  1. I have been at the same healthcare organization for over 5 years now, most of it spent at one of the organization's smaller hospital's ICU on night shift. Six months ago I transferred to the big hospital in the organization into the cardiac cath lab....
  2. What Scrub brands run the largest?

    I hear that Tafford brand scrubs run larger. I am waiting to pass NCLEX on June 6th before I start buying a bunch of new scrubs, which I will probably buy some from Tafford since I am a larger lady myself. Cherokee brands are pretty generous in the...

  5. How to pass a nursing class?

    Just and update here. I went and talked to an instructor after class yesterday about my exams and grade and she gave me a pep talk about how I can make up for those 3 points and pass this class and graduate on time. She isn't the type to give out com...
  6. How to pass a nursing class?

    As far as resources go, I have extra reference books, extra Powerpoint presentations the instructors give us to look at, videos, studying with fellow students, other experienced nurses, education websites, plus more. I had a friend in class give me a...
  7. How to pass a nursing class?

    Okay y'all, I am in my 2nd semester of a 4 semester program. I did fairly well in the first semester and I do know "my stuff" during clinical. I have gotten very good marks and comments on my work in clinical. But these darn NCLEX style questions on ...
  8. The fear just hit me - help :(

    I am considered morbidly obese as well and I felt the same way you do. Some of the instructors at my school are young and petite and I feel awkward when I go to them for help. I don't feel like I have been discriminated against in anyway but I did f...
  9. I agree with you, except my agency is pretty good about not digging into my business. If I need a day off, I just shoot them an email saying what day or days I need off and that's it, no questions asked. I do agree that we are underpaid and that we ...
  10. Mitchell Community College Fall 2012

    I won't start the actual ADN program (the NUR classes) until August 2012. I don't know anybody that has been through the program before but I have never heard it being "impossible". It will probably be challenging and time consuming and involve lots ...

    Yeah it kind of sucked that I have to run all these errands for the client in my own personal car with the gas the I purchased with my own money and did not get reimbursed for gas mileage from the agency.
  12. CNA vs. PCA vs. HHA

    I have worked in home health care for over 3 years now, and I have worked in LTC facility for 2 years before working in home health care. I thought I would like HHC better than LTC because of the flexibility of hours and one-on-one attention to clie...
  13. Mitchell Community College Fall 2012

    I did get my acceptance letter after a mix up of addresses. I guess they sent it to my old address instead of my new one (I thought I gave the school my new address??). Anyways I will be going April 27th to the orientation. If anybody else that re...
  14. Thanks for looking this information up RT21! I will have to look into this.
  15. CNAs are not required to be CPR certified at my company unless we are caring for patients under 18 years old. I had to pay for my own certification, which was like $35. I currently do not have any clients under 18. So if my certification would run ou...
