WannaBNursey replied to Sarah96's topic in General Students

i understand why people in the healthcare field can't wear fake nails, but they're so pretty! i wish there was a way to make your nails pretty without harming the
CNA's taking over lpn's?

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

I don't know about everywhere else, but in my area LPN's are being phased out of hospitals, and there's talk in some nursing homes of phasing them out of there too, which I think is the most...
I'm a nurse, not a babysitter!!!

WannaBNursey replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

Wow OP, your job sounds exactly like what I did when I worked as a CNA in home health. Why would they waste your skills like that? I'm going to assume your services were covered by insurance. You...
What field of nursing do you want to go in and why?

WannaBNursey replied to aghols12's topic in General Students

I've never heard anybody say that they actually wanted to go into geriatrics! That's truly amazing to me. Why just last night, I was taking care of a friend's 80 year old cousin and afterwards, I...
What to do??? :-/

WannaBNursey replied to SailorVee93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I don't know what area you're in and how many CC are near by. If you have a low GPA, apply to a school that places more emphasis on tests instead. I was fortunate enough to be able to apply to a...
Lobe Piercings

WannaBNursey replied to Sarah96's topic in General Students

Until you start working, there are clear studs that make it look like you're not wearing earrings. Maybe you'd be allowed to wear those so your second and third sets don't close up. This was the first...
I'm leaving my first nursing job after 6 months, any advice?

WannaBNursey replied to yng65's topic in Nursing Career

I don't have experience as a nurse, but just a somebody who has almost been fired before, take your 6 months of experience and RUN, don't walk. If they already spoke to you about letting you go, beat...
Edison State College Nursing Program 2012

WannaBNursey replied to iminsan3's topic in Florida Nursing

I just spoke to Ms. DeBona today to figure out if they got my results from certified people or not. They did, and she told me that the "letters" were actually going to be emailed to us, with all...
How do you become a Labor and Delivery nurse in a retirement community?

WannaBNursey posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

I've wanted to work with pregnant women and newborns since I was 15 and helped my mother through the birth of my youngest brother. Though this his my passion, I know that it's the passion of every...
Hubby will not support my decision to return to school

WannaBNursey replied to Lola34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I can understand what your husband is saying. You have very young children, and nursing is a much bigger time commitment than teaching. You'll be losing money while your in school because there...
Why do people insist that there is a nursing shortage?

WannaBNursey replied to MissNancy's topic in General Students

If you go on bls.gov, it still says that jobs are expected to increase greatly between 2008 and 2018. Most people consider the word of bls.gov to be law. If you look at a big website like that instead...
Does Taking Chemistry Actually Matter?

WannaBNursey replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

It's not a requirement for any program I applied to and I applied to three programs. My Microbiology teacher constantly complained about how he couldn't go into deep discussion on many topics because...
Why do people insist that there is a nursing shortage?

WannaBNursey replied to MissNancy's topic in General Students

lol, I almost went for one of these when I thought I couldn't get into one of my community colleges. They are predators! I simply stated that I was interested and that was enough to give them the...
Lobe Piercings

WannaBNursey replied to Sarah96's topic in General Students

Just found my dress code. Tattoos must be covered, only one set of lobe piercings, earings must be studs. Nursing wristwatch with a second hand is required, wedding rings are allowed but no other...
Why do people insist that there is a nursing shortage?

WannaBNursey replied to MissNancy's topic in General Students

In some areas there still is a nursing shortage. In my area, hospitals have been piling patients on RN's and CNA's while they cut down the LPN staff. There are always openings for RN's and at the...
What field of nursing do you want to go in and why?

WannaBNursey replied to aghols12's topic in General Students

I want to go into Labor and Delivery or NICU. It was my dream to be an OB/GYN before I even wanted to become a nurse. When I helped my mother give birth, it was the best feeling to usher life into the...
Where did you find your first job after becoming a CNA??

WannaBNursey replied to missie1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

I got my first job in Home Health Care. It was a little scary at first, but I got so used to it I couldn't work anywhere else comfortably. I tried a job at a "Nursing Home", night shift. I was the...
How do you become a Labor and Delivery nurse in a retirement community?

WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Ob/Gyn

I'm thinking of volunteering in the NICU or L&D at the hospital I want to work with. Would this give me a leg up and show that I have experience on these floors if I volunteer there while I'm in...
How do you become a Labor and Delivery nurse in a retirement community?

WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Ob/Gyn

I just got admitted to Edison Charlotte Campus Basic Nursing! It's the easiest out of the three Basic Nursing programs to get into, Lee being the most difficult, but the LPN-RN transfer is a bit...
Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

WannaBNursey replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

Actually you could teach health with a BSN, and in Florida you can just take an exam to teach in the area you want. Requirements to teach in public schools are different in every
Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

WannaBNursey replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

I think it's good to offer constructive criticism. Go and and tell the students that they will not get a job in L/D right out of nursing school, it's just the truth. I don't think there's any point...

Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

WannaBNursey replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

A a patient, I can say that the HCA hospitals are disgusting. I'm specifically speaking about Fawcett Memorial and especially Englewood Community. The doctors are the worst, they are distrusting of...
Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

WannaBNursey replied to lyndseyx3x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

$13,000.00 is an utterly ridiculous amount to pay for an LPN or any technical program. If there's not another LPN program in your area, I would start taking pre-reqs for the ADN programs. I believe...
