Okay so my first class went great, turns out it was only orientation with a little intro lecture and video on additions and vitals - yay no quiz . The classes aren't as long as I was told and it's only in 10 weeks, I'm going to be working as a CNA...

maybe i'm picky , but i'd like to be comfortable i'm used to wearing 34-35" lowrise bootcut jeans or pj pants, but i'll obviously have to switch to scrubs for nursing. for clinicals (sat & sundays) while in school i need white scrubs, i got so ...

i have a million questions, here's my story; ok so i have a problem. this morning i used first response and found out i was pregnant (or at least there's a 99% chance that i am). i had suspected something was up: maybe since i've been ultra hungr...

I think large might be too big, i'm averaged sized (5'8" 140lbs) but thanks for all the advice

eh, i thought our alfredo sucked. i hardly ever did the sauce station, so i don't remember, plus it's been about 6 months since i worked there. all can tell you is lots and lots of butter and heavy cream

well my job isn't horrible but it makes you and your car smell - guess i'm not pimpin lol. i'm a line cook and have been working in kitchens for 3 years - i think it was worse when i worked at the olive garden (garlic), it's not so much from eating ...

i'm confused. i recently started a cna class and i was told if a resident refuses treatment (of any sort), legally you have to respect their wishes, and that missing one shower isn't gonna kill them cuase it's not like their rolling in dirt, lol. a...

probably becuase most of us - if not all, went to someplace clean and reputable. i've got 4 tattoos, none of them inapropriate, and i'm training to be a cna at a facility where you're aloud to show them - one of the cna's, i was told, as two full a...

I have the dell axim 50 and i guess you could call it a recording software. there isn't a specific program for it, but if you go into notepad you can make a recording that saves on it there. mine stoped recording when my memory ran out - which wasn...

yesterday my bf quizzed me, but he got tired of it quick so i don't think he'll do it again. i'll see if my friend will help me next time. he would say the vocabulary word, and i would have to define it. if i got it right, there was a check, if i g...

every state is different for hourse and class time requirements. though i agree, the lpn is not a step above cna. if you look at it like a ladder. i don't know what it is called, but a year after being a cna (in maine) you can take the cna somethin...

should i stay or should i go now? if i go there will be trouble, if i stay there will be double... lol ok so call me crazy, but i'm strongly thinking of quitting my job. i don't know how the whole cna training process works though, and what if i fai...

i was worried they'd be mad becuase they were so short handded but they understood my needs and were nice about it. i'm not quiting just yet. i told them i can follow through with next weeks schedual but from now on i can only hand weekends (which w...

i'm in a cna class. we got the book on the 7th and in it was the first assignment. section 1: units 1-4 and then just review section 2: units 5-6. at our orientation she said every class she will give us an asignment to read for homework and the ...

i'm doing the same thing as you. i just started a cna course and next year i'd like to get into the comunity college to become an lpn. ~michelle

first off, any advice on studying, especially vocabulary (i just started and already have 70 that i need to know and spell correctly - including some long achronyms, yikes i probably can't even spell that lol). seems we will have to do at least one ...

i was so nervous but the ltc facility called me this morning while i was at work (luckily i wasn't' busy so i ran outside to answer my cell), she said i was accepted and the course and book will be paid for in full - will i accept? yeah!! i'm getting...

i've been trying for a while now to get into a cna class and the interviews for long term care facilities that would sponsor me keep changing (which is really annoying :angryfire and a long story). so needless to say i couldn't get work off for the...

oh and i almost forgot, somethign else that was amusing. i got in the mail today a piece of cardboard. yes, a piece of cardboard (at least 14"x12") that was sent to me. at first i thought, wtf? maybe someone is playing a trick on me. maybe someo...

I'm glad I didn't jump right into college after high school, though I'm only 3 years out, I learned a lot about life and working first. Now that I've finally decided on what I think I'd like to do, I'm ready for college. I'm 21 and (if i get accepte...

i want to go to college next fall and have had the hardest time deciding on behavioral health and social services or nursing. but heck, why don't i do both. psych nursing sounds exactly what i want to be. what do you have to go to school for, just...
