  1. new graduate LPN job .....help plzzzzzzzz

    kenyacka replied to Harpreetk1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Also, try volunteering. I know it's like a slap in the face, but sometimes rubbing elbows with the right people is what gets you

  2. How to answer this interview question....

    kenyacka replied to alby_dangle's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with the pp that stated not to ask questions. I'm only a CNA, but asking questions is what we are trained to do. ALWAYS ask questions. It's the only way to find out what's really going on....

  3. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    kenyacka replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    You're not going to be denied a job because you're fat lol. I worked for a company that did that, and believe it or not it was a wonderful thing. They are charging you more per paycheck because if you...

  4. Question about sending resume

    kenyacka replied to mo2rn's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of places where I am (LTC) will put online that they are not currently hiring. Yet, I know people that work there, and I know that there are several positions open. Some places prefer face to...

  5. Not hired if you smoke?

    kenyacka replied to havehope's topic in General Nursing

    It's not uncommon at all now. A few hospitals in Tennessee do nicotine tests, and I just moved to Kansas City and a few of them do as

  6. Just need to vent...

    kenyacka replied to chasingmydreams's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I wouldn't recommend just ignoring the text. If nothing else, you'll be worried about that during your time off. You said she asked if you can switch? Asking is not...

  7. Possible to pass CNA exams with this book and youtube videos?

    kenyacka replied to clubwestpua's topic in General Nursing

    Also... note to self... never let family put me in a nursing home in Florida

  8. Possible to pass CNA exams with this book and youtube videos?

    kenyacka replied to clubwestpua's topic in General Nursing

    Can you pass the test? Sure! Can you get a job?

  9. Does anyone LOVE Geriatrics?

    kenyacka replied to geekchic's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm in a CNA course right now. I went into it with every expectation of suffering through clinicals in LTC and then hoping to find a job in a hospital. 50 clinical hours later? I'm not so sure about...

  10. I want to call shenanigans!

    kenyacka replied to sweetsleep28's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she just wanted attention or it was just in her head. However, yes, just being in the presence of food can cause a reaction. My friend's daughter can't fly on most airlines because they...

  11. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    kenyacka replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is so much grumbling over the ADN/BSN debate. I've just come to the conclusion that it will make my life easier and save me a headache if I just go into the BSN program. Is it more expensive?...

  12. Will CNA experience in LTC help get a nursing job after graduation?

    kenyacka replied to kenyacka's topic in General Nursing

    I started thinking about how in my area, it's basically a requirement to be a CNA before you can get into nursing school. So, in reality it's not going to be that big of a leg up since all the new...

  13. Will CNA experience in LTC help get a nursing job after graduation?

    kenyacka posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all! I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right forum, so if it needs to be moved, let me know. I am finishing up my CNA course and I'm getting ready to start applying for jobs. I know that...

  14. How hard is it to get accepted to Penn Valley LPN program?

    kenyacka replied to amfloyd's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that's all that you need... just A&P. I've heard it isn't hard to get in at all... good

  15. Is it worth it taking out a loan for a CNA program certificate?

    kenyacka replied to mariposabella's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Where I am, there aren't many nursing homes that will train you because the state requires 75 classroom hours and 100 clinical hours. That's about what I paid for my course, and mine is one of the...

  16. Will CNA experience in LTC help get a nursing job after graduation?

    kenyacka replied to kenyacka's topic in General Nursing

    That's exciting! Good

  17. Will CNA experience in LTC help get a nursing job after graduation?

    kenyacka replied to kenyacka's topic in General Nursing

    I never in a million years thought that I would want to work in LTC. However, after doing all of my clinicals, I'm really thinking I might want to do it. I really enjoy getting to know them and their...

  18. Will CNA experience in LTC help get a nursing job after graduation?

    kenyacka replied to kenyacka's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! It obviously can't hurt in the job search. It's just so competitive out there, that I want every edge that I can

  19. Shhhh! ---It's all a crock!

    kenyacka replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but yeah... you need to shut up lol. I don't think anyone expects you to whisper a code... nor does spending tons of money to "inhance" your hospital seem necessary. However... walking down...

  20. After the Fall LTC/SNF Nursing Know-how 101

    kenyacka replied to Let's help out's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm in CNA training now, in Missouri. We are instructed to stay with the patient and call for a nurse. While we're waiting, we do assess the fall... nothing major, just see how they're laying, if...

  21. OB... L&D.... what's the difference???

    kenyacka replied to Sl1011's topic in Ob/Gyn

  22. Borders Books Liquidation Sale - Nursing Book Stock Up

    kenyacka replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Just an FYI... someone mentioned they went online and it wasn't any cheaper. Their website says in big bold print that only the stores are going out of business. The website will still be used. So,...

  23. Gah! So much judgement on all nurses.......

    kenyacka replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    I think this post is hilarious. It's turned into exactly what the OP stated.. a bunch of people looking for someone to argue with and correct. rofl. It's like if you tell a child "all you can say is...

  24. Credit checks and employment

    kenyacka replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    Most companies don't care about your credit unless you're actually handeling money or credit card info, etc. Even then, they don't always care. The only time I've been turned down for a job because of...

    kenyacka replied to HopefulRN59's topic in General Nursing

    The evening class always starts in odd years... sounds like it wasn't the school that was unorganized
