  1. I spoke to a WGU counselor today.....

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Elleveein's topic in Western Governors University

    Hello I just found your post and have a question regarding the two tries for the teas test. Is there a certain amount of time before taking it a second time? For example, the community colleges here...

  2. New CNA- wanting to work in a hospital

    Nurseeverywhere replied to opalbee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was able to get into acute care after working per diem at a skilled nursing facility and volunteering at my local hospital. I did both for seven months and was then hired at the

  3. How difficult is it to land a hospital job?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to SmallpoxNebula's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did several years of home health but could not get into an acute setting with that experience. Most want a year of LTC or SNF experience. I volunteered at the hospital I wanted at the same time as...

  4. Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

    Nurseeverywhere replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's been four years of prereqs but I consider myself a pre nursing student and like others have said I will do so until I receive an acceptance

  5. Mental Health

    Nurseeverywhere replied to mandeekay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't give up it will only push you further into depression. Plenty of people work in healthcare even with mental health problems. I have anxiety and I find helping others actually distracts me from...

  6. Attention CNAs

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Lrodrig1089's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    missourinurse2b I do not assume I know the job of a nurse but I do know that I have worked with plenty who help their patient, not me, as much as they can. If said patient is at high risk for pressure...

  7. Attention CNAs

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Lrodrig1089's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is a very tough job but if you can get into a hospital setting, from my experience, it is easier on the body. If you are easily grossed out with bodily fluids I highly recommend you get into the...

  8. CNA Nursing Home Interview

    Nurseeverywhere replied to cocostar's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    They did not ask much because most SNF's are short staffed and since they don't pay much they are desperate. Get some experience and then look for work in an acute setting. They usually pay

    Nurseeverywhere replied to OnlinePersona's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. Prerequistes at National University

    Nurseeverywhere posted a topic in California Nursing

    Just wanted to get a little feedback on taking classes like BST 322 and A&P one and two at NU. How many hours would you need to study a day and how many days a week? I know they really discourage...

  11. I need some advice

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Amy6882's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What shift is it that you are working with 20 residents? If people are quitting left and right, enough to leave them short staffed, it is probably because the are overworking their employees. What you...

  12. Should I have quit?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to AmberAmazes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Sounds like a terrible situation. You did right by leaving so don't lose anymore sleep over it. Some of these facilities just don't give a crap about their employees. The longer I am in the field, the...

  13. Could I do nursing (BSN) if I have a criminal record?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to kariace's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have a juvenile record and as a CNA that hasn't prevented me from working and it won't keep me from getting my BSN. As long as you were not charged as an adult or have an adult record you shouldn't...

  14. Juvenile Arrest: Did I ruin my chance to be a nurse?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have never disclosed anything from my juvenile record and it has not been a problem. I currently work as a CNA and hope to start ADN program within the next

  15. BE HONEST! What part of your job do you hate?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Cheers_G's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Maybe the CNA can't make it because he or she is in another room cleaning someone else or in the middle of a hoyer lift. Why exactly are nurses beyond being able to take resident to

  16. Nursing and the sex industry

    Nurseeverywhere replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

  17. testing for cna exam

    Nurseeverywhere replied to manpreet singh's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I tested there and passed on my first try. The majority of my class passed. There was a few that failed but out of those some didn't pass the written portion. It's nerve wrecking but if you have been...

  18. Does your hospital allow shadowing experience?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Yuppers21's topic in General Nursing

    Can she get in as a volunteer? I am volunteering on three different floors at a local hospital and while I am not one on one with an RN I do answer call lights and interact with multiple staff on the...

  19. Where's my planner nerds at?!

    Nurseeverywhere replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    My fave is definitely Erin Condren!!! I've had so many different planners but I love that I could customize it. The stickers it comes with are awesome and I really enjoy how it breaks down the

  20. Can you succeed in BSN programs without Chemisty?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to meganthe's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nurseeverywhere replied to mamabear1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    White watch I used for clinicals when I did my CNA over a year and a half ago. Still works and it was about $14 at Walmart. Not everything has to be

  22. Is this abuse?

    Nurseeverywhere replied to isthisok's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Report it immediately. Something similar happened during my CNA clinicals. It was viewed by two of my classmates who reported it to our instructor. That CNA was investigated and fired. She had no...

  24. I can't find a Cna job!!

    Nurseeverywhere replied to Courtneyjamesw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Have you touched up your resume and cover letter? It could really make a difference. I'm also in California and all my CNA buddies found work right after and San Diego is very competitive. Apply to as...
