  1. What kind of shoes do you wear?

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

    I wear Crocs and Sketcher's. I love them both and my feet NEVER hurt at the end of my shift... but I couldn't live without my Crocs! Feels like I'm wearing slippers all

  2. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    DreamyEyes replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeahh!! I thought I had an 84 on the first exam, but I just checked my grades on-line and I received a 92. There were 80 questions, but my prof scaled the exam out of 100. I am much happier...

  3. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    DreamyEyes replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How's everyone doing? I'm on to Chapter 5 now. I took my first exam today and got a 84...not really what I had hoped, but the cool thing is that my prof let's us take exams twice and he only counts...

  4. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    DreamyEyes replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We do have a book, but it's the one by Mader. We actually have practice tests for each chapter on-line, and that has really helped me a lot so far. The exam is on Sunday, but we have until Wednesday...

  5. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    DreamyEyes replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How are you guys studying for exams? My first exam is on Sunday on Chap 1-4 and I don't even know where to begin. I really don't want to cram all at once, because that usually doesn't go over well for...

  6. Jobs granting 2 12's and 1 8hr shift.

    DreamyEyes replied to FutureNurse23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would love to work 2 12's and one 8. More time off during the week. I've never heard of CNA's only working M-F...at least not around here. A lot of hospitals and LTC facilities require that you work...

  7. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    DreamyEyes replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tamtam, I feel your pain. I'm also taking it on-line and it's harder than I thought it would be. :imbar How is your professor with grading? Is your grade dependent on the exams and quizzes, or do you...

  8. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    DreamyEyes replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    DreamyEyes replied to RN28MD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey everyone. I'm also taking biology this summer, I started a week ago and my class ends in the beginning of August. I'm taking it on-line though, because my school is 45 minutes away and with how...

  10. Different Shifts?

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

    I work at an ALF (assisted living facility.) I work first shift, and this is the only shift I really like to work at my facility. Second shift is actually more busy at my work, and we're always...

  11. Anyone here home care CNA/HHA?

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

    I currently work at an assisted living facility, but they should add "/nursing home" to the end of it, because that's basically what it's turning into. Nursing home work is HARD work, but can be very...

  12. Had Orientation this past Wed. 5/14 WHEW!!

    DreamyEyes replied to LPN_thts_M3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats! I also had orientation on May 14th- not for LPN, but for the dental hygiene program. I am a CNA though so I still check out all the posts on this site. It is definitely overwhelming. I...

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  15. Curious: Any CNA's that don't want to be a nurse...

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

    I'm a CNA but I don't plan on being a nurse, because I'm going into a completely different field altogether :) It's still in the healthcare field, just not nursing. However, I love being a CNA - I...

  16. A little advice please...

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

    No it's not over the top at all! Definitely send that thank you note after your interview. Employers look very highly upon people who send thank you notes. So definitely send one. Good

  17. Overall CNA Advice on classes, job apps, etc.

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

    I would go for the 4 week class if you want to get it done fast. I know people who have done a 3 week CNA class, and they were fine. Mine was 2 months long- There's a lot of info to learn, but it's...

  18. Something Positive about your job!

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

    We have a woman at our facility who has severe Alzheimer's. She has a really hard time even forming sentences that make sense, but she's one of my favorite residents. Anyway, one day I was painting...

  19. Where do you work?

    DreamyEyes posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey everyone. Is anyone applying to any nursing schools that are full-time DAY programs only? I'm a current CNA, but I'm going to be starting the dental hygiene program (hopefully Fall '09) and they...

  20. LNA Training in New Hampshire

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

    I went through LNA training at Red Cross and I loved it. The course was 1,200 so I took out a loan because I didn't have that kind of cash on me. BUT, as long as you work in LTC after your course in...

  21. Statistics prerequisite

    DreamyEyes replied to CAguyinMO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let me just tell you that I was always HORRIBLE in math. It just doesn't make sense to me at all, especially algebra. I could never get higher than a C during highschool. But I LOVED statistics. I...

  22. Work as CNA before school in AUG08?

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

    I would definitely work as a CNA before nursing school. The reason I say this is because it's a good idea to get into the nursing field and see if nursing is actually right for you before you go...

  23. Working 3-11 Shift For the First Time :)

    DreamyEyes replied to Button2006's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in assisted living, so it might be a little different. But from 3-5 in our facility, most are either taking a nap or doing some sort of activity. Then we round everyone up for dinner. SOME like...

    DreamyEyes replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
