  1. San Jacinto College LVN Spring 2017

    neuron replied to vanessa0710's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I went to the info session and he said the number of applicants have gone down and they said about 75% chance of getting in. I hope I get in. I have a few screw ups on my

  2. San Jacinto College LVN Spring 2017

    neuron replied to vanessa0710's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I applied at San Jac. Do you know how many applicants there

  3. Is it a bad idea to go back to school for a CNA license after graduating as LVN?

    neuron replied to Virtual's topic in General Nursing

    Is there anyway you can move? It is sort of like, if you put all that time and money in to your license, you may have to move to where the jobs are. El Paso, Houston, different part of

  4. Took Hesi

    neuron posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Ok, so here it goes. Being that I never took a standardized test before, I feel a little disappointed with the layout/format and overall structure of the test. I did study, but not the right material....

  5. Took Hesi

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Yes, it's passing, but not sure it's enough to get in to the program I am trying to get in to. Since I did so well in A&P 1, I thought I would have gotten in the 90's. I was wrong! Certain things...

  6. Took Hesi

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I didn't have to take the chemistry section, only the A&P section. One thing is you can't see the next question. You can't pick and choose which question you are going to

  7. Finally passed math.. now why is reading a problem??

    neuron replied to BrittTX's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The questions they ask sometimes aren't in the answers. Very frustrating. I took the Hesi, and I spent 10 minutes trying to find the answer, which wasn't there. With those questions, you are better...

  8. Yep. Nurses do "eat their young"

    neuron replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    That phrase 'eat their young' just gives these older nurses power (as implied by the word 'young'), as if they have importance (no disrespect, nurses are great). Experience is highly commendable. The...

  9. Critical Thinking- Hesi

    neuron posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Hi, I will be taking the Hesi in a few days and wanted to know, does anyone know about the Critical Thinking portion of this test? The reason I am nervous is because not all situations are 'textbook',...

  10. CNA vs. Fast food: Which is tougher?

    neuron replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I would work the CNA job PRN and keep the fast food job. The CNA job is too much responsibility with continually being unappreciated, devalued and ultimately being abused. The regulations ('turn that...

  11. Need titers and vaccinations with no insurance

    neuron replied to soonernurse01's topic in General Students

    I believe the TB test can be as low as $5 in some state health clinics, a Hepatitis, MMR, Varicella and Tdap (if needed) can run $40-$50 (and titers) at a local lab testing site (i.e. AnyLabTestNow or...

  12. Newly Licensed LVN , Victorville CA Trouble Finding Work .!

    neuron replied to SpecialBlackOps's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I believe CA will let you challenge the CNA exam if you are in nursing school or a 'graduate' if you are just looking for a job. Doesn't sound too appealing, but it is still work. If California has a...

  13. Falsely accused of med diversion

    neuron replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    I stopped at the point where you said 'I hold on to it'. Even with the right intentions, you don't know who you will bump into while you are in possession of an unaccounted for

  14. Are CNAs being phased out?

    neuron replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Those hospitals and nurses still treat the cna's and techs like cr$% from what I've heard . So I don't covet those

  15. Are CNAs being phased out?

    neuron replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't see how you would be cleared by a nurse. By the facility yes. The nurse is an 'employee'. The nurses where I have worked have cheapened the nursing profession. So getting cleared by them is a...

  16. Are CNAs being phased out?

    neuron replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Cool. If it is an 8 hour class, great. It is just that those 8 hours sure don't speak for what really the job is. With the currect staff ratios here, they pile on the meds to these med aides till they...

  17. Are CNAs being phased out?

    neuron replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If medication aides are certifed in your state then they can pass meds. It might just be a facility policy? When I worked home health, the policy was that an hha or cna couldn't give meds but when...

  18. Are CNAs being phased out?

    neuron replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd like to know 'where' this 8 hr class is. Being a med aide is a lot different from a 'class' you take. It is a run for your money if you think it's an 'easy' job and. Not sure where you got I said...

    neuron replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually medication aides have to be certified in nursing

  20. CNA questions! HELP!

    neuron replied to Carissa2929's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You could always try a hospice. Not everyone likes hospice. Either an inpatient hospice or home hospice. They seem to be the most quiet. In home hospice, you are sitting most of the time, turning...

  21. New Cna Stressed Dementia

    neuron replied to Viviann's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Alot of times the new CNA's/employees get the worst sections or the sections nobody wants. Your employer probably knows this. Request to go to another unit. It doesn't work with another CNA who...

  23. How to protect a CNA's back

    neuron replied to EbonyWaltonEl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Short answer in my experience is a small patient load rather than 13 or 14 patients. When you have a lot of residents to get up or to put back in bed that can make you lose focus and become less...

  24. CNA questions! HELP!

    neuron replied to Carissa2929's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you worked as a cna, it is different that the way you did it in clinicals. Whole different story. But if you did become a cna in a facility, that is a chance to learn it the right way(if you lost...

    neuron replied to kjkolesar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never considered nursing up to a couple of years ago. I just attended an info session and the age range was across the spectrum. Same as working a CNA, the age ranges were/are across the spectrum. I...
