    If you could tell a new RN grad one tip and/or request, what would it be?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Pat2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The most important thing as a nurse is to know what tasks can or CAN NOT be delegated. RN's, LPN's, and CNA's are a team. As an RN in LTC, you will more than likely take the charge nurse position....

    Why bother...?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. I can't even recall where my A&P book is now. But when I got into the nursing program, my med-surg book had an A&P review section before each system. It was about 5-10 pgs long. It...

    Is it wise to have a cna license in indiana/illinois if i still have an ill license?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Aongroup1990's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Having a CNA certification is not like a nursing license (compact states, where you can be licensed & work in states that are a part of the compact without having to apply for licensure in that...

    I did too! As soon as I got home, I checked and got the good pop-up. Did it again about 5 times over the 48 hour waiting period. Then I paid for my quick results just to be on the safe side & I...

    going to be fired from my CNA LTC job.....what's next?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to CNA1991's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The sad fact is that these facilities really don't care too much when it comes to the staff. There will always be another fresh crop of CNA's or nurses that will fill the

    KimberlyRN89 replied to CNA1991's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I couldn't have said it better. I feel the same way. I liked interacting with the residents(and sometimes their families LOL) but the staffing..the co-workers..and the management..that's what I hated....

    KimberlyRN89 replied to anxious student's topic in Maryland Nursing

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's just a misunderstanding I think. When I was a CNA I thought the nurses were just sitting around..but when I went to nursing school, I realized that the responsibilities that come with being a...
