  1. Help! Organic v inorganic chem?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to rebecca41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm currently taking Organic Chemistry. Last semester, I took Introductory to Chemistry. What I learned in Intro chem has really very little to do with what I am learning in organic. I am being...

  2. If you didn't get the job after interviewing, did you ever call to find out why?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had no idea that you can call and find out why you weren't hired for a specific job. Usually, after you have been interviewed, human resources or the interviewer is hard to get in contact with; they...

  3. Advice to avoid "more CNA woes"?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to kgillette's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what to tell you. I had bad experiences as a CNA working in LTC facilities. It seems that the ones who were gossipy, in cliques, and were tattletales (always telling RNs/LPNs what...

  4. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I worked in two LTC facilities, and saw with my own eyes (I experienced it myself) the workplace bullying that goes on amongst female employees. One LTC facility hired a older CNA(early 50s), and the...

  6. CNAs always at risk for getting terminated

    Ms. Nurse Assistant posted a topic in General Nursing

    Why are nursing homes always firing and hiring CNAs? I worked at two facilities who go on firing rampages and get rid of nearly every worker on the floor except for a few every 6 months or so. I have...

  7. What do you learn in Organic Chemistry?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Affairs rampant among nurses?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to sugarbush's topic in General Nursing

    This made me think of the show Nurse Jackie. She goes into the backroom and has sex with this guy (a doctor?), it made me wonder if this really goes on in real life. Any nurses find that show...

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to stackbundles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. I passed Chemistry with a "C", should I retake?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I passed that class with the skin of my teeth. I got a C. The nursing program states that I need a "C" or higher in my pre reqs. I really don't want to take it over again. I figure if I do well in my...

    Ms. Nurse Assistant posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, I just had to enroll in a math class. I have 3 more math classes before I can enroll in Stats. So that means I won't be able to apply for nursing after I finish my winter classes next semester....

  20. I passed Chemistry with a "C", should I retake?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, I won't take it over again. Just got my books and it seems that for Organic chem we're using the same book that was used in Introductory Chem. I might ace Chem this time

  21. Should I take these classes together?

    Ms. Nurse Assistant posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students
