    Willl I ever be able to go fast enough?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Anise1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was soo nervous when I first started at my job, so because of that I was slow completing my work & made a lot of simple mistakes. After awhile I got used to the residents & how to interact...

    Who's Getting a Flu Shot?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No for both. My job is making all of us go to our doctors and be tested for H1N1. I have until the end of the month to bring them a note saying I don't have

    FAILED SKILL PORTION OF MY MIDTERM!!!!!!! Need some real support guys..

    KimberlyRN89 replied to WIGGIES_future.rn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldn't get too overwhelmed. Nerves just probably got the best of you during your exam. But if you keep focusing on it you might mess up on your written portion as well. My advice is to relax and...

    A question about being a black male CNA

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

    I understand where you're coming from, because a guy in my CNA class felt the exact same way you do. When we were doing clinicals he was very nervous to perform peri-care on some of the women because...

    Covenant CNA...legit?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to sam1213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't live in Georgia, but I'd check with the state board of nursing to see if the program is

    working all over or sticking to one hall?

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

    I prefer sticking to one section of the building. Since I'm part time though, they stick me anywhere they

    Lost Certification Number

    KimberlyRN89 replied to holls2188's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Did you check out your old state's board of nursing website? I know some states keep an online database & you could probably look it up by putting in your name and/or last 4 digits of your

    yuckiest things to do

    KimberlyRN89 replied to misty720's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had a similar situation happen to me a couple of weeks ago too. I was performing my hourly checks when one of the resident's family member tapped me on the shoulder & said "Excuse me..I was...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Homebound20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congrats! They might ask you why you want to become a CNA, what do you think you can bring to the facility (assuming that the interview is at a facility who holds CNA classes), what are some of your...

    Anyone else with second thoughts?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to c_white1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am starting to rethink nursing because I'm sort of discouraged with the posts I read on here from new grads, and also the waiting lists that nursing schools around here have I really like...

    CNA's: What's your favorite shift?

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

    :up: 2nd shift isn't a walk in the park either, but since I've worked both 7-3 & 3-11, I must say that 3-11 is less challenging. I recommend all new CNA's to start on 3-11, just to get accustomed...

    Patient Tech @ Dialysis Clinic - limiting?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Tiger95's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know because I've never worked a dialysis clinic. I do remember seeing a thread a while back where RN's were saying that working at a dialysis clinic is limiting however. But working there...

    Don't know how to cope with it all.........

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

    Don't stress! No one is expecting you to know everything in the first few days. You're still learning the ins & outs of the place, and that takes time. In a couple of months you'll be just as fast...

    yuckiest things to do

    KimberlyRN89 replied to misty720's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My very first day on the job one of the residents was off in another part of the building eating her own poop. So we has to brush her teeth, but it was hard because she (and all of the residents) have...

    CPR Certification

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Make sure you check & see which one the program you want to enter requires. I know some schools & jobs specifically ask for AHA. Good luck

    Professors who grade based on 'looks'

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen it done before, but honestly as a couple of other posters said they wont last 2 minutes in nursing school ! That's the main thing you have to remember

    Can I bring these stuff to clinical?

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

    We were allowed to bring our purses/bookbags with us to clinicals, they let us leave it in the employee break room. At clinicals we were required to bring a pen, our BP cuff & stethoscope, a watch...

    Do you feel that you were adequetely trained??

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

    She sounds lazy..you have to ask yourself: if she's been a CNA for 3 yrs, what do her former employers say about her job performance? Has your manager approached you and the other CNA about the...

    Do you feel that you were adequetely trained??

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

    I'm sorry you had to go through that. To me, it sounds like the trainee was just looking for a paycheck,not to learn anything from you. My manager asked me the same thing when I had my interview. I...

    CNA trainees peforming peri-care in class on each other? Is this true?

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

    That is disgusting! I think that training site needs to be reported!!! When it came to peri-care, we practiced on a mannequin in class & then on patients during clinicals. Only one person had to...
