1. Not sure how to be CNA

   Clover19 replied to Murse4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

4. Getting paranoid about nitty gritty (HELP!!)

   Clover19 replied to Hopefulnurse1823's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I just try to keep in mind that people are more likely to share their bad experiences than not. There are tons of nurses out there who love their jobs and just aren't telling about it online! I say...

5. CNA vs. NA

   Clover19 replied to FutureNurse808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   I don't think it would be frowned upon. Even if you aren't certified, you're still gaining experience and putting a foot in the door! Every facility is different, but where I'm from, nurse aids are...

   Clover19 replied to Isthisright's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   The nursing program at my school is similar to this as well. A year and a half of prereqs, then the actual nursing classes begin your 4th semester. Clinicals are the last 2 years. Every school is...

9. Anatomy and Physiology

   Clover19 replied to Ciara4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I agree with the above posters to retake A&P 1 before taking 2. Although you learn about different organs and body systems in A&P 2, there are still a lot of foundational things you need to...

10. Time for a therapist?

    Clover19 replied to Toaster2k18's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I agree with both of the previous posters. It's not healthy to hold all your emotions inside & always deal with things on your own. It sounds like therapy would be a good thing for

13. Need help with manual blood pressure readings

    Clover19 replied to joytotheworld21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am still a student & not a nurse yet, but I agree with this!! If I am having trouble hearing a pulse, sometimes it's easier to watch the needle jump on the meter than actually hear

14. Will this ever happend for me?

    Clover19 replied to futurernFK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know the program at my university limits you to retaking a class 3 times, but every school is different so I can't speak for yours! If I were you I'd sit down with my advisor and they can tell you...
