    Faeriewand replied to steelersRN's topic in General Nursing

    EMT or CNA

    Faeriewand replied to Mom2Eight's topic in Emergency

    Finish your CNA and get your certificate. Then go for EMT. ED's in my area used to ask for EMT for ER tech position. It helps. They are now asking for EKG techs. Phlebotomy training too. Its not...

    I got in a LVN school but should I Wait??

    Faeriewand replied to bbsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Normally I would say just go for your LVN first because you can get in faster and bridge over. But are you going for your BSN? Is there a wait list? You have to weigh the possibilities. Here where...

    Young Nurses

    Faeriewand replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    I think some young nurses/nursing students will encounter discrimination because of their age. What a shame. My class has all age ranges and each adds to the program.

    Faeriewand replied to PurrRN's topic in General Students

    I am in the Peds/OB rotation right now. Just finished up the Peds part and loved it because I bonded with all the girls working there. I think that's what got me thru it are the personal connections...

    Faeriewand replied to ben123's topic in General Nursing

    Faeriewand replied to ben123's topic in General Nursing
