  1. What to do for work during school

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My hospital doesn't have apprentice positions. I'm 38 and have been a CNA for ~3years. I'm looking at EKG (Tele) tech or phlebotomy. I want to do something different because I'm tired of being...

    Not sure where you are located, but at my CC it's a total of 6 units and will cost similar to what my CNA did. About $700 + licensure exam

  3. What to do for work during school

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm looking at Tele Tech but I'm told the rad techs are cross trained. It looks like phlebotomy may win out. It's a one term program of 3 classes at a community

    I carry a full beard. Clean cut, neatly trimmed. First I take a razor and hit the edges and neck. Then I take a beard/mustache trimmer and the closest guard attachment & shave. That's how I go...

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nursing Career

    The phlebotomy course I can finish by December. In my assessment I don't factor in my fiancé making money. She makes $21/hr. Still, I can't just make $11/hr with what's going on... I've not been a...

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I feel like they low-balled a job offer to me. I'm a CNA with 2.5 yrs experience. They offered me $12/hr. Told me that it was set by corporate based on experience and job. Bull. I know several CNA's...

    I do. At HCA it's $14/hr. St Rose I don't know. It seemed low when SNF's pay

  12. Best school for me

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Eventually I am moving to the Chesapeake area. I'm looking toward several programs. Some are ADN some are BSN. As a non-resident, the out-of-state tuition for some are exorbitant. So, while I prefer...

    Sunbaby, I'm relocating. I don't know about the Paul school. Never heard of it until now. ADN or BSN.... If it's reasonably priced, ok! I don't think I could wait a year to start unless I was an

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Heather, I will be 38 next month, I'm a CNA and I have twins on the way. I would prefer NOT to support them on just CNA salary. Add to that my tuition comes out of pocket (ZERO financial aid). Damn...

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Depends on your finances, home life (ie. kids, S.O., etc) & end game. It's not unreasonable to cultivate several opportunities. Make a hierarchy, apply to 3-4 & make a choice based on where...

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'll have to ask the gf where her aunt stays. I'm not familiar with the area. After careful consideration I'm going to aim for ODU, Sentara & Tidewater. I didn't know J Sargeant was so far away....

    They did. Thanks Heather! I like ODU's layout. The price isn't too bad, actually better than most. I'm looking to see how difficult it is to get in. You are a most appreciated source of information. I...

    I checked out the prereqs at some of the colleges. I've complete (or will have completed) most all the requirements. Keep in mind I won't be in school until Fall 2014. Some programs only start in the...
