dude...try working at a place as a brand new nurse where you've been working as a cna for 2 years at the same facility. i know how cnas bust their asses every day so i find it hard to ask them to do things but if i do, i thank them for doing that jo...

yeah i work 10-6a and i have a huge problem with waking residents up to put cream on their toes(which look fine) when they have it done 2 other times a day anyways. like someone said, if it's a stage II, yeah, i'll do it. but im not about to wake a f...

thanks guys. i appreciate the responses. i'm somewhat nocturnal i usually dont go to bed until 5am anyways so i dont forsee myself having trouble with staying awake. one again, thanks for the help guys =)
thankfully i dont live in that part of TN. im sure within the next 20 years, people in that area will be popping out 8 legged babies with half a nose and no hair.

i want to be stuffed(preferably in the form of me watching a funny movie & laughing...or perhaps a look of disapproval) and have my family take turns keeping my body in their livingroom. teehee just kidding. i want a wake dedicated to my journey...

When you are faced with situations such as this, give yourself a couple moments of reflection. You said you were faced with an eerily similar situation earlier on in life, perhaps you ended up with this girl as a way to get you to reflect on your own...

pssshh at least you guys have a break room. at the nursing home where i work, they have the soda & snack machine in our break room so the residents just go in and out as they please. while you're taking abreak, at least 2 will come in and ask for...

Starting out, that's a horrible idea-especially a SKILLEd unit. If you have never worked at this place before(say..as a CNA), I would not recommend it fresh out of school. Only take what you believe you can handle and always stand your ground. Becaus...

It might vary class to class, but mine was like 3 weeks long. I had one pair of scrubs that I wore-I'd recommend like...2 or 3 pairs. You might want to call and find out about the materials(steth, bp cuff, gait belt) because mine provided me with my ...
I do. And I'm starting to detect hints of jealousy with my fellow CNA's. I went home crying tonight because I'm so utterly frustrated with how my coworkers treat me. I come in, do my job, rarely take a full break, help everyone else out, treat the re...

seee that's the problem because that's what i do. people there ask me all the time about how school is going and i tell them. then i drop it. but thank you for the response!
I'm pretty sure I know which one you attend by this statement. A co-worker of mine tried to apply for this one and I thought it was insane that before you're even accepted into the program, you have to have your physical and immunizations. My co-work...
I go to TN Tech in Clarksville. I'm not sure which one you're attending, but I do believe that everyone who passes the NET test goes to orientation to get your reference forms. I could be wrong cause it's been a while.
well from what i've read on here, i guess it goes by a school to school basis. my school goes by the test scores ONLY. the top 27 people get in. im not sure how you can find your percentile because it was just listed on my paper. if your school goes ...
dude i sucked at math in high school...but somehow i had like a 96 average in med math. even if you think you're bad at something, go for it anways and just try your hardest. and nursing is more anatomy and physiology

ours was basic math & reading comprehension. decimals, fractions, reading big long paragraphs & picking out the overall meaning of it. you shouldn't have to impress anyone. just be yourself.
