  1. "Many of your classmates will not be nurses"

    sueall replied to JoseQuinones's topic in General Students

    OP -- your post is being given center position on my bulletin board. Thank you for

  2. Lpn & Cna skills

    sueall replied to deetrain's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You will cover a CNA skill set -- then you'll move on to Week Two of nursing

  3. What I've Learned in My First Month of Nursing School

    sueall replied to nervousnursehopeful's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hear hear! A very wise move on your part. Nothing good ever comes from girls and even older ladies huddled talking about other

  4. American medical institute in houston tx.

    sueall replied to gfuentes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The Texas Board of Nursing website shows that the school is currently on "Conditional" approval status, which means they cannot admit new students. Their NCLEX pass rate for 2011 was only 50%, and for...

  5. which healthcare position course would be best first to take? MA or CNA

    sueall replied to lulure79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sounds like a great plan. Yes, MAs usually (but not always) work in physician's offices or clinics. CNAs are not really trained for office

  6. which healthcare position course would be best first to take? MA or CNA

    sueall replied to lulure79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Welcome!! Great to see you are "Determined" and want healthcare experience! There's an old saying: It's impossible to choose a direction to travel unless you know your intended destination. It...

  7. Medical Assistants - Good Career Move or Not?

    sueall replied to igus2666's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In defense of nae312213's post, that's the Official Claptrap direct from the AAMA -- CMAs work in private doc offices and are directly supervised by the physician. That may be the AAMA's idealistic...

  8. Chamberlain's NCLEX Percentage Score

    sueall replied to Texas02's topic in Chamberlain College

    I took this directly from the Texas BON website: "The program has had a graduating cohort with a 2013 NCLEX-RN® examination pass rate of 87.50% (14/16) and is eligible for full approval." You'll...

  9. Have you considered nursing school?

    sueall replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Speaking as a mom, I'm pretty sure you already have! Best

  10. Kingwood Quest Basic Track 2014

    sueall replied to Jmon714's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you so so much, Iamleean. I have been interested in this program for a while now for post-LPN but could find NOTHING about it anywhere! Your information is exactly what I needed to hear. As a...

  11. Medical Assistants - Good Career Move or Not?

    sueall replied to igus2666's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Same here -- more MAs than nurses in private/small group offices. HOWEVER -- the MAs are not paid well at all, and any advancement is in the administrative direction, with a definite limit on how far...

  12. Finished first week of LVN school!

    sueall replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sounds as if you are off to a great start and are right where you should be! Hang in there -- the ride has only

  13. Prairie View A&M University

    sueall replied to scoruthers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hopefully someone will chime in with their personal take on the school, instructors, and workload. But as for the specific requirements, the only truly reliable source for answers is the school...

  14. Thwarted by Viète! or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Accept I Suck At Algebra

    sueall replied to lovevolver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shoot for As, but do yourself a favor and verify WHAT grades your programs look at for selection purposes. For instance, at my local ADN program, there are prerequisites classes that must be taken,...

  15. Open Letter to Incoming Students

    sueall replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    smoup -- I read my books cover to cover over the summer, too. I found them fascinating and it helped me gain a bigger picture perspective for what was going on. It wasn't my intent to "pre-learn"...

  16. Advice On LPN school

    sueall replied to futurelpnurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OK, this really boils down to your personal priorities and circumstances that aren't stated in the posting. If I'm understanding you correctly, the issue is whether to attend a program that is 33...

  17. Mmmm, fruitcake is so good. :)

    sueall replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Every year my family gets me this incredible fruitcake confection made by the Amish in Elkhart, Indiana. And every year I make it disappear in . . . oh, minus five seconds. Hmmmm. I wonder if anyone...

  18. Mmmm, fruitcake is so good. :)

    sueall replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Need we even mention the ultimate two-dollars-in-the-bank-account staple, Ramen Noodles? One of my classmates used to eat the stuff straight out of the package. Or she'd plop it into a cup of tap...

  19. I had time for a chat....

    sueall replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in Emergency

    That was a wonderful post, No50Franny. Absolutely wonderful. It will keep me going. Thank you for

  20. Might be getting fired tomorrow

    sueall replied to camci's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    True. But reading everyone's suggestions still provides invaluable information and ideas for others, even if not for the OP. Knock on wood we won't find ourselves in OP's situation, but if we do,...

  21. Dumb question....

    sueall replied to Emily Cox's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LOL! Within a week or two you will be able to find your clinical site in your sleep -- and you probably will! But seriously -- do a few dry runs from your house to the clinical site well before...

  22. LVNs/LPNs being phased out?!

    sueall replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Presumably "Phlem/IV therapy" is actually "Phleb/IV therapy" as in phlebotomy. But even MAs are taught phlebotomy skills, so that's not a major

  23. How to tell that you are truly a nurse

    sueall replied to rachel_fusion's topic in Nurses Rock

    This looks like an advertisement for the company named in the ad that you work

  24. Are these true or false rumors about LPN

    sueall replied to mcclot1993's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In hospital daytime clinical work, the current LVN and CMA job descriptions can be identical. These job descriptions were taken directly from job opportunities currently available through Texas...

  25. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    sueall replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    My sister just turned 60 and is enrolling in an ADN program. She wants to work hospice as her post-retirement second career. She may be hating me in about a year, as I encouraged her to give it a...
