  1. I feel a bit nervous about my math and science skills going into prerequisites, I know if I really had worked hard in past schooling I would've had perfect grades but I was very lazy. I'm just nervous, that may not be the case at all and I may acctua...
  2. Hi, i have recently accepted a job as a DSP at a group home for disabled adults. I wanted to try it out before committing to a costly CNA program. A lot of CNA duties are included in training. i.e. utilizing a hoyer, bed baths, tube feeding, and cha...

  6. American nurse in Europe, specifically Switzerland?

    Lets keep in mind in order to legally work in Europe, you must be an EU citizen, unless you get some sort of visa via marriage or a company asks to employ you. Its very complex, and at the moment the UK is one of the only countries with a massive lac...

  13. What is a 24h shift like?

    I don't r really have any obligations, no kids, husband, etc.. it would just be work
  20. I have been researching, and from what I am reading it's getting increasingly more difficult for new grads to find jobs, and it concerns me even though I would love to go to nursing school and eventually become an RN, but I am worried about employmen...
  21. I am doing exactly that, just because of my worries of finding a job in any sector of work, I will only be completing an ADN, since it is also very affordable... if it all works out, gen I would continue on to a BSN.
  22. Yes, in CT, it is considered equivalent, and thats what I considered as a big point in my decision making, unfortunately the course is very expensive around here, and if i could become a CNA during NS maybe it may not be worth dishing out the money
  23. The CNA courses in my area Cost from $1000-$1500 So I don't know if it would be worth dishing out that money now for the experience, or waiting till after the first semester of NS? Opinions?
  24. The programs near me don't require it at all, and they don't really mention anything about getting CNA cert but I am sure it would benefit. I am working as a waitress, and make pretty decent money doing so, I would be able to take the CNA course duri...
  25. Well I do want to work in health care not in any type of office job, it's just that securing a job after studying is the whole point in even studying, so if in any course of study you have to be worried about finding a job after, it's probably not wo...
