1. Semester Starts Monday...what Do I need

   kenyacka replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I can't live without index cards. Hint: I cut them in half if it's just for vocabulary words or something. Then they last longer and take up less space in my purse. (I carry them with me everywhere so when I have extra time waiting at the doctor's of...

2. Financial aid suspension

   kenyacka replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sorry, I just saw that you were approved. That's great! This will just be another bump in the road that you'll look back on at graduation and feel so proud of yourself for getting through. :)

3. Financial aid suspension

   kenyacka replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's a case by case basis. I dropped too many classes 10 years ago (lol) and lost my financial aid and appealed, but was still denied... however... I dropped because I was stupid, not for a good reason. If it does get denied, you'll have to find a wa...

   kenyacka replied to honeyrose29's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Only you know what you can handle. I'm still in the early stages of my prereqs, and this semester, I am taking Anatomy with lab, Political Science, History, College 100 (silly required 1 hour course), and also a Math prep course through the library. ...

5. Compass test

   kenyacka replied to medical123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am taking a course through my library that's free. It's actually a GED study prep, but it teaches the same thing that the compass tests for. It's a 6 week course all online. You might could see if your library does that also? You can also call your...

7. Free time for night shifts for CNA and Nurse

   kenyacka replied to flod's topic in CNA/MA

   In a hospital you usually have a good one to two hours of downtime. As a cna I've worked all floors. Some nights of course are busier, but a lot of students work nights so they can study. (12 hour shifts)

8. How long does it take to receive your CNA Certificate in the mail?

   kenyacka replied to allisonnicole23's topic in CNA/MA

   Sorry, I didn't answer your question. Once I was in the system, I got the certificate about a week later. Ours were mailed to our school, then we picked them up there, so it may have gotten to me sooner, I don't know.

9. How long does it take to receive your CNA Certificate in the mail?

   kenyacka replied to allisonnicole23's topic in CNA/MA

   Once you're in the system, you're fine. The certificate is more of a souvenir in my state (Missouri).

10. Forgot to wash hands when washing scrubs

    kenyacka replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in CNA/MA

    You will eventually have an amazing immune system. I wouldn't sweat it, just don't make it a habit!

11. Advice about Clinical

    kenyacka replied to theviolinist's topic in General Students

    That comes with time! Im a cna and I used to get butterflies and be soft spoken every time I walked into a patient's room. Now it's second nature and I don't think twice. You'll overcome this!

12. CNA rant....why did I become a CNA

    kenyacka replied to downsouthlaff's topic in CNA/MA

    I work as a cna in a hospital right beside nurses. Trust me, you'll still be doing baths and cleaning poop as a nurse. Not as much, but you still do. You get yelled at more as a nurse because you control the meds. If you hate being a cna, you'll prob...

13. Nursing student got CNA job!

    kenyacka replied to sduncan86's topic in CNA/MA

    I'm so glad I decided to work as a cna. I've learned so much just by being in that environment. Offer to help the nurses with procedures as much as possible during downtime (which is rare lol) and ask questions. Sometimes just holding a scared patien...

14. Wow I feel stupid!

    kenyacka replied to FutureCRNA?'s topic in CNA/MA

    Don't feel bad, it happens to the best of us. Did they check it off?

15. Is having a CNA job give you a better chance to get hired as an RN?

    kenyacka replied to rojas12's topic in CNA/MA

    Most of the nurses on my unit started as techs on my unit.
