  1. Please help my grades are killing me!!

    Yes. My ADN program of choice is extremely competitive. I pretty much need a 4.0, a really great HESI score, and a lot of hours worked as a CNA to get in. So far, I have that 4.0 and I'm working on those CNA hours, but I have a long way to go.
  2. Taking 20 credit hours?

    No one can answer if this is okay for you or not. Only you can decide that. For me, that would be too much. I have children, a house, kids on sports teams, piano lessons, cub scouts, a custom cake business, and a part time CNA job. So, for ME, tha...
  3. Made a mistake. Cna

    It's pee. It's not life threatening, it's not a big deal. Glad you're not stressing any more. :)
  4. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    I wore yoga pants, flip flops, and a loose fitting top. Good thing, too - the girl I was paired up with got modified bed bath. Don't wear make-up. Glad I didn't, since she washed my face. About finding a job - I found exactly what I wanted within a...
  5. prerequisites online

    I have taken a couple of online courses - but they were the English, Psychology, Algebra and Nutrition prereqs. I would not take any biology courses online. Agree with everyone else. Also, my biology classes with labs are all 5 credits.
  6. Are ER Patients Getting More Ridiculous?

    I had my daughter on Sunday morning. I was released from the hospital on Tuesday (c-section.) I got a kidney stone on Friday(I am prone to them.) Yes, I took her to the ER with me. I had no choice. It happens.
  7. Oh, YES! very helpful. I sometimes remember things in very strange ways, but no matter. As long as I remember them, I don't care how.
  8. I agree with everyone else here. When I make flash cards, I repeat it to myself as I make them and writing it down is a bonus. I even go through them while I'm on the treadmill, talking to myself the entire time. I also read my textbooks out loud. ...
  9. Nursing school app denied... CNA in the meantime?

    Does your school have a "scale" system for admittance? For example, my program of choice gives points for hours worked in the healthcare field. Points are given for work as a CNA, MA, EMT, etc. If yours does, then absolutely - take the CNA course,...
  10. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Nope. He's a Physicist. He's a total nerd. A sexy, outdoorsy, shy, nerd. Love him.
  11. Wage for STNA or CNA

    I was just offered a job in a sub-acute rehab for $14/hour, $1.50 night shift differential. Closer to home, too. I'm taking it. Colorado.
  12. Wage for STNA or CNA

    Yeah. I admit, I wouldn't want to do this for a living (I'm working on getting into nursing school.)
  13. Wage for STNA or CNA

    LTC/Rehab in CO. $12/hour starting with a $1 night shift differential.
  14. Should I wait to have a baby?

    I tend to agree. I understand the desire to want to complete school, as I also have it. I'm so excited to get to this next chapter in my life! But, despite looking good on paper myself (I do have PCOS, but my infertility and recurrent pregnancy lo...
  15. Should I wait to have a baby?

    Ovarian Reserve issues do not present with symptoms. AMH will tell you how many eggs are left in your basket and FSH will tell you the quality of those left.
  16. Should I wait to have a baby?

    I can't let this fly, I'm sorry. (No offense intended, TojayRobin! I know and understand that I am abnormally obsessed with infertility, and that's simply because my own journey to motherhood was so hellacious.) The longevity of female fertility h...
  17. Should I wait to have a baby?

    I see this through the eyes of a woman who struggled with infertility, so. Some women's fertility is intact and A-ok at the age of 37. Other women, however, aren't so blessed (or cursed, depending on how you look at it!) and have maxed out fertili...
  18. I'm 35, four kids ranging in age from 14 to 3. I am working on my prereqs right now. I finished up my CNA and am only about 1/4 of the way finished with my prerequisites. If you're too old and busy, I'm definitely too old and busy. I have a fr...
  19. Reproductive Endocrinology. I have a very personal horse in that race.
  20. Single mother, no support, nursing school

    I am also a mom. I have 4 children. I'm 35 years old. I do, however, have a husband. I just wanted to say that I admire you. You go girl! You're going to rock it!
  21. I feel like I've made a mistake signing this contract.

    Where do I sign up???????
  22. I'm a sexless nurse

    Over the years, I have had 4 OBGYNs and 3 different Reproductive Endocrinologists. 6 out of 7 of them have been males. So yes, I have had a whole lot of male doctors with their faces up my hoo-ha over the years. Doesn't bother me at all. They are...
  23. What is the pay rate for a LPN ?

    I'd like to know, as well. Thanks for asking that question.
  24. First Choice Nurse; Second ???

    Hey! Me, too!

    Congratulations!!
