I am far to new into the program to decide how it is yet. The first class was research and it was brutal. Main in part because the instructor was traveling so not really available. I still pulled a "A" in the class though so I was happy about that. I...

Thank you for replying. I guess my confusion comes in as how can an MA pass meds and do IMs without come sort of certification? I know people use MAs in these capacities but it just seems like there has to be more to this. If I as a RN train a MA to ...

Can some of you share what resources you are using for nursing group ideas? I have been using Life Skills but I just feel like there has to be other resources out there better suited for an adult acute population. I would love to hear what everyone ...

Well it would have been nice of me to answer your questions a lot sooner huh! So sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. So many things just jumped up in life and time got away from me. YES YES YES I passed! I am officially board certified!...
