Hi all! I'am actually taking my last pre requisite to get into radiography.. (don't kick me out of here yet!) But recently I have become extremely interested in the nursing career. I've been wanting to do radiography for the last 3 years , but I hav...

Congratulations! You'll do great!

I know this thread is for march -april grads but theres not one for may! I passed! today was my state test and it was a lil nerve racking but I passed!!! we all did great! Now I have to work LOL j/p I'm excited to work now that I actually passed the...

Whoo! Today was my first day of clinicals as a CNA. I feel so drained and I came home so sad for the residents in the LTC Facility. I know what you learn in class and clinicals are completely different, because you have to get the job done, but I ac...

Also, does anybody else dream about their residents. I keep having dreams of me working and being with the residents that I did my clinicals with. Is that strange?

It actually did get better, or should I say the way I reacted to everything was in a different way. I had clincials again this weekend and it went by faster. I had a good CNA to shadow so that made all the difference. I felt so much for the residen...

Thank you all so much ! Today wasn't as hard, but today was a day I didn't do much skills besides feeding, which I enjoyed. I got to know some more residents a lot better and did things to help them feel loved and cared for. I'm still feeling a litt...

Hi all, well I start CNA classes at the end of this month!! YEA! and I wanted to ask a question. Might sound silly but , Do you wear clothing under your scrubs? I see individuals wearing shirts but what do you wear under your pants.. Just wondering....

Thanks!! I wouldn't want to give a peep show at all. LOL

:yeah:Good luck and congrats! I'm sure you'll do fine !

Don't have any advice but congratulations on becoming a CNA!

boy shorts are VERY comfy. ANd not that thick and somewhat conceals the bootay. I will add this to my list of things to try. Thanks!

Oh yea the under armour gear is good for absorbing sweat. I forget the technology Under Armour uses, but some companies make clothing with the same moisture wick technology or whatever its called. Under Armour can be a little costly but great point...

LOL what?? hmm well they're not considered lingerie.. LOL thats to funny. :)

Yea , our class tried our scrubs on today for sizing and I never noticed they are like pajamas. The pants are drawstring. LOL I'm sounding so "green" right now. :)

oh leggings. that would be a good thing to wear. I didn't even think of that. And they breath better than panty hose spanx probably too. I'll put that on my list! thanks! :)

awww man. Hey at least I tried to find a way to be discreet. :) Thanks.

oh my.. I will take that as "what not to wear ,while wearing scrubs" LOl thank you so much for the insight. :)

I don't know about the stinking issue cuz I haven't worked as one yet... but maybe theres some fresh stuff we can buy to help out with that. And a very strong deodarant :) I already have to use Maxim to keep the sweat down. Maybe some easy breath ...

Yea the scrubs the program is issuing are white. So I was just making sure I don't show up with my undies showing through. thanks!

LOL I figured as much but just wanted to make sure. I don't know if i would feel to comfortable in the all whites with nothing under my pants. I guess I'm just super paranoid like that. :) thanks for the reply.

Is there a thread for CNA's graduating in May-June? Thanks guys/gals.

Amen!

I'm not a nurse but aspire to be one, one day, but I hear from my friends that the oncology department is a good place to be. Lots to learn and stuff. Hope that helped. Wish I could give more insight but I'm not a nurse.. yet. :)

I'm not familiar with nursing and when I start shadowing nurses, I will ask this question as well, but once you become a nurse can you pick a speciality to work in? Do you have to get certified in that speciality ? Say for instance if I wanted to be...
