this came straight form my A&P notes: Roles of the Three Types of RNA Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) bound to amino acids base pair with the codons of mRNA at the ribosome to begin the process of protein synthesis Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a structural component of ribosomes Transcription Transfer of information from the sense strand of DNA to RNA Transcription factor Loosens histones from DNA in the area to be transcribed Binds to promoter, a DNA sequence specifying the start site of RNA synthesis Mediates the binding of RNA polymerase to promoter Transcription: RNA Polymerase An enzyme that oversees the synthesis of RNA Unwinds the DNA template Adds complementary ribonucleoside triphosphates on the DNA template Joins these RNA nucleotides together Encodes a termination signal to stop transcription Overview of Transcription (Fig. 3.35) Initiation of Translation A leader sequence on mRNA attaches to the small subunit of the ribosome Methionine-charged initiator tRNA binds to the small subunit The large ribosomal unit now binds to this complex forming a functional ribosome Information Transfer from DNA to RNA DNA triplets are transcribed into mRNA codons by RNA polymerase Codons base pair with tRNA anticodons at the ribosomes Amino acids are peptide bonded at the ribosomes to form polypeptide chains Start and stop codons are used in initiating and ending translation i hope that helps a little bit.. i know its wordy but i think it answers your question

sometimes one of those week lonf sessions, that is probably held at a nursing home, requires you to sing a contract and work for that nursing home and you are only certified at the nursing home and cannot work in the hospitals if you so choose. also the prep course will not give you all the experience you need to be proficient, just get you through the test, which does not make a good CNA

My instructor say ROM on the head and neck is for the RN or PT to do only. my book says that CNA's should do it but my instructor says otherwise. In my opinion, i would stay away from head an neck bc there is a lot of damage that can happen if you are not careful

clinicals are so much better than i thought it would be. i was really nervous that it would be weird and i would be terrible at it. by may first patient wa the sweetest old lady ever. she had so much fun and so did i. you just need to go in and be comfortable and reassure yourself that you KNOW what you are doing. we all make mistakes and we are just learning. Im a little goofy in lab but it hard to be serious when it isn't a SERIOUS situation. have fun and remember why you decided to go this direction

Hi everyone! My name is Haley and I am just starting my CNA classes this semester and I will have my certification in January. I am really excited and very nervous for the coming adventure but ready to take it on! I have my first clinical next wednesday so we will see how that goes!!

I am just starting my CNA certification classes and I am also pretty nervous. My clinical instructor said that it is the people that are nervous that are likely to do the best and that the people that think they know everything that do the worst. We just need to remember that we chose to go this path for a reason and to never forget that reason. We are some of the most important people on a floor because we do the majority of the patient care. We should be proud of that!! Good luck!!
