Hey guys I'm looking to see if anyone would be interested in a weekly study group social whether in person or through zoom .. I'm looking to incorporate fun styles to and we can all learn from each other.

OK so I have a question.. im normally one to just believe all patients are my patients.. however it was the way the facility did it.. this facility keeps up nonsense and because I could read that I started my own medical uniform line for my own financial security as well as to prepare for college. Recently I started to wear the pants and the top however I wouldn't sell to anyone in the facility.. a lot of times this one clique talks down to me but I don't really respond bc I know my future plans are greater than a CNA.. Thursday the nurse comes to me between 2:17-2:40 when the shift is over at 3pm telling me I need to shower a patient that's not even mine!! I responded saying it's not my client and it's too late to be providing a shower not to mention I have not taken a break.. she responded saying they're all our patients and she's writing me up because im being insubordinate.. this same nurse wrote me up about a month or so ago saying I didn't do what was asked when indeed I did .. so I'm assuming it's targeting .. however setting clear boundaries is necessary. I asked where is her CNA why can't she shower the patient her response was we asked her to do something else .. meanwhile I watch this same CNA at the desk with that nurse .. so I said I'm not doing it at 2:40 when I get off at 3pm without taking a break..and she went off making up lies etc. when leaving the facility I asked a worker in a high position is that even heard of she confirmed the patient has or had bed bugs recently.. and they may say its all our patients.. so technically they would've sent me into shower a patient with bed bugs and was not planning on telling me .. aaaand she's not my patient.. so it's probably a good thing I set the boundary and said no.. Long story shortened I'm a CNA required to do someone else's patient while they stand at the desk all day .. asked at 2:40 to shower a patient..that isn't my patient.. my response why hasn't the person who had her showered her all day .. response was we asked her to do something else my response the entire shift? They're response.. your refusing .. as they all stand at the desk .. what and how do you respond to this

So technically the school that I'm applying to requires a 77 ??.. clearly they're not even playing because a different school requires a 59 which would mean I passed by the skin of my teeth .. but in order to go to that school I'd have to move to another state .. this is going to be a obstacle ..

If you pass the TEAS exam with a low score is that considered not good or does it not matter? And does the acceptance rates vary for every school ? One school requires a 59 which is a community college.. what were your scores If you passed and don't mind sharing ?

Thank you so much for your reply I think this is more what im looking for .. I've been a CNA and I went to nursing school but had to come out.. However I knew I would go back.. Since then I've hit some financial struggles.. I've worked as a CNA for about 3/4 years and I feel as though I've gotten patient care down. I think its an amazing experience for anyone interested in becoming a nurse.. however I watch all the cnas work double shifts into 16 hr shifts.. and im not saying anything is wrong with that however.. I just kinda feel like if I know I want to go into nursing and im already needing extra shifts to accomodate my financial situation why not work as a phlebotomist on my days off to get the confidence that I need until I can get myself financially correct to return to nursing school ... I didn't realize it was a step backwards because I pesonally obtained phlebotomy after my CNA .. Im new to all this just looking to obtain the confidence so when I do walk into the nursing field I would have already gotten rid of the possible new nurse jitters

So its pointless

Hey I currently have a phlebotomy license that I do not use.. however I've run into some financial issues but I want to take a step forward into nursing ... I've been studying for a REALLLLY long time... My question is since I am in a financial situation should I utilize phlebotomy to gain the confidence for future confidence in starting IVs and simultaneously collecting the finances that I need... or do you think its worthless?.. currently I'm a CNA but I really don't see a purpose in working 209485 hours as a CNA .. does this make sense to anyone ?

I know this is late but how do you find out if you are on this list ? is this still used? what are the ramifications of this blacklist? Why would the employer benefit from using this?

Nobody crickets

Hey guys im fairly new here and was wondering if anyone wanted to participate in a study group once a week on zoom... it'll be a fun way to add input on topics and a easier way to study as opposed to just reading .. Is this at all seemingly interesting to anyone ?

Thank you so much for your input .. Im was eye balling firefighting because you have to be extremely agile.. but I think your information sounds about right because I know they require 24 hour shifts. one would have to require a backseat to the other. Very demanding careers. But im still interested nonetheless.

Has anyone ever been gone into nursing by firefighting. . Im considering trying firefighting and switching to Nursing later on in my life is this unheard of? Im currently a CNA and im facing all kinds of drama .. currently a agency refused to staff me.. its almost like discrimination of some sort .. Im not sure whats actually occurring but im considering moving to a new state this Summer and starting over.. Is there anyone here whose been a entry level firefighter and gone to nursing ? Im 100 percent qualified CNA a certified Phlebotomist have experience Started nursing school but had to come out due to conflicting issues following that started making medical uniforms .. its almost as if im blocked or something

Im very curious.. where did you go with this? I have high skill in basketball and that is my natural gift .. however I love the idea of helping people I've tried teaching and its just not it .. all roads keep leading to nursing but they don't go together or am I wrong?

Has anyone ever studied for the TEAS exam for so long you feel like you have to take it just because you wasted so much time on studying for it? .. my overall experience in healthcare has been extremely traumatic does it make sense to take the TEAS and walk away or just walk away from it if its caused more harm than good

You are so inspiring and amazing
