  1. Terrible Incident

    dallet6 replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    They let you sit in your car doing clinicals and still passed you? Our state requires a minimum number of clinical hours and they do have to actually be spent

  2. What to wear for interview @ hospital

    dallet6 replied to zeppzepp2009's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I always wear a nice dress or skirt/blouse for interviews. You want to look nice, but in the end, even if someone else is dressed more "smartly" than you, your experience and references are going to...

  3. Charting

    dallet6 replied to ombyoureaninja's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We did not chart as students. That was done by the CNAs we shadowed and we just observed how it was done. When you go to work you should get at least a week orientation to help you learn the new...

  4. Radial pulse skills exam

    dallet6 replied to dallet6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not in class right now. It finished a month ago, but the wait to test was a month long. As far as asking ahead of time, yes I can, but I'd prefer to know ahead of time so I could be prepared....

  5. Where are the RN jobs in Vancouver, WA?

    dallet6 replied to BabyNurseMLS's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm surprised that with 20 years experience you are having trouble finding a job. Maybe I misunderstood-but did you say you are only looking for work in NICU? I'd expand your search criteria just to...

  6. CNA hourly pay rate?

    dallet6 replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Do you mean all shifts make 11 an hour? I don't know any places that don't offer shift deferential. The most being for 3rd shift. Most places don't offer different for weekends

  7. Tips on passing CNA Test! please...

    dallet6 replied to martheena08's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm nearly positive that's passing. I don't know exactly how many you can miss though. I can't find that information

  8. Help with cna skills test--have questions

    dallet6 replied to dallet6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I do have it and I've already completed the class. We weren't given videos to study after the class though. I'm awaiting my testing date now. I practice strait from the skills book and we do...

  9. Keeping CNA license current in WA

    dallet6 replied to nohika's topic in Washington Nursing

    That's really odd. It was very specific in our books and such about needing to work a certain amount of hours (like 8) a year. Also, there was a lady in our class who hadn't worked and was having to...

  10. Tips on passing CNA Test! please...

    dallet6 replied to martheena08's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm taking my test in 2 weeks here in Spokane WA. I'm really nervous about the skills even though I'm practising them everyday and watching videos. I'm so nervous I'll make a silly mistake or do...

  11. Job dilema- is it like this everywhere?

    dallet6 replied to NM nurse to be's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As far as your question about breifs...many places do not use briefs for sleeping. They use special linens that they place between their legs instead (think cloth diapers). I don't know the exact...

  12. CNA skills videos

    dallet6 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm taking my tests in three weeks and I want to watch videos to make sure I practise all the skills correctly. I'm not currently employed so I have to practise them at home on family. I developed...

  13. Any CNAs of former CNAs here? I have a question about working in a nursing home

    dallet6 replied to karenflrz's topic in General Nursing

    try posting or moving this to the cna discussion

  14. Passed one but not the other

    dallet6 replied to traciboop's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You failed the written by missing just one question? What state do you live in? Oh-and here you only retake the part you failed. You get three chances. YOu have to repay each time

  15. I didn't get in...

    dallet6 replied to Homebound20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where in the country do you live? When I wanted to take my course I did web searches to find all the listings for places that offered the course. At least half of the listings the places no longer...

  16. Keeping CNA license current in WA

    dallet6 replied to nohika's topic in Washington Nursing

    We just talked about this during my class this morning. You don't have to recertify every two years if you work a minimum number of hours. And its really, really minimum. You can fit it in over...

  17. 2 sciences together?

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

    Technically its not at most schools. Since they don't cover the same material, most have general bio as their prereq. You can take them in whatever order you want, or I suppose

  18. A&P respiratory question..need help

    dallet6 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm working on a take home test for my a&p class and was hoping to get some ideas to steer me in the right direction on the essay (don't worry as its a take home I'm allowed to use whatever is in...

  19. A&P respiratory question..need help

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

    She covered pH, but in very convoluted ways. The entire class is having issues with her this quarter, her tests only by a massive stretch of the imagination, are related to her lectures. She often...

  20. A&P respiratory question..need help

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

    I was able to find just a small amount of info at ask.com. For some reason all the previous searches I did didn't yield any useful information. Thanks for the help! Please don't think I'm being...

  21. A&P respiratory question..need help

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

    Please can anyone help? I emailed my teacher to ask her for just a small steer in the right direction and was told she wouldn't help. At this point I'm going to get a zero. Please anyone? I'm in...

  22. 2 sciences together?

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

    I'm taking micro and a&p 2 right now. It has alot to do with your professor as to whether or not this is managable. My micro class isn't bad, but my a&p requires so much time this quarter...

  23. Just looking for some feedback

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

    Spoke with my counselor and she said I can come in at the end of the quarter and fill out paperwork, then she'll submit it on the turn in day for me. As far as DL, we aren't staying on the premises,...

  24. Just looking for some feedback

    dallet6 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stressing right now about getting on the wait list for the nursing program at my school. I can't find the information about what day they do that at the end of the quarter (finishing up my prereqs...

  25. Did new grads shoot themsves in the foot (are jobs really that scarce?)

    dallet6 replied to keithjones's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just wanted to agree with the poster that said its more about who you know. I actually recently saw a news show about how in the current economy, all jobs, not just nursing, are much more related...
