3. Nursing Home Humor

   maureenlynn posted a topic in Humor

   A friend emailed this to me today and I thought you guys might get a kick out of it. I hope it hasn't been posted before. An old man, Mr. Goldstein, was living the last of his life in a nursing home. One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed...

4. I'm sorry, I need to vent and don't know where to go

   maureenlynn replied to maureenlynn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you, everyone! I really appreciate the support! Athena, I will definitely check out SoftScript. Maybe I can get the other girls to switch there, too because they are all tired of being treated like slaves. Thank you!

5. I'm sorry, I need to vent and don't know where to go

   maureenlynn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   This has nothing to do with nursing, so I apologize. I'm working for this medical transcription company part time from home. I love the hours, because I can go to school, then come home and work. BUT, now there's a big problem. They have not paid...

   maureenlynn replied to lindy777's topic in Stress 101

   maureenlynn replied to DesertRain's topic in CNA/MA

   My big goal is to be a NP. But, I plan on taking the long road to that. I want to be an RN first, do a couple of years in the ER to get some experience, then go on to gastroenterology. After that, I want to have kids and do the stay-at-home mom th...

8. UGH....About that CNA test.....

   maureenlynn replied to jlynnw's topic in CNA/MA

   The lady I had was very nice. About the 5 skills. For my test, it said that I had to do 5 skills as well, but two of them were handwashing and indirect care (patient privacy, knocking on the door, that sort of thing). My 3 other skills were measur...

9. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

   maureenlynn replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

   You know, I was scared to death on my first day of clinicals for the CNA class. I was worried that I would gag or crinkle my nose when changing a brief or something like that, but in all honesty, it's not as bad as you think. Instead of thinking of...

    maureenlynn replied to maureenlynn's topic in CNA/MA

    I had trouble with blood pressure, too. My husband bought me a BP cuff with a built in stethescope when I was done with the program. So I just practiced on everyone! You'll do fine! Just practice as much as you can.

15. OCC graduates?

    maureenlynn posted a topic in Michigan

    Hi, I'm considering transferring from Washtenaw C.C over to Oakland C.C so that I can actually get into the nursing program soon and I hear O.C.C. does not have a waitlist. Soooo, did anyone out there graduate from Oakland? If so, how was the progr...
