    future_RN, CNA replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    Coming from a fellow nursing student, it was your first day. I know you worked hard and did all the prerequisites and have built up that day to be so much, but it is not always going to be exciting....

    future_RN, CNA replied to STUNUR321's topic in General Students

    future_RN, CNA replied to Messy's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I will always recommend Kipnis and Neal, but idk how the others were because I haven't taken them. Also, the lab section when registering I believe is actually the clinical section. Because it will...

    future_RN, CNA replied to Messy's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The teachers are gold. The program is disorganized. Very fast paced, but nursing school will feel fast paced anywhere you go. The Nursing classes for the RN program do not go through the summer,...

    future_RN, CNA posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Don't flame me for this

    future_RN, CNA replied to future_RN, CNA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    future_RN, CNA replied to future_RN, CNA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I make it a point to leave the unit for my break, as I had learned that if I wanted to eat my food in peace that is how I can do it. As far as the phone thing when I was trained everyone brought their...

    future_RN, CNA replied to future_RN, CNA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No i totally get it they are constantly prioritizing. And have much higher priority things to do than things that I can do. Also, I always notify the charge nurse when I'm going on my break and make...

  18. What should I choose?

    future_RN, CNA replied to Dlansey's topic in General Students

    future_RN, CNA replied to jasonemmanuel's topic in General Students

    future_RN, CNA replied to Messy's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Okay so if we've been put through all this that and the other, are we still expected to follow all uniform rules and everything? Why are we held to such high standards and the other side is not? I've...
