  • NORTH WHAT???????????????????????????????????
  • i am a resident of nd and as i get older, i appreciate it more and more.
    like the poster above said, the badlands are actually really fun. my hometown is a little more than 30 mins. away and we love to go there in the summer for the day.
    the badlands and medora are synonomous. if you like meat, check out the pitchfork fondue, where they use a pitchfork to deepfry steak. sounds greasy (it is) but its fun to meet other tourists from all over the country and canada. after that, there’s the medora musical and the grogeous amphitheater in the hills. there’s the cowboy hall of fame, theodore roosevelt national park, horse rides and maah daah hey trail (which my boyfriend helped build!). You must go to the chateau de mores, i’ve been there like 6 times in the past 3 years. so much to do for such a small town. you’ll love it.
    east about 30 mins. is dickinson, nd. my hometown and a place to some shopping and eating. 40 mins. north is killdeer and the killdeer mtns. the medecine hole is the famous attraction there. just further north is sakakawea lake to do some boating, fishing and camping.
    further east, bismarck and mandan have more shopping and eating as well as ferry rides on the missouri and the best zoo in nd.
    on the very eastern edge, fargo and grand forks have their scenic campuses (i prefer ndsu in fargo, well, cuz i pay $10,000 a year to make it look nice) and many attractions to take part in there. there’s all sorts of museums, zoos and attractions here. concerts at the fargo dome or alerus center. i-29 is a nice scenic drive along the red river.
    nd isn’t the barren, remote backwards state everyone believes it to be. there are genuine people here with proud cultural traditions. guarentee you’ll find some of the nicest people around in nd.
  • What you call fun & what I call fun could be two different things.
    1. Visit the Badlands, yes North Dakota has them also.
    2. Visit & hike the many trails of the T. Roosevelt National Park, Exit 24 or 27 I-94
    3. Visit the many Indian Reservations such as Turtle Mountain, Fort Berthold Indian Agency, Fort Totten the list goes on and on.
    Stop in and see if there is anything “YOU” can do to help these indians plight. Ask if you can volunteer in some capacity.
    In Bismark, visit Lewis & Clark displays concerning the Missouri River.
    Explore Minot and the area. See if you can figure out what goes on at Minot AFB and return.
    Visit Fargo site of the famed movie “Fargo”.
    I didn’t think too much of North Dakota until I visited it. There are many beautiful sites in the state.

  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    I’m going to school to become an LPN. You have more opportunities, better money and flexibility. Girl, you will have it made in the shade when you get your degree. I know I will =)
  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    There are more CNA jobs than there are LPN jobs, but LPN’s make more money. Both require schooling, CNA is a short training program, and LPN is a 2 year college program. CNA’s take a state registry test to get certified and LPN sit for state test to get licensed.

    A CNA does really most all of the labor in nursing homes and hospitals, but LPN’s are higher in the chain of command than CNA’s. There is only one thing lower than them and they are trained NA’s! If your going to go to school in nursing, become a CNA first. It doesn’t take that long and it looks good to add that to your resume or something when you apply for school to study LPN. LPN’s do lots of paper work and record everything. They don’t totally have to do what CNA’s do but then again… even they have to do work sometimes. CNA’s and NA’s do all the heavy duty lifting, thankless feeding, turning, toileting, showering and all that fun stuff. I didn’t hate being a CNA, but along with the good days were the bad days!
  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    some places are phasing out lpns and it is hard as any new grad to obtain employment in a medical field without previous medical experience. CNAs make very little money and it is back breaking work. Some nursing homes are hiring CNAs and will actually put you through a CNA program of their own design for free. I figured that because of the “nursing shortage” that it would be fairly easy for me to obtain a job after I graduated, but most places are saying they want one year of experience before they will hire a new grad. and there are many many many people looking for jobs everywhere. i guess it depends on where you are living. depending on your academic goals, and your location, you should also see how long the waiting lists are to get into whatever program you are looking for because many nursing programs have looooong waiting lists
  • Which Would Be More Valuable When Searching For A Job, Lpn Or Cna?
    LPN, more money and more opportunities, you will also be able to work a more flexible schedule, such as a weekend Baylor in which you would work 2–12 hour shifts on Sat/Sun and get paid for 36 hours.
