  1. CNA training, what to expect?

    IsmeAmanda replied to DreamChaser81's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The main focus will be on skills. Of course you will learn things like....respecting the resident, residents rights, residents privacy. Honestly, I found all that common sense. Skills you learn will...

  2. What skills did YOU get at the CNA state exam?

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

  4. Is it normal for them to just let us take care of the pt's on our own??

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

    I would not say its normal because in my clinical we couldn't transfer residents or be alone with them in the showers for liability reasons. 2 students does not equal a

  5. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

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

    I would like to add that in my LTC job, men aides work with men. And female aides work with mainly women. There is a rare time when a female CNA has a male, but its rare. I know it's not like that in...

  6. Taking a pay cut?

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

    Good luck with the hospital interview! I hope you rock it too =) All the hospitals near me require CNA's to have a EMT certification. It's appauling that CNA's get paid minimum wage but I feel a job...

  7. CNA now or wait for nursing school

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

    As some others said, even shift is always available. It's normally 3pm-11pm and no one ever wants that shift, lol. I am a CNA and I want to go to LPN school but not immediately. I am of course in LTC...

  8. First day of CNA clinical - Elder abuse?

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

    As some others have said, you will have more than one patient BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN A PERSON SHOULD VALUE QUANTITY OVER QUALITY. In my clinicals, my CNA was awesome. She was fast and always listened...

  9. Taking a pay cut?

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

    It's only 40 cents. And from the places I've seen at least in Georgia - CNA is a minimum wage job. But there are pay differentials for the later hour shifts. Like 3p-11pm and the graveyard. I'm in...

  12. We don't hire new nurses.

    IsmeAmanda replied to rrich1084's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have found no matter what education you have or level, its hard to find a job. I have a sister in law who actually gets multiple job offers (her serendipity I guess) and a sister who has a higher...

  13. YAY!!! Passed my TEAS! :)

    IsmeAmanda replied to futureLPN13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They give an interview!? My technical college is not preparing me for all this. I just learned about the TEAS test from my anatomy teacher 3 weeks ago, You'd think the guidance counselor would tell us...

  15. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    IsmeAmanda replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Assalamu alaykum wa ramatullah wa barakatu Muslim nurses I do not yet wear the hijab but I plan to insha'Allah. Where I go to school there is 1 other Muslimah and she is a hijabi. She seems to not...

  16. Volunteer gig, need some advice from senior nurses

    IsmeAmanda replied to IsmeAmanda's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps reading to people sounds good. as for your "craft" idea: the thing is, at this nursing home, most of them have dementia/alzheimers and i did my clinical there. there is no kind of crafting...

  18. Associates RN vs BSN

    IsmeAmanda replied to derekfitness's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wait, why does it matter if you have an Associates or a BSN? Both have to take the NCLEX-RN and pass it to show their competency,

  19. Are LPNs being phased out?

    IsmeAmanda replied to zandile2011's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Not in Georgia, my cousin has been a LPN for 6 years and she's worked in a doctors office, a hospital, and now shes a school nurse. Actually, I heard Medical Assistants & CNA's were being phased...

  20. CNA or LPN??

    IsmeAmanda replied to nursingdreams's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    NursL has the right information, but Poptart makes a good point. If you have time and some money to spare, i guess taking a CNA class to see if it's right for you is not a bad idea. Since my CNA...

  21. Whare are some of the people skills you need as a RN?

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

    Well considering they do a lot if not most of their work WITH people I'd say not taking things personally, being able to make or be fine with small talk and not get angry if asked repetitive or...
