  1. Sick of waiting to know? Say "I"!

    greeniebean replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll find out something in late July. I've applied for the Spring 2010 semester. My school does a point system (ACT or NLN + GPA) so it's hard to know where you stand in the rankings! I'm super...

  3. Calling all Paducah, KY Nurses!

    greeniebean replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Mine says "nursing pending pending" Not sure why there's 2 pendings on there? But I figure if they meet the 2nd week in July maybe it'll pop up then? I mean, I don't think it'll change to long before...

    greeniebean replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  9. Question about perineal care??

    greeniebean replied to Misslady113's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You clean the outside first. Then with a new rag (or different part of your rag) you clean the middle. You go from cleanest to dirtiest. (to remeber that just think-"i clean the body before the...

  10. What would you have said to this CNA

    greeniebean replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a CNA I can't believe the audacity of that girl! Not just her launguage but being rude to her nurse is unacceptable. If she had a problem with the tasks you assigned her (which seem like basic CNA...

  11. Should medication aides exist?

    greeniebean replied to BradleyRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm a CNA and we have a med tech on every shift. I can't count the times I've walked into a room to see meds sitting on a bedside table or had a med tech say "so-and-so was asleep when I went in so...

  12. Murphy's Law of CNA's!

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

    The lift battery will go dead just as you reach the "point of no return" and your resident will invariably be hanging in the air while you go scrounge up another battery. On a sadder note- The...

    greeniebean replied to PurposebyDesign's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  16. My patient fell!! now in hospital...need advice

    greeniebean replied to bluebird123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This does happen. You did your best with the situation at hand and that's all you can do. You'll probably never know exactly how she sustained her injury but seeing as you followed protocal -easing to...

  17. is this as impossible as it seems?

    greeniebean replied to hwalls's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That is true. A lot of CNA jobs at the hospital do start you on third shift. I guess that shift has a high turnover rate. Good Luck at your interview

  18. Clueless Students

    greeniebean replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I've heard similar conversations. I just hope nobody like that gets a spot in the nursing program that could have went to someone who actually wanted to be a nurse- not using it as a backup for the...

  19. Kind of a stupid question....Medical Terminology

    greeniebean replied to brittany_micah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat. I'm taking it this Fall online just to keep me at full time. The program description says it's about spelling, pronunciation, and converting between greek and latin. I hope I get...
