I've always wanted to be a nurse. I do not have a back up plan if this doesn't work out. I've never been a straight A student. I'm a bad test taker. I learn better hands on. I work as a CNA,...
I looked into dance but it doesn't interest me like nursing does. I've met the admission counselers at the nursing schools I'm interested in. They don't do a point system. They look at your gpa and...
The only reason I don't want to drop the dance class is because that's an easy A for me and it'll boost my gpa. I teach dance Saturday mornings for two hours. Every time I speak with a counselor at my...
I go to school 5 days a week taking a&p 2, micro, and dance appreciation. The dance class is very easy for me so I don't really consider it as a class. I work 3 jobs all part time. I teach dance,...
I've been working as a cna for roughly 5 months. Do I love it? No but that doesn't mean I don't want to become a nurse. I have patients and nurses telling me that I'm the best aide they've ever worked...
Thank you! It's much appreciated. I just found out I received a B for a&p 1 which I'm very happy about. I do not start spring semester until January 22nd where I will be taking micro and a&p...

I was hired in a nursing home with no experience. I wanted to work in the hospital as well but I knew I had to start small. I thought I would hate working in a nursing home but I love it! I work in a...
I'm a cna at a nursing home. I got very attached to one resident (I know that's bad). I do not perform care on him. I only talk to him after my shift is done. We started talking about coffee and he...
I'm a brand new cna at a nursing home. There is one resident who I'm attached to (I know bad idea) but I only visit him when I'm done my shift since he's not in my unit anymore. After visiting him...
You're taught how to handle combative residents. I didn't come in contact with any combative residents during that one day. The other cna's know you're a student so if someone is combative they should...
I live in south jersey. I went to ltc career training in riverside. I went two days a week for lecture and the last two weeks were 4 days a week. I think the total amount of time was maybe 8 weeks. I...
I just had my first shift as a cna yesterday. I mainly shadowed another cna the whole time and performed some care on certain residents. I will admit I'm somewhat of a push over. I was scolded because...
