1. Is not answering the phone for work bad?

   Clarifier S'il vous replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Nursing

   When I read this, I had to ask myself if I wrote this while I was really tired, LOL. At any rate, I personally do not think it's bad not to answer. There have been too many times I have answered or called back to tell them I'm sorry, but I can't work...

2. Brand new CNA - tips?

   Clarifier S'il vous replied to Laura_G_in_ID's topic in CNA/MA

   Congratulation on landing your first CNA job! BTW: We both have the same ultimate goal of becoming a CNM. Pretty cool! Always carry a good pen, your staffing sheet (if your facility has these), a pocket full of clean gloves, and some breath mints (l...

3. First day of CNA Orientation- what to expect???

   Clarifier S'il vous replied to xxCourt96xx's topic in CNA/MA

   I know you posted this a few days ago, but just wanted to offer some insight. I think orientation can make the job seem more difficult than it actually is. For me, it was harder to watch someone do something over and over than it was to actually do i...

   You're welcome. Good luck! :)

5. Breastfeeding and Suspected Pregnancy - Vaccines for CNA Program

   Clarifier S'il vous replied to NaturesMedicine's topic in CNA/MA

   I see you have already received some excellent advice. Another option would be to have titers done. If you have health insurance, it may or may not be covered. If you have to pay for this, it is a bit pricey, but it may be worth it to avoid any unnec...

6. CEU Changes in CA

   Clarifier S'il vous posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I became a CNA in Dec 2014. All of my classmates and I are/were pre-nursing students. We were told at that time by our instructors that our nursing prerequisite courses would count toward our CEUs. At least 12 of the required 48 units had to be compl...

7. Nurse Assistant Exam

   Clarifier S'il vous replied to IHeartNursing_86's topic in CNA/MA

   That does suck! Maybe you can take a shorter course or find a facility you wouldn't mind working in for a year or so pay for your training. I'm sorry this is happening but just imagine how well you will do the second time around. You'll have everythi...

8. I feel out of place in class.

   Clarifier S'il vous replied to Impossible_To_Tell's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm so glad to hear the positive updates from you! Sounds like you are doing much better than you had expected. I also like the advice that your instructors are not calling you out so much as creating a learning opportunity for everyone. Try not to t...

9. I feel out of place in class.

   Clarifier S'il vous replied to Impossible_To_Tell's topic in CNA/MA

   Well, I think you just need a kick in the pants, LOL. I'm in the same boat. It was more important for me to raise my family and I did that as long as I possibly could as a stay at home mom but there came a time when I needed to do more to support my ...

10. Proper way to quit an on-call position?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Tacomaboy3's topic in CNA/MA

    I remember reading on here that you should just not be available for the minimum amount of shifts required for your position. It is sort of a default way of quitting. Essentially, it is like issuing a passive resignation and creates an automatic term...

11. Intimidated

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    I'mma tellin' ya! Sucks to find that out way too late.

12. Intimidated

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely plan ahead for this idea. I know a lot of students who went to a private LVN program (same as LPN in other states) and later found out the information provided by the school was not exactly accurate as far as being able to easily transfer ...

13. Was I being a bully?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Slipping CMA's topic in CNA/MA

    Oh, I totally get it. I work for someone like that in home care and it drives me up the wall constantly. For example, I will be just about to do something within my normal routine and she will tell me to do it, even when it is obvious I am just about...

14. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My last prerequisite for the ADN program I'm on the waiting list for: Microbiology; 5 units. Also, a resume writing class, which only takes place on two Saturdays; 1 unit.
