  1. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    MotivatedOne replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's not so much them not knowing how. They just don't want to. The very first nursing course in a nursing program trains you to be an NA

  2. RN - BSN, ADN????

    MotivatedOne replied to swellie24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd go the ADN route, then apply to a RN-MSN program while working...take the GRE, then let your employer pay for you continuing ed (tuition reimbursement) There's only an 8 month difference between...

  3. Who is still waiting on admissions notifications?

    MotivatedOne replied to WHNP715's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    :yeah::yeah:Congrats!!! Same here...Have not the slightest idea how I'm going to pay for

  4. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    MotivatedOne replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Gosh ya'll are scaring me....I pray to God the job market is better when I graduate in two years! I know your pain, I couldn't find a job when I finished my NA course...But then I applied to a...

  5. Who is still waiting on admissions notifications?

    MotivatedOne replied to WHNP715's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Wow, they're cutting it close aren't they? Haven't notified you of acceptance and you start in like 2 weeks? That's

  6. Chemistry before Physiology?

    MotivatedOne replied to HumorHeals22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Chemistry before taking A&P and got an A in Chem and a C in A&P. I honestly don't think it matters. I would suggest taking Chemistry before taking Micro

  7. Delegation Question - Glucose checks

    MotivatedOne replied to ittybabyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was performing fingersticks as a NA 1 which is allowed at the hospital I work. It sounds like the correct answer would be "per hospital policy"...not a "yes" or a

  8. Nursing School Blues??

    MotivatedOne replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

    I've yet to start Nursing School...I'll start my first semester August 17th. I'm both excited and nervous. I was such a pessimist when it came to being accepted and now that I've been accepted, I'm...

  9. Accelerated BSN vs. Direct Entry Masters (for NP)??

    MotivatedOne replied to Taco Taco's topic in General Students

    Working in a hospital isn't such a bad thing. There are hospitals out there with Psych wards. Either way, I believe the first part of the direct entry programs train you to be able to sit for the...

  10. What the heck does SATA mean

    MotivatedOne replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

  11. Any off the counter books you recommend for A&P?

    MotivatedOne replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not really sure the exact names of the books I used but you should check out the science section in either Borders or Barnes and Noble. They usually have the A&P books on

  12. NCCU's program

    MotivatedOne replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Technically when doing a RN-MSN bridge program you're still completing courses required for a BSN so I don't think it's necessary for you to get your BSN before getting your MSN. I used to be so stuck...

  13. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    MotivatedOne replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I honestly don't know of anyone who sits in an NA class saying, "I can't wait to start working so that I can have 10 or more pts on my assignment." Some of us did not know what we weren't exposed to...

  14. Can STNA's insert catheters?

    MotivatedOne replied to Cparker05's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    NA II's can insert catheters and Student NA II's can as well under the supervision of a licensed nurse. I had to look the acronym STNA up because I honestly didn't know what it stood for. I'm not sure...

  15. NCCU's program

    MotivatedOne replied to mommyonamission's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Here's a list of all of the schools that offer an RN (ADN or diploma) to MSN degree program http://www.aacn.nche.edu/IDS/pdf/RNMSN.pdf Here's a list of the schools that offer RN-BSN completion...

  17. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    MotivatedOne replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Day after day I hear nurses complain about how "miserable" they are with their jobs maybe they should find a new one as well. Since you're someday going to be a new Grad nurse, if you don't mind me...

  18. Highly motivated pre-nursing now getting discouraged

    MotivatedOne replied to NCphoenix's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You don't have to take a class to become an NA. Here's the website for NC's registry. They have the handbook on their website. Study it, go to your school's library and check out an Nurse Aide book,...

  19. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    MotivatedOne replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    i've had my face farted in for $9.15/hr and feces thrown at me. i wouldn't have care so much if i was paid

  20. Becoming a nurse for the money...

    MotivatedOne replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I'm sure people who are making less than $10,000 a year (those living in poverty) would think that 50-70K is "A LOT" of money. I personally think it's an adequate amount of money. I guess it all...

  21. Enlighten me please!

    MotivatedOne posted a topic in Government, Military

    Okay, I was recently accepted to an ADN program. I'll start this August. For about 3 years I've been considering joining the air force but as an officer. I've read on their website that you have to...

  22. Enlighten me please!

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in Government, Military

    BTW...I'm not a "he" but a she...I'm a female :-) I think that I will look into the whole Army Nurse Corps

  23. Enlighten me please!

    MotivatedOne replied to MotivatedOne's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for all of the advice. I tried the BSN route but wasn't accepted for the ABSN program I applied to so I opted for the ADN route. I can no longer get loans and can't afford the pricey tuition...

  24. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    MotivatedOne replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think I'm more tired of the nurses vs the pt's requests. A nurse walked out of a pt's room carrying a tray, saw me walking in her direction and asked me if I could take it to the nourishment room. I...

  25. What do you wash your scrubs with?

    MotivatedOne replied to chickapea's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just use Gain Joyful expressions...Apple Mango Tango :-) I have a question for you though, do you wash your scrubs separate from your other clothes or every thing all
