    At my school we are on a different grading scale than most. It is the standard as in grade school. So a 71 is a D and a low one at that. When I woke up this morning I never thought my day would turn out like this.

  10. Are you an organ donor?

    I am a donor. My mom donated a kidney to her sister and it has saved her life for over ten years now. I recently donated blood and I asked others in my class if they had ever donated. One girl told me no and that she never would because they don't ...

  13. Do you wear an undershirt???

    I sweat like crazy. I am just doing my CNA clinicals and have found that wearing a thin tank top helps absorb the moisture and cools me off when I get a few minutes to chill. LOL.
  14. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    Congrats to you. We had to do our skills in front of our instructor and I was so nervous on my first skill, assisting with a bedpan, I placed the bedpan wrong. She let me do it again and I placed it wrong again. We are doing clinicals starting Wed...
