    I really hate my job as a CNA. Will I hate / suck at being a Nurse?

    barcode120x replied to taraleee's topic in General Students

    I feel you, even though I was never a CNA. I was a lift tech for 4 years prior to RN so I literally know what back-breaking means. Don't worry taraleee, sometimes it may not seem or feel like it, but...

    Microbiology with lab

    barcode120x replied to lck8119's topic in California Nursing

    I don't think you will ever find a science course with a lab online. The point of the lab is to do actual experiments and do work on it. Your best bet is applying to a community college asap to get...

    My first cry

    barcode120x replied to RNby24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've heard of that as well in other states. One of my close friends worked a regular MS floor in Arkansas with a 1:7 ratio. He told me the only way he would get through each night was prioritization...

    I really hate my job as a CNA. Will I hate / suck at being a Nurse?

    barcode120x replied to taraleee's topic in General Students

    This is the truth. There are many older nurses where I work at that do the bare minimum in terms of personal care and it drives me nuts. I lose respect for those nurses that go out of their way to...

    why does MT. San Antonio College RN Nursing wait list?

    barcode120x replied to steven626's topic in California Nursing

    I went to Mt. SAC for nursing in 2014. I'll try to clear things up IF they are still the same today in regards these courses. When I was doing my pre-reqs prior to starting in 2014, I was told that...

    New Grad Nerves

    barcode120x replied to Lexilover33's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was exactly in your place when I started on my DOU/telemetry floor this past October. My anxiety was mega high, I was super nervous every shift, and there were MANY things I did not know when I...

    Is LTC a good option if I can't find a job?

    barcode120x replied to 07courtney1993's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Check local LTC websites for any open positions. They may show up and healthcare related career fairs too. I had a very good nursing office at my nursing school where they would go out of their way to...

    Waiting anxiously

    barcode120x replied to ColtonsGma's topic in General Students

    Trick or no trick, you will find out regardless. Unfortunately, you have to wait. From Cali? Most of us found out about our results in 2 days after the day we took our test. Looking at your post, you...

    Gpa Good Enough

    barcode120x replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most community college nursing programs are point based. Overall GPA, pre-req GPA, and HESI scores give you most of the points where as being multi-lingual, have hospital experience, and/or are a...

    Man problems

    barcode120x replied to Rlien's topic in Men in Nursing

    Cherokee all the way. Look into Dress-A-Med. Their scrubs aren't as "stretchy" as other brands but they look pristine all the time, have plenty of pockets and are a nice fit if you are a "slim-fit"...

    Are ASNs worthless?

    barcode120x replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my ADN program, professors encouraged us to seek a BSN once we finished asap as they said hospitals are now preferring nurses with a BSN. When I started looking for jobs are the Inland Empire area...

    NCLEX select all that apply questions?

    barcode120x replied to Nursecrystal2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had around 20 or so SATA questions and passed at 96 questions. SATA questions are the hardest styled questions out there for the NCLEX. Not sure how true this is, but we were told that if you came...

    Commute

    barcode120x replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    My school was 20 minutes without traffic from my place. With usual morning traffic, commute would range from 30-40 minutes. Our classes were always scheduled at 7am which allowed EVERYONE to have no...

    NCLEX next week!?!?!?!

    barcode120x replied to tdwrightpics's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My only advice is to take an entire day off the day before your test. Don't mind dump, but relax and destress. Eat out with friends, take a nap, get a massage, play some video games, or netflix and...

    ER Job opportunities

    barcode120x replied to Electric0704's topic in California Nursing

    If you look at my previous post up above I have names listed for you in the Inland Empire area. I also hear that the Anaheim Regional Medical Center in the Orange County is looking to hire with...

    Do your teachers round up grades?

    barcode120x replied to NewNurs2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In most of my general education courses (probably like 95% of my classes), my professors rounded grades that were borderline...you know like 89%ish or w/e. If you were active in class and made the...

    Finished my first hard science pre-req!

    barcode120x replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My general chem course was split into 2 classes and it was tough, especially the lab portions and ended up a B in the first course and a C in the 2nd. I absolutely LOVED organic chemistry though....

    I didn't get in!!

    barcode120x replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I waited 2 and a half years for a lottery based program before I got in, you're not alone. Not only that, my school took in 60 students every fall and spring. Maybe you'll be more lucky than me and...

    Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?

    barcode120x replied to PlentyOfMurses's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Wish I did! I'd say 95% of the females on my unit are already taken. We're all around the same age which is cool (late 20's to early 30's), but I kinda joined the unit late haha. Some day...some day....

    How many programs have you applied to?

    barcode120x replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I technically applied to 3 schools instead of 1? All were CC but the other 2 I applied for...well I couldn't "apply" as my pre-req GPA didn't make me eligible. The CC program I got into was...

    Anyone else feeling down now that they graduated?

    barcode120x replied to RnoRN's topic in General Students

    So true! I was still waking up at 5:30 am each morning thinking it was Monday, exam day the first few weeks after school ended. Overall, all the feelings wore off. For me though, I wasn't really sad,...

    Would it be best to be a CNA then an RN?

    barcode120x replied to ART_Princess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being a CNA can give you an upper hand but it is definitely not required. Of my class of 60, less than 10 were actually CNA's or CNA certified. If you did get your CNA and started working in the...
