  1. is it true?

    bethin replied to mistydave's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm unsure about your first question. Most hospitals will help you with tuition if you agree to work x amount of years for them. Third shift downtime? Depends where you work. I've never been able to...

  2. To be a CNA in nursing home or hospital?

    bethin replied to Sammygrll's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Check with the nursing home and ask how long you are required to work for them. If it's no time or little time I would go with them. I did my aide classes through a NH and I was not required to work...

    Congratulations!

  4. hello

    bethin replied to deemarie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Welcome to allnurses! Don't second guess yourself. You've been a waitress and obviously have people skills. Lots of people have no prior experience in healthcare before going to nursing school. You...

  5. Where can you find CNA schools around your area?

    bethin replied to jalliecat777's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Look at community colleges and the Red Cross. Also, many LTCF offer classes and you get paid for going to class and working the floor. If you do do LTC make sure you ask up front how long you are...

  6. Hospital to charge employees who smoke

    bethin replied to lpn2rnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me, I have an interview next week with Clarian. I'm going to have to remember to cancel. I'm a nonsmoker, normal BP, weight, slightly elevated cholesterol (due to genetics). I take meds...

  7. Need advice and a kick in the right direction

    bethin replied to mrsmoriarty's topic in Nursing Career

    You don't have to be anything to be a RN. Some schools will require before starting clinicals that you become a CNA. You can choose a 4 year college which will get you a BSN and then you can sit for...

  8. Problem facility giving poor care

    bethin replied to wonderbee's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I would call family and let them know what is going on. Regardless of what they say I would call the state's ombudsman. If he's receiving substandard care then others probably are too. Could he be...

  10. Should I go to nursing school????

    bethin replied to 2B_RN_2008's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That may be where you live. I attended a small private college in Indiana where you could choose between BSN or ASN. ASN was way more competitive than BSN. Last year they didn't even fill all the...

  11. Angry ER RN new n LTC

    bethin replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Apparently they didn't hear you the five times you told them you wanted to learn charting. If they can't hear you now, they may never. Either sit down 1:1 with DON and explain the situation or give...

  12. Point System

    bethin replied to SALAAM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school it's like this, your points may be different. Science courses like micro and A&P: A= 8pts; B= 4 pts; C= 2pts All other classes: A= 4pts; B= 2pts; C= 1pt Obviously the more classes you...

  13. Past coming back to bite me in the fanny?

    bethin replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Operating Room

    I wouldn't bring it up unless they mentioned it. If they do mention it, explain the circumstances. Good

  14. Why is this PC bullcrap prioritized above people's lives?

    bethin replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. I'll take that to my therapist. I don't want to say I want to see her fail, but I hope she doesn't make it through this class! How is she going to communicate with patients? Lots of elderly...

  15. I'm sure I'll get 10,000 replies saying to run, run, run from this place!

    bethin replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Run! You were right, you are going to get 10,000 replies telling you to run. This place is a mess and you could lose your license over it. It's not worth it. Run! I don't think I'd even bother...

    bethin replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the link! The stuff is ok, but I'm very picky. I usually only wear solids like ceil blue or navy to work so I don't see myself going out and buying it because it has her name on

  18. Do you think it is too late to go into nursing?

    bethin replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're still young! And that means something considering it's coming from a 27 year old. So if I think you're young, you're young. I worked with an LPN who was 55 when she graduated AND she was going...

    I don't think so. The article said that Peaches would me making them and I don't think they're out yet. I'm picturing myself in Seattle, as long as there are no low riders! I hate bending over in...

  22. Linear Algebra?

    bethin replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, kind of confusing. Could you apply under Regular and take the college level algebra (it's not that bad) and if you didn't get into that program would it transfer to Plan B's program? One more...

  23. I Threw Away Your Drink

    bethin replied to Tweezer93's topic in Nurse Management

    Why did my manager eat my lunch that had my name on it? When I called her on it she lied. She was sitting down in the break room. I went back to warm up my lunch and noticed it wasn't there. I...

    bethin replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    same here. loved calculus and physics but hated loathed stats. drop it if you're failing and look at it this way: if you didn't drop it and still failed you'd lose money because you would have to...

  25. Linear Algebra?

    bethin replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yikes! I took it when I was a architect major. You do not want to take that class online. I had to take it twice to even pass face to face! Bad, bad, bad memories. Oh the nightmares. I highly...
