1. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to Freedom42's topic in CNA/MA

   I have to say that I do understand that you are upset that SOME Ma's call themselves nurses. But it is not fair to classify all Ma's. It is also not fair to say that we can "barely take a BP." I can say for myself at least that I am capable of doing ...

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to Freedom42's topic in CNA/MA

   THANKS. I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU ARE NOT NURSE ENOUGH. THAT IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL. I'M SURE YOU WORKED HARD FOR YOUR NURSING DEGREE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, TAKING CARE OF YOUR PATIENTS. I THINK ANYONE WHO HAS CHOSE TO GET INT...

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to lovejana22's topic in General Nursing

   HI, THANKS FOR UPDATING ME ON THE VARIOUS OPPORTUNITIES OF THE LPN. I WAS NOT AWARE THERE WERE SO MANY OUTLETS FOR THIS CAREER. WHERE I LIVE IT IS REALLY HARD TO FIND JOBS AS AN LPN. THE LTC CENTERS HERE ARE, WELL, LET'S JUST SAY NOT UP TO PAR. AND T...

4. Medical Assistants???

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to lovejana22's topic in General Nursing

   very true. I have never heard of a four year program for Medical Assisting. I went for two years for my associate degree but I would never invest four years. Some people don't want to be an RN. Even though they could invest the same amount of time in...

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to Freedom42's topic in CNA/MA

   THANK YOU. I NEVER EVER EVER EVER SAID THAT I THOUGHT I WAS A NURSE. OR THAT I HAVE EVER TRIED TO 'PLAY' NURSE. I TOO WENT FOR TWO YEARS FOR MY ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN APPLIED SCIENCE FOR MY MA. MY REASONING WAS THAT THE WAITING LIST FOR RN SCHOOL WAS T...

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to Freedom42's topic in CNA/MA

   :oHI, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD MY STATEMENT. FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT AGREE TO WHAT THIS GIRL IN THE OFFICE DID. I KNOW IT WAS A LITTLE CONFUSING BECAUSE I WENT FROM ONE SUBJECT TO ANOTHER. I DO APOLOGIZE. I IN NO WAY AGREE TO CALLING Y...

7. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to Freedom42's topic in CNA/MA

   No, I am not saying that at all. If you would have read the entire statement, I said that she had no right to say that. I do not think that an MA or CNA is to be considered a nurse. My statement was totally against the girl working in the office. I s...

8. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to Freedom42's topic in CNA/MA

   Ummm, I don't recall saying that she was uneducated or that she favored uneducated people. I was simply making a point that she went to school for four months and then practiced nursing for four years while volunteering in the war where she instructe...

9. Medical Assistants???

   LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to lovejana22's topic in General Nursing

   There is an obvious difference here in Ohio between an MA and RN income. The MA fresh out of school starts about 10-12 an hour and the RN starts about 15-17 an hour. It all depends on who you work for. I am an MA who in 1.5 years will apply my credit...

10. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    LITTLEWITCHGIRL replied to Freedom42's topic in CNA/MA

    :oIn Ohio, you don't have to be certified to draw blood. They actually will allow CNA's to take on this task in some establishments. Hospitals will hire people off the street with no medical training for this purpose. Yeah, this is really scary. This...
