    New CNA troubles/experience

    I worked at a nursing home and this speed you're talking about sounds ridiculous. The CNA didn't even wipe the man? That's disgusting. You can't justify taking away someone's dignity in order to be...
  3. It's unrealistic to believe that you can get into an accelerated program with your GPA. I would hold your breath to even get into a traditional BSN program. Maybe try to get into an ADN program? I had...

    Prepping for different entrance exams

    The TEAS and HESI are both similar, some say the HESI is harder though. I'm not entirely sure but I took the HESI. I used the HESI A2 app to study about three days in advance. Some questions on the...

    Brand new CNA - tips?

    What tips do you have for me? Work hard. Don't get lazy, people will notice. The harder you work as a CNA/PCA the better people (Fellow PCAs, nurses, management, etc.) will view you and rely on you....

    TEAS V score/GPA??

    Yes, my college has a waitlist. I had applied for this Fall semester but I applied too late and won't be starting until January. I am not complaining though because I don't have the best grades,...

    TEAS V score/GPA??

    Seeking some guidance as a 5th year student

    OP, I would apply to both BSN and ADN programs in your area. If you don't get into any within a year I would reevaluate where you're at and think of a different field for now. I'm not saying give up...

    Hopeless cna

    I felt this way occasionally when I was a CNA at a nursing home and still feel this way every now and then working in a hospital. But I'm not the type of person who can be satisfied in the same...
