1. Nursing School Rejection Letters

   blessed2bfree posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   For those of you that have received rejection letters for your nursing program, I have a question. Does your school give you a reason? The two schools I applied for is based on a point system. One of the schools let me know exactly what point rang...

2. Sexual advances from a resident

   blessed2bfree posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I have been caring for this man for about a week now. He has been very nice to me and would occasionally flirt, but I didn't think anything of it. The other day I was finishing up doing perineal care on him and he asked me for a hug. I told him no, a...

3. What grosses you out?

   blessed2bfree replied to lilbearzmom's topic in CNA/MA

   Definately oral care. The spitting into the emesis basin with food particles kills me. I can think about it and gag. Fingernail care is bad, too. I'll take anything else.

4. LPN Curriculum

   blessed2bfree posted a topic in LPN-RN

   I'm trying to understand what courses an LPN has to take to be an RN. I used to be in RN school and was dismissed from the program half way through it. I was not given the opportunity to challenge the NCLEX-PN. I did not get to take Mental Health or ...

   blessed2bfree posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I have been working part time in a LTC facility for a couple of weeks. This is my first CNA job. I have to care for 6-8 residents on my shift. This job is extremely hard for me. I'm constantly drinking because I get so thirsty in there. We not only h...

   blessed2bfree replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm seriously thinking about applying for the LPN program for this fall. I was in the ADN program back in 2009 but didn't make it. Congradulations to you all.

9. Nursing student CNAs passing meds in ALF

   blessed2bfree posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have always thought that passing meds was only in the scope of practice for nurses. I've been seeing a lot of threads on med techs, and just learned that CNAs with special training can pass meds in ALFs. I was just wondering about the CNAs that are...

    Good luck to you! You will do fine. I'm a little nervous about my first day, too. But I know it will all be worth it in the end.

11. Do you all think med aides are bad idea?

    blessed2bfree replied to blocp's topic in Geriatric

    I'm a CNA and I had two semesters of Nursing School. I took pharmacology and administered meds (parental and oral) in clinicals. I wonder if that would be training enough for me to be a med aide? Just wondering...

    blessed2bfree posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hey guys! I've never posted anything on the CNA board-this is my first time. I am a former nursing student that didn't quite make it through the obstacles of nursing school. I think a lot of my problem was lack of confidence in myself. After getting ...

14. Need some advice...fast

    blessed2bfree posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have an interview at the hospital tomorrow for a PCA position. The problem is the roads around here are a sheet of ice. This is the south, so we don't get out much in this kind of weather. So my question is...should I try to make it for this interv...

15. Physical Assessment and Care plans

    blessed2bfree posted a topic in General Students

    Can you do a good careplan without taking a physical assessment class? At our school, which is an ADN program, we don't take a physical assessment class until third semester. We done careplans in second semester and used data from the patient's chart...
