  1. Care Plans?

    Honestly, doing care plans was one of the reason's I didn't continue with my second quarter of the program. We didn't even "learn" how to do them until the end of our first quarter when we started...
  2. For mrsraisinkain

    I know it's probably too late to help you but when I had to do my catheter check-off, this youtube video really helped me a lot We got to take home a kit for practice although it's hard to do without...
  3. Well.......................................?

    I'm only a few days into a 12 month program so I don't really know yet what to think. We haven't had a test yet so I'll be able to say more about that next week. For the first quarter, we only take...
  4. Need some advice on CNA exam

    I took my test in GA and didn't find MA on the listing for the company that administers ours. But I did find the below website for you (in their search box, type "Nurse Aide" and it will take you to...
  5. Working while in LVN school

    My program is a year long and starts tomorrow. At orientation they really put the fear in us that we shouldn't work while in school. I don't think that is a realistic expectation for a lot of people....

  8. failed test!

    LittleNC, I'm so sorry you didn't pass the skills part. My heart goes out to you because I too was so afraid of that portion. Oddly enough, you and I had the exact same skills. My ROM was for the...
  9. The last few weeks have been stressful to say the least but today I took my exam and I PASSED! :anpom::dncgcpd: The class ended a couple of weeks ago but we had to wait for the state to send the...
  10. Talking to Residents

    Your classmates sound like jerks and I'd ignore their remarks. Take your cues from the instructor. And it's perfectly fine to ask how they are doing. We are supposed to be their first line of defense...
  11. CNA Exam with Promissor

    jb2u, thank you for putting it into something I can read and evaluate. I do think with practice I'll feel better and we haven't even done clinicals yet. But I also know the "real world" and doing it...
  12. CNA Exam with Promissor

    I also posted in the GA Nursing thread but nobody has responded so I thought I might have better luck here. If you've taken the CNA exam in GA, or in a state that uses Promissor for the exam, I would...
  13. I'll be taking the state exam late February and I'm concerned about the 25 minute time limit to complete 5 skills. The instructor said the reason most people fail the skills part is because they run...
  14. 4 days until my test!

    Wow, 2 hours - lucky you! I'm in a CNA course now and will take the exam late February. In Georgia you're given 5 skills and only have 25 minutes to do them! Handwashing is definitely one of them,...
