I have these also. I just learned that we cant use a calculator. Im good on it except like fractions. GRRRRRR fractions >. How did you do on your TEAS??

Peace & Blessings be upon you, I am sorry you are not happy with your score. Actually it is not that bad! Because you see the national average is about 50%-60%. As long as you score ABOVE that you will probably be considered by the ADN program. ...

In GA, my sister in law is a LPN and is a school nurse :)

OMG UNACCEPTABLE! Sickening!

I like their non-smokers policy. They dont hire anyone who has used tobacco in I think the past 3 months.

That's my local hospital! There really is nothing remarkably good or remarkably bad about them. Although that is where my sister in law got her first job as a LPN and worked there for 7 years before making a career switch to public health. She reall...

Have you considered being a Laboratory Tech? Lots of science, not so many patient interaction :)

As a CNA, I disagree! CNA work is nothing like RN work. CNA's honestly do a lot of the grunt work and dirty work (changing adult briefs, using hoyer lifts on patients, feeding, etc.) I think maybe your teacher is feeling a little bitter you dislike...

Advice: Stop showing up late, dont wear nail polish. And you missed the TB test window? Dude, you're putting others at risk. In my last CNA class 2 people have positive TB skin tests and had no idea. Can you imagine if they went to clinical like tha...

I completed a CNA class for the 2nd time in May, and this time i actually used my certificate. I got some good experience over the summer as a home health aide. I'm a bit swamped right now with school and my main job (assistant store manager at a sto...

UK's VAT is not "astronomical" My husband is British and I lived there for 2 years. Most of them are actually happy with the system and it is working. People need to stop being willfully ignorant about things from other countries. Chances are, if you...

I'm sorry, can someone tell me what is the "good pop up" trick?

I had a girl drop out of my CNA class too. I was like "Did you not read the job description before enrolling? Its quite clear what our job is." I think that was probably a hurtful experience for a resident. How would you feel if you couldnt help yo...

Same with me. I live in Georgia, and my textbook said never touch oxygen levels. BUT I was thinking since her floor is specific maybe she has a broader scope. Base CNA's learn pretty much the same thing, but some CNA's are taught to do extra. Like t...

To be honest, 3 months is not that bad of a push back. Can you imagine 6 months - 1 year? Keep your head up. I thnk everyone is bound to fail a class at some point. You just have to cut your losses, re-strategize, and try again.

What class is it? About how many grades do you have left? (quizes, tests, final exam, any papers?) Because if you only have 1 test and then a final - yes you're screwed. If you have like 4 quizes, 2 tests, a final, a short essay, etc, then I'd say t...

Hrrrm...can these two levels really be compared? At my college, a Paramedic is an Associates degree. Where as LPN is just a diploma. I think it would be more fair to compare Associates RN degree and Associates Paramedic Degree (in the case of educa...

I've seen people take BP crazy different ways. I think they dont want to take the whole minute to do something. I have been to LTC facilities where CNA's didnt even know how to take BP. SORRY BUT ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE YA'LL.

Hey ya'll, I dont mean to sound stupid, but what does PSSX mean? I did take Medical Terminology and I dont think this was taught. In context: It says, "PSS, PSSX, Sitter, HMA" With PSSX checked.

Yeap, have to wait till Monday. Oh well. I think it's related more to me, than the patient.

I've heard of CNA's in hospitals inserting Foleys. I think these laws vary from state to state which I find very annoying :uhoh21:

First page bump? No one knows?

Hey ya'll, I'm currently working as a CNA in a home health setting. Usually my clients just came from a rehabilitation center and are living at home again. My job is to help them gain independence so they can live alone again. It has its pro's and ...

I think it depends on each hiring person individually. Where I work, when people come in with an application my supervisor tells us to take it, say thank you and just turn the resume into a folder in the main office. If they ask to speak to the HR pe...
