I had considered hospice....does anyone know what the wear and tear on the body is in hospice?

Yes! Second guessing everything. Nervous that I will be too busy to "have a life". Nervous I won't be able to find a job....

Would Urgent Care be a tad less strenuous? I had considered it actually, but wasn't sure what the job would entail.

I am in my lower 40s. I've worked using my body most of my life. I became a CNA a couple of years ago, and haven't been able to do that full time due to back pain. I was hoping that by becoming an LPN, I would be able to use my body less, but I'm beginning to worry that may not be the case. Are there available LPN positions that wouldn't require quite so much abuse on my joints? I'd love to work in a doctor's office, more specifically in the holistic field, but those jobs seem scarce, especially for an LPN.

I didn't read through all of the comments, so this may have already been suggested....but have you tried Assisted Living? You're working with people that are in better shape overall. Sure...you will lose patients, but rarely are you working with bedridden patients.

On the back page, there is a list for "Are there any abnormalities?". Under that list is genitourinary. That is a pelvic exam. =( I have mine scheduled today, but had just had one a little over a year ago. New rules are...if you get an all clear for a few years in a row, they allow you to go three years between exams. I was SOOO happy about that. LOL! I'm just curious why they are requiring this for school. And what would they do if there WERE abnormalities?

It goes by your grades in each class and the credits for those classes. The MAR packet explains it in detail, but basically an A =4 B=3 C=2...etc. You multiply that by the credit hours. So if you have a class with 3 credit hours, and receive an A in that class, it's worth 12 points. The MAR packet lists the classes that qualify for the points...BIO PSY, etc. You total the points for the classes and then add your TEAS. This will give you your overall points.

Anyone else blown away by the medical paperwork? That's a lot of information they're requiring, and I'm not sure why. I can see the immunization records, even though I supplied those to be in the CNAI & II programs, but why do they need me to have a mammary and pelvic exam? I mean...if I have breast cancer, are they kicking me out? (that was a rhetorical question, by the way). In other words, sure, check me for Tb and anything that may harm another person, but why do they need to know something that would be personal under any other circumstances?

Did everything go well?

This is for comic relief. I saw a meme the other day that said, "When I die, I want anyone I did a group project with to lower me into the ground. That way they can let me down one more time" :).

I received my acceptance letter yesterday!!!!

If letters aren't coming until April 15th, but registration is April 13th and 14th, how do we register? On the other thread, someone said they just stick you in a class? I hope not, I have a job and need to be able to choose which classes I take. Anyone have information regarding this?

They register for you? How do you know when your classes are as far as days and times? They have several different options, do they just stick you in one???

Well, looking at the registration dates, I hope it comes before April 15th too. Registration is April 13th and 14th.

Still no letter here. I wonder what's taking so long?
