  1. Starting to get discouraged

    strings85 replied to strings85's topic in General Students

    I figured it wasnt the case. I've seen people post stuff like this before, but im hoping it's more based on skill rather than what sex you

  2. Starting to get discouraged

    strings85 replied to strings85's topic in General Students

    Definitely gonna stick with it. Who knows? I might get a job, I might not. I won't know unless I try

  3. Accepted on the spot?

    strings85 replied to alyssakp111's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Lol in Anaheim, but hopefully getting in to DAS. Are you

  4. Accepted on the spot?

    strings85 replied to alyssakp111's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The LVN program I am trying to get into makes you take a test, then out of the few hundred people who take the test 60 people get accepted to a pre-vn course which is 5 weeks I believe. THEN 30 out of...

  7. I lol at the stud who quit because he had to empty a bedpan...

    strings85 replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I kind of found this sad in a way. I've worked as a CNA, and there is nothing worse (that i've experienced,) than walking in to a room where everyone has diarrhea. It took me a long time to stomach...

  8. Is it okay that I hate LTC?

    strings85 replied to fresitachulita's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well said. When I was interning at a LTC while I was going to school to become a CNA, I couldn't stand it there. The place was extremely dirty, smelled awful, the CNAs had no regard for patient...

  9. Starting to get discouraged

    strings85 replied to strings85's topic in General Students

    Well 43% of new grads unemployed is a high number, but thankfully I'm overly optimistic, and that actually gives me some sort of hope.i can actually say I have never not been offered a job I've...

  10. Starting to get discouraged

    strings85 replied to strings85's topic in General Students

    I don't mind working in any of those settings. I have actually worked in LTC as a CNA. I guess I was just freaked out because someone said, and I quote, "there is no job market for LVNs anymore....

  11. LPN SCHOOL DRAMA!!

    strings85 replied to YesImVictorious's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I also went through a CNA program where I was the only male in the class. I had a lot of laughs at the drama there was, but all in all everyone got along... For the most part. There's always at least...

  12. Should I ask to switch or would I just be whining?

    strings85 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've been through this situation in other college courses. Honestly, most professors don't care what the situation is. I say just bite the bullet and do the work yourself just in case they don't. I...

  13. Downey Adult School LVN orientation/testing

    strings85 replied to strings85's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah the nursing director probably could have answered questions better, but she pretty much read the powerpoint presentation as well lol. Yeah the test was a piece of cake haha. And that is...

  14. What city are you in??

    strings85 replied to lexiie_RN's topic in General Students

    Anaheim,

  15. White male in nursing, any scholarship options I need help BAD!!

    strings85 replied to Kevinellis's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am a "white" male, and I find people looking for scholarships for white males to be sort of ignorant. White is not a race, it is a color. Black students do not get scholarships because they are...

  16. When someone mocks you for being a nurse

    strings85 replied to fraydar's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Crap didnt meant to hit send... Anyway, he basically said i was gay for doing that. I walked over, handed him the sponge and said be my guest. Dont miss the nooks and crannys. Lol i probably could...

  17. When someone mocks you for being a nurse

    strings85 replied to fraydar's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I worked as a CNA for a while. Took a better paying job though until I can finish school. Anyway, the way I handled people mocking me was usually just to ignore it. Most of it was just not even worth...

  18. How many will go on to get their RN?

    strings85 replied to MTmomofsix's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Are the online programs generally cheaper, or more expensive? I've only been looking up brodge programs at local colleges since moving is out of the question as of right

  19. How many will go on to get their RN?

    strings85 replied to MTmomofsix's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I definitely will. The school where I'll be going to get my ADN requires 6 months experience as an LVN before you bridge (volunteer or working.) So I will most likely work and get the rest of my pre...

  20. Why a Nurse?

    strings85 replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    1) Why nursing? I think nursing is an excellent career choice for me. I have always been a person who enjoys helping people. I currently work as a CNA and am hopefully getting in to a nursing program...

  21. Downey Adult School LVN orientation/testing

    strings85 replied to strings85's topic in California Nursing

    Hey, thanks for responding! I thought I was the only one going this time around haha. They give you a handout, and the orientation basically goes over the handout. Info about the history of DAS, the...

  22. Downey Adult School LVN orientation/testing

    strings85 replied to strings85's topic in California Nursing

    So I did my testing today, and I'm prettt sure I did great. If I'm not one of the 60 to get in I will be very surprised. The test was very basic math computations, reading comprehension, and language...
