  1. Bossy CNA's in LTC(long)

    Plagueis replied to jaimemds's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    All I can say is that I hope that I don't try to perform any skills that I wasn't trained for when I become a CNA. It seems like there's confusion because different states have different policies...

  2. Working during nursing school/clinicals

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in Nursing Career

    There is a LPN program at a local technical school, but it's a full-time one (5 days a week), so that's out. I wish there were more part-time nursing programs available for us working adults. Most of...

  3. Why be a CNA?

    Plagueis replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    this is why people who don't have empathy should not become cnas. if they can't put themselves in their patient's place, and see things from a patient's perspective, then this is not the job for

  4. Info about Atlantic Cape CC/Cumberland CC

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Thanks for answering my questions. Wow, I can't believe so many students dropped out. I'm going to see if I can get any more info from CCC about their program, and whether they have a waiting list or...

  5. Info about Atlantic Cape CC/Cumberland CC

    Plagueis posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hello, everyone. I hope your day is going well. I have some questions about the nursing programs at Atlantic Cape Community College and Cumberland County College here in south Jersey. I was wondering...

  6. Why be a CNA?

    Plagueis replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm surprised that CNAs would be allowed to pass meds, since they aren't nurses. Does that vary state-by-state? The certification test here in Jersey has a written part, and a skills part, but it...

  7. CPR Certification Choice

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for answering my questions. Yes, I actually heard that the Red Cross certification was "good enough" for CNAs, but I just found out that the college here does require the AHA certification, so...

  8. Working during nursing school/clinicals

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey Brandy119. I see that you have the same worries as I do. The counselors here are not very encouraging about working during clinicals, but they don't seem to realize that many of us: have kids to...

  9. Why be a CNA?

    Plagueis replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you all for answering my questions about CNAs. Usually when I ask people what a CNA does, all I get is "They assist nurses," which isn't really specific at all. I don't know if the program that...

  10. Why be a CNA?

    Plagueis replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am currently looking into becoming a CNA, and possibly a nurse a few years from now. I am worried about doing this, however, after reading about some of the experiences that many people have had...

  11. Bossy CNA's in LTC(long)

    Plagueis replied to jaimemds's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    After reading these posts about CNAs, I am worried about pursuing that particular job. I am currently looking into becoming a CNA, and looking forward to starting nursing school in a couple of years....

  12. CNA Questions/Experiences

    Plagueis posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, everyone. I'm a pre-nursing student who is currently trying to enter a CNA program that starts next month. Since I don't see a specific area for CNAs, I have some questions that I've been...

  13. CNA Questions/Experiences

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, everyone, for answering my questions about CNAs. It sounds like it is a tough job! It seems obvious to me that you all are an important part of the healthcare team. I hope that I am able to...

  14. Working during nursing school/clinicals

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in Nursing Career

    I am planning on getting the science classes out of the way before clinicals. The college here does have plenty of scholarships for nursing students, so I am planning on applying for them. I don't...

  15. Working during nursing school/clinicals

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in Nursing Career

    The college I'm at doesn't require Chemistry to get into the nursing program, just A & P 1, 2, and Microbiology. I have had some anatomy stuff from biology class from a long, long time ago, but I...

  16. What is the answer to this test question?

    Plagueis replied to yeepers's topic in General Students

    Hmmmm. I just finished a math class last semester, so I would think that Mg and mg are the same thing, since mcg is mircorgram. (Or so I thought.) Therefore, I would have answered "false," as well....

  17. Working during nursing school/clinicals

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in Nursing Career

    Hello. I am getting good grades in college so far, and I love reading, so I shouldn't (Ha! Ha!) have problems studying. (I made it through Intermediate Algebra somehow.) :) What I am worried about...

  18. Working during nursing school/clinicals

    Plagueis replied to Plagueis's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi. Hope you're having a good day. My daughter is 12 now, but I won't be eligible for clinicals until around 2007, since I still have to take A&P 1,2, and Microbiology before I start them. I can't...

  19. Reading Comprehension on NET

    Plagueis replied to mickgaff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you (and rhiannon) for answering my questions about the NET. I was confused about the study guide, as no one ever mentioned a publisher. My college does require a 75 on the test, in addition to...

  20. Reading Comprehension on NET

    Plagueis replied to mickgaff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello. I am thinking about nursing school, and one of the requirements is a 75 on the NET. I see that many of you mention a NET study guide, but not a name of a specific publisher. Does that mean...
