    Central Indiana Nursing jobs without RN experience?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Thanks for your help. I'm going for my ASN, and I don't know many people in the area. I think I'll work here for a year or move to an area with more job opportunities for new

    Anyone make into nursing school with a B or C in A&P I

    WannaBNursey replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    B in A&P1, C in A&P2, and a C in Stats. The rest of my pre-req's were mostly A's. I had really high test scores, but I was still beyond surprised that I got into the

    Was I at fault? the nurse embarrassed me in front of others.

    WannaBNursey replied to crunchytaco's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This kind of thing happened to me enough times that I left my previous LTC facility. I usually try to be humble and I would have said "Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate that you cleaned up the...

    Leaving the state after finishing nursing school

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in General Students

    I plan on leaving Florida to go back to my birthplace in the midwest after I graduate. I'd like to just graduate from school, take the NCLEX and move. I was wondering if anybody knew what sort of...

    Leaving the state after finishing nursing school

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in General Students

    So would it be better then to get licensed in Florida and transfer that license to Indiana right after I get it? I'm just looking for what would be easiest. Thanks for the help so far! Keep it

    Family's responsiblity of taking care of older parents?

    WannaBNursey replied to micstn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It seems like this is the expectation in our White American culture overall. Most elderly don't want to be a burden. My grandmother always says she doesn't want to be tolerated but celebrated, but you...

    Family's responsiblity of taking care of older parents?

    WannaBNursey replied to micstn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Since you're doing this for an ethical paper, OP, take a look at different cultural takes on the issue. We were just talking about this in class yesterday. None of us CNA's have ever seen someone of...

    Demand for Certifed Nurse Midwives

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am interested in becoming a nurse midwife after I finish my BSN and get a few years of experience. I am just concerned that there will be no demand for new grad certified nurse midwives, and I would...

    Demand for Certifed Nurse Midwives

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I live in Florida but am originally from Indiana and am considering moving back there after I finish school. What general part of Indiana are you at? I'm considering going back to NW Indiana or the...

    CNM School and Prior Grades

    WannaBNursey replied to Denali_25's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The good thing about going ADN first is that you can make up your GPA with a BSN. BSN online programs in my area don't calculate your Nursing GPA into admissions decisions. I know frontier will take...

    Which year do nursing students start their clinicals?

    WannaBNursey replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program. We begin our clinicals half way through our first semester, most other schools in the area have the students start clinicals

    Can you be 14 and take a CNA course?

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

    I know many CNA's that started working before 17. Not once did they say that their age made them less professional or made the job harder. I think if you're considering going into a field where you...

    Burnout: getting through the shift

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

    That's happened to me too! I deal with so many patients with altered mental status, I've been hit at, threatened, etc so many times that I just write off what people say now. It does make it easier to...

    WannaBNursey replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    Like other posters said, start screening your calls. I sometimes get excited when work calls and immediately answer the phone only to be asked to come in on a day off. I just can't say no! The...

    Confused...RN or CMA

    WannaBNursey replied to Belle1951's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've seen clinics that hire RN's, ofc you get paid less than you would working in a hospital. If your only goal is to work in an office then go for the CMA. You won't get paid as much, I feel there...

    CNA that would like clinical experience with less lifting.. back hurts

    WannaBNursey replied to Kids2Feed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I disagree on the break thing. The nurse supervising the CNA's will get in trouble at my facility if we don't take a 30 minute lunch break. Even if we're down to two CNA's for 50 patients, we still...

    CNA that would like clinical experience with less lifting.. back hurts

    WannaBNursey replied to Kids2Feed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If the nursing home isn't considered sub acute experience, and the hospital wants sub acute experience, why are you still working there? If you're looking for a CNA job with less physical demands you...

    CNAs working in corrections

    WannaBNursey replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I recently saw a new listing for a CNA in a correctional facility in my area and I was wondering what a CNA in corrections actually does. It says that you pretty...

    CNA's & flumist?

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

    The scope of a CNA is pretty easy to remember. Don't stick anything in anybody in any part of their body ever (exception of taking temp and feeding patient) Easy as pie! I don't know if the scope is...

    weight loss

    WannaBNursey replied to mls4455's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hoped it would help me, but honestly all of the physical activity makes me eat more, so it evens itself out. I did lose a few pounds when I started in LTC, but it's slowly creeping its way back,...

    Can you be 14 and take a CNA course?

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

    It's all different from state to state, but most states have separate rules for separate ages. There are usually rules for workers under 16 and workers 16-17. You might want to look up those child...

    Can you be 14 and take a CNA course?

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

    I don't know about Illinois, but in Indiana I wasn't even able to get a job at a fast food restaurant at 14. If you are being trained in a nursing home ask if they would be willing to hire you after...
