The best part about being a CNA idk where to start. I love doing what I do and I can't wait for more responsibility once I become a nurse. I love my residents, they make me smile constantly, I love making them smile, I love a majority of my coworkers...

The low pay for the amount of work that we're doing. I'm still in school and getting ready to start nursing school. I'm struggling to pay my bills as is and the stress of this job does not help.

Usually it's the ones that are the most mouthy that get so set in their ways that they make frequent mistakes. I just started a job and the girl who orientated me is a mouthy little thing that irks the entire hell out of my nerves apparently she thou...

You're def going to need a laptop. I'm in the process of looking for one myself. I'd love to own a MacBook and if I can before i start nursing school I'm definitely going for it. I was also looking at Hp as well. Check with the computer websites most...
Technically you really aren't supposed to do it but being the caring person you are I see why you did it. I've been tempted myself to do things like that too. However you should alert social services at your job as well as your nurse manager so that ...

Micro can definitely make you or break you. Flash cards, and taping lectures helped me a lot. Also study groups helped me too (make sure they're with the right people though) things will get better. I wish you the best of luck!!!
Ha I'm a student, a CNA, an aunt, a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend, a church goer on a regular basis for my own sanity, and my list extends so much further lol. Idk where I've made any time for me at all lately

Study your concepts. I know that I've had a tough micro teacher who made sure that we understood why this was happening instead of just knowing what's happening. Flash cards with diagrams help a lot. I also used the website that was listed in my book...

I used the book to study it was really helpful for reviewing word roots for vocabulary and reviewing sciences I hadn't seen since high school like physics and chemistry. I borrowed the book from a friend since I refused to pay $50 for a test that onl...
