  1. What are your duties/responsibilites on the night shift?

    Girl Scout replied to Labmum2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, I thank you, too. I'm still a student and I've heard that graduates can sometimes end up with the overnight shift starting out. Not only because it's less stressful and gives them more time to...

  2. Please help me with this....

    Girl Scout replied to bridgett87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Fayetteville, where are you? I need study buddies!

  3. Please help me with this....

    Girl Scout replied to bridgett87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, can anyone tell me where to find the state test info for Arkansas CNA's? I've done some Googling, looking for Arkansas state CNA test and variations of that search, but I'm mostly coming up with...

  4. First Day of CNA Class!

    Girl Scout replied to MyschelT's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi, congrats on starting your CNA class! I started mine as well on Tuesday. We go 3 days a week, 5 hours a day. I'm learning a lot, but... I feel like they shouldn't have put CNA classes on the...

  5. Swine Flu Updates and Issues

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    About the panic thing, my mother unfortunately is one of those that believes that the US government will issue the warning when its time to prepare, and probably come deliver boxes of food and water...

  6. Pandemic Awareness/Preparation

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's very painful. I hate feeling helpless to stop suffering, especially in animals. I'd say more, but it's a very emotional topic for me. On the subject of these "underlying conditions" that we're...

  7. Pandemic Awareness/Preparation

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It was my understanding that the slaughter was carried out to 'keep the peace', as it were, since the non-Christian community views pigs as unclean, thus a path of disease. The meat was to be frozen...

  8. Start classes on Tuesday :)

    Girl Scout replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think here, they're starting to move away from the CNA license, and move toward just having PCT's. I know I want some experience in LTC, but I don't want to do it forever. My interest is with stuff...

  9. Start classes on Tuesday :)

    Girl Scout replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I start Tuesday, too! I'm really excited and getting more and more nervous the closer I get. Congrats to you on getting enrolled and moving forward in life. I've learned that life is all about these...

  10. Too expensive for CNA class?

    Girl Scout replied to atran407's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here in NW Arkansas, I got enrolled in the CNA course as well as the PCT course, both for summer, both for $700. Books were about $225. Book bag, notebooks, pens... another $50. All told, I spent...

  11. Would you get the vaccine?

    Girl Scout replied to Aneroo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I suppose I would have to get the vaccine if I'm working. I can't imagine being a PCT and being given a skip on getting a vaccine. The first batches will start to be available to the first tier, and...

  12. Swine Flu Updates and Issues

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm just a lowly student, so I'm not knowledgeable enough to give an educated guess about where this is going. But my gut feeling - and people all my life have always said to trust your gut first - is...

  13. Swine Flu Updates and Issues

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The kids out from school in Japan are taking the same approach: shopping, going out to parties, clubbing. If any are carrying the virus (and I suppose many are), closing the schools didn't really...

  14. Swine Flu Updates and Issues

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When I've read about the world's preparations for a global H5N1 pandemic in the past, I always wondered this: how in the world do you get everything, and everyone, on the whole planet, working and...

  15. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Girl Scout replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe the OP was referring to the scenario listed in the first post of this thread, not the current H1N1 situation (please correct me if I'm wrong). In the current situation of H1N1, I'd...

  16. Pandemic Awareness/Preparation

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree, masks will go quickly. It's one thing to have masks for all those on the floor, but another to have masks for all in the building. The reusable respirators are the way to go for doctors and...

  17. Pandemic Awareness/Preparation

    Girl Scout replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm reading this report done by Veterans Health, in the US. http://www.cdc.gov/eid/content/15/6/pdfs/08-1196.pdf At the end of the report they give numbers of needed PPE per worker, based on an...

  18. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Girl Scout replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Too true: It isn't just with the PPE, but also with the food and water. This goes doubly for home, obviously, because obviously in a very severe pandemic (like the one described in the OP), people...

  19. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Girl Scout replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think what I'll do, instead of sitting here staring out the window and trying to imagine what I would do, is be a bit more proactive about it. I've already got a good first aid kit at home, nothing...

  20. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Girl Scout replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Someone said earlier that it was no more dangerous to work (in a hospital, I'm assuming) during a pandemic than it was to go to the grocery store or the mall during a pandemic. I have to respectfully...

  21. FREE Full CNA Video Course

    Girl Scout replied to blueyesue's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    They're not for streaming, but you could download them onto your computer and watch them

  22. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Girl Scout replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In addition to worrying about my grandma, my mom, and my own health, I can't help but worry about who I'd be taking care of at the time. I've grown to care for many of the residents where my grandma...

  23. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Girl Scout replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for a moment of clarity which I really needed. I am normally very calm about disaster, puddles of guts, spiders crawling up my arm, etc. But this is a new feeling for me. This is kind of...

  24. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Girl Scout replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Here's the thing. I decided to enroll in CNA & PCT classes. First day of class is May 26. If this blows over, I'll be happy. If it doesn't, and gets worse, I'll still go to class until they tell...

  25. nursing school abroad yay or nay?

    Girl Scout replied to CBxoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard of getting your nursing degree in the Philippines. Is this common? Is the education level the same? When you come back home, do you have to catch up with...
