    IsmeAmanda replied to Khiebert's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  3. Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    IsmeAmanda replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    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...

    IsmeAmanda replied to HeatherMax's topic in School

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

  5. Was I at fault? the nurse embarrassed me in front of others.

    IsmeAmanda replied to crunchytaco's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OMG UNACCEPTABLE!

  6. Anyone at Dekalb Medical Center?

    IsmeAmanda replied to mshessle's topic in Georgia Nursing

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

  7. Newton Medical Center

    IsmeAmanda replied to mshessle's topic in Georgia Nursing

    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...

  8. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    IsmeAmanda replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

  9. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    IsmeAmanda replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  10. Clinical Failure

    IsmeAmanda replied to student1919's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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....

  11. Would you recommend doing a CNA program?

    IsmeAmanda replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    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...

  12. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    IsmeAmanda replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

  13. Just wanna share my nclex experience

    IsmeAmanda replied to Jasminelfue's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

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

  14. I lol at the stud who quit because he had to empty a bedpan...

    IsmeAmanda replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    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...

  15. I think I made a boo-boo...

    IsmeAmanda replied to MeganNCA's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  16. So...I definitely just failed Med-Surg :(

    IsmeAmanda replied to Nursing_Mamacita's topic in General Students

    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,...

  17. Midterms are this week Yikes!! Do i have a chance of passing?

    IsmeAmanda replied to Ms.Emt's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

  18. Paramedics rank higher than LPNs?

    IsmeAmanda replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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...

  19. Why do some nurses guess on BP?

    IsmeAmanda replied to Dixon, future NP's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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...

  20. What does PSSX mean in a careplan?

    IsmeAmanda posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    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

  21. What does PSSX mean in a careplan?

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

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

  22. PCTs giving injections!

    IsmeAmanda replied to Kdrenee's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

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

  23. What does PSSX mean in a careplan?

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

    First page bump? No one

  24. Home Health vs. Working in a Facility

    IsmeAmanda posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    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...

  25. Is it bad to apply online?

    IsmeAmanda replied to MimiLPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...
