  1. new CNA at a hospital?

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

    Hospitals seem to prefer CNA's with experience although I am sure there are new CNA's who get in through personal connections or good luck. I don't know of anyone personally who went right from CNA...

  2. CNA vs Medical Assistant

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

    I can kind of understand why someone would want to work as an MA instead of as a nurse. Perhaps they have decided they don't want to have to provide beside care. Maybe they just prefer the doctor's...

  3. CNA vs Medical Assistant

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

    My bad...I should read posts slower. I thought you were asking for the difference between a CNA a NURSING ASSISTANT. I don't know exactly what a Medical Assistant does but I know they don't provide...

  4. CNA vs Medical Assistant

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

    There is none. Different names for the same job

  5. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    Miwila replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    Tell them you're not interested and it causes strife? I say cause strife. That's their problem, not yours. You're there to do the job, not fulfill the romantic fantasies of a few immature

  6. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    Miwila replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    I love it. Unless it is made clear to me at the time of hiring that there are specific duties I will have to do because of my gender and that I have agreed to this by accepting the position, I never...

  8. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    Miwila replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    We all have our personal standards of behavior and especially in the workplace a woman has no business asking me if I'm circumcised or not anymore than I would ask her graphic questions about her...

  9. wanting to become a lpn...pls help.

    Miwila replied to pypersmomma's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with all of the above and I am also sorry that your family does not support you. I don't know why anyone would not support a family member pursuing a legitimate career that will help you...

  10. Home Health Aide vs. CNA

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

    A hope health aide provides private, usually in-home basic care for one patient, while a CNA works with multiple patients in a healthcare facility. Both are like the first step in the ladder to...

  11. Night Shifters: Do you sleep?

    Miwila replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Never. But I've been working 7-7 for four years so I'm accustomed to being up all night. I only work 3 days a week and even on my four days off I'm up all night and sleep till two in the

  12. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    Miwila replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've always considered it to be a danger zone. We live in a society where women in the workplace can get away with certain codes of behavior a man can't - and rightfully so - but it should cut both...

  13. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    Miwila replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've been working in healtcare for four years and have never met a male nurse who was gay. On the other hand I work a 7pm-7am shift that is only half the size of the day staff and predominantly female...

  14. Gay Nurses... help!

    Miwila replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am very evasive when patients ask about my private life. Coming from a conservative background I am very careful about offending people who might disagree with my lifestyle so I usually tell people...

  15. Hey guys....How do you all support yourselves?

    Miwila replied to Brian 77's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I work as a CNA 7pm-7am Fri-Sunday. I also have a work-from-home job during the

  16. Age Factor

    Miwila replied to rpc19's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to say reading all the posts on this thread is very encouraging. I'll be in my early 40's before I become a nurse if all goes according to plan and I have spent more than a few moments fretting...

  17. Confused about how to proceed

    Miwila posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a bachelors degree in a non-nursing field. I am considering enrolling in a two-year RN course but now I'm told that with a bachelors degree, even one not in health sciences, I could get a BSN...

  18. Quiet Places To Study Late ?

    Miwila replied to luckylin08's topic in General Students

    I say stay at home and wear a pair of ear silencers or ear plugs. I live with a very annoying brother who does everything loud...listen to music....watch tv...talk on his cell phone. I just put on a...

  19. Nursing Career

    Miwila replied to Ronnie3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I remember 12 years ago I was listening to a radio show (Dr. Laura) and a caller called up and mentioned she wanted to go back to school at age 36 to studying nursing. The radio host was kind of...

  20. Confused about how to proceed

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

    I am in nearly the same boat and because of that I will probably opt to choose an ADN program instead of attempting to get a BSN. As an English major I don't know how many prerequistes I need and as a...

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

  24. Online Nursing program

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

    To be honest I don't know about any options out after I start other than just dropping out and loosing all the time and money invested. But online schooling is really my only feasible option. I can't...
