  1. shoes, foot pain

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

    I'm going to follow this thread with interest! I have low arches and turn out, a lot more when I'm tired. I also have a Morton's neuroma in the left foot that isn't bothering me at the moment but...

  2. Cnm?

    NM nurse to be replied to thinkinboutit's topic in General Nursing

    brella, the current wait for the LPN program is about a year. That's if you're done with the pre req's and ready to petition now. It could be longer or shorter later one, hard to say. Answer to...

  3. Funny things that pts say

    NM nurse to be replied to jRN4now's topic in Nursing Humor

    I worked a night shift on a different floor last night in LTC. There is one very spry 95yo woman who was just diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday and wasn't feeling so hot. Normally she toilets...

  4. night shift depression

    NM nurse to be replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is an older thread but it's the first thing that came up on google :) I started nights about a month ago and I"m having huge problems with depression again. Well not huge as it's been in...

  5. Physical considerations for CNAs?

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

    I've only been working as a CNA for a couple months and I'm 40 too. But for me, the physical part is much less than what I've been used to in the rest of my life. I've always done outside work with...

  6. What do you love about being a CNA?

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

    I find myself connecting with residents termed 'difficult' or obnoxious by other CNA's. Granted I'm still new but this one lady... I don't think she gets many visitors and is very much oriented and...

  7. What's your favorite shift?

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

    I like nights. I'm a night owl anyway and I like the pace of nights. I'm still new enough and slow at basic things like dressing and brief changing that it's great to have a time to get quicker at...

  8. Forced to stay at work...?

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

    I'm glad I read this thread last week. We apparently have mandatory OT as well, I found out on Sunday. I did my first evening shift on a new floor that day, coincidently my first shift solo. And...

  9. Does it get better???

    NM nurse to be posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I need to vent a bit. Day three of my first CNA job ever was today. My brain is tired but I have yet to discover what people always talk about being so physically exhausting. I think this is the one...

  10. New CNA with meaningless experience

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

    Hang in there, Greg! I'm a brand new CNA too, 40 but female. There are men in this age group where I work, so don't lose hope on that account. I had a hard time getting an interview at first...

  11. Does it get better???

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

    Thanks for that, Miwila. I dont' understand the mentality of beating up the new kid either. But from reading on other forums here, it does seem to be a common theme I forget where I was reading...

  12. Does it get better???

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

    I'm sure everyone went through this. Learning curves suck on this end of them! I just came here for a little encouragement is all. More on gait belts. I was in all day company orientation...

  13. How was clinicals for you?

    NM nurse to be replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We practiced on each other in lab a lot also. The girls who were goofy and not concentrating in class had a hard time in clinicals. That kind of bugged me in class too. We practiced transfers on...

  14. How much BP practice did you get in the program?

    NM nurse to be replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm glad you got to work more in class today. For me, the double scope was about impossible to hear with. So I had to really work at that one and I'm SO glad I didn't draw that skill in the cert...

  15. First day ever as CNA tomorrow!

    NM nurse to be posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi all~ I'm new to posting here although I've been reading along for a month or so now. I've learned a lot just reading here :) I read a lot about getting that first job and things to ask. So that...

  16. First day ever as CNA tomorrow!

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

    Thanks for the well wishes, everyone :) It was an interesting day! Sort of thrown to the wolves in some ways. I shadowed the lead CNA and some things I really liked, others I'm not so sure. It's...

  17. Cnm?

    NM nurse to be replied to thinkinboutit's topic in General Nursing

    CNM is where I'm going also. I am done with the pre req's at the end of this semester!! I'm going to do the LPN program first, for a couple reasons. I wasn't sure when I started how much school I...

  18. How did you start after CNA class?

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

    THere were a few people in my class last year who got hired by facilities that paid for their state exams. So it does happen. I didn't start looking until now but took my state test on my own. I...
