Congrats and best wishes for upcoming class Xentec. I was just wondering how you found a class that offers CNA, Phlebotomist, EKG tech ? I can find classes around here one at a time or Phlebotomist/EKG tech together and CNA separate. If you don't min...

Hi everyone, I watched a CNA video today talking about how to protect yourself from contiguous pts and it kinda scared me. I myself have a germ phobia problem to start with( I am kinda Monk-ish). So the thought of catching things like TB,HIV,HBV or ...

Thanks for your reply.I appreciate and understand your response. I think maybe I gave the wrong impression when I said I was Monk-ish. I am germ-phobic. I carry hand sanitizer with me where ever I go, I disinfect my kitchen when raw meat is being coo...

I am hoping to go to collage in 2008 for my LPN. I would like to work in a hospital for a few years and then maybe teach. I do not want to teach any collage courses though. I think I might like teaching or assist in teaching a CNA class, CPR, breast...

I am sorry to hear about your troubles and I will keep you in my prayers. Hang in there and good luck!!!!

I am sorry your instructor is not helpful in teaching you.I have not taken the class yet, but I have been watching the free CNA videos offered here http://deptets.fvtc.edu/nursing/index.htm . I think Lesson 59 Transfer Techniques shows dangling and ...

Thanks Siri, I went to the American Heart Association and looked up these courses. I was sick premature baby and my husband has heart problems,so these type of courses are near and dear to my heart.

I live in Ma and you only have to be 16 here. I am planing on going to the Red Cross for my CNA training. Check out there site maybe they offer training in your area. For my class it is about 800$.Good luck!!!

I am not a nurse, but I am pretty much going to same rout to becoming an LPN. I am going to take a CNA course, then work as a CNA.If all goes well then I will go to school for my LPN next year. I think you are making a good decision to ease into nurs...

Thanks for your reply trollop2000x, There seems to be good opportunities for teaching.If it helpful ahead of time to know I may need to take a pay cut.

Hi everyone, I was wondering anyone has any good LPN training videos like the sticky on the CNA page? I did a search on here and didn't find any. I check Yahoo and Ebay with no luck. Have any of you tried any LPN videos either on the web or something...

Thanks for the links JBirdAnge, I think they will be very helpful.I like having a sneak peek and being able to see things before I will do them. Thanks for the warning and support butterfly26pn, I know all to well what you are talking about. I am tr...

Thanks Nursonegreat, Friends/family kid with me all the time and say I have to pee like I am pregnant because of my IC.I am happy to hear that using the bathroom frequently was not a problem for you and should not be a problem for me either. Thanks t...

Thanks again TheCommuter, It is so exciting to see all the opportunities for LPN's.

Thanks MSLady06, I didn't even think of possibly teaching a MA class until I seen it on here. I though it would be to advanced for an LPN to teach.That is great it is a possibility. Thanks for the tip Fiona59, I have not seen an adult education Cert...

Thanks again Kelly, You gave me a better understanding about different types of people I could be teaching.As well as some challenges that come with teaching. I am happy you told me all you did and that you didn't sugarcoat it. Sounds like you were...

Thanks Kelly, That link is very helpful.I also like the idea or teaching a CNA or Ma course. How did you like teaching the MA course? Did you find it difficult teaching this course? What type of additional training did you have to have to teach this ...

Thanks TheCommuter and Steph, I am happy to see there is a lot of possibles for teaching in my future. I am also happy that after about three years of experience I can teach. It is also nice to hear different levels of medical professionals can find ...

For any of you who are CNA's or have seen the CNA video do schools, hospital's or nursing homes really offer such thing like pivot disk, lifting belts and side board to help move a pt? I was also wondering how often you have to help lift a pt alone? ...
