  1. Salary as a CNA

    baldee replied to jennshort568's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    $22/hr??? Maybe when you have been dead one hundred years or so. The only way those 'salaries' differ significantly is MORE HOURS Not at OT rate (for most, and allowed by Fed law). There may be some...

  2. Overtime Question

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

    No, Fed law is supreme (like state min wage can't be below fed min wage). They may choose to give OT, but they are not required. RN's make $30+, so who needs OT. CNA is rough work to do ot anyway (and...

  3. nasty smells

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

    I know the lady in the video says never act like you smell anything, but wouldn't that loosen the situation up for you and the patients? Like "yuk, yuk, yuk, god dogs, whewww! had a good lunch huh?"...

  4. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, I think finally got the WinTel scam game figured out from yesterday. I was just delerious from punching product buttons that said one thing and sent me to another product or dead link (which was...

  5. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, here is the GOLDEN standard! http://www.intel.com/consumer/shop/product.htm?cnetId=S5795030&category=AB I looked up Intel site for best and most efficient processor, Centrino2, and here is...

  6. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Almost pulled the trigger on an Acer for $420 on Amazon,BUT 1. Current Intel Atom is squirley with more than 1 Gb Ram, 2. You can put up to 1.5Gb in but you void the warranty and have to pull a...

  7. Rate My Professor

    baldee replied to BenevolentOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ha ha, from reading some of them, it seems like the Instructors are posting every semester to keep their averages up so not to frighten people off from the bad eggs: or the squeaking wheels who did...

  8. Have any of us "older" students applied for and received a scholarship?

    baldee replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not one specific applicable link, expecially for holders of previous degrees. It looks more like a lottery of being harrassed from giving your email and phone number out, more than probable financial...

  9. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Got any links to either of what you are talking about? $400? 4gb ram? 7 hrs? queries on handwriting? Wow! Do little hands pop out and give you a massage between classes too? ha-ha

  10. Super Memory, Super Student?

    baldee replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, ... wait, uh, ... what did you say again? ...Could you repeat that one more

  11. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hold the presses, lol!! I hope no one bought an asus eee 1000h based on my blessings. (everyone do their own due diligence!) It really seemed like the perfect laptop, but if it can't handle 2Gb RAM...

  12. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

    baldee replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I can see, the NCLEX will barely touch on A&P, from the topics covered: Management of Care ( 13-19% of test )Reduction of Risk Potential ( 13-19% of test )Pharmacological &...

  13. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry for triple posting, but am reporting as finding out facts in fast changing industry. Querying 'asus eee 1000h vs 901' got a lot of youtube comparisons. Great! Both started up in 40 seconds,...

  14. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NOW, looking at the solid state hard drive (SSHD) advantage (cooler, longer battery life-13% longer, and faster - except with small files-?), the Asus eee 901 (w/XP) may be better. Its got 16GB SSHD...

  15. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a note: Two of the Win XP leaders Toshiba and Dell are coming out with Intel Atom notebooks in September (or October likely); AND prices for the 4965 Wireless protocol notebooks are coming down...

  16. CNA's giving meds....WHAT???

    baldee replied to Becca123183's topic in General Students

    No, Medical Assistants in Fl is 1350 hours, same as LPN Votech. Google MTI in Bradenton, FL (similar to many medical assistants votech reqts). What you found is required, IN ADDITION to medical...

  17. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm an engineer and always will be no matter how I make a living. I want a eee 1000h myself. First, why are you disparaging my intentions? I am trying to give a realistic view to newbies who only...

  18. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You, Mam, are a Geek! LoL, just

  19. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Labtops are tools and wireless is just now coming into worth. The $300 job has a 7" screen and perhaps tiny keyboard: worse than even Vista, Linux is not ready to interface with the world and is...

  20. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I have just decided to get a ASUS eee 1000H. Its $549, got 80gb hd (5400 speed), win XP home, 2GB RAM unlike other Intel Atom notebooks (and MCI Wind voids warranty if add to 2GB), all the...

  21. CNA's giving meds....WHAT???

    baldee replied to Becca123183's topic in General Students

    Yeah, Medical Aids are 1350 hour voc training similar to LPN, except they don't primiarily interface with the patients from my underrstanding: and are more like techs. That is not a CNA by no means....

  22. Hats off to the 4.0 er's

    baldee replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are always 'shades' of excellence: 1. Do you work full time while going to school? 2. Do you have 30 year old grades averaged in with current gpa?(!?!?!?!) 3. What school was averaged in your...

  23. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, its more of a big hassle in class than its worth. The instructor really enjoys the Windows start up, TAH TAH TAHHHH!! when someone is late, ha-ha. Where I think I'll need it, and I may pick...

  24. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everything is negotiable. If you can prove you will get better than the equivalent of their notebook, then they would agree I'm sure. But remember, Vista PC's get a lot more for the money (not as good...

  25. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ONLY way I know of is to get a new hard drive and Win XP software. Get a 7200 speed hard drive while you are at it. Then you will speed up from getting Vista off to XP and a faster hard drive. You...
