  1. DALLAS CNA schools?

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

    Sorry, forgot to add Maria's Career Institute is also in Mesquite. tech raider77: ooh, do you have Miss Catherine or Ms

  2. DALLAS CNA schools?

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

    Don't pay $900 for Hearts in Training, it's definitely not worth it. C.E. Global Health Education in Mesquite charges $585 for everything included and they're really nice people. Maria Career...

  3. Dallas Nursing Institute

    pomegranate replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    They told me they do a payment plan for the $2800 not covered by loans if you put $437 down.......they also told me if I didn't have it I could get a private loan for that

  4. Can I bring these stuff to clinical?

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

    All I brought with me was my keys, my lunch, my phone and my lip balm. Honestly, though, I can't imagine they'd let you wear a sweater over your scrubs...if you think you'll be cold (which is...

    pomegranate replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hm well I just took the NET and it wasn't very hard. If you want to do exam prep I would suggest just using websites online. I bought a "Nursing School Entrance Exam" prep book at Barnes and Noble...

  7. Male perineal care? Please help!

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

    There's actually a girl in my class I'm pretty sure my instructor is gonna fail because she won't/can't do peri-care. She's run out of the room twice and today she THREW UP when our instructor was...

  8. False reporting

    pomegranate replied to Marlene39's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, you're lucky at least that you got a good CNA to assist. My first day the CNA me and my partner were assisting gave one shower and then spent the entire rest of the time bringing ice to people's...

  9. CNA course and Piercings

    pomegranate replied to Natny23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have my nose pierced, but I wear a really tiny stud and nobody has noticed it yet (or if they have, they haven't said anything) I would plan on taking it out for clinicals, but nobody should say...

  10. How do CNAs "shave" patients?

    pomegranate replied to Green1972's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As far as I know the only thing you're gonna be shaving is a male resident's face, which is really easy once you've done it once or twice. My CNA instructor said that the only time we'd do anything...

  11. SAD interfers with me successeding in nursing

    pomegranate replied to msjam54's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My mom is a teacher and some of her coworkers work as tutors sometimes for private places. It's only a few hours a week, usually on the weekends or in the afternoons, but they pay her coworkers about...

  12. Going Crazy

    pomegranate replied to mlclove's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Oh me too, busystudent! I've only been out of high school 2 years but I still forgot how to do a lot of things. I bought a Nursing Entrance Exam prep book (which also covers the HESI, which I didn't...

  13. Students who are mothers of preschoolers, your study tips/inspiration?

    pomegranate replied to Blessed2beStressed's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Man, even for those of us who don't have kids these are good study tips, cause everyone's got SOMEONE who wants to distract them or doesn't understand how important study time is (even if they aren't...

  14. Going Crazy

    pomegranate replied to mlclove's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ugh I just want to know already when I start! I was supposed to have my admissions interview today but I missed it I rescheduled tomorrow, but I'm so mad at myself for missing it. I hope to start...

  15. Does the school require you 2 pass the class tests & final exam?

    pomegranate replied to ~LingLing~'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At my school if you don't pass written then you can't do skills. If you fail skills you can't go to clinical. If you fail clinical they won't let you take the state test. I don't think it would be a...

  16. Curious about your courses

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

    That seems a little overkill to me for just CNA, though it probably won't hurt if you plan on continuing with nursing. (Though I'd make sure I'm getting credit for it if I were you!) Are they separate...

  17. A Few Questions..(Starting CNA Classes in the Morning)

    pomegranate replied to soon2Bcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh man yeah. There are/were two girls in my class who didn't speak English. One of them failed out due to the written, but they just moved her to the evening class and helped her sign up for an...

    pomegranate replied to soon2Bcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm doing clinicals, so I'm not exactly finished, but.... The classroom portion of our class was pretty easy. We had to memorize some stuff. We only had a packet of worksheets to do over the weekend...

  22. SAD interfers with me successeding in nursing

    pomegranate replied to msjam54's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am in the process of becoming a CNA and I hope to start nursing school this fall. I have Social Anxiety Disorder. One thing that really helps me doing anything new is being overly prepared. I...

  23. New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :)

    pomegranate replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well, I took the NET today and I get my results Friday or so! AAAH I'm so nervous. I want to know so badly if I passed math and if I can enroll for September. I met some nice people today, too bad...

  24. Male perineal care? Please help!

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

    Don't know if you still need to know this, but even if not, I figured somebody later on might look it up...anyway. If the male is circumsised, you clean in a circular motion going around the member...

    pomegranate replied to Txstarr972's topic in Texas Nursing

    I will do that, thanks. I'm just glad to know they use Discover--I have a loan already from them so it'll probably be easier to apply for this
