    IrishIzCPNP replied to secretagent2011's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hate being a CNA

    IrishIzCPNP replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Or it can be seen as people wanting to believe they are more than they are... If somebody says that as a CNA they are one step from being an RN that's an issue. This isn't about eating the young but...

    Hate being a CNA

    IrishIzCPNP replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If the CNA Is getting report it is because she is now an RN...and she had taken many steps to get there. If you don't think RNs teach residents...you are wrong. You just aren't getting...I think...

    Drexel Pediatric NP program...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm pretty sure anyone can apply. You just have to know that you do have to travel to Philly a few times. I also don't know about clinicals being too far away...not sure how that

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Annachu512's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I was a tad older than you when I did chamberlain. It took me a while to complete because I mostly did one class at a time...I was working 12 hour night shift and 5 kids (with some medical needs)....

    I did my RN to BSN at chamberlain. I was very happy and have no regrets. I'm now at Drexel working on an NP. I almost went to PhillyU for CNM...it seemed pretty clear I was in. I was also...

    Hate being a CNA

    IrishIzCPNP replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As a CNA you are not performing a nursing assessment or using nursing judgment...not even close. Here CNAs do not give meds...you give meds as a CNA? Charting on a patient...CNAs aren't doing...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Drawing blood fresh out of school?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to sunshinee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Until you have your license in hand only do what you can do without a license. A "license on its way" isn't enough to work in. What if something happens and it doesn't come? Not worth the risk....

    Clinicals and religious observances?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    You make it sound like the holiday isn't so much important to you as what it is you usually do...get together with others. You also stated you aren't very religious...so then you don't take off for a...

    Circumcision

    IrishIzCPNP replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    They allowed you to participate? I have to ask in what way they allowed this. Like I said...watching one is likely. A student nurse shouldn't have any parts of active participation (I don't really...
