1. Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

   Shooting4RN replied to EmBeMap's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   I can understand if they are in the actual bathroom. I was commenting on residents who are incontinent. You wouldn't want to walk someone to their bed with feces dropping off of their bottom. I agree...

   Shooting4RN replied to EmBeMap's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   I think changing a brief and doing peri care while the resident is standing is inappropriate. I have seen two cnas with a res's arm draped around the shoulders while one wipes...... It's sad. They...

   Well, I am 25 so I don't really consider myself "young" lol I feel like I am around 90 some days. I hope you aren't assuming that I am going to be unprofessional because I am nervous (or young). From...

   I am starting a CNA job soon for a nursing home (they are paying for my certification), and I am VERY nervous. When I walked into the place I was SO scared (just to have my interview.) I know that...

   Shooting4RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all. I am a PRE- nursing student with *another question* :) Did any of you nurses have weak stomachs? I didn't really have one before I had my 2 little girls. I could watch/see/smell anything...

   Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm not sure what to do yet because I don't think dropping the class at this point is an option.And you are SO right about him. It was like he was warning us not to go to the dean. Now I know why he...

    Hi all. I am a mere pre-nursing student...lol but thought I would slip in and ask some of you experienced nurses a question. What is a doctor/nurse relationship like? I have a sister who works in the...

15. What does the test entail?

    Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No I'm not sure. I think the pamphlet says there is an entrance test but doesn't specify which one. One of my girlfriends just got accepted there though so I guess I could ask her. Shes just hard to...
