hurditrthere

Hi. I will be returning to school for ADN this fall but was wondering if anyone might offer feed back on which class to take in the mean time while waiting to return. This summer I will have completed and recieved my CRN so that I can get a part time job to hopefully get more exposure to the medical environment. But after class is over, I will still have time to take another class before the ADN starts up again. Which class would be most beneficial for my nursing career, Certified Medication Aide or Phlebotomy?

Ok thank you so much. I just checked. That was great advice. I am going to do the CNA and Med Term over the summer:)

Thank you for that. I deffinetly love the nursing care part of it. And I still very much want to be a nurse. I am going to continue with the plan and use this as a learning experience. And since I am going to be out for the summer, I have decided to take a medical terminalogy class this summer session. I think it might help me get through the material a little easier. Atleast I hope so. Also, I have decided to look for a part time tech position to gain more exposure to the health care setting. One of my teachers suggested that to the class. What kind of job title should I look for when looking. Any ideas? Since I dont have a certificate of anykind, I am dont know what type of position I should look to apply for that would allow me access in a hospital care setting. My teacher seemed to think that nursing students can get tech jobs in hospitals. Is there a certain job tech name to look for?

I failed second half of Foundations. They dont offer this particular class again untill mid fall. I studied so hard for this test and I have been on the border with it from the start of the second half of the semester. I know I would have passed it with a B if I had realized I had 50 minutes to take the test. But instead, I thought that I had and hour. So becuase of that, I wasnt able to answer the last 9 questions. I am so mad at myself for making such a stupid mistake like this!!!!

If anyone can offer some advise to me on this. I am a middleaged first semester ADN student and am unsure if I should do something different. I just failed one of my classes and will now be on probation. Should I have started at the LVN instead? The ADN program has been my first exposure ever to the healthcare industry and I feel like maybe I'm in over my head. Should I back out of this program and attempt LVN indstead, and then work my way up while I still can? Or, should I get out of this all together since I have already failed right out of the gait? Thanks
