    Online CNM courses?

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

    I know it's a ways off, but I was looking at both universities. I just don't like that I'm required to travel to Kentucky to go to Frontier, and Georgetown looks impossible to get into. I was reading...

    WannaBNursey replied to srn789's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you're going to work as a secretary and be treated like crap, at least get paid well! You live in New York and only get $12 an hour as a secretary and sometimes nurse? I've been paid more in...

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Just to update...almost a month later, I finally got another interview with a hospital closer to me. I had an initial interview which I thought went poorly, but I got a call back for a second...

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm applying with a few Home Health Agencies. The recruiter from NurseCore seemed to take a real interest in me, but it was a week since I've actually spoken to her, all contact has been over the...

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    After first applying to hospitals, then LTC, I couldn't spend any more time on a job search as my finances just don't allow it at the moment. I have decided to go back to per deim work in home health,...

    What's the first thing you'll buy when you're officially an RN?

    WannaBNursey replied to mssjez's topic in General Students

    My family has a bit a money set aside for a house, I'll add to that pot and start house hunting. Then it's just a matter of paying off student loans and saving for an MSN program (provided I finish...

    As a CNA, do employers know/care if you never took a class?

    WannaBNursey replied to Maui79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Florida is ridiculous with the cost for CNA programs. Want to know how much it cost me for my TN program? $40.00 and that was just for the book. All other costs were covered by the state and the...

    WannaBNursey replied to iminsan3's topic in Florida Nursing

    WannaBNursey replied to Maui79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This makes me want to laugh. I actually went to CNA classes in Tennessee, and when my first employer asked for proof I showed him, but it didn't really matter. After 1 year experience I was never...

    Applying for FGCU's nursing program in the fall, what's my standing?

    WannaBNursey replied to kwmorrow7692's topic in Florida Nursing

    From what it seems, you need to have all of your pre-reqs done or all except one done before applying. I didn't have nutrition and chemistry done and I had a 75 on the TEAS and was

    Cheating pre-nursing students

    WannaBNursey replied to buttons93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This happens with any program in which it's very competitive or where the only thing that matters is getting an A. I will say that the only thing I learned in all of my high school honors and AP...

    Lawyer considering nursing

    WannaBNursey replied to legaleagle30's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Can I ask why you want to become a nurse and drop your job as a lawyer? I wanted to become a lawyer for the longest time before I realized that it would be incredibly difficult to get hired, I didn't...

    WannaBNursey replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to add that, after you get your bachelor's degree, you will be unable to get Pell Grants. I don't know if you use that, but if you do, it's something to

    You're only 19. I actually had that problem, but I took out an extra year to do the prereqs. It's worth it to be able to have a useful degree. Sure I'll only be graduating with an ADN when my friends...

    Get your pre-reqs done, don't put school off for a year just to work as a CNA! After you pass your first semester you can most likely challenge the CNA exam in your state. I love being a CNA, but I...
