I landed so many chicks with the word nurse haha :)

I got in it to meet hot female nurses. Kidding hahaha...anyways, I love science and I think the human body is awesome. The technology is pretty sweet too! I know most of you are probably older, so seeing the technology advance must be awesome. I'm only 22 and its cool. Kinda like going from original nintendo to PS3 lol.

I got the job in the ER :) Thanks guys. Also SlaveHeart, thanks! I've been a CNA for like a year, but never had a CNA job....just retail..im 22 and going through nursing school (RN). This is my first job as a CNA. Wish you luck on your career path to the ER :)

I got the Job guys :)

a stethoscope, coffee, and some more coffee lol and study hard. :) like.....super hard. -__-

I know most of you are RN's, but hopefully some of you may know something about this. So it's 4am and I'm going crazy because I have an interview later today (2pm) for a position as a CNA in the ER. I'm going insane because I have no idea what type of questions they will be asking me. I get worried that out of no where some random scenario will be brought to me and I will be like "um....." LOL. Anyone know what type of questions they ask in an interview for a CNA in the ER? :S

Keep a bottle of sterile water nearby just incase....

Hmm..so maybe it should just be something I should hide from the beginning? I guess a long sleeve under the scrubs will have to do. Hopefully they aren't too strict about it.

I have a sleeve tattoo haha and it's kinda worrying me. I don't regret the tat at all, i love it. Anyways, has anyone had any problems with employment because of tattoos? or do any of you have visible tattoos and was still able to get a job? I have a lower sleeve tat. it's a koi fish :) It's kind of like this one, but mine is from the elbow down to the wrist. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3167/3355525157_46c8c16c3c.jpg Do you guys think I'll have trouble? No one has said anything in school (professors or nurses in the hospitals). I'm on my last 2 semesters and no one seems to care, so that made me happy.

I passed this semester! 3 more to go!

That's exactly why I'm thinking of ICU I'm in still in school, but I'm planning ahead lol.

I was an accounting major! After the second week I stopped going to class LOL. I hated it. I'm in nursing school now and I love it! :)

O.O Oh god, now I'm scared for the rest of the semesters LOL.

pretty much how it is for us too. It's ok! We'll get through it

*hugs*

yeah I wouldn't doubt it. I'm hearing 3rd and 4th semester is brutal lol.

Thank you.I'm a male btw lol. I don't see why people get all worked up because I find it easy so far. my friends and I are doing great. Like I said, second semester will probably be a different story. I wasn't trying to sound like im bragging because its easy. I'm just being honest. First semester is a breeze.

I have no exams for that class. We only have writing assignments and I've done almost all of them. I meant understanding the real thing. Help with methods of doing things. I dont use her for everything because I obviously have to learn everything myself. I'm sure second semester will be harder. Right now its easy as hell though.

Or maybe I love the medical field and my mom is a nurse, so I can ask her questions if i have problems understanding things.! Also my school has maintained a 98-99% NCLEX pass rate.

Thanks everyone!

I'm in nursing school and i find it fairly easy so far. First semester. Heres my schedule. Monday: Fundamentals of Nursing 8am-10am, Small lecture 11am-1150am. Monday 2pm-250pm: some dumb class about the history of nursing or some crap like that I DONT EVEN KNOW because I have an A, and I dont even go to that class LOL. Tuesday: 3pm-810pm- Hospital- Med-surge. Wednesday: 3pm-810pm- Hospital- Med-surge. Thursday: No classes or clinicals. Friday: 1pm-350pm- basic health assessment. .....................I love it. I don't find it hard at all. I'm flying through.

I gave my first IM shot wednesday (im a nursing student). I was scared like hell to hit the bone...but I didnt touch it . Anyways, I'm sure it's fine. I messed around with a few needles during lab to see if they break, but all I saw was bending :) im sure you're fine.

I don't mind all that stuff. If dealing with nursing school will get me into the ER, then i don't care. I'll do it, and I am doing it :)

Hi everyone! I'm a nursing student and I was wondering if any of you could give me some good examples of a well-done head-to-toe assessment. I feel like I jump around too much when I practice. I don't want my patient to sit, lay down, sit, lay down...and yeah you get what I mean. A good example would be nice :) Thanks!
