  1. Can a 17 year old get a job as a CNA in Minnesota?

    Tinkk posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am 17 years old and am planning to take an approved CNA class at a local senior high school. High school applicants can be accepted, so its not an issue there. I am in my last year of high school...

  2. Can a 17 year old get a job as a CNA in Minnesota?

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

    I checked with social services awhile ago and the facility I work at currently seem very staunch about not letting anyone under the age of 18 work as a nursing assistant unfortunately. Since I already...

  3. Nursing to Med School

    Tinkk replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would be wasting a lot of time. If you want to be a doctor, go right for pre-med and skip nursing school. Having a nursing background is not going to help you out much, and pre-requisites are...

  4. Are these true or false rumors about LPN

    Tinkk replied to mcclot1993's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    1. In my area, there is a magnet hospital that still hires a multitude of LPNs yet. It just depends where you are geographically. Some other parts of the country are phasing them out (or so I hear)....

  5. CNA working as PT aide?

    Tinkk replied to Get2theChoppa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Have you tried applying at LTC (long-term care) aka nursing homes? I guarantee you would find a good chance at being hired there then at a hospital. A lot of hospitals prefer and sometimes require LTC...

  6. Why Do You Want To Be A Nurse?

    Tinkk replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    You're right, I don't think "just wanting to help people" or wearing scrubs is enough for someone to be a nurse. There is actually a girl I know who is going into nursing school and this is exactly...

  7. Nursing specialty that requires minimum patient contact and best hours?

    Tinkk replied to tsipareht's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only thing I can think of that you wouldn't have any patient interaction would be at desk job at say a doctor's

  8. I don't think I can afford to get my BSN?

    Tinkk posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi everyone, I'm a senior in high school and looking over my options for nursing school. At first I thought ADN was the way to go because it seemed cheaper, but everyone on the website is highly...

  9. How long will my CNA program take?

    Tinkk replied to destin-marie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'll be taking my CNA course next summer and its set to last 5 weeks (4 weeks classroom, 1 week clinicals) with the schedule similar to yours (3 days a week, 6 hours long). As for finding a job, it...

  10. I don't think I can afford to get my BSN?

    Tinkk replied to Tinkk's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks for all advice everyone! and FYI, I live in Minnesota. I checked with the local magnet hospital in the city, and they do hire ADNs, but I get the feeling they are BSN preferred....they were...

  11. Bemidji State anyone?

    Tinkk replied to ShelbyaStar's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in the process of finding a college for nursing. I'm a high school senior and plan to take my pre-reqs right after I graduate so I'm really needing to make up my mind which school I...

  12. How should I go about becoming an RN?

    Tinkk posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I want to go to nursing school, but I'm a bit confused which path I should choose. I have two schools I'm interested in - a technical college that requires you to follow a CNA to LPN to RN route and a...

  13. How should I go about becoming an RN?

    Tinkk replied to Tinkk's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, I honestly don't have any choice when it comes to getting my CNA if I intend to go to a technical school in my state. So you guys think the long route of CNA - generals and pre-reqs - LPN - RN...

  14. How should I go about becoming an RN?

    Tinkk replied to Tinkk's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What I don't like about the tech school is that you have to first become an LPN before you can become an ADN. I would rather just get my ADN right away rather than mess around. It also requires you to...
