   I too was diagnosed as an adult (in my 40's). My son was dx'd when he was in second grade and he is now 21 yoa. I found out while taking Adipex to try to lose some weight that my head was clear for once in my life. I could actually concentrate on the...

   I will have my pinning on Dec 8, 2006 and our instructors said it is when nurses (instructors) welcomes me into their profession. I think it is wonderful and I am looking forward to every minute of it.

13. what the heck are medical assistant schools doing !

    cjohn99 replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    emtrachel, I am in total agreement with you. Like I said on a previous message, a MA is taught whatever is needed for the specific office she is working at after graduation. Since GN's graduate with the basics of nursing they have to learn on the job...

    cjohn99 replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    "GRUNT WORK"? Please! The world is big enough for everyone, don't you think? Why should a MD pay $30 an hour for a nurse when they can spend less on a CMA doing the job they were also trained to do? If the MA does the same job as a nurse in the offic...
