    CaitlinLiz replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

    Your suggestion was perfect! I got on my profile for SitterCity, and someone had written me for a nanny job on the days I'm not working!! The days I have off are the exact days they needed someone, it...

    CaitlinLiz replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I definately will type out a letter! I just have a hard time when it comes to parting ways, but especially in this situation because it is a much smaller office and everyone becomes very close, if you...

  4. I really need some insight. Maybe just someone to say suck it up.

    CaitlinLiz replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

  5. I really need some insight. Maybe just someone to say suck it up.

    CaitlinLiz replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I have thought about it, but I guess I'm just nervous because my whole life has been medical field and I guess I could say in a way it's all I know and all I am used to. When I was 14 I was...

  6. I really need some insight. Maybe just someone to say suck it up.

    CaitlinLiz replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

    Well see the part that makes it so "I have to do this right now" is that I am not going to work while I'm in school. Since my dad is being an amazing man and letting me stay at home while I'm in...

    CaitlinLiz replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    That really stinks. Although I can't say I know exactly how you feel I had a couple of run ins like that when I was in my CNA program. It's frusterating when you get completely different answers from...

    CaitlinLiz replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

    Your right. I just feel so bad. I'm already in tears sitting here on my computer, I don't know what I'm going to do when I have to type and letter and then tell my Dr. in person. I'm going to be a...

  9. CNA question

    CaitlinLiz replied to amy874's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can take the program up here at a community college as an out of state resident, just be prepared for the hike in price of the program. You could always just switch over your mailing address to...

    CaitlinLiz replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I have never met anyone at the hospital I am thinking about applying at. I saw the job positions on the career website and have only talked to them over the phone. I don't think I would ask what each...

    CaitlinLiz posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! So I am looking at a hospital website at open job positions, and they have several CNA positions listed. They are listed by what I believe is the unit number, for instance: 11-2, 8-5, 11-5,...

  19. Don't know how to cope with it all.........

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

    The first thing that stood out to me in your message was that you have 20 patients per person. That is definately way to many *to be able to care for them all correctly*. Yes, you can care for them...

  20. CNA trainees peforming peri-care in class on each other? Is this true?

    CaitlinLiz replied to Dream Girl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  23. Hospital vs. Nursing Home

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

    Well, here in NJ there is a lot more opportunity (in my opinion) at a hospital. Hospitals tend to teach CNA's to do things such as phlebotomy and EKG's that they otherwise would not be able to do. You...

  24. Can I bring these stuff to clinical?

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