    greeniebean posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay I got a million of these! I was giving a new resident a bed bath the other day (she's very heavy set) and when I got to her chest I blurted out "oh you've had a mastectomy" because I only saw one...

  4. Tell me what U think?

    greeniebean replied to Shari1565's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's true. They can terminate you but they have to pay you if you already worked. If they refuse call your state's Better Business

  5. Calling all Paducah, KY Nurses!

    greeniebean replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    I try to find a lot of this out on the website but some of it is so outdated! I got an e-mail today saying they were re-doing the site but it's going to be a few weeks! Hopefully they'll put up some...

    greeniebean replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for all your help. I feel a lot more confident going in now (I don't know anyone so I'm nervous about that). I'm so glad I've met people here who are going through the same things as...

    greeniebean replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Also, were any of those 1st 3 clinical sites total hell? I keep getting scared by all the posts about horrible instructors, mean nurses, and crappy clinical placements. How was your 1st semester of...

  10. Open Mouth-Insert Foot!

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

    I have a bad habit of speaking before I think!! It's kinda funny that I want to be a nurse-the job where tact is your friend! Oh well, it makes for funny stories later

    greeniebean replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

  13. CNA giving medications....

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

    The MAR requires the person giving meds to sign off that they witnessed intake of medicines. She obviously falsified this document by having you actually administer the meds. You can get in trouble...

    greeniebean replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

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

  17. Question about retaking courses for better grades...

    greeniebean replied to ysosa1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
