3. NEW CNA: Running behind on workload! Feel awful!

   panjia replied to panjia's topic in CNA/MA

   I do ask questions when I can, since the other CNAs are running around tryin to do their own thing, so I can't waste my time trying to find them. In between though, I ought to check the charts more frequently. Sometimes, when I'm on my way to check t...

4. NEW CNA: Running behind on workload! Feel awful!

   panjia replied to panjia's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks for your reassurance Mindy. I really don't like missing 1 or 2 patients, because I fear I will certainly get written up, even though I have only been working independently for about 1 week. And well, to be honest, I have left some of my charti...

5. Nurse and CNA/PCT teamwork! Opinions?

   panjia replied to panjia's topic in Relations

   Thank for your response! Good luck in your job hunting! Since I have zero experience working as a CNA, I find that nursing homes are my best place to start. Most hospitals in my area require 1 -2 years of experience. Regarding the idea that CNAs ar...

   panjia replied to panjia's topic in CNA/MA

   Thank you Jack245. I am surprised that nearly all the CNAs, even the ones who have only worked for 1 month, do not need any method of organization such as clipboard. They tell me there is no time to write things down. However, I should remember that ...

   panjia replied to NursingLove4all's topic in General Students

   I failed only one class...automatically dismissed from this BSN program. I don't know if I want to put myself through another nursing school, but I am accepted for ASN program -- waiting 2 years. In the mean time, I'm working as a CNA and volunteerin...

   panjia posted a topic in Relations

   Hi everyone, I'm writing to ask about your opinions regarding the nurses role in participating with tasks that CNAs/PCTs do. Here's one example, I was telling a nursing student that, since I was not successful in nursing school, our nursing instructo...

10. Transportation woes for nursing students

    panjia replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    My mother went through ASN nursing school, while my brother and I were just preschoolers. At times, my dad was able to take her to school and clinicals. However, there were times when she had to take public transportation--sometimes it would take abo...

    panjia replied to panjia's topic in Florida

    Thanks everyone for your responses. :) Kristin.love: I'm sticking with VC too, because yes, FH is so expensive! I'm not sure about that tuition reimbursement deal FH has, because I'm reading some negative things in allnurses.com about how it's not gu...

13. To all the students about to start nursing school...

    panjia replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    Strength: I am going through the same exact thing. After failing out of nursing BSN school, my confidence level sunk. I am now a CNA at a nursing home, to really determine if nursing is right for me. I'm really frustrated that I feel like I have to g...

    panjia replied to SnowbirdinFL's topic in CNA/MA

    Can I just say that I am glad that you posted this, because I have nearly the same exact issue, on the slow-learning part. I wish I was a fast learner. ---------------
