    KimberlyRN89 replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    I don't post my grades on FB too often unless I'm super excited. I do tell my classmates about my grades, because I feel like we are friends & we're there to support each other

    KimberlyRN89 replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Clinical Post Conference

    KimberlyRN89 replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

    I HATED post conference. Mainly because after awhile it didn't seem like a learning experience, but just a big gossip session. Maybe I just had a bad clinical experience last semester though,

    How to quit immediately ?!

    KimberlyRN89 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    NurseLoveJoy, you're in MD too correct? If so, MD is an at-will employment state..and since you mentioned that you have no desire to work for this company again, I would just draft up a resignation...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to marathonmama's topic in General Students

    If you have a school e-mail address, you can create an account @ amazon.com & get their "prime" membership for free(I think it normally costs $60/yr). I buy all my books from amazon, since with...

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

    I definitely say go for it! When I started college, many of the girls in my Intro to Biology class were CNA's. Our county school system has a program where juniors & seniors could get certified...

    How does this sound???

    KimberlyRN89 replied to cna23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I was working in a rehab, I never got a break either. I punched out for 30 min. b/c if I didnt, I would not get paid for the entire shift. Yes, there was a union..and the place was still very...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to pedcancersurvivor89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    KimberlyRN89 replied to NurseAndLovinIt's topic in General Nursing

    I too saw my first dead body @ 19, during the clinical component of my CNA class. I wasn't afraid, or "freaked out". The man was in his 90s, and was on hospice. I think I've come to grips with the...

    I know of a girl at my job who has a prior felony, and was able to take a CNA class. It took her a really long time to get certified though..I guess maybe because of her prior criminal

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