  1. Rant

    mrsraisinkain replied to bakpakr's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm glad to hear tonight went better, bakpakr. I was going to say that you worked so hard to get into and get through your CNA classes that it would be a shame for you not to use them. I can tell...

  2. Moral support, pleeaaassse!!

    mrsraisinkain posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay, it's my turn... Wednesday I take my state test. I am nervous as all get-out. I have never been nervous as a test-taker, I've always done really well on written tests. So I'm not nervous about...

    mrsraisinkain replied to xonforefunx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    :welcome: I just took my test last week so I know how you feel. I was also worried that I would "freeze up" in front of the evaluator. I just tried to think in my head that it was just another day in...

    ETA: I just noticed you are in Dayton, OH. I was born there! We lived in Middletown but I was born in a hospital in Dayton. OMG, girl, I grew up in Middletown! My family moved there when I was 7 and...

  5. ancef 1g reconstitution

    mrsraisinkain replied to nursiemellie's topic in General Nursing

    You can dilute the drug with a small amount of SWFI in the vial but as long as you are further diluting the Ancef into a piggyback it doesn't really matter how much so long as the entire bag is...

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

    mrsraisinkain replied to zooz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congratulations, zooz! I'm so excited to hear your good news. Yesterday I took my test and had female peri-care. BECAUSE OF YOU and your former post, I remembered the remove the bath blanket and...

    mrsraisinkain replied to prettygirl07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry, I can't help about the inservices. We don't have anything like that here. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck, though. If anybody can help you, it's going to be people on this

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

    Whew! I'm glad that's over... I get to find out my results sometime today after 3:00 PM. It was strange, after I walked out of the test I was more confident about the skills part than the written...

  11. For The Love Of God Help Me

    mrsraisinkain replied to Richarda8770's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Unfortunately being a nurse's aid is not something we do for the money or for the glory. We do it simply because we love taking care of

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

    Thanks for the help, guys. I really do feel better just knowing I'm not the only one shaking in my shoes when it came down to taking the test. It's only been a week and a half since I've been out of...

  13. L&D CNAs?

    mrsraisinkain replied to amanda1229's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know in the town I live in we have a pretty small hospital. When I was in the hospital having my son I asked the L&D nurses if they had any aides. They said they don't really have any, but that...

  14. I don't like my job :(

    Congratulations, Dreamy! I'm sure you'll like this new setting a lot better. Sometimes when we're trying something new we having to search a little before we find our niche. I think your new facility...

  17. Stupid dream

    mrsraisinkain replied to Bebi11's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't worry too much about it. As the above person said, you may not like it. I finished my classes last week. I had clinicals on Wednesday and Thursday. The first day went really well but I had a...

  18. Health Screen test?

    mrsraisinkain replied to HTmommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi! It's been a while but a few years ago I was hired as a pharmacy technician for a local hospital. Part of my health screening included (of course) a drug test, an eye test, and (you were right)...

  19. Workload CNA w/ A&P

    mrsraisinkain replied to checkmate's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My class was only 2 weeks. Ohio only requires 75 hours of class to be able to take the state test. Two of our days were clinicals; they were from 7:30A to 4:30P. The last day of class (last Friday) we...

  20. Workload CNA w/ A&P

    mrsraisinkain replied to checkmate's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't think the CNA classes required any studying either. I just finished a two week course yesterday. We were in class Monday - Friday 8A - 430P so it was a pretty intense course but if we paid...

  21. MY first day of clinicals

    mrsraisinkain posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well... I started my STNA classes last Monday and today was my first day of clinicals (tomorrow is my last day of clinicals). My patient was a 79-year-old lady with end stage Alzheimer's. This is the...

  22. Paid Training or College Course?? Which is better?

    mrsraisinkain replied to WVlpn2b's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would also take the college course route. A lot places that hire CNAs will reimburse you for your tuition and the cost of your state test anyway. In a college course you will be more likely to...

  24. What do you think?

    mrsraisinkain replied to dodgerla's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry... Maybe a little off-topic, but... Wow! The state maximum for Ohio is 1 aid per 15 residents. Even that is too many people to handle on most days! So... to dodgerla I would recommend you ask...

  25. when did you go to work

    mrsraisinkain replied to greysa32's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not in Texas, but here we're allowed to work for 120 days before we have to be state tested. So, I finish class tomorrow and don't take my test until the 3rd or 4th of October. But I am planning...
