    juliaann replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    Will I learn this in CNA class?

    juliaann replied to can'tdecide's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I performed chest compressions on a patient just about 30 minutes ago. I'm a CNA. When I'm present at a code, you better believe I get in line and take my turn doing compressions and let the nurses...

    question: 1 on one what to do?

    juliaann replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure the OP is asking about being a 1:1 sitter, not a 1:1 nurse-to-patient in a critical care setting. The policy where I work is the sitter must remain in eye contact of the patient at all...

    ...best jobs while in nursing school.

    juliaann replied to brotherbear's topic in General Students

    I didn't go through a program. I started at my hospital as a CNA on a cardiac floor. I thought cardiology was really interesting, so when I had the opportunity to take a basic dysrhythmia class after...

    CNA course vs. a PCT course? Also, how long do you have to renew?

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

    Now, a lot of this depends on your state...but here's my experience: 1) PCT programs tend to be longer/more involved than CNA programs. Many CNA programs can be done in 2 weeks, though there are 8...
