    Taking an acute CNA course to network?

    CNA1991 replied to CNA1991's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's funny, because that was the thread I read right before I posted this....it's not really the same thing, but it throws out some good ideas. Plus, by the time I go to apply I will have some LTC...

    Only male in the CNA class; feeling awkward

    CNA1991 replied to somekindofstrange's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think you should. Think about it, are you there for them or for yourself? Even if you hate it, this class will not be very long and it will be very beneficial for you in the long run. I remember...

    Kaplan, Carrington, or Unitek?

    CNA1991 replied to CNA1991's topic in California Nursing

    actually, I went to unitek and talked with them after I poste this, you do have to do the vn before rn, and that's the irritating part because I would like to go straight into a RN program. Also, they...

    Who can challenge the NCLEX-PN?

    CNA1991 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have heard army medics/corpsman can challenge the NCLEX-PN, and MAs absolutely cannot challenge it, what about a RN student half-way through their program? Who all can challenge the NCLEX_PN?...

    Kaplan, Carrington, or Unitek?

    CNA1991 replied to CNA1991's topic in California Nursing

    Also, the reason I am taking a detour is because my CC is re-building their science center over one semester closing classes during that time and the other CC don't have any science classes that work...

    Oikos University - Oakland

    CNA1991 replied to cc2113's topic in California Nursing

    pretty much everyone has heard about the shooting at oikos, but that was a personal grudge between an individual and the admin at the school and should not be a reflection on the school (much like...

    How far away would you move for free nursing education?

    CNA1991 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Basically, there are two government run nursing programs that I could take at no cost to me but I was wondering if it would be worth it. One is a LVN program in my state but it is 400 miles away from...

    How far away would you move for free nursing education?

    CNA1991 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, it's not only my fiance that keeps me from going. I think you have to set up an appointment with jobcorps to see if they have space and I don't know how I would make it out there in the first...

    How should I go about following up on applications?

    CNA1991 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Usually, when I apply to jobs I call back later and ask for HR, but since most LTC/ALF in my area are too small to have an HR department, I usually have to talk the DON directly. Then, usually they...

    How far away would you move for free nursing education?

    CNA1991 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, that's right, it is a jobcorp thing. I heard rumors that they had an RN so I went scouting on the net and found this:Blue Ridge Job Corps: Academics. My main disgression against going is my...

    CNA1991 replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    If they agree they could have just liked your post or simply put "I agree". No need to waste words. I did not ask for a consensus, I asked for a person by person answer to see what they thought of my...

    CNA1991 replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    Maybe I was being nosey, but I find it hard to hear him say "ask me anything" and then hear him avoid my qeustions about ns. He seemed to be an open book on every other subject so I felt safe asking...
