  3. NA's not professionals

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    No one is saying CNAs are not valuable. I was a CNA myself for years. CNAs are not considered professionals in the noun sense of the word. This is a fact. Check your BON. Why is this plain and simple...

    Yes, nursing programs did not start in colleges- and nurses were not officially accepted into the professional world until they did. The Wikipedia post explains all

  5. What to do, what to do (a tad long)

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    I recommend taking the CNA course. I was a CNA, then LPN, and now RN. As a CNA, you will work with nurses daily. The very first semester of a nursing program entails a lot of CNA type duties. If you...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    It's different in dialysis, there are no CNAs- the UAPs are called pt care technicians, and their badges all have this title on them. They do work with machines and do a lot of technical/mechanical...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to mslinzyann's topic in General Nursing

    The Commuter is right- but I think the OP's boyfriend is by far the most replaceable person mentioned in this

  12. Will ADN RNs eventually be "phased out"

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to NaTeTheGreaT's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Over 70% of RNs in the USA are ADN RNs. (Read that on Dept of Labor site). My mil has been an RN since 1955 (not a typo). She says they have been talking about phasing out ADNs and LPNs since before...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    I understand you love your job and don't want to leave- but- you can always find another job. You only get one license. Maybe you can talk to your manager- a sit-down, door-closed, serious talk- and...

  19. NA's not professionals

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I think they do not understand the adjective professional vs the noun professional. CNAs can be the adjective, but not the noun. RNs are the noun and may or may not be the adjective. Referring to...

  20. What's your favorite area of nursing and why?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to philosophical's topic in General Nursing

    nurse2b2010, I did not get my RN until I was 31. I was an LPN for many years, and a CNA prior to that. You will read a lot of complaining and whining from the seasoned nurses here, so don't let it get...

  21. What's your favorite area of nursing and why?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to philosophical's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, when I first started dialysis, I was scared to death. Most everyone is when they first go into it. There is a lot of machinery, and technical equipment involved- also, a lot of blood. If you...
