    Finally I know my career!

    mindofmidwifery replied to pootzie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. Just reiterating because you can never hear it enough but hospitals are not the only potential nursing environment! Like krrbrr said, there are schools, doctor's offices, homes, businesses, you...

    Finally I know my career!

    mindofmidwifery replied to pootzie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's okay if you're not that good at math or chemistry (I'm the worst at both, I'm still only in pre nursing though) it's fine. Most schools only require basic college algebra as well as basic...

    PCT Training/Education

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    What education and/or training would you need to become a PCT? It sounds like something that would be good to do on the side but not if it requires a two year

    MATH

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I'm taking a harder math class than I have to for nursing (long story), and I'm having the worst time on the exams. I do well on the homeworks and quizzes but do so poorly on the exams. Is anyone...

    PCT Training/Education

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I live in Ohio which is Midwest. I read from different sources that to be a PCT you need either specific certification for that or you just need to get CNA/CPR certification like you stated. Maybe I...

    36:1 ratio?

    mindofmidwifery replied to FNPwannabe123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ummmm noooo. This sounds like an accident waiting to happen. That's just my opinion though! I have no idea what the norm for a CNA

    Unnerving, reminder

    mindofmidwifery replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just keep reminding them that hearing is the last thing to go! They apparently cannot stress that enough in CNA class. I admire your compassion you appear to demonstrate

    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My boyfriend and I pay the bills, yes I have bills, we don't have mortgage because the house we have is paid off but we are currently paying rent. We take turns buying groceries. And yes, we both work...

    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What do you think of nurses who don't want to be nurses? Those who go to school for nursing just for the "nice checks" thinking that it's "easy money" or even those who are just going for nursing...

    mindofmidwifery replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    CNA to BSN

    mindofmidwifery replied to GlitterFaerie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. My unweighted cumulative in high school was a 3.7 but because of AP and college credits I graduated with a weighted cumulative GPA of 4.2 and was one of my high school's valedictorians. Too bad...

    CNA to BSN

    mindofmidwifery replied to GlitterFaerie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CNA course took four weeks and that was with only three days a week of classes. Any CNA program that takes over a couple months (if that) is not worth it. It's basic stuff, if you can get your LPN...

    CNA to BSN

    mindofmidwifery replied to GlitterFaerie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you get an associates you can work as an RN quicker, there's really not a big difference between the two except in a lot of regions they now require that RNs have their BSN. You can always get...

    sports bras?

    Love sports bras. Under Armour has the best quality but if you want to get inexpensive yet effective I'd also recommend Danskin. $10 from
