  1. I am taking the PSB test in a month...

    bluescrubs16 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ... anyone care to share their experiences? I know a lot of schools require the TEAS test so I am having difficulty getting feedback about the test. I bought Peterson's Master the Entrance Exam and I...

  2. I am taking the PSB test in a month...

    bluescrubs16 replied to bluescrubs16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you both for the replies! I probably just need to relax about it all together and focus on reviewing the parts I am most concerned about. Thanks again!

  3. Medical Assistants - Good Career Move or Not?

    bluescrubs16 replied to igus2666's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am neither a medical assistant nor a nurse (yet) but something to keep in mind is that if you go to school for medical assisting there is no bridge pathway to become an RN. Instead why not become a...

  4. Do you have to take the whole course again if you don't use your CNA cert too long

    bluescrubs16 replied to hhealthai's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have seen some community colleges that offer short refresher courses for individuals that were once state licensed but let it lapse for whatever reason. I believe the test is around $100 for both...

  5. Wasn't accepted into a program.... Now what?

    bluescrubs16 replied to Nurse_Cameron's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so sorry! If I were in your situation I would see if it was too late to get in to the LVN program and then try to bridge to the RN program later. This is my plan if I don't get in to the RN...

  6. Should i take a medical terminology class?

    bluescrubs16 replied to cassidysmith23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Med Term with A&P 1 last semester - it is not recommended by my program either. It is a really good intoductory course to how the body functions as well as the meanings of medical words...

    bluescrubs16 replied to stephaniesoto's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P1 last semester & I am getting ready to start A&P 2 in a week! From what I understand A&P1 was about the overall structure of the body (cells, tissues, bones and muscles) and...

  8. Asking for a raise/review when per-diem and feeling annoyed(long)

    bluescrubs16 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Honestly I would focus on completing the NCLEX and then start job hunting. With that much turnover in just one year at the management level it tells me something is truly wrong with this company and...

  9. Are nursing homes the only option?

    bluescrubs16 replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    After I completed my CNA I landed a job in a medical office. I roomed patients, obtained medical histories, tool vital signs, updated medical charts, and more. Look for jobs in doctor's offices that...

  10. CNA program + waiting list

    bluescrubs16 replied to barnacle1985's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am certainly an advocate for preNursing students to get their CNA, although it isn't a job that makes a lot of money... Have you considered going to a CC RN program out of state where the wait may...

  11. Does CNA certification help?

    bluescrubs16 replied to pantherfan14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally I do believe that having CNA experience is beneficial - especially for those with no prior healthcare exposure. A CNA course will teaching the very basics of caring for a patient. Having...

    bluescrubs16 replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was placed on financial aid suspension for completion rate as well. I ended up scheduling time to speak with the director of financial aid. I wrote a letter of appeal and that was submitted to the...

  13. Is nursing school still a possibility for me? What should I do?

    bluescrubs16 replied to shilpas's topic in School, College Programs

    I would advise you to go to a local community college and take a Nurse Aide class that has a clinical component to give you a more hands on idea of what the Nursing field is like on a very basic...
