  1. Retraining Displaced Workers As Nurses

    emcadams replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on the state. I looked at the Employ Florida site, and they don't seem to have much beyond "These are schools that offer education programs", but it looks like you can go into a...

  2. Retraining Displaced Workers As Nurses

    emcadams replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of this program. I lost my finance job in the crisis, and since I'd intended to become a nurse for several years prior I chose to go for it. I assure you I am not receiving...

  3. Halitosis invasion

    emcadams replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I get those when I eat a lot of bread/pretzels things like that. Drinking water definitely helps, as does tongue scraping. I've heard it is bacterial buildup, but I am convinced it is some kind of...

  4. How can I deal with sweating as a nursing assistant?

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

    Try Certain Dri anti-perspirant. They have a roll on and a solid. Solid is for sensitive

  5. Worried About Accreditation

    emcadams replied to afterseason's topic in General Students

    I think the big questions I would ask, is 1.) do employers hire graduates from this school, and 2.) do BSN programs around your vicinity take graduates from this school. If both questions are "yes"...

  6. Need advice about resignation

    emcadams replied to jennilynn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yeah I would keep it pretty short. Even if you "hand in your two weeks", they will most likely just escort you out or just tell you not to come in the next day. I would type up a letter with no...

  7. Can I still take nclex-rn if I have student loan in default?

    emcadams replied to justkeepworking's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would recommend asking an attorney. If someone in your family is an attorney, or just pay the few hundred for some sound advice from a reputable one. If you check 'no' then it sounds like your...

  8. CNA job interview questions

    emcadams replied to Weezy24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Unless you know for sure (like been told by the facility) that scrubs are appropriate, I would wear a suit. Or at least formal slacks/skirt, and blouse/collared shirt. At my CNA school we were advised...

  9. Falsely accused of abuse

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

    Deformation of Character = Defamation of Character

  10. Edison State College Advanced Placement 2012

    emcadams replied to aaengland's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey i will be a basic student this summer. I think the main difference is that we take more classes than you. So you could have both basic and ap students in you classes, but just dont take intro...

  11. New cna-Sunrise Senior Living interview process

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

    Did you get the job? How was the interview process? I applied to be a CNA at Sunrise. Hope I get this...it is PRN but I would love working with seniors and being able to have flexible hours or

  12. I can't get a job.

    emcadams replied to on eagles wings's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What I want to know is what do you say when you walk in to one of these facilities with resume in hand? Also, is a suit ok to wear or is that too

  13. If I could go back to when I started college, I would have choosen nursing.

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

    If nursing is what you want to do now, get to it! I have a Ba, and it has gotten me nowhere. Maybe you could go out of state? Also, prereqs are a way to bring up your Gpa. Because your Gpa is low, to...

  14. How much in loans is too much?

    emcadams replied to Jmiami's topic in Florida Nursing

    What's the market like for LPN's in your area? Since your school doesn't participate in federal loan programs, the loan you would get is a private loan. That will most likely carry a variable interest...

  15. Student loan taking forever to pay off...

    emcadams replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    holli- my mom did the exact same as your dad! Claimed me as dependent when I was in 4 years of college. We all lived with my grandmother, and my mom worked part-time, so really my grandmother...

  16. Student loan taking forever to pay off...

    emcadams replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    If you file your taxes independently (that is, state on your taxes that no one can claim you as a dependent), then you may not need to put your parents finances on it. There are several factors that...

  17. Student loan taking forever to pay off...

    emcadams replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ughhh. I think the one thing about these loans I never understood when I borrowed is how long they take to.pay off! It really is a

  18. ADN vs BSN

    emcadams replied to futureexpectations's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to make the exact same decision. If the ADN is local, hospitals are likely just as familiar with that program as with the BSN. Personally, I went with the ADN. Eventually I plan to go for BSN...

  19. DONT JUDGE ME!

    emcadams replied to juswannabenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This site is in my normal hourly web-check. Email, facebook,

  20. Which path to choose?

    emcadams replied to ginaw623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've also posted several times about my similar dillema. Ultimately, only you know what's best for you. I would not pay 60k school. I have 80k of debt. My goal is to be a nurse and acquire as little...

  21. applying for BSN program in Towson an Maryland for spring semester..need help!

    emcadams replied to shootingstars's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, Salisbury State. When I was looking at colleges the first time around (wasn't even thinking nursing at that point!), I wish I'd considered this school more closely. Its on the Eastern shore I...

  22. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    emcadams replied to ryanalice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know at the local University here, you can get a MSN in family practice or acute care using the ASN-MSN bridge (and holding previous bachelors in another field plus a few years of nursing experience...

  23. applying for BSN program in Towson an Maryland for spring semester..need help!

    emcadams replied to shootingstars's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out bowie state, frostburg, um Baltimore, university of Baltimore. They probably take your transcripts, see what transfers over, and recalculate your Gpa from

  24. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    emcadams replied to ryanalice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am making the same decision! I got into a associates program and a bsn program. I haven't made it official, but the asn seems the best path for now. The bsn program is an hour away and costs almost...

  25. FGCU Nursing Program fall 2011

    emcadams replied to Rebeccakaye's topic in Florida Nursing

    Same concern as abs08. I've made a few posts about this, but I got into an associates program too...there are a lot of reasons I want to attend that program, but there are lots of reasons to attend...
