  1. Is is beneficial to get CNA before nursing school?

    Busia replied to maggie24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. OB/L&D rotation

    Busia replied to NiesyLuv0o's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Based on my own experiences as a three-time L&D patient, I definitely believe the nurses do the majority of the work during labor. The docs are really only there in case of complications. I had...

    Busia replied to RLPORTEE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Busia replied to BreatheFree's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Busia replied to mcubed45's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just ordered the Littmann Classic II SE in Navy, and a BP cuff so I can practice on the family! That 5% isn't that much off, it only saved me a little over $4, but it's one of the lowest prices...

    Busia posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Has anyone ever been super unsure about taking the CNA course? I know I definitely do not want to work as a CNA, and am only taking the course because I have to as a pre-req for the LPN program. I...

  8. When will RNs be hired again?

    Busia replied to rainydaydream's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital here in SE MN just yesterday let a bunch of nurses know that they will be having a two-year layoff. I've never heard of such a thing! A woman I know is nervous because she thinks she...

    Busia replied to shacal228's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I ordered the ATI book last week, can't wait to get it. Does anyone know what the Kaplan book is called? I tried looking on Barnes & Noble's website, but there are over 1800 listings for Kaplan...

  13. How old is too old?!?!?

    Busia replied to Amy Married to Art's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 32, and I will be honest, I was worried when I went for registration yesterday. At first I saw all the older people and though whew, no problem! But then they told everyone to split off into...

  14. CNA pre-req class- really unsure about it

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You really are reading a lot more into things than are really there. Nobody said anything about distasteful or being above anything. My concern does not lie with wiping tushes or giving baths, it...

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was going to respond, but I think some of you have beat this dead horse enough, let it

  17. CNA pre-req class- really unsure about it

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My oldest is 7. I love everything about L & D and postpartum. My kids' births were so exciting to me (didn't care for the whole being pregnant part, but labor and delivery were great!), it would...

  18. CNA pre-req class- really unsure about it

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Being CPR and First Aid certified were both requirements for the LPN program as well. I've done the First Aid class already, and have the CPR class next

  19. CNA pre-req class- really unsure about it

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've had three kids, and I was always so grateful to the person doing these things for me and the baby after delivery. I never knew those were CNA's. I guess I never really looked at people's tags...

  20. CNA pre-req class- really unsure about it

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, I'm definitely not being sarcastic. I have only ever had contact with a CNA (that I knew was a CNA anyway) in a nursing home setting. And of the five hospitals all within an hour or less away...

  21. CNA pre-req class- really unsure about it

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wasn't aware that CNA's did work other than with the elderly. What kind? I guess I've always associated the job with nursing

  22. F in math course, quit nursing altogether

    Busia replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    A math class is only one class, if you're doing well in your other classes, definitely look into transferring to another school. If you're not doing well in the other classes, and don't want to put...

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry, I have read and re-read my first post, and can't for the life of me find where I said that. I apologize if I have offended you or anyone else by posting in this forum. I assumed that...

  24. My first day at work is 2moro...=)

    Busia replied to ohiogyrl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Good luck on your first day! Walmart (thought I hate the place) does have some nice scrubs, I think they are around $12 for tops and $14 for bottoms. Sometimes you see $9.99 ones there

  25. Drained`Exhausted`Emotionally Concerned`Disoriented

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

    I wish I would have found this thread earlier! This is exactly what I'm nervous about while waiting to start my CNA pre-req. I'm SO relieved to know there are others that feel this way, and that...
