  1. What to wear for Pre-Orientation Meeting

    Girl Scout replied to vc09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say to dress as comfortably as you can while at the same time just making a good first impression. I always try to dress business casual my first day anywhere - sets everything off on the...

  2. Wait lists

    Girl Scout replied to adavis4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I don't know if this will help anyone, but I found a scholarship site from Johnson & Johnson and they have a list of "no wait" schools on it. You would probably have to contact each school to...

  3. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Girl Scout replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you supposed to bring a 2nd pair to work to change? I've never understood how that works, if you just grab some community scrubs from a closet (if there is such a thing wherever you work) or if...

  4. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Girl Scout replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah, I think discreet goes right out the window when you're having to wear white scrubs.

  5. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Girl Scout replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had that question, too! Whew, glad somebody else asked it. lol I have another newb question I hope it's okay to ask. What do you do when you've been busting your butt on shift a few hours and you...

  6. Student Nurses over 35 and Second Career????

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

    Yep! I am 36, soon to be 37, and though I don't have kids and am divorced, I am just starting to get my life back in order and figuring out "what I want to be when I grow up". lol But thank goodness...

  7. FREE Full CNA Video Course

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

    Wow! I'm glad this link floated back to the top of the forum! I am hoping to start CNA/PCA training either this summer or winter. It certainly won't hurt to be just a little step ahead of the game!...

  8. CNA CLASSES

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

    The CNA/PCA training at the local community college here is $600, and the technical institute is around the same, maybe a bit more expensive (I can't find the note I had it written on) but they seem...

  9. Wait lists

    Girl Scout replied to adavis4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here in NW Arkansas, NWACC (comm. coll.) recently had 300 applicants for its 40-slot Fall class. It's crazy. They are so painfully short on educators and funding that they can only take about 75 per...

  10. Do you ever think of going the EMT/Paramedic route?

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

    Years and years ago, I actually started the EMT-B course in Oklahoma City. I was a little too zealous in taking on too much work and college along with it, though, and I set myself up to fail. A few...

  11. CNA/ PCA whats the difference?

    Girl Scout replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is the college I'm probably going to go to, to get my CNA/PCA. There, they call it PCA+... I haven't quite figured out what the + is about yet, but I'm thinking it's the advanced part of the...

  12. CNA/ PCA whats the difference?

    Girl Scout replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The training program I'm going in to says that they teach PCA's how to draw blood, remove IV's and catheters, that sort of thing. I am guessing that the PCA training just allows you to work with...

  13. I want to be a CNA...

    Girl Scout replied to LilyCat03's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I want to be a CNA, also. At the college I would like to train at, they offer a course where you also get PCA+ training in the same semester. I'm hoping to start either this summer, or in the fall. If...

  14. Intermediate Algebra..... Ugggg!

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

    I feel your pain but I'm not even to that point yet! I am NOT looking forward to anything past Beginning Algebra. Blah! I have 2 years of college done, but NO math whatsoever. I avoided it like the...
