Hello to all. I start my program on the 27th and I was curious to know how is it going so far for those who have started before me?

READ THE BOOK!!!! I can't tell you how many students I saw that thought they could get past by just reading the power points and the notes. In my A&P 1 class I read the book and finished with an...

To madsmom1.... it was very traumatizing. I think the worst part wasn't seeing him or all the mess but the utter despair and hopelessness and shock of his friends when he got shot. They were...

I just want to reassure you all that I absolutely assessed the scene first, not just rushed in naively. From what I saw, it was clear, and evidently I'm still here so I made the right choice. He was...

I definately made sure the scene was safe first by asking his friends if the gunman was gone. Once they assured me he was, I ran to help him. Unfortunately, he died this afternoon. But the quick...

Thank you all for you responses. It helped comfort me so much. I spoke to a friend and he said to me that thanks to a nurse, the boy is in the hospital in critical condition. He didn't know that...

I am a c.n.a/ starting nursing student and I got my first taste of some critical care tonight. Long story short a young boy got shot on my block and I ran to the scene to help him(couldn't help it,...

I am a CNA in a nursing home working the 3rd shift. We have one resident who rings the bell at 2 in the morning asking for hot water for tea. She is alert. But on psych meds and has a unsteady gait....

To make a long story short, I will be in school a year longer than expected for pre reqs due to a setback in my GPA from 10 years ago. I have decided to take additional courses that apply to the P.A...

Yes you can do it. I'm a CNA and I have 4.0 so far. Any job you get can interfere with school if you let it. The good thing about being a CNA is that I get to work overnight shifts on the weekends so...

Well... you said your heart is in NICU. I would just say to follow your heart. What an awesome opportunity to be presented with both options. Weigh them both out carefully (ex.pros and cons list) and...

Once.. I gave a resident her healthshake. She lookd at the box and it said "shake well". She looked at it curiously and said to me,"well it must not be working. Its not shaking at all." Had...

Omg I feel the same way. Tired of having to write essay, research assignments. And math takes the cake for me. I put off statitics till next semester.I watch other students not working as hard all...

Ok this one is very perverted. We have a resident with HIV at our nursing home who is very bothersome often. I dreamt that I was working and he kept following me around bothering me. So I annoyingly...

:mad: This is just boiling me over. I work as a CNA on the 3rd shift. We have a resident here who rings the call bell non-stop. Sometimes if you go in there he will come up with ridiculous reasons...

:clpty:Congratulations on your acceptance:clpty::redbeathe

:) Everything is going great over here. I've been a CNA for about 10 months now, and I LOVE it.:redbeathe Went through all the doubts and worries in the beginning if it was for me or not. There are...

I believe that the "veil" between this world and the next thins or lifts when a person is close to death. And loved ones can be seen and heard by the dying one, waiting to welcome them after they...

I was very nice when I first started my job. Always wanted to help. Thought it would be kind to do something for my residents just to make their day a bit easier. But these people you care for can be...

I work as a CNA and am starting my pre reqs this year. I think the biggest advantage for me as a CNA is the shifts. If you work a 9-5 job during school it will be tough. If you work in a hospital or...

Try yoga or meditation. It really helps to relax your mind and body and gives you a moment to focus on just you. Also try to live in the moment, and not the past. So many times we are physically in...

I do not throw linen on the floor. I always tie the plastic bag to the bedrail so that it hangs, and then put my linens in there. Maybe if its a blanket or something large I wont put it in the bag,...

I don't see why not. If you have the time and the resources, and your heart is into it, go for it! Your not feeling the urge to go back for no reason. There may be some unfinished business for you in...

In the fall I was planning on taking Gen Chem, Eng 101, Psych 100, and MAT 056. But the Math course is 6 non degree credits, so that puts me at 16 credits. I have two children... 9 and 3, support...
