  1. single mom. full time nursing student. full time job..

    thelittledoe replied to Lauraash's topic in General Students

    Good luck to you! Although I do not have any children, I'm feeling overwhelmed and like this might not be the correct choice. I'm enrolling in an accelerated program (all four years of a BSN packed...

  2. Butterflies in my stomach!

    thelittledoe replied to bellafsu89's topic in General Students

    It's great that you are following your dream even though you are 29! Good luck, you will do

  3. Is using quizlet to study NCLEX questions cheating?

    thelittledoe replied to GabrielstudentRN's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry, that's terrible. I use Quizlet all the time and would've never thought people would post test bank questions on there. I would think that as long as the title of the flashcard deck isn't...

  4. Loose Uniforms?

    thelittledoe replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Students

    Welcome to the wonderful world of scrubs! I just ordered mine in December for my new job. I ordered them all from the same site and ordered all smalls. Well let me tell you, there is no way in ****...

  5. Med Surg vs. Pre/Post-Op

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

    Ahh thanks Nursestudent14, but I'm still confused. The hospital actually has a separate building called the "Same Day Surgery Building". So now I'm really confused. I will let you know specifically...

  6. Am I doing the right thing? New nurse getting butt kicked

    thelittledoe replied to j_tay1981's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Roommates of mine have their BSN and graduated in 2011. They work in a variety of settings including med-surg, family practice, ortho, telemetry, ED, OR, PICU. You just have to find what is right for...

  8. starting pay for cna/gna in dc md va area

    thelittledoe replied to brezanurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can't say for the DC area but the NYC metro area usually starts between $11-12 plus there's usually a shift differential. If you don't mind working odd schedules, I have come to find they will pay...

  9. should i take a cpr class now or...?

    thelittledoe replied to nurse_tobe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    From my experience in NJ, most places will give you the chance to take the course during an evening or day you have off and they will pay for it. A lot of the places around here also don't start you...

  10. hardest absn program to get into?

    thelittledoe replied to chiasmus100's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I would say Rutgers as in-state. You need at least a 3.3 undergrad GPA to apply and that is the minimum. It has a 10% acceptance rate. I spoke with the dean and there is a 100% employment rate...

  11. Which is better RN cert. from a community college or BSN

    thelittledoe replied to wchelsea's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are plenty of 2nd Bachelor's Accelerated BSN programs out there. If you already have your BA or BS in another degree, you can usually get a BSN within 2 years. To me its a better idea to get a...

  12. What is onogology?

    thelittledoe replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I believe from what I've researched that it is another name for oncology. I've found that some onogology doctors focus on hematological conditions, while others focus on radiation or chemotherapy...

  13. Can i qualify as a cna/pct once I enter nursing school?

    thelittledoe replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You usually have to have completed at least one clinical

  14. Please Help...Resume and Cover Letter Advice

    thelittledoe replied to NurseRose84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Your cover letter sounds awesome! In all honestly though (and I'm sure you've heard it before) HR department only takes on average 30 seconds to a minute to review your credentials. I recently quit a...

  15. Passed CNA Exam, All Prepped for New Job!

    thelittledoe posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey Everyone! I recently finished my CNA course here in NJ and wanted to congratulate everyone from my class (we all passed our clinical skills exam!). I recently was offered a position at the local...

  16. First stop CNA next stop RN

    thelittledoe replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Good

  17. Those that have 15 residents in a LTC facility

    thelittledoe replied to havehope's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I thought this was an astronomical number too when I first heard it. By me (NJ) they have a tough time finding caring CNAs so that is why the aide-patient ratio is so skewed here. Everyone wants a...

  18. I finally got my hospital job!

    thelittledoe replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congrats!

  19. My CNA story.

    thelittledoe replied to Kris10Noel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm surprised to hear it was that difficult for you to get a call back on LI. I live in NJ and got a call back from every place I applied. They are so desperate for CNAs here. I got four offers also...

  20. Job-Hunting as a CNA

    thelittledoe replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1. I live in central NJ and started applied before my certification was complete. Here you are allowed to work for 120 days uncertified as long as you are in the process of obtaining certification. I...

  21. Interview at hospital and nursing home tomorrow!

    thelittledoe replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey! I was in the same shoes as you a few weeks ago. Here in NJ they are desperate for CNAs. I had 5 interviews and 4 offers. I accepted the job at the hospital. I also have no experience and recently...
