  1. Young CNA here: help me understand this union thing

    AlliD replied to ravenpuff's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    If it weren't for unions there would be no weekends, paid time off, the 8 hour work day, etc. Not to mention fair wages. But hey, who

  2. Nursing exam questions are terrible (according to science)

    AlliD replied to ericthered's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  6. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

    AlliD replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

    I totally understand.. It usually gets under my skin when someone points out how quiet I am being, and everyone's attention immediately goes to me, waiting for me to explain myself. But now I just...

  7. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

    AlliD replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

    I can't even begin to explain how many times I have had to say this to people! It is extremely annoying when you're treated as if something is wrong with you because you're not speaking your every...

  8. Why the heck do I have to be assertive???

    AlliD replied to JaRoJoCT's topic in General Students

    Have not read all of the previous posts so I apologize in advance if someone else already pointed this out. There is a huge difference in being introverted and being shy. Someone can of course be both...

  9. Sick of this

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

    First of all, report this abuse without a doubt - second of all, since when does an aide have any say whatsoever in how another aide performs/works? You learn day one in CNA class who to report to and...

  11. Helpful books/resources for new students?

    AlliD posted a topic in General Students

    A community college near me offers a short "preparation" course prior to starting their nursing program. I looked up the required text and supplies on the college's bookstore for the class and among...

  12. Helpful books/resources for new students?

    AlliD replied to AlliD's topic in General Students

    @Lori, I think I will buy an older edition, cheaper review book to mess around with until I find out which one I will need when I start my program! Can't hurt, anyway - to at least practice with the...

  13. Helpful books/resources for new students?

    AlliD replied to AlliD's topic in General Students

    From what I've heard from other students and seen here on AN, I think it would be a good idea to go ahead and buy an NCLEX book! Saunder's comp. review is one of the recommended texts in the syllabus...

    (This may be long) Hello everyone..Let me begin by saying I have browsed this website nearly every day ever since I found it about 2 years ago while I was a senior in high school. As of now I am...

  15. New hopeful student!

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

    Exactly, I really do not want to add to the course load! At the rate I'm going I will have Micro finished in the summer before the fall NSG classes begin. I have to talk to my advisor first about this...

  16. New hopeful student!

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

    Wow! I had never thought about the letter of recommendation and cover letter before. That sounds like a great idea. And if I'm not accepted I do plan to take the remaining 2 co-reqs before applying...

  17. New hopeful student!

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

    This Fall I have A&P I, Applied Mathematics, and then Intro to Psychology which I am retaking to bring my C up to an A to improve my GPA (every little bit helps haha). After this Fall my pre-reqs...

    @acedit, I'm so excited for you! Good luck! @illusion, I agree. Even though there will be a lot of people who will give us a hard time we just have to be fearless and persevere through it! @mandy, I'm...

    Thank you for your kind words! And yes it was very difficult for me to shake off her words. She was a nurse for over 20 years and I naturally looked up to her. I wish you the best in your
