  2. I hate my new job

    AspiringNurseMW replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Emergency

    If you've still have another year before you move, perhaps a change in attitude is also on your list. If you keep coming to work thinking that you hate it and there is no teamwork, then it's never...

  3. Second guessing myself need advice

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Moenine9's topic in Nursing Career

  4. Early Morning Nurses (and Nursing Students)

    AspiringNurseMW replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

  7. Requirement to be a CNA to be Accepted?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to banfftank8's topic in General Students

    I'm just guessing here, while the scope may be larger, CMA might not be relatable in the ways the program is looking for, especially since most CMAs work in the office setting. As a CNA they are...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Sagegrr's topic in General Nursing

  10. Registered Nurse Registry?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Wake88's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if nothing comes up with the BON it means they HAVEN'T done anything serious. I think what we are saying is that looking for things beyond what is on the BON is weird. If you work somewhere...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to Valcorie34's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    I use a variation of this. I always attempt to take every subject and write all the pertinent information on ONE or two 8.5X11 page. Basically a study guide. It forces me to weed out the important...
