've been a teacher for 20 years...believe me, it's not easy. Unprepared kids,...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to abouttofly's topic in Disaster Preparation

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Jlsmithh's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So far, we've been working in pairs or small groups. The instructor comes around and validates our skill(s) while we're in small groups or she validates the entire class at the same

  9. The cna payscale is an insult, to all we do!!!!

    RunnerRN2015 replied to CNA/glorified maid's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My 20 year old son makes $8.25 as a cashier at the local grocery store. Sad that he'll probably be making more than me when I finish my CNA course! I'm currently earning $16-20/hour (preschool...

  10. CNA while working on RN. Good idea???

    RunnerRN2015 replied to joshsmother's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I asked the admissions rep if she could tell me where I am on the wait list and she said they don't like to give that information out but she did say that they are offering spots to several alternates...

  11. baby friendly questions

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Rhee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    After my second son was born via c-section (not an easy delivery--I had a horrible reaction to the epidural, he had fluid in his lungs and needed time in the NICU) the nurse brought him to room in...

  12. Wait List Advice (first in line)

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Dchar's topic in General Students

    I think I'll send her a message and ask her. I'd like to know if I'm #1....or

  13. titers/ immunizations update

    RunnerRN2015 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I went to the doctor last week for immunizations for school. Since I had no records, I wasn't sure if she'd do titers first to check immunity, go ahead and give me shots, etc. Well......I received the...

  14. TB chest xray, how often to get the chest xray?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Animaniacs's topic in General Students

    I had a positive PPD in the early 90s, took INH for 6 months, and have had to do chest x-rays ever since. For teaching, depending on the school/district, I had to have a chest x-ray either every 2...

  15. Wait List Advice (first in line)

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Dchar's topic in General Students

    How did you find out that you are first on the list? I was waitlisted for spring 2012 and I have NO IDEA where I am in line. Would it be inappropriate of me to ask the admissions counselor who has...

  16. TB RESULT HELLPPPP!!!

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Nato408's topic in General Nursing

    I've lived in the U.S. my whole life and I tested positive 20+ years ago. I had to take INH for 6 months and have had to have an xray done whenever I needed proof of a negative TB screen, usually...

  17. titers/ immunizations update

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had any vaccines for 35+ years so boosters would make

  18. titers/ immunizations update

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Nursing

    The last time I was vaccinated for anything would have been 35+ years ago so I guess boosters were in order

  19. titers/ immunizations update

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea why she didn't do the titers FIRST and then call me if I need to come in. Oh well...there's no question that I am immune now!

  20. Nursing with fibroids

    RunnerRN2015 replied to EMcGrady's topic in General Nursing

    I've researched the BC pill that I take and I don't have any of the risk factors: I'm under 50, I'm not obese, I don't smoke, I don't have family history for any of the risk factors, I don't have high...

  21. Nursing with fibroids

    RunnerRN2015 replied to EMcGrady's topic in General Nursing

    I was concerned about taking them non-stop but she told me that it's a very common thing to do for women in my situation (perimenopausal/heavy bleeding with clots). I'm on the second-to-lowest dose...

  22. Nursing with fibroids

    RunnerRN2015 replied to EMcGrady's topic in General Nursing

    My periods had gotten so heavy with clots that I would literally spend an entire day in the bathroom--no tampon could contain it! It was a nightmare. I'm a teacher so there is no leaving the classroom...

  23. how are you paying

    RunnerRN2015 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    We don't qualify for any funding since my husband's salary is too high. FAFSA just laughed when we applied for aid. Last year my older son was away at school (in-state tuition, thank goodness!) and we...

  24. CNA while working on RN. Good idea???

    RunnerRN2015 replied to joshsmother's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm also starting my CNA class in 2 weeks. My plan is to finish in December (I'm only going on Wednesdays so I can continue working until I finish--my current job pays double what a CNA makes) and...

  25. Does this job sound like a scam?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to glenlorie's topic in General Nursing

    SCAM! He/she will have all of your basic information PLUS there is now a check involved if he "pays" you upfront to purchase supplies and help secure housing. PLEASE don't offer ANY personal...
