  1. Vol State/TSU Nursing Program

    tenn_bsnstudent posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I am currently study at Vol State getting my pre-req's for nursing. Their nursing program is teamed up with TSU on the Vol State campus. I have heard some good things and I have heard some bad things...

  2. Horrified at what I have seen go on in this nursing home

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Let me just say I worked in a nursing home for 2 years before getting a job at the hospital. It was horrid. For me, it wasn't only how the residents were treated (by some nurses and techs, not all...

  3. If I go for my ASN now, can I go back later to get a BSN?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to LaVanawayj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm getting my associates in nursing and the hospital I'm working at as a CNT said that after I get my ADN I can work as an RN there and if I decide to bridge to a BSN they will pay for it if I sign a...

  4. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to neverbethesame's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  5. Took a Break

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Tricia76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't get yourself too down. I have been out of high school for four years. I have only taken one semester of college courses (which I have to retake to boost my GPA. I am going back after not taking...

  6. BSN versus ADN

    tenn_bsnstudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay so I would like opinions. I know I for sure want to be an RN but torn if I want to get my BSN or ADN. Judging by the schools in this area the only ADN school I want to attend is a private...

  7. BSN versus ADN

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to tenn_bsnstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all the opinions. I am most likely going for my BSN (wish I could change my user name lol). It'll be worth it in the end, I'll spend almost as much time in school for either. Plus BSN will...

  8. CNA jobs and the distance it takes to get to them!

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where I live, places are always hiring CNAs. Whether its LTC, home health, or hospice. It may not always be glamorous but my LTC facility is so desperate for CNAs (we are ALWAYS short, every shift),...

  9. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to neverbethesame's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And I agree, if that is the worst part of the job in the past 5 months, count your blessings. I'm a CNA and I wish the worst was someone's reading material. I really

  10. Pt's/visitors reading Fifty Shades of Grey???

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to neverbethesame's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At least they aren't using their call light as a sex toy (yes, that has happened to me

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The CC I'm attending has classes officially starting the 25th (Saturday) but that's for online classes. My classes start the 27th I am beyond excited to knock a few more pre-req's out!!! Good luck to...

  12. Has anyone ever worked as a CNA while going to nursing school full time?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Alexandralw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not in nursing school yet but I plan to continue working as a CNA until I finish. I had one friend who worked during nursing school every Sunday (6a-6p) and most Saturdays (6a-6p) until she got...

  13. CNA frustrated with co-workers!!!

    tenn_bsnstudent posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay I have been a CNA for a little over a year and a half at a LTC facility. I'm currently getting my pre-req's for my nursing degree. I know its a nursing home and you don't expect the best of care...

  14. Attention Nurses, Nursing Assistants, and other hospital assistive personnel!

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ughhhh oh my gosh I know!!!! Some of these CNA's that think they are nurses and a few LPN's I work with think they are doctors. Those are the absolute worst!!! Then a few nurses think they are...

  15. nightmares

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The facility I am at I worked out for a year before. I quit and went to work at a hospital (a month into my employment at the hospital I had to have an emergency oophorectomy and couldn't work for 6-8...

  16. Throw it on the floor?!

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have been guilty of throwing stuff on the floor, I'm not gonna lie. Now I carry small trash bags and put diapers in the bags and with linens, I roll them up (clean side out) and put it on the foot...

  17. CNA + medical assisant

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to amannimommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would not suggest MA. Everyone I have known to take an MA program has not been able to find a job. They are mostly hired in doctor's offices. I am a CNA and one girl I work with went to an MA...

  18. Why are Nurses so mean to each other?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Has no one heard the phrase "Nurses eat their young"? Its very true from what I have seen. Not everyone is like that, but it is not completely rare to see

  19. What to expect on PM shift?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hahahaha this part made my day! But it is so definitely

  20. Anyone know of nursing homes or agencies hiring nurses with zero years of experience?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Quinn A's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think most nursing homes will hire without experience. Right now I am a CNA and the nursing home I work at hires nurses right out of nursing school and trains them. There was one nurse that was...

  21. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    (Not that I am glad that anyone bombed their first college semester) But it makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only one around here who has done it. Finally starting back to classes 2...

  22. What to expect on PM shift?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Speaking of work, I just got home from it. To answer your questions, we do not have delegated CNA's just for showers. I get the resident, gather clean clothes, diaper, etc. and give them their shower...

  23. Are people less likely to congratulate older or younger students for getting into RN?

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amen! When I tell people that I am majoring in nursing, I either get "good for you!" or "why don't you just become a doctor?" That questions irritates me so much! Like people who assume nursing is for...

  24. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want something "just for the money" try something in business. My sister in law is an accountant and makes 6 digits a year. I would not suggest nursing for

  25. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    tenn_bsnstudent replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a major problem studying (mostly because I can't focus). I have ADHD inattentive type where it is extremely hard to focus. I'm going to get on some medication and hopefully it'll help me with...
