  1. Looking for LPN schools in Michigan/Ohio

    JustLikeYou87 replied to kimberly48219's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sorry Rose for the very long wait lol. The commuting is not bad at all. I make it to Toledo in 35-45 mins. Remember you can always carpool if someone is near your route (which saves a lot of money)....

  2. Start lpn school monday! July8

    JustLikeYou87 replied to ashley.wilson's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Very well stated! Throughout my program, I've had peaks and valleys and so will you. During those moments just remember why you chose this career. The best "advice" is to remain open to learning as...

  3. Any tips before atatting school???

    JustLikeYou87 replied to jnc0713's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Get familiar with math conversions/calculations, A&P and some basic med terms. Study a little bit each day but don't over do it. You have your entire time in the program to study. Just relax and...

  4. Almost half way done??...sometimes I just want to throw in the towel..

    JustLikeYou87 replied to fresitachulita's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Are you a CNA? If so, maybe that would be a better choice. Instead of memorizing menus you can work with your residents and use what you know. Also, just keep the faith. God has brought you this far...

  5. Department Wars

    JustLikeYou87 replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This situation is so bizarre. I wish I would explain my duties to a housekeeper. They are not trained to do patient care and really have no room to question what an aide is doing. You know HIPAA...

  6. Just passed and can't find my cna license number

    JustLikeYou87 replied to marsqueen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Go on Prometric website and you can actually look up your number. All you need is you ssn, name and I think DOB. It only took me a week for my certificate to come. When your certificate arrives make...

    JustLikeYou87 replied to kimberly48219's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Here in the Metro Detroit area you have NexCare (they just started accepting financial aid), Everest, DBI and Dorsey. In Toledo there's: PSI, TSPN, Athena and Brown Mackie (it's actually in Findlay)....

  8. January Lpn start?!?

    JustLikeYou87 replied to YesImVictorious's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hope everyone is doing well in their studies! There's a lot of information being thrown at us at one time but its all going to be worth it when we're finished! Everyone remember why you wanted this...

    JustLikeYou87 replied to juana_lpn_soon_2bBSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If your book has any CDs that came along with it review it. Also, check out YouTube and also see if you can form a study group in your class. If you have any questions ASK your teacher to clarify...

  11. Job-Hunting as a CNA

    JustLikeYou87 replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I received my first offer two months after being certified. I didn't really apply too many places because it was the summertime (vacations and whatnot). Every place I interviewed at loved the fact I...

  12. Which CNA program would you recommend?

    JustLikeYou87 replied to kamiller678's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Although the drive is further away I would go with the hospital. If you sign a contract you're already in the hospital making more money. After the contract is up you could get into another hospital...

  13. Did follow up really help land the job?

    JustLikeYou87 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd you're not getting calls for interviews revamp your resume. A trick when filling out apps online is to go to the description of the position your applying for. Go to your resume and use the duties...

  15. Did follow up really help land the job?

    JustLikeYou87 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's always a good idea to follow up. I have sent Thank You cards to interviewer because it's another way to make you stand out. Don't be feel as though you're "bothering" them you had an interview...

  16. How do you hold it together?

    JustLikeYou87 replied to sweetie_pie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Try not to look at it as being depressing even though I know it can be at times. I talk to residents that have conversations with themselves; unable to talk at all; those who can talk; and those who...

  17. First day if clinicals

    JustLikeYou87 replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think that we all have been in situations where we almost/actually did vomit. You will get use to the smell (sometimes you'll be like whoa there!) But, then again no ones BM smells like potpourri....

  18. Should I take a CNA 2 course while Im waiting to get in an lpn program for experience

    JustLikeYou87 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
