  1. I do not like my CNA instructor

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

    I like my instructor, at least I like her personality. She is a really great, caring person. It's her teaching method I'm not too thrilled with. She tends to ignore the students that seem to be...

  2. Not confident taking BPs -- HELP!

    zooz replied to zooz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    zooz replied to zooz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    zooz replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At 19, I'm the youngest in my class. My five classmates are in their early-20s to mid-60s. I've yet to notice age as a factor in doing the work to the best ability possible or passing the course; the...

  7. Oklahoma CNA test.....

    zooz replied to 2bRnKim's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My school has a contract with a nursing home only. The hospitals near where I live won't let student NAs do much more than toileting assistance. :angryfire Once again, good luck. I'll be rooting for...

  8. Oklahoma CNA test.....

    zooz replied to 2bRnKim's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm still in class (about 1 week away from clinicals), so I haven't taken the tests yet. Just curious, are you testing for home-health aide and CNA? A total of eight skills are required for the combo...

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

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

    My class requires a stethoscope, scrubs, shoes, and a watch with a second hand. I bought a Littmann Classic II SE stethoscope from Lights and Sirens Medical Supplies on eBay (about $70 including...

  18. CNA to LPN

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

    I agree. If you want to be an LPN, go to LPN school. Nurse's aide/assistant and practical nurse are two completely different jobs. You can't substitute a CNA class for LPN school. It would be great if...

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

    Thanks for your post.I'm thinking that's what the HBV waiver is for, i.e. if you don't have the full series you sign a waiver stating that you realize the risks,

  23. Vaccination Reqs. for CNA Clinicals?

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

    Now that you mention it, reseola is probably rubeola (quite a typo though). I completely forgot about measles vaccinations. Hopefully I'll get my medical records with my MMR vaccination and/or a...

  24. Vaccination Reqs. for CNA Clinicals?

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