  1. About 2 years ago, I was working part-time as a CNA and going to school full time in Nursing School. I got a D the first semester and they kicked me out of the school. It was the most traumatic experience of my life. I have changed a lot since then...
  2. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    yep this is why i quit nursing school and switched to a major that had some consistency and well...logic
  3. This is a hard decision ^_^;;

    I took the CNA program and it did not help me at all when I went to nursing school.
  4. the smell of code brown

    The only thing I can tell you is that you will get used to it. Just a few things to do... If the resident has a bm in a depends, close the depends, put it in a trash bag, tie up the trash bag...then put it out of the facility asap. If the resident ha...
  5. NEGLECT during Night shift

    Hi everyone. I worked this morning in a dementia unit at my facility with just one other coworker (we were short by 2 people). I was filling in because 2 other people did not show up...I usually work 3-11. This is just horrible what I saw when I cam...
  6. I want to be a nurse because it opens so many different doors to helping other people... Especially the counseling part. I had school Monday to thursday, 5 hours on Monday, about 4 hours on Thursday, 8 hour clinical on tuesday, and then 3 hours on We...
  7. CNAs and weight

    I think that article really is insulting. But I guess it was just an article and not an actual study...it doesn't mean anything. When they go out and weigh people and get their BMI's and all that...then maybe they'll have some back up.
  8. I am so frustrated at my new job!!!!!

    I don't understand the bag thing...don't they have trash cans in every room?
  9. So I got accepted into a nursing program for Fall 2008, and I went throughout the whole first semester until the final, but then I found out that I had failed the first semester..and currently I am just working as a CNA, and I'm not even sure if I wa...
  10. I wish we had carts like the nurses!

    I have learned that...anything with wheels qualifies as a cart. I borrow the kitchen's cart when its time to pass snack or for the residents who eat meals in their rooms. And there are TONS of carts (or thingies with wheels) downstairs in the laundry...
  11. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    Why is there 2 aides on one floor with 7 residents that need to be changed and I am on the floor by myself with 10 residents that need to be changed? I am in AL and not counting the once who don't need to be changed...
  12. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    Oh...I just want to say: You are not the only resident that lives here. Do not scream down the all because you want "attention" or want to go downstairs after 20 minutes of being in your room when I asked you where you want to be. I can't eat your f...
  13. Since when are nurse aides not supposed to AIDE the nurses??

    What does DON stand for?
  14. Pre-entrance Exam.

    Can anyone tell me what topics to cover mostly on my pre-entrance exam for LPN? "Pre-admission testing on verbal ability, mathematics, and science is required." This is only what it says about the topics, it does not go into depth about how much scie...
  15. ?'s about NVCC

    Well if you don't have to take anything my advise is to take all (or as many as you can) non-nursing classes before you get into the program (psy 201, 202, a humanities class like medical ethics, english 111, HLT 250 and hlt 141). These will probab...
