  5. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I like Monday weigh-ins. It keeps me on the straight and narrow all weekend. If I thought I didn't have to pay for my sins until Wednesday or Thursday, who knows how much trouble I could get into?!?...

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Piglet - it sounds like that wine was well deserved. I'm so sorry that wok was so bad. I just woke up and will be on my way to work in just a few for an overnight shift. Maybe I'll have my glass of...

  7. Question About Becoming a CNA

    MaineEMT2RN replied to WildFlowers84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't forget about Adult Education programs. In our area, each school district has an adult ed division and most offer CNA

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You're not alone Piglet! I'm on the scale every day as well. Also first thing in the morning, after I pee and without any clothes. I've even been known to trim my nails before I get on the scale if...

  10. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Biggest Loser last night was awesome! Can you imagine losing that much in one week? And when I think of how much they have lost in 1 weeks it makes my weight loss goal seem really pitiful!! Then...

  11. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Excellent ideas, Piglet! As luck would have it, I have a nasty head/nose/throat thing going on. This is especially ridiculous because I almost never get sick - it's like a once every 4 or 5 years...

  12. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey! My digestive and respiratory test is this week, too! You're better than I am - I'm taking a break to watch Biggest Loser :-) I'll do flashcards during the commercials. I

  13. Not what I expected.

    MaineEMT2RN replied to LaLaEm4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not everyone is cut out to work in long term care. I know I'm not! I think it's great that you are aware that it's not what you want to be doing. You can't really provide good care if you're...

  14. 4.0 GPA people, HOW can you do this?!!!

    MaineEMT2RN replied to nursic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I consider it a rare and wonderful treat when I get to stay in my jammies! Actually, on a weekend day where I only have to focus on studying, I do stay in my jammies. OK - I lie. I hang around in...

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    We try to avoid processed foods as much as possible, so I've never looked at those veggie burgers - BUT you have given me a great idea. We often have homemade veggie burgers I can make a bunch of...

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Happy Monday! I hope everyone has started off the week well. I just got back from grocery shopping and have a kitchen full of good stuff. My problem isn't that I don't eat well, I just eat A LOT!...

  17. Nursing at SMCC

    MaineEMT2RN replied to TheNewDino's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent info here! I'm starting the SMCC program at YCCC in September and I have a question for those who have completed their 1st semester. Everyone says that it's brutal, so I'm expecting that....

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Wow! I was away from my computer for a day and look what happened?!? How great is this? I'm so happy to have so many people with the same goal - leaner and stronger and healthier by September!...

  19. Getting in shape/Losing weight in pre-nursing/NS support thread

    MaineEMT2RN replied to wishNhopeNdreamN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That's too funny. We actually DID practice sponge baths on each other yesterday in my CNA class! I was all too aware of my 'fluffiness'. Here's the deal - I HATE being 'fluffy'!! I'm absolutely...

  20. What will you contribute to your nursing school?

    MaineEMT2RN replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are selling yourself short if you think your only contribution is cash. The very fact that you are entering into that community means that you are contributing. Every individual brings something...

  21. What will you contribute to your nursing school?

    MaineEMT2RN replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a great question! Remember to focus on the key principles of student engagement, respect for yourself and others (students as well as teachers), and mentoring others. Those seem to be key...

  22. online classes

    MaineEMT2RN replied to nurturer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Help, I'm scared as he** about my new CNA job!!!!!!!

    MaineEMT2RN replied to fan1008's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't quite get how you can say it's almost like you're forced to work as a CNA. The decision to take the CNA class was yours. After having provided your training, you have an obligation to...

  25. How does one make this career change?

    MaineEMT2RN replied to Emptynstr2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 48 too and will be starting clinical's in September. I will be working two 24 hour shifts in a large hospital as a CNA for two reasons. A) the experience, and B) the health insurance! Most of...
