   ashleypoo22 replied to Lil_Mama4sho1's topic in NCLEX

   Go back to your old HESI tests and find your weak areas. Print off a remediation packet that has info pertaining to all your weaker areas, and study that. Try the Qbank if you got it. Don't study too hard!

4. LPN stopped at 85

   ashleypoo22 replied to planogal's topic in NCLEX

   My test also shut off at 85 questions, and it only took me an hour to complete. I thought for sure I failed because it went so fast I didn't think I put enough thought into the questions. I got my results 2 days later and I passed. Don't stress!

5. The roughest week ever

   ashleypoo22 replied to 89**11's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   As you get closer to graduating it seems too good to be true. I was 4 weeks from graduating when I freaked out and let everything fall apart. I took some time for myself and it helped me realize that being a nurse was my destiny, and I went back, ret...

6. Why do so many nursing homes fire CNAs all the time?

   ashleypoo22 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in CNA/MA

   At my old facility, the main reason for firing the aides is because they were always late or called in a lot. But I found some others... transferring without a gaitbelt will get you canned...even if no one knows about it, the resident will tell their...

7. Why do you work in a(n) LTC facility?

   ashleypoo22 replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in CNA/MA

   I liked working in LTC because I developed bonds with a lot of people...I knew what to expect everyday and I had a routine, and I knew the residents' routines. I knew exactly who would be on their call light right at 9pm and I knew what they wanted b...

8. Is it AAOx3 or A&Ox3

   ashleypoo22 replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

   Either way whoever reads that will know what it means. Go by what your teacher says though. I usually write A/Ox3, and I've seen nurses at the hospital during my clinicals write it this way.

9. How expensive is your program?

   ashleypoo22 replied to ZanatuBelmont's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I paid about $18,000 for a 12 month program at a private school. That included books and NCLEX fees, I just had to pay for the uniforms.

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

    ashleypoo22 replied to ICor9:24's topic in CNA/MA

    When I assist residents to stand and they slap me away saying they can do it themselves...Well why do you think you're here? Because you NEED the assistance! Also, to the aides: replace the liner in the trash can when you take the trash out!

11. what do cnas do on med/surg floors@ hosptials?

    ashleypoo22 replied to jr3650sp's topic in CNA/MA

    CNA's on med-surg floors, where I've been, do I&O, pass trays, fill water pitchers, ambulate, transport, computer charting, bathe, and change linens daily. Same as LTC but easier I think.
