  1. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    bhanson replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't mean to imply that day care is the ONLY form of social interaction for very young children. Instead I intended it as an alternative perspective that shows in certain ways it can be...

  2. pre-nursing mom of 3 needs advice

    bhanson replied to Lgoodson614's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a mother and I don't have any kids but here is my two cents. When I was younger my parents arranged their life so one of them would be with me at all times, they felt this was important....

  3. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    bhanson replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That would irritate me as well. For future classes (possibly A&PII), if you can choose your professor I think that would be best. I try to avoid people with thick accents, stutters, and bad...

  4. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    bhanson replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting. We covered the rule of nines in class and there was also a diagram in our books. I'm surprised your book is lacking this. I haven't a clue about the xeroderma pigmentosa question. The...

  5. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

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

    I completely agree with Spidey's Mom concerning hard working, team players being good nurses regardless of a CNA background. However, our best nurses are the ones with amazing basic nursing skills...

  6. CNA vs. Student Nurse

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

    I think this may be vary regionally and is also facility dependent. In my hometown all of the nursing schools required a CNA certification before admission into any nursing program. In my current...

  7. A&P 1 Spring 2010

    bhanson replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Could you give us some examples of questions not found in your book and not covered in class? You have me intrigued. Also, what book are you using? Marieb 8th? Martini

  8. OMG!

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

    Everyone else pretty much nailed it. If you've historically done well in math, trig/pre-calculus will be trivial. If you've historically struggled in math, this class will be no different. Remember...

  9. A&P Lecture vs. Lab

    bhanson replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you may need to seriously think about whether Nursing is for you. Try to look at your posts and ask yourself from a 3rd person perspective if you think that person is going to make it. Thread:...

  10. A&P Lecture vs. Lab

    bhanson replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No weekend to study? Welcome to my world! I work 3-4 12-hour night shifts every Friday-Monday, with an hour commute. During the week I am going to school full time (during the day) taking AP1,...

  11. Apply before or after being given reciprocity?

    bhanson posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So I will be moving to a new state soon, and I'm curious if it would be better to apply to positions before, or after moving there? Benefits to applying before: If I get hired then I will have a job...

  12. radial pulse

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

    Counting them independently seems easier to me. People tend to learn things well if you break it down into small steps. "First you take the pulse, then you take the respirations." While purely...

  13. radial pulse

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

    I was taught that 30 seconds is okay as long as the heartbeat is regular. What I do is look at my watch in 10 second intervals. As soon as I feel the pulse I start counting when it hits the next...

  14. Hi! New and with a couple of questions...

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

    What about the

  15. Has Anybody Worked in the ER?

    bhanson replied to Katie89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here the CNAs that work in the ER are called ER Techs. Their job is more complex than a standard CNA by a pretty wide margin. It is their job to know every procedure and policy of the ER. They make...

  16. What is the Current Demand for CNAs in California?

    bhanson posted a topic in California Nursing

    After lurking allnurses for quite some time now, it is apparent the demand for CNAs varies wildly depending on your area. In my particular state, the economy has pretty much put a complete halt on...

  17. What is the Current Demand for CNAs in California?

    bhanson replied to bhanson's topic in California Nursing

    So the nurses at your facility do all of their own toileting, baths, transfers, vitals, and answer all call lights? How many patients do you have for each RN? Do you agree with the decision to let go...
