Do any of you smoke cigarettes? And has it kept you from getting a job?

The only problem is that now after I've done clinicals, I'm not sure if nursing is the field I want to go into. I honestly didn't enjoy the patient interaction or helping people. It wasn't that I thought it was gross or anything like that, that part ...

Is it hard to get into their nursing program? I've heard it's real competitive, and I noticed that most people spend quite awhile just getting through the pre-requisites. I would like to hear from someone who went there. How long did it take you to d...

We're learning bp and I was having a hard time hearing anything, my teacher walked by and said I had my earpiece in the wrong way.

Yeah it took me a few days to get it, but now i've gotten the hang of it. The other hard one is respiration, I have a hard time seeing someone's breathing unless they are wearing a tight or more fitted shirt. I can't see it at all if I look at the fr...

I knew someone that took hers her the summer between her junior and senior year, she was 17.

So after reading all these posts I've decided to quit smoking I'm on day 3 now. I did the first two days cold turkey, but the cravings were so strong and I was having too hard of a time concentrating I decided to do the patch. They say the first 3 da...

Thanks Ruby Vee, but I actually got a bit of a chuckle out of the statement and wasn't too offended by it.

I'm starting cna classes next week and when I find a job i would like to find something close and that pays good. The best thing I could find in my area was a place called christian living communities, they start at 12 or 13 depending on the shift, a...

Anyone lose a bunch of weight after they started working as a cna?It's not the main reason but it's one of the reasons I want to be a cna cause of all the physical activity, I was hoping it would help me lose 30 lbs.

Nice!

Oh well, I guess the best I can do is just apply to places and see what happens, and try to explain things. If they don't hire me based on that, than there is not much you can do.

That's dumb, not what you said but the whole thought that someone would steal someone's identity cause they have bad credit. Times are tough right now for some people, I myself have really bad credit and haven't been paying on my credit cards cause I...

I don't think it would matter for a cna job, if you were applying for vice president of an investment banking firm then it might be a problem.

Oh my gosh that is terrible, I couldn't imagine being stuck in the middle of a bunch of people puking all around me. It kind of reminded me of that movie Stand by Me where everyone at the pie eating contest started puking

I would hate to meet a person that really enjoyed cleaning up puke.

You mean those places that advertise on tv when I'm watching Maury Povich?

Oh I plan on it, but I don't have the educational background right now to go to a university.

I actually had to look it up to find out what happened to her. I also made a mistake she was actually trying to switch the needles she had stolen off the cart to shoot herself up with, with new needles,not the other way around, but she lost track of ...

I have less than one week left before I start cna classes, and I just want them to start. I also want to get a job right away working 3 days a week at 12 hour shifts. I want to work that shift so I have more days off to go back to school to start my ...

Lol, sometimes I wish life was like a tv show, where everything happens easily.

Does it matter if someone gets an associates degree vs a bachelor's degree?

Do you also test for other drugs? What if someone isn't a smoker but they have a major drug problem? Reason I ask is cause I live in Colorado, right by Rose Hospital where that surgical technologist got caught a few years ago, switching her used need...

I'm wondering about that also, would I be able to handle the pressure if it was thrown in my face all the time? Someone else mentioned saying I prefer not to discuss my religious beliefs, and I thought that was good advice, but if I did get a job the...

That's simple enough, thanks!
