  1. Hi! I'm a new CNA at 17y/o I didn't really know where to ask this so I figured here is okay, if anyone knows a better thread please direct me to it! I'm a new CNA and I applied at about 10 LTC facilities and got call backs and interviews from 3 so f...
  2. New grad interested in operating room nursing

    You definitely can't just "move" into OR nursing you need at least 1 year experience in med-surg and med-surg also usually requires 1 year experience as a nurse in general.
  3. Mom and Nursing Student: What should I do? How should I do this?

    When your husband is home, make sure he is taking care of your child so you can study. Your child is young enough that she won't notice when you are not there 24/7 it's better to do this while she and you are both young. If you have to study with her...
  4. Nursing & Nuclear Medicine

    I don't think there's a field in nuclear medicine specifically for nurses but you need to research that on your own. Nuclear technologists/technicians obviously do the bulk of the job so I'm not sure what a nurse would do other than educate/inform fa...
  5. You seem to be in a saturated job market, which is pretty common now. Your only option seems to be moving just like half of the workforce of new nurses. Try rural areas, unsaturated low-population type of places, even begin in a nursing home/rehabili...
  6. Unsightly spider veins - common to Nurses?

    They're pretty common with all professions that deal with standing for long periods of time, keep trying compression socks but get a new pair of shoes (Algeria, or other heeled clog) or perhaps some gel insoles, I believe once you have spider veins y...
  7. When do going back to school STOP!!

    I feel like OP was referring to pay promotions, not job title promotions. I don't believe she meant a CNA could get on the job training to be a nurse practitioner or anything. but I also feel OP could go back to college just to benefit from a college...
  8. I am a senior in high school and I was wanting some opinions on how possible this might be. I'll be graduating with a CNA certification and clinical experience so I am hoping to find a job soon after high school. I'll be going to school part time fo...
  9. Is it possible to pay off student loans before finishing school?

    Ok thank you! I won't have any other expenses because I will be living at home.
  10. I am a senior in high school and I attend a Vo-tech in the afternoon for CNA training, I've been in the class since junior year because I wanted to start my health career as early as I could! I was accepted into a community college, I have to take 1...
  11. Possibility of paying off student loans before schooling is over?

    Ok thank you! I did apply for state grants along with my FAFSA and I will only be taking classes 2 -3 days a week for my first year so I think I'll be able to work full time. My parents don't have a high income so I'm hoping I receive a lot of grants...
  12. I think I might be in the wrong field

    If you don't like it go with plan C! It's better to drop out now than later.
  13. I see more and more people in my senior class going into college programs for nursing, half of which have no idea what nurses actually do. I myself am going into nursing but I am also enrolled in a cna program at my highschool which prepares us for ...
  14. New on Here....

    Just my opinion, I'm not sure if I'm answering your question or not, but I think going into Lpn first is a good idea for you if you don't think RN is a good route for you right now, working as a cna and getting your Lpn will also be cheaper for you i...
  15. Your opinion on degrees.

    I really see no difference in cc degrees to large university degrees other than pass rates and other things, cc is evolving and In my opinion is a smart choice for a working mother. smaller class sizes, cheaper tuition and such is a smart route. It's...
  16. Your opinion on degrees.

    I think it's always a better idea to get your asn first and then get employed. Getting yourself too far in debt too early when you could assistance is bad. Assistance would be ideal but if you can't get it then at least working and saving for your bs...
  17. I'm afraid of committing to nursing.

    If you are thinking of going into nursing you should know what you are getting into, nursing school is hard and tiring and will take up all your time, you could work nights evenings days and any sporadic schedule you could be given won't be stable fo...
  18. Looking for suggestions for good scrub pants

    Tafford essentials are nice scrubs, they come in various fits and usually have both an elastic and drawstring waist, they're also the cheapest scrubs I can find but they're great quality. The tops run a little big but the pants are true to size
  19. Has anyone ever look down on you because you are a nurse

    as a cna, soon to be RN my family has been nothing but supportive and admirable of my choices to pertain a higher education, most of my family are college drop out miners, walmart workers, or drug dealers, so coming from my back round I am highly res...

    I have met a jaleh, my cousin is named neveah, and I have a cousin with the name SALINE , pronounced like the medical solution. I'm not kidding either it's saline

  23. Keep your pants on...

    If you go into http://www.tafford.com they have scrub pants that have belt loops on them! They are a little high waisted but they definitely won't fall down they are quite comfy and true to size
  24. Was reprimanded for wearing gloves while working with a patient

    My only thought is why you haven't reported this! As a healthcare worker you are obligated to do so! You can be in trouble for this too! You're not helping their situation at all, I immediately suggest that you report this facility ASAP you're not on...
