7. 17 year old Aspiring Male Nurse

   GSOnurse replied to copib2's topic in Male Students

   I would suggest becoming a CNA first. You should easily be able to handle the trainging for this. Some states allow you to challenge the CNA exam, without having any training. If this is the case in your state, I am sure that you mother could show...

   I had a little old lady tell me that I had a "goat head." What does that even mean?

10. NC CNA testing sites?

    GSOnurse replied to bmelissa's topic in CNA/MA

    I took my exam in Greensboro. It was stressful, but I passed. I suggest that you study the manual that the state provides. It tells you everything that you need to know. There are also videos on youtube that you can watch.

11. SMELL

    GSOnurse replied to klt324's topic in CNA/MA

    You will probably get used to the smell of BMs. I just finished A&P I. All of my lab partners were complaining on the smell of the cats were dissecting. For me, it walk a cakewalk, compared to BMs all day. One thing that can be worse than a B...

    GSOnurse replied to Jayden8139's topic in CNA/MA

    I am in NC. In NC we do have a position called Medication Aide. I believe that these employees can distribute some medications. If your friend is passing meds, injecting insulin, etc, she should be a nurse! Your friend could be in real trouble if...

13. New Grad Murses having an easier time finding jobs?

    GSOnurse replied to Age1's topic in Male Students

    If you can manage to work as a CNA during nursing school, I would reccomend it. Even if you are PRN or Relief. At least you would be in the system. Your chances are most likely higher at a location where you are already employed. I will be starti...

14. CNA position as a stepping stone into nursing?

    GSOnurse replied to MissMcCoy's topic in CNA/MA

    I decided that I wanted to be a nurse, after my wife was in the hospital for 2 weeks. At the time, it was too later for me to apply for the accelerated program that was starting in 1 month. So, I decided to go challenge the NC state CNA exam. I pa...

15. CNA Job - Should I take it?

    GSOnurse replied to jesskidding's topic in CNA/MA

    I would suggest that you do any CNA work. If you plan to do home health after nursing school, then take the job with Bayada. If you don't want to work in home health, try to find a job in a hospital or nursing home. Any of these places should work...
