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

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

    If anything, I think this thread has made me think a bit more and I've been able to rationalize and answer my own question. Thank you for your input, both good and bad. I know can handle it, I'm...

  2. Tattoos and piercings

    Busia replied to averna's topic in General Students

    I'm so glad my tattoos are both in places I won't have to worry about (shoulder and leg)! I have five piercings between my two ears, but usually only use the first holes

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

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

    Wow, you guys are really harsh and quick to judge. I NEVER said I thought any less of a CNA for the job they do. I believe my exact words were " I have so much respect for those of you that are...

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

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

    I also wondered how much of it I would actually be doing in clinicals. Our whole class is only two weeks long, and I think only four full days of that are clinicals. I'm thankful for that! I'm so...

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

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

    Seeing as I would like to work in a clinic, I just don't see where the CNA duties I am uneasy about doing would typically apply in a clinic setting. IMO, they are completely different

  6. ACT Compass compared to the NET

    Busia replied to egreen42's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I took the COMPASS for my first school choice, and then when I found out the waiting list was insanely long, I took the Accuplacer for my second school choice. The types of questions were identical,...

  7. I finally start my CNA class tomorrow!

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

    Congrats on your first day! I'm counting down the days until mid June when my class starts! 110 days, can I ask what state you are in? Wow, that's a long class! Mine is only two

  8. Too expensive for CNA class?

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

    I'm paying $515 for mine at the local tech college. That includes materials, and then I believe it's an additional $135 or so for the cert. testing. If you have any large nursing homes in your area,...

  9. Nursing Specialties

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

    I'm hoping to start out at a clinic in OB/GYN, and later go back for my RN and once my kids are older I'd like to get into L&D. I don't want to work in a hospital right away because I'm sure I'd...

  10. Single moms in school

    Busia replied to Busia's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, I already have planned to add in some study time outside of the house, I think that will really help! I have a couple days where my littlest's preschool starts about an hour and a half earlier...

  11. Taking the plunge, I mean inching into the kiddie pool

    Busia replied to Syntax error's topic in General Nursing

    It's sure nice to read of all the later-in-life students! I'm 32 as well, married with three young children, and am going back to school now! It feels very strange, and I feel SOOOO old when I go to...
