Anyone successfully challenge the boards?

Published

I have a degree in respiratory therapy, yet am having a hard time finding a job. I am working as a cna, going on my 7th year and I was hoping rt would be my next step up....unfortunately it's not working that way and I am considering challenging the boards via method 3.

Has anyone successfully done this? What tips do you have?

But it is about you, you made it about you. If you won't discuss your work/education history it must rather shady.

It's shady to ask people to share their experience with a licensure method??? Lol.

The point of the post was just that. Do I need to word it differently? Streamline it maybe?

Here:

Has anyone challenged the CA boards via method 3? If so, please share your experience.

Is it clearer now?

Organized Chaos, you seem like a cool nurse to work for. I'm a CNA/PCT and I know better then to step outside my job description.

Awww thanks! You seem like a dope ass PCT! [emoji38]

You made this all about you but you refuse to inform any of us about your previous work or education history. There is nothing wrong with telling people about it, unless you have something to hide.

What are you talking about? I made it all about me? By posting a short, bland thread asking for people who have done this to share info? And then when people started asking irrelevant questions and taking everything I said out of context I reiterated my original question instead of spilling 100% of my life story and making it all about me? Lol. Get some sleep.

When you would go on & on about how you would educate, correct & fix what doctors & RNs were doing. You went on & on about about it. If you don't remember, I'll show you.

You really jump to conclusions, don't you? I didn't go on and on. You call one post going on and on? Any subsequent post was in response to you....asking irrelevant question after irrelevant question and making assumptions. Now you are "going on and on" about me helping people at work. Yeah I told an rn to stop when she was hurting a patient. She didn't realize her mistake, she was mortified when she realized, she thanked me for stopping her. Yes I have been asked by my prior charge nurse to educate the floor. So what? The hospital I worked at was full of amazing people who shared each other's knowledge and showed each other how to do things, explained things to one another and worked together as a great team. It was amazing working there. People didn't disrespect you because of your job title. Yes I told a med student they were working on the wrong area of a patient. You know who asked me to explain that to them? Their lead physician who is a close friend of mines husband and whom was in the room. Traveling I got to see a lot of facilities with disrespectful nurses and unhappy cnas, but my cna days were great and when I transferred to RT those days were great too. But I had to move and no longer get to work in a learning hospital or as an rt. Oh well.

Never was I out of my scope of practice. It's not as if I performed the procedures myself. Knowing how to do them is not out of scope. Working with a staff who quizzes and teaches each other was my blessing and because of them I know far more than I ever would have if I had worked elsewhere. BUT none of that even matters in regards to my post....because all I asked was for experienced people to share their insight.

You did go on & on (it was NOT one post) you made several posts about it, then got mad when we didn't didn't know what you were talking about. Just like you are going on & on about the same post.

Teaching & educating RNs & MDs, unless it is it is on how to give a bed bath, turn a patient or other things that fall within the CNAs scope of practice are all outside the CNAs scope of practice.

By the way, you did say you did show how to do procedures to RNs & MDs.

.....you brought it up....lol but I'm going on and on?

I remedied this by going back to the point of this post and asking you to share your method 3 experience...but you couldnt....because you have none. So here we are....again. because you brought it up....again.

Regardless of how you feel, it's done. It happened. No one was hurt, angry, offended, or perceived to be out of line. Who cares. I did not perform any procedures, i simply stated when they werent being done correctly. I will question whoever I want. I will correct whoever I want. I have corrected state surveyors in the past. As an RT i showed rns how to suction, how to adjust vent settings, how to care for trachs etc. Who cares. I have received nothing but positive feedback from coworkers and supervisors, a random person on the Internet is not going to sway me lol. I hope you have other posts to troll on, I'm going to bed, I have work tomorrow.

A troll? Says the person who just made their profile today. Actually, people did think you were rude & out of line. You just zero'd in on me.

Yes, I brought it up because it has to do with the fact that you won't bring up your education/work history.

I didn't make my profile today. I've had this account since april, never used it except to read until I posted this question. I didn't touch any settings or fill out anything at all today whatsoever.

And for the millionth time: going into detail about my situation is not necessary to hear other people's experiences. Sigh.

Goodnight lol
