  1. Gateway PN 2019

    Me too. I can't wait to get the schedule so we know what time and date we start in Jan.
  2. Gateway PN 2019

    Hi everyone, Ok update is that I got my acceptance letter for the Spring Day Class. So happy. Just got it less than an hour ago. Super excited! Anyone else heard anything?
  3. Brookline College - Graduates not hired ?

    Yes regional accreditation is needed.
  4. Nursing school at 38?

    No, I don't think age will affect your placement. I'm excited and not worried about it. Just let go of the anxiety and think positive. I know it is hard to do so but once you do you will feel a lot better.
  5. A&p 1

    I study a few hours most days of the week. This sounds about right. 12 hours may seem like a lot but there is soooo much info involved with A&P.
  6. Gateway PN 2019

    I sure will. Hopefully I will find out by the end of the month.
  7. How do you feel about B's?

    I'm taking chem right now and if I make a B I would be sooooo happy. I usually get As and Bs.
  8. Recording Lectures

    Get a back up battery charger. It's called a battery bank.
  9. Nursing school at 38?

    I'm 35 and I'm waiting on placement for the nursing program. Never give up if it is your passion. You took care of your kids so now put yourself first.
  10. Gateway PN 2019

    Thanks Christy. My timestamp is August 2017. I got 2 emails before this one just asking if I was still interested so I was happy to get this one that told me I'm at the top of the list. Good luck to you also! Hope your wait is not too much longer.
  11. Gateway PN 2019

    I got an email stating they need my preference for Spring 2019 for the LPN program. Hopefully I am going to get the confirmation email soon saying if I will be in the AM or the evening program.
  12. Should I take General Chemistry and A&P 1 together?

    I am taking Chemistry and A&P 1 now and it is fine.
  13. Gateway CC LPN Fall 2017 Cohort

    I was looking up the information and the RN looks like a 7-8 semester wait. Ugh it's so frustrating!
  14. Gateway CC LPN Fall 2017 Cohort

    Is it easier to get into the LPN program or the RN at Gateway CC?
  15. Current CNA Pay Range

    I live in Arizona and work in a Rehab Hospital and started with no experience at $12.50.
  16. CNA/patient ratio

    I agree. In my rehab hospital we have between 6-9 patients depending on the census. I work 5am-5:30pm and am responsible for doing vitals 3 times a day, getting patients to the dining room 3 times and day, and showers and answering call lights throug...
  17. Rehabilitation Nursing: A Specialty In Its Own Right

    I'm a CNA at a rehab hospital and I agree. Patients can make such a great recovery just from one day to another. I love seeing their happiness as they get to return home. They are so greatful. It is very rewarding.
  18. Hi, While doing my clinicals for CNA I was on the hospice floor. I'm not really religious and was wondering if it would be akward to work in hospice. We are supposed to be there as support for family members. If a resident's family asked you to pray...
  19. Am I just being too sensitive?

    No matter your title it doesn't give anyone a right to disrespect you. You should always try and work it out between yourselves before escalating it above. The bringing the tray out from the room could have been done especially if she was just in the...
  20. Funniest thing you've heard in an interview

  21. Has anyone questioned becoming a nurse?

    I think it all depends on the management of the facility also. If the employees are not happy then there is a reason behind this. Yes, everyone has their bad days but if everyone you see is in a pissed off mood then there is a larger problem going on...
  22. Free Money????

    Does anyone know legit websites for scholarships? I know there might be some scam websites out there and I don't want to put my personal information out there. Can someone give me some ideas? I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much in advance!!!...
  23. Got my first CNA job. Really scared.

    You are just too nervous. Just remember that everyone goes through this and you can handle it. Everyone makes mistakes. Good luck.
  24. CNA Entrance Exam

    I am not all that great in Math either and was nervous about taking the entrance exam also but I just did a little refreshing of fractions and I ended up making a 93 on it. Don't worry too much. Anxiety is the worst part.
  25. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    These are pretty good tips! Thank you
