1. Doctors Without Borders Interview

   AlexandrAnne replied to dg05's topic in General Nursing

   I know this thread is relatively old... but I was actually wondering what organization you were working with if you don't mind me asking? I am currently enrolled in LPN school and plan to get to MSF the hard way (LPN-RN Bridge, RN-BSN while working) ...

2. Why do nurses have to be so mean to nursing students?

   AlexandrAnne replied to patty554's topic in General Students

   Honestly... I was a CNA who really disliked nursing students. For almost the same reasons as yajaira21. There were a couple who were very helpful but for the most part, they thought that the CNAs were the facility's dumping ground for tasks they didn...

3. How is it going so far?

   AlexandrAnne replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

   I just started on the 6th - it is absolutely nothing like I expected. My professors are so so supportive, and are very good at making complex theories easy to grasp. I am behind on the reading, studying 5-6hrs a day (from 3-10ish sometimes!), and abo...

4. Official nursing student fall 2011 stand up!!!

   AlexandrAnne replied to adorable42181's topic in General Students

   Agreed. I have bags of ice and a cooler as back-up, and set my freezer on the coldest temp. I'm pretty much expecting a power outage, though.

5. Official nursing student fall 2011 stand up!!!

   AlexandrAnne replied to adorable42181's topic in General Students

   I'm starting in 9 days (and anxiously counting!) I'm sooo nervous. I've read the first two chapters of all of my books, made up notes and flash cards for them and I'm making pre-made meals to put in my freezer so I have more time for studying! Neurot...

   I just received my acceptance letter yesterday! I was soooo nervous!! The mailman was getting a little annoyed at all of the stalking during the past week of waiting, haha. I start in September! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

7. What you'd REALLY like to say....

   AlexandrAnne replied to ICor9:24's topic in CNA/MA

   What I wanted to say when Mrs. Coworker sat there pretending to fill out I+Os while fixing her hair while three call lights (whom she knows is sick residents with loose stools and vomit on the other end of the call button) are going off right in fron...

8. Class starts June 4th, Shoe question?

   AlexandrAnne replied to Lifeswar's topic in CNA/MA

   It really is trial and error. I have some Nike Shox that are really comfy, but I also have some no-name brand running shoes that are almost as comfortable as well. A lot of people like Crocs or Clogs, but I personally cannot stand them.

9. new cna student.

   AlexandrAnne replied to ShawnieBoy's topic in CNA/MA

   Congrats on your GED! I got my GED literally RIGHT before I took my CNA classes. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine!

10. Second Thoughts?!?

    AlexandrAnne replied to AlexandrAnne's topic in CNA/MA

    Yah I'll probably end up looking for a job at a hospital. I know that this job fits me per say, but maybe just not this LTC facility. Thanks :)

11. Second Thoughts?!?

    AlexandrAnne posted a topic in CNA/MA

    *Warning... Rant* Have any of you had second thoughts about being a CNA? I recently graduated and got a job at a great LTC facility. Orientation went great, but I just finished an assignment by myself yesterday and I was in tears by the end of it. I ...
