Well it’s been a few days and no one has chimed in soooo... I never ever thought I would get into home hospice work, but have been at it just over a month. I honestly love it! I get paid way better and spend quality time with people who are act...

Base Facts: - ADN, starting 9mo. RN to BSN next month - Med surg specialty, ortho & neuro - 1:6 ratio - Full time, nights - 11 months and 1 week - Burnt out. Lost. Anxious. Depressed. - Enjoys: Code/emergencies and blood’n guts/wounds. My year...

With Covid still raging in my area, there are not many openings in any department. However, I hope to never turn out like our ER nurses. They get bad mouthed all over the hospital for the lying reports they give. No offense to other ER nurses! That i...

That is what I figured for travel. Maybe in a few years with more experience it will be an option. Its definitely med surg. I love my facility. The cases are boring, they only vary in levels of confusion and/or amounts of insulin. Starting over actua...

Any AC student's out there? Surely its not *just* me. Many likely have connections and are from the area, however, I have nobody and am not from the panhandle. So... Have you turned in your application? How did you feel about your HESI exam/score? ...

Of course! I had a 3.6 GPA upon application. There is no judgement here, so let me ask you a few questions: What schools have you applied to? What classes are your lowest grades? What is your GPA?

Awesome! Congratulations! I am excited and nervous. I may or may not have been checking my e-mail all day yesterday, *just in case* Btw, check your pm's on here.

I can't believe it... I am in! Really hoping you are too, fingers crossed! Side note, they were pretty efficient. My acceptance letter was in-boxed at 4:39pm, I am impressed! Haha!

That's okay! I caved and e-mailed the ADN assistant a couple of days ago, and she said today (the 16th) sometime around or after 5pm. She also said it was due to evaluating the incoming grades from the fall semester. Which makes sense, I didn't even ...

Finally! I was thinking the other day how surprising it was that nobody had replied, so glad you chimed in. We may have been in the same exam setting? My HESI was on November 3rd and I submitted the application the next day. I was the girl "freaking...

Oh okay, well the 3rd edition chart covers: Temp - Celsius & Fahrenheit (0°C = 32°F) and (100°C = 212°F) Length - metric (1 kilo through 2.54 cm) and english (1 mile through 1 ft) Volume and capacity - metric (1L through 1 mL) and english ...

Do you mind if I ask what the difference is on the conversion chart? My exam is next Thursday and I would rather not order the 4th edition just to see the chart, haha. If you don't see this in time, its all good! I am feeling prepared and ready to mo...

I am sure you have already called and received the answers you were looking for but, I went to the orientation last month and what you are/were wondering is correct. It was kind of surprising to see that those science course weren't required and woul...

Missing a bold step or 3+ regular steps constitutes immediate failure. Seems like your passing depends on how stringent the proctor was, these test do not have forgivable mistakes. This case depends on the person observing you, only their opinion ma...

Suppose I am the "pot calling the kettle black", huh? Thank you for reaching out to catch my attention. Admittedly, I knew there were errors but did not take the time to figure them out. Practice may not always lead to perfection, but it does lead to...

I am preparing to register/sit for the HESI, but am struggling a bit in the grammar section too. When it comes to grammatically correct or incorrect questions, I find it helpful to break the sentence down by identifying different parts and reading it...

My goodness! Of course you are exhausted! When I still had my LTC position, I worked the heavy medical side 4-5, 8 hour evening shifts in a week. Later requesting 12 hour, day shifts so I'd only be working 3-4 days a week. Those days were looooong! J...

Hey y'all! So its that time of year for me to renew my CNA license. Since being approved I had to quit my full-time position after only 3 months due to relocating for my husbands job. My license is still for Wyoming but their BON says I can renew wit...

Girl! When I went through my CNA class at 25 I kind of felt the same sting you are describing. I had been suffering with depression from previously failing out of my BSN program, it felt like the end of the world for a long time afterwards, but stayi...

I hate to tell you this but TTUHSC is pretty much the same way, if not worse in some areas. They claim to help students stay in the program but that's not entirely accurate either. This comes from a former TTUHSC student who failed. However, this is...

Welp no one is chiming in so why not, I thought both of the nursing schools I was interested in were using the TEAS V exam which helped me decide on the, TEAS V Secrets Study Guide.... Yeah I was wrong. One is the TEAS V but the other is the Hesi, wh...

This does seem pretty excessive. At my LTC facility help flows like this: - Morning/Day shift: Aids get residents up and ready for breakfast, housekeeping and aids split breakfast duty about 50/50, housekeeping cleans up, while aides begin the days ...

I completely understand and sincerely hope you do not get fired for a misunderstanding. At my LTC facility we had a book in the nurses station purely for communication between management/nurses desires for each patients care. Not all facilities have...

LTC w/no experience* as a CNA in Nebraska, I was hired at $10.70 but worked the evening shift for the first 2 months that offered a 50 cent/hr differential. On occasion, about once a month we had mandatory over-time that offered a 75 cent/hr differen...

I've been working at a LTC facility full-time for a little over 3 months now. The residents are for the most part amazing, there are always those few, but I love and am attached to so many of them. Something has come up unexpectedly and I had to hand...
