  1. What are CNA's allowed to know? (HIPAA question)

    rockytopRN2b replied to Donnagg123's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I worked as a CNA in a major metropolitan hospital and was allowed to sign off on the charts for vital signs, I's & O's, ambulation, etc., that I did. It was standard practice. I interviewed at...

  2. Snapped at a nurse student last night, she had a bad case of Nursitis

    rockytopRN2b replied to Tony1790's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At the hospital where I work, most of the CNA's are nursing students. It's the rule rather than the exception. The few who aren't are older ladies who have been in the field for a long time and make...

  3. CNA working in hospital Questions!

    rockytopRN2b replied to cheizy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The Red Cross program I did actually catered to both. We had clinicals in both LTC and acute

  4. How difficult is a CNA course?

    rockytopRN2b replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took it in 2006 in Knoxville. The Red Cross there still offers the program, but from my understanding, the offerings vary by location. You could also consider getting your license by working in a...

  5. How difficult is a CNA course?

    rockytopRN2b replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did my CNA through the Red Cross which is known to be a good program, and I didn't think it was very difficult at all. I was an EMT before going through the program, but a lot of it seemed like...

  6. CNA working in hospital Questions!

    rockytopRN2b replied to cheizy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got a hospital job as a new CNA graduate, and so did a lot of others in my class. One of the major teaching hospitals in our area recruited from the CNA program and most of us with no prior...

  7. East TN CNA'S

    rockytopRN2b replied to Mountain Woman's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked at UT Medical Center a couple years ago, and if I remember correctly, they paid $8.30/hour before any shift differential, etc. I believe Covenant Health facilities (Fort Sanders Parkwest,...

  8. Excelsior Exams and Not an LPN

    rockytopRN2b posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am licensed as an EMT-I, CNA, and work as a med tech in military hospital. According to Excelsior, I do not meet their clinical requirements to enroll because I am not a LPN, and have not completed...

  9. Need some advice on CNA exam

    rockytopRN2b replied to 1uvakindmom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The best advice I could give you is just to relax. I know...easier said than done. I remember when I took my CNA exam, I told my instructor I was glad there were a couple RN's around because I was in...

  10. For All Those Who Took The CNA Program via Red Cross

    rockytopRN2b replied to QueenBoudica's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think the Red Cross program has a really good pass rate for state tests. When I went through it, our instructor said that in the year she had worked for the program, only two students had actually...

    rockytopRN2b replied to cnamistitucker's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's for ages

  12. For All Those Who Took The CNA Program via Red Cross

    rockytopRN2b replied to QueenBoudica's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I also went through the Red Cross program and highly recommend it. Our instructor told us that local hospitals would waive experience requirements for new Red Cross grads because they know it's such a...

  13. Nurse Aide Training Programs

    rockytopRN2b replied to ninasparx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did my CNA training through the Red Cross and it was an excellent program. I had a hospital job waiting on me the day I graduated (before taking state boards), and others had jobs weeks before we...

  14. Is there power in the color white?

    rockytopRN2b replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    We had to wear all white scrubs during clinicals, and overwhelmingly, everyone hated it. I recall one girl commenting she'd dropped her son off at school on her way in and was asked by a teacher which...

  15. Online Class

    rockytopRN2b replied to Fox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking it through Edukan (they call it Developmental Psych). Good luck!

  16. Looking for A&P Online

    rockytopRN2b posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all... A&P is my last pre-req I need to apply for the nursing program next spring. Unfortunately, classes are already full for fall, and I have to complete it before the end of the year. I've...

  17. I am taking a CNA class right now. Questions?

    rockytopRN2b replied to lissie82's topic in General Nursing

    You can order them online as well. I got my steth and bp kit from http://www.jascouniform.com and was happy with the service.

  18. Breastfeed or else

    rockytopRN2b replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is a difference in having a general idea that breastfeeding is best, versus actually being educated why it is. When I had my oldest, I had no plans to breastfeed because I...

  19. EMT or RN

    rockytopRN2b replied to ostomyrn2b09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm an EMT-B and it's good interim experience while waiting to get into the nursing program, but I definitely don't believe I'd choose it over a career in nursing. EMT-B's have a pretty limited scope...

  20. Looking for A&P Online

    rockytopRN2b replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    that is totally odd. i'm actually enrolled in the a&p class that is starting later this month, also through colby, and they were the ones who told me i had to supply transcripts. i'll check with...
