    KimberlyRN89 replied to vlynn08's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I took Nursing Seminar, our instructor told us if you have bullet points, do not use periods. If you wish to use periods, then lose the bullet points. Again, not my advice, but my instructor's. I...

    It sounds like to me that the OP feels that they know more than all of the nurses in that facility. Being a nurse is more than passing meds, and scribbling things in a pt's chart. If you feel that...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to AlexCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you spend so much time "babysitting" her, how do you find time to fulfill your own job duties? And how is it possible that your "training" a charge nurse when you are a CNA? Sorry, I'm not gonna...

    Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    KimberlyRN89 replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. I took A&P 1 during a summer session too 3 years ago. A good portion of the class was cheating. What made it worse is that I'm 98% certain the professor was aware & he did not care. I...
