  1. RN or CNA, considering my kids

    nurseby07 replied to mukhorty's topic in Nursing Career

    nurseby07 replied to leinad's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  4. Can we still be friends?

    nurseby07 replied to Jelli_Belli's topic in General Nursing

    I was worried about the same thing. What I have learned after being an RN for only a few months is this: You will be too busy to worry or care about it anymore. I have had problems with the CNAs but...

    nurseby07 replied to sleepyjane's topic in First Year After Licensure

    nurseby07 replied to gdelrosa's topic in General Nursing

    nurseby07 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Does anyone know how difficult the pnclex is? After my drama with the nclex my husband who will take the pnclex in the fall is wondering if he should take a Kaplan course. I found that with every...

  16. Fired in 1 day

    nurseby07 replied to svetas's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't really understand what you did. How low was the K? Which facility was this at and what was the procedure the patient was to undergo? Was it something like you didn't have the patient sign a...

  17. Pioneer Pacific's LPN program

    nurseby07 replied to nurseby07's topic in Oregon Nursing

    By being an LPN you can easily test into the second year of many community colleges. By having your CNA you do gain experience in patient care, but nowhere near the nursing experience you gain by...

  18. Pioneer Pacific's LPN program

    nurseby07 replied to nurseby07's topic in Oregon Nursing

    How could being a CNA be more beneficial than an LPN? That is absurd. As a matter of fact, there are many programs, PCC included, which accept the Pioneer Pacific as a transfer. It is damn near...

  19. So Confused! Programs hard to get into

    nurseby07 replied to Rtkam's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yes you do, at Linfield. It took me two years to get in, but many people did get in on the first try. It is hard when we all got together and some people were saying "it took me 5 years" and other...

  21. Apologizing for being "just an LPN"

    nurseby07 replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have to agree, as a cna, I always seem to apologize for not being an RN. Had I not gotten in to RN school (single parent, 2 kids, mortgage, dog who chews up furniture) I would have BEGGED to be an...

    nurseby07 replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  24. do you feel like the CNA's run the floor?

    nurseby07 replied to babynurse223's topic in General Nursing

    Well there are always two sides to every story, and in my case as an aid on an extremely busy oncology unit and as a full time nursing student I am in the position of seeing both sides. I scoff when...

  25. No Luck for Me :(

    nurseby07 replied to ashbowlen's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I disagree about the grades vs lottery. I have a 3.8 in all of my pre-req's but my ridiculous first years of college from 12 years ago had all but killed my chances of getting in anywhere. After two...
