    A few questions for a new CNA

    Hygiene Queen replied to Brittany K's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You may have to pay your dues in LTC before you can get a job elsewhere. I agree with Poi. Just go for it and apply anywhere and see what happens, but take an LTC job if you can get

    Have you made good friends while in Nursing School?

    Hygiene Queen replied to PreStudent101's topic in General Students

    Please help, first semester of clinicals begin in January

    Hygiene Queen replied to MonroeJ15's topic in General Students

    Seriously Considering Quitting

    Hygiene Queen replied to jackometer's topic in General Students

    The Real World doesn't matter. The point is, the OP absolutely must complete these things in clinical. Explaining to the instructor, "I didn't do my ADL's because I won't do them in The Real World and...

    freaking out about taking the nclex

    Hygiene Queen replied to tlovedolphin's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't fuss anymore. Crack open your books and start taking the practice tests. You may feel, as you study, that there is no way you will pass. This is normal. Just keep truckin' along. Be sure to...

    Anxiety about Clincals

    Hygiene Queen replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    While everyone tries their best to avoid mistakes, mistakes will happen. Instead of wallowing in the red-faced shame of "I screwed up and now I look stupid", tell yourself, "Well, I learned from that....

    how did you get your job??

    Hygiene Queen replied to nursingstudent_88's topic in General Students

    I already had a job as a PCT in my hospital. I just transitioned over to an RN. Even though it is extremely difficult to try to maintain a job in nursing school, having a job as a PCT gets your foot...

    Has anyone ever been a self-employed CNA?

    Hygiene Queen replied to Starletta's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked for myself for close to 5 years. I started by answering an ad and I got other jobs from there. Families would see me working with these pts and wanted to hire me too. These jobs were with pts...

    Hygiene Queen replied to linamtob1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    "If they really cared about their mom, they wouldn't of put her in a nursing home"

    Hygiene Queen replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I feel this is a perfectly acceptable and appropriate nursing action: monitoring your patients to make sure they do not choke. I do not understand why you do not view this as nursing? This is not...

    Disposable Bedpans?

    Hygiene Queen replied to scarlet87's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm! Never saw those, but they sound like a good idea. I don't know if many places still sterilize and reuse bedpans like they used to do. We use the plastic ones and just toss them out when the pt...
