LookingIntoTheFuture

I also start January 13!!! It has been a long journey to get to and will be a long journey to get through but I am so ready! I still have supplies to get but I'm ready!!!!!!!

What is your job title (CNA, medical assistant, medication aide, HHA, PCT, PCA)? Nurse Technician Where are you located? Chicago What is your hourly wage? 16.75, on the lower side of my peers because I started with no experience and our union contract hasn't been giving us our raise. Are you paid shift differentials? Yes What shift(s) do you usually work? 3-11:30 What is your current specialty (rehab, med/surg, ortho, doctors’ office, clinic, long term care, psych, home health, hospice, etc.)? I float to each area of the hospital. How many years of experience do you have? 6 What is your status (full-time, part-time, or casual / per diem / PRN)? Full-time Are you a pursuing a career as a nurse (RN or LPN)? Yes, starting in 1week :-)

I am hoping that it does, I have been a CNA for 6 years now. I dont see how it would hurt though. Also, You will do fine on your test! But Good Luck anyway!!!

I was thinking about a Zuca Bag, but from reading these posts I might not need it as much as I thought. Has anyone used the Zuca for nursing?

Congrats!! I looked on this website for advice as well when I first got accepted into my program. I took the advice of many and relaxed and enjoyed my time, while preparing of course. Good Luck!!

Is there anyone who uses the Zuca and can give more insight on this bag that are actually in the program? Or recommend another bag that they use? (Bump)

Any more suggestions? {Bump}

Are Ipads the best to have as nursing students? I am looking to purchase a Ipad or tablet of some sort before I start in January. Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated!:) {bump}

I will be 25 when I start my program Spring 2014. Hopefully I will be 27 when I finish.

Congratulations!! I was also accepted to MVCC nursing program for Spring 2014!!! See you Dec 3rd!!

I have not taken the test yet and am terrible in math, you have made me an tad bit more nervouse about it. But this will alllow me to better prepare myself.

Thank you so much!! I like when we future nurse help each other. I will post any unsaid info I come across! Thanks again!
