    Karla.S replied to Karla.S's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  8. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    Karla.S replied to Always_Learning's topic in General Students

    I think lots of schools use the "all white" uniform for students because it is a very basic color that most hospitals/institutions will not have their staff wearing...so its easier to identify who is...

  9. Opinions on Kaplan...

    Karla.S replied to panels1105's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone know how to go about getting a CNA in NE? I've looked for SCC and cannot find any info on this. I know that Bryan school offers a class about 3 1/2 weeks long in the summer time to get...

  11. Becoming CNA in NE

    Yay!!! I am almost done with my CNA course! I almost wish I would have done it through Madonna because I found out they will pay for you to go there if you work for them... Hmm!! Free school AND a...

  12. CNA giving medications....

    Karla.S replied to Misslady113's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  14. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Karla.S replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    To me, the instructor seems a bit harsh when calling you 'less of a nurse' just because as a student you had mispronounced something according to him. I think some people just say things differently....

  15. Danskos and Bad ankles

    Karla.S replied to ChinUp's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That's good to know (about the Sanitas co.) maybe I will look around for them also. I do have flat feet/very little arch at all so I may need to have some specific arch supports in my shoes either...

  20. Question for students in nursing school, or students taking pre reqs to get in it.

    Karla.S replied to TCLA's topic in General Students

    I would like to agree with whats being said here. Find the school you want to go to and some backup schools, then decide what should be taken from there. For mine, I have to do human anatomy, human...
