  1. What floor did you like best as a CNA/PCT?

    iamalagirl replied to Randrews8902's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi! I was CNA when I was in RN program. I think it is great idea to work as a CNA while you are pursuing your dream career. I learned a lot and CNA experience looked great on the resume once I started...

  2. Should I quit?

    iamalagirl replied to iamalagirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes... I just gave my manager 2-week notice to leave the hospital... I had 22 patients (entire floor) by myself on my last shift. I was the only CNA in the unit (one of tele units) during the day. I...

  3. ADN program: Total circus

    iamalagirl replied to futureadn2019's topic in School, College Programs

    I graduated from RN program in a community college in CA and felt the same way as you do throughout the program. The most of professors were unorganized and unsupportive. Some had weird rules about...

    iamalagirl replied to prettywishes's topic in General Students

  7. People are telling me that I should not tell people that I want to be a Nurse

    iamalagirl replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    I don't think it makes any difference for you to tell your classmates about your dream to be an RN. I think it WILL make your job difficult if you tell your CNA co-workes you want to go to (or you...

  8. Should I quit?

    iamalagirl replied to iamalagirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wannabenurseneko, Yes, I should run away as soon as possible from the hospital. In my unit and other units I float sometimes, I can see that the most of RNs are really young... like "I just graduated...

  9. Should I quit?

    iamalagirl replied to iamalagirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes Vitabrevis1, I totally understand that! It seems like the hospital doesn't care about staff members. When they let go many CNAs, they let go from those who had been working for years, like over...
