  1. Short course vs. Longer

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

    Also, you learn the very basics of patient care in these classes and there is only so much you can learn from a book. The only things I actually use that I learned during my 4-week training is good...

  2. Gateway Accelerated program

    Knorremeisje replied to Pennylane72's topic in Arizona Nursing

    One of the reasons it's an accelerated clas is because there aren't any big breaks. So no summer break or long breaks after your exams. Of course you do get the holidays off and you'll finish you...

  3. College Algebra Fall 2007

    Knorremeisje replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got the results from my College Math final exam, I got 97%! That brings me to a final 95% - I am so happy and relieved! It's finally over!

  4. A & P 1 on line

    Knorremeisje replied to KING03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently taking A&PI online. When someone asks me if online classes are easier or harder, I always say: "Expect to work a lot more than you would in an in-person class." The material is the...

  5. Quick CNA Question

    Knorremeisje replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    In January I had to wait about a month before I got scheduled for my test. In the end it did no matter to me since I didn't have my work permit yet, so I got certified before I applied for a job....

  6. How many sciences should I take at once?

    Knorremeisje replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Starting November 1st I will be working 2 12 hour shifts a week. My A&P I class starts Oct 22 so that should work out fine. My math class will end as the A&P starts so I'll be doing A&P...

  7. Jobs for pre-nursing students..

    Knorremeisje replied to PreAzRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So does Evergreen Healthcare in

  8. anyone working and going to school and having a family

    Knorremeisje replied to greysa32's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work as a fulltime PCT in a hospital (3 x 12hr) although I am going to start working part-time to get my pre-reqs done faster, so I'll work only 2 days a week. Right now I am taking College Math,...

  9. College Algebra Fall 2007

    Knorremeisje replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class is going good. After this class about probability, there's only one chapter left! Last week we did consumer math, which I thought was pretty hard, since I have no background whatsoever in...

  10. I cried in class today

    Knorremeisje replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with jbeau. As a nurse you should know about the process of abortion. It doesn't matter whether you agree with the matter or not. It is a medical procedure and it should be taught in school....

  11. Jobs for pre-nursing students..

    Knorremeisje replied to PreAzRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am currently a PCT (CNA with some extra's, such as Foley catherization, IV discontinuation, etc - really nothing fancy ) and I took the class at a nursing home. A friend of mine however finished the...

  12. Jobs for pre-nursing students..

    Knorremeisje replied to PreAzRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Most pre-nursing students I know work in hospitals as CNA/PCT. You can take a 4 week class (if you're lucky you can take it for free at a nursing home) and it shouldn't be too hard to find a job...

  13. I cried in class today

    Knorremeisje replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not talking about killing the children. I'm talking about terminating an early pregnancy when we can't observe any human features yet. I honestly believe there is a difference between killing a...

  14. I cried in class today

    Knorremeisje replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't really understand why you started crying when your instructor was talking about abortion. I actually feel more like crying when I think about all the poor babies and children who are born into...

  15. Hello everyone...

    Knorremeisje replied to loauluon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think Phoenix College has a program. At least that's what I heard from a coworker. :) Good luck finding the right program! And

  16. Online Medical Terminology Course

    Knorremeisje replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took this class online at Rio Salado (www.riosalado.edu). I know you can take it outside the US, if you can get a proctor for your exam (which is only one, the midterm is an online test). I am...

  17. gpa to get into nursing school?

    Knorremeisje replied to hushpupgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here in Arizona you need a GPA of 2.0 to apply to a nursing school at the Maricopa Community Colleges. There is no competition when it comes to GPA scores, everybody gets thrown into a big bowl and...

  18. Working as a nurse extern

    Knorremeisje replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Honestly, I would work as a nurse extern instead of as a CNA. As a nurse extern you get to shadow a nurse and follow her while she does meds, charting, IV pumps, assessments, etc. You get to see none...

  19. What do you think?

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

    I currently work as a PCT (CNA + Foley Catherization + EKG + IV Removal) in a hospital. However, I did my clinicals at a nursing home and I would not recommend it. Do you want to work in a hospital or...

  20. State Inspection was in

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

    We also got a state visit about two weeks ago and they found no deficiencies! Yay! All that freaking out was good for something, I guess!

  21. Giving showers

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

    It's always about the resident/patient. Sometimes to the point where you feel like you're working in a hotel rather than a hospital/nursing home! I've had people wanting to shower even before I got a...

  22. i have a question

    Knorremeisje replied to midnight_romance182's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Labor and delivery. I guess it depends on your employer, but I doubt it would be a problem unless they would be visible all the time. One of my coworkers has this really cute tattoo of a monkey,...

  23. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    Knorremeisje replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's interesting how negative some people are about EBSN, while others are so positive. We just had an RN pass her NCLEX after graduating from EBSN - she has nothing but good stuff to say about the...

  24. hospital experiences

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

    Our day at the hospital... This does not include answering call lights and making more hourly rounds, getting new admits, discharges, codes, etc. 0600 - Arrival, making report sheets 0610 - Receiving...

  25. Your best/worst experience.

    Knorremeisje replied to Bebi11's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The best experience.... I think that would be the day that a patient told me she thought I did an excellent job and said that I should make sure the hospital makes me a nurse. It was really sweet,...
