  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...

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

    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...

    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...

    I just re-read my last post and want to say that I didn't mean it to sound rude, I guess it's just the way it came

    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...

    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 posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  11. Sexist English Teacher

    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...

  12. Sexist English Teacher

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

    Actually he said it in front of the whole class. He also went into a rip about how he has only been in the boss' office once for a complaint from a male student (who he said is a mommas boy). He then...

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

    I agree. I had his class today and he explained his grading system. if you look like an A student then he does everything he can to help you keep your A. If you look like a B student you will be...

  14. doctor/nurse relationship

    Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in General Nursing

    wow thanks for all the replies! I think that I will be ok. For some reason I have always had this schtick in my head that the doctor fires the nurse for "talking back" lol. Silly, I

  15. What does the test entail?

    Shooting4RN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What exactly comes on the tests you need to take before entrance to the nursing program? Will we need to know Chem and college algebra? *getting freaked a bit* Im still taking pre-reqs so Its next...

  17. 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...

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

    You are right, stressing is not going to do me any good, thats for sure. It just infuriates me that he can have an affect on my entrance to the program. I know I'm not perfect, there are courses I...
