1. Do they count LPN experience re: pay?

   tobimikal replied to Innurse78's topic in Arizona

   This is funny cuz I was just watching the news and there was a big thing about the school nurse shortage in the valley. Apparently schools are starting to hire cna, lpn, paramedics, pretty much anyone to fill the positions and theres an upset as to w...

2. Algebra online????

   tobimikal replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona

   Im going to go against the popular opinion also. I am soooo horrible with math also and I attempted intro algebra with Rio this semester. Two weeks into it I withdrew because I couldnt even grasp the simple concepts. I probably could have stuck with ...

   tobimikal replied to studentnurse3's topic in General Nursing

   I also have 3 kids all under four years old. I have worked graveyards and 2-10. Mine are younger than yours so that may make a difference but it was really hard on them. sounds like they wont have to do much daycare so that would be a plus. It is alw...

4. How do you convice elderly people of certain things?

   tobimikal replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds like your dads not that bad. just a little stubborn. Arent we all!! people his age grew up in the depression and they tend to still have habits from that. Most of them never throw anything away until you throw it away for them and they save mo...

5. Will my CNA license be in jeopardy ?

   tobimikal replied to sfreders's topic in General Nursing

   First let me say that school comes first. That said. The rules for us are very clear. Abandonment is when you walk off a job in the middle of your shift before there is another aide to take over your patients. I would make it clear that I DO NOT agre...

7. Talking to Residents

   tobimikal replied to shy_wolf101's topic in CNA/MA

   I agree. Your classmates sound like jerks to me. Trust me when I say that not only is it okay to ask residents how their feeling, it should be one of your first questions everyday. One of the most important parts of being a CNA is that you MUST know ...

8. Question? Need some info.

   tobimikal replied to JR321's topic in General Nursing

   In most states it depends on what the offense is. Many times you can send the board all the necessary paperwork showing that you did whatever was court ordered and they will make a final decision. There are however some offenses that wont normally wo...

9. need opinions about withdrawing from class

   tobimikal replied to hushpupgrl's topic in General Nursing

   I would say that having a W is better than a bad grade. Also I think this happens to alot of students with online classes. The Sciences are hard classes and many people say that they had a horrible time taking them online. Some people do well in onli...

10. Maricopa Skills Center's Question's

    tobimikal replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona

    If the first 14 weeks are classes only then are there still classes while your in clinicals too. Im confused, is it first half only classes and second half only clinicals or is the second half both?

11. How would you handle this, VERY lazy CNA!

    tobimikal replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    I would just like to say that I am not a nurse, I am a CNA and theres no way that even I would not do anything about her. Although I have no authoritative power over other aides I absolutely have no problem making aides like this lifes a living hell....

    tobimikal replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I just noticed your user name. Are you from the valley? I live in Gilbert. Just wondering what hospital you are applying for because I am going to be applying for a hospital tech job too, just not sure which hospital I have decided on.

13. CNA on Med/Surg Floor?

    tobimikal replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    I dont work in a hospital. I work LTC. I would just like to say that it is perfectly normal to be nervous about changing briefs and doing peri care. Just know that the nervous feelings you have wont last long. You will get over it very quickly. But y...

14. On-call 24/7

    tobimikal replied to pepperann35's topic in General Nursing

    I would say "absolutely, and every time one of my aides calls in I will be sure to call and wake you up in the middle of your night to come in and work the floor since your too cheap to hire enough people to appropriately staff your facility". But th...

15. calling all ED Technicians

    tobimikal replied to tobimikal's topic in CNA/MA

    OMG you are wonderful. Thank you so much. I think I am going to take the class first so that I dont feel like absolutely everything is new. I am really excited because I am really bored with ADL's only. I knew that the ER would be completely differen...
