Anyone have any help/advice/suggestions on DON interview or Finacial Aid process. Still studying for my TEAS V (if anyone wants help studying pm me) but idk anything about the Interview or FA process and would like some insight before going in.

Was she able to make the $300 payments? Are you able to adjust them to a lower payment at anytime during school?

I have an Avengers and a Batman one I bought at Walmart. I know some people don't prefer Walmart buy I bough a Hello Kitty top from them and it lasted years so I figured why not, the tops and pants are decent on a budget? I've also seen WonderWoman,...

@wowohwow I meant the nclex pass rates for the school was pretty soild @ 92.something% for 2015

Hello! I was wondering if those of you who applied for a for profit school rn or Lvn program and did not get into their program could tell me why?! Specifically in southern Cali? Friend of a friend said she made it all the way to an interview after p...

@ladyfree28 I go to Mt Sac (a cc) now but they are neither acen or ccne accredited. -all the ccne programs listed on their website are all UNis as you need to have a BSN program to qualify -And as for acen there is only 25 adn programs in the whole...

@meanmaryjean I understand that he BON doesn't accredit schools, I only meant that the program itself is approved. ok so this is what I've researched, if someone here is from SoCal please correct me if I am wrong. -if a school's PROGRAM itself is ...

@KCMnurse the schools pass rates are good (my own research not what was put in front of me) also at least here in SoCal the places I have been employed (which are reputable) hire new grad from a lot of for profits schools. If you want to get somewhe...

@wrench party the school I am aiming for is BON approved, just not wasc. There is an opportunity to trasnfer to a particular wasc school for bsn tho. @thecommuter no one has mentioned a required gpa but you do need to score a 62% on the TEAs V (and A...

Is this a person of taller/more muscular stature? That's what I come across a lot.. "Oh the pt is a min assist". I get so mad. It's like no, that person can basically just pick the pt up and transfer and I'm not about to get myself hurt. Idk of this ...

If you're smaller then ask for help, even if this disgruntles other employees, if something happens to you and you didn't ask for help then the facility could make sure you assume fault. Make sure the bed is at a good height for both of you guys. Tre...

I'm not sure where you live but I've never seen a cna in a clinic setting, only MAs. cna work isn't all messy work, but it's a big part. Sitters def still have to do messy work, just for that pt solely. And I hope you don't take the pov of not helpin...

I think you did the right thing by assisting the fall. If the pt was already at the sink it's unlikely that you could get the pt to a bench or the toilet. I'd be afraid to try and get the pt that far if the pt was already going down as the pt could g...

-Also depending on some facilities licensure's you don't need to be certified cnas or pcts. That does vary to state to state. But as far as SoCal most group homes or assisted livings you don't need to be certified (I think this may be because most gr...

-I've seen some hospitals try and phase out cnas bc on paper they look like a frivolous cost, but tbh they're super important for pt satisfaction scores (considering tele and med/surg unit nurses would have to do total care for 4-5 alone). -I've also...

@tricaj I understand this. I am taking it with a grain of salt. But I had wanted to ask the question here to just see if anyone had any rejection stories and thought if I had mentioned it it would've broken the ice for some that were wavering on shar...

@noadls mte.

No question here, I was just responding to the comments. The main question is still in play tho: has anyone been turned away from a for profit school and why?

Mte, that's why I was reaching out to see if anyone here had an experience and were willing to share. It doesn't even need to be this school particularly that you had an experience.

Try and always get more sleep the day before you start your first night shift. Try and pack a lunch because the only thing open is gonna be crap and it'll take a toll on your and your body. If you drink coffee hide your creamer (once someone knows yo...

@roser13 the two people I know personally passed their background check. The friend of a friend idk and she never told my friend why she didn't get in. Not passing the background check could certainly be a possibility, but I'm not sure why they'd let...

Only on pre-reqs but when I've suggested to get together with ppl that same has happened to me. Then it wasn't till after a exam some showed up and some didn't. Then again in some other classes study groups haven't helped me either. I would say keep...

I think for the initial it's just he normal stuff: any felonies or pending felonies

I would put a mask on. Like someone said before you can always tell someone you feel a little raspy, some have even thanked me for having one on. Also I've used coffee grounds. Put it in a cup of coffee filter and place in patients room or the root c...

And I mean above and beyond in the patients definition. Most healthcare staff do all they can and then more, but for some people this isn't enough. Also I feel the world client usually goes hand in hand with the phrase "you're here to make me happy"
