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

    Thanks for your encouragement! Today was the second day of clinicals and the Alzheimer's lady that told me yesterday I was so cute called me stupid all day today. She even called me the "b" word once....

    mrsraisinkain replied to stine75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Stine: I had my first day of class today. I am 27 years old and I would say I was right in the middle of the age in my class. There were some kids straight out of high school, a couple of college...

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

    I can't believe how much clinical time you get! I think that's great. I just had my first day of class today and it's 75 hours total. Only 16 hours of that is clinicals (we only have 2 days actually...

  6. I'm an idiot

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

    mrsraisinkain replied to hoping1281's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've never experienced a state review as a nurse, but I've experienced a JCAHO inspection as a pharmacy technician in an acute hospital. I couldn't agree or stress any more with what the others have...

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

  12. STNA salaries???

    mrsraisinkain replied to BePatient's topic in Ohio Nursing

  13. skills exam-bed making

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

    I am pretty sure that jlsRN was referring more to the writers of the protocol than to the actual nursing instructors themselves. You must admit that many (NOT ALL) administrative, managerial people...

  18. Why CNA?

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