    Worried

    Baubo516 replied to *Scarlet_Starlet*'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with interceptinglight - practice, practice, practice! For me, physically walking through the skills, either with a "patient" or without, was very helpful. I talked a lot during my test - I...

    The life cycle of a CNA forum member

    Baubo516 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am at #8 right now. I will have to go back and read some of my former posts to make sure I did not skip a step. After reading many of these responses, I am kind of afraid to post anything else on...

    Baubo516 replied to girlinpearls's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP - I am not a nurse, but I am currently a teacher who is leaving teaching to become a nurse. I am a music teacher, so I had lots of outside of school commitments in addition to the normal...

    School -- Over it.

    Baubo516 replied to SaraStrong's topic in General Students

    I know how it feels to be burnt out. It's OK to feel that way! Try to find something that helps to recharge your batteries. If it's ice cream, don't sweat it! You can lose the weight later when...

    Dear new CNA's

    Baubo516 replied to reussir1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks for getting back to the real advice for new CNA's instead of just making fun of them! I am still in clinicals but will soon by a new CNA.... By the way - at the risk of being ridiculed - why...

    Any nurses who used to be teachers?

    Baubo516 replied to Baubo516's topic in Nursing Career

    Well - I have now had 2 days of clinicals in my CNA class, and I went Friday and registered for summer classes at the community college where I will pursue my ADN. I technically have until the end of...

    Baubo516 replied to pgray1229's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What kind of agencies hire CNA's? I am currently in a training course and did not know this was an option for CNA's. I was thinking that LTC or hospitals were my two

    Baubo516 replied to R!XTER's topic in General Nursing

    R!XTER, I am not a nurse - just a curious "pre-nursing" student. But I read your post and wanted to offer some words of sympathy. I cannot imagine seeing all of that in one day, but I am familiar...

    Baubo516 replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    To the OP - I am sorry that you are having a negative experience with this crop of students. I am currently a MS teacher, and isn't it interesting how each new group that comes through has its own...

    Which type of watch do you reccomend?

    Baubo516 replied to perseveRaNce23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I chose a Timex watch with a white face, real numbers, a sweeping second hand, and it is water resistant. However, the band is cloth - like the straps of a backpack. I guess I was thinking that it...

    Stephanie, Hi there! I am currently a music teacher who is thinking of becoming a nurse. As a teacher, I have taught some students who had Asperger Syndrome. They all had similar issues as the ones...

    Any nurses who used to be teachers?

    Baubo516 replied to Baubo516's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for your response, editor2rn! I will keep you all posted as to how my decision goes. I like the idea of not being expected to work for free.

    What do you say when calling out sick as a nurse?

    Baubo516 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for the added replies! It sounds like employees being sick is a pain no matter what industry you are in... Interestingly, I saw the administrative assistant at work yesterday - the one who...

    Baubo516 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Nursing Career

    General E. Speaking - I hope you feel better soon and that no one gives you a hard time about it. Sinus infections can really knock you out, and if you don't want to overuse antibiotics, the only way...

    What do you say when calling out sick as a nurse?

    Baubo516 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for the replies, guys! I guess it is not all that different from being a teacher. I called in 2 1/2 hours before school started, so it probably wasn't a picnic to find a sub. I am a bit...

    What do you say when calling out sick as a nurse?

    Baubo516 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh yes - it takes 3 keys and key card to get out to my classroom, and the school does not have duplicates for the sub. So, I also have to work out how to get my keys out

    What do you say when calling out sick as a nurse?

    Baubo516 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Nursing Career

    Just curious - If you are working as an RN in either a hospital or a LTC facility, what happens if you are sick (I mean short term - like you have a fever for a few days) and need to miss work. Who...

    Baubo516 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    This whole thread has made me laugh out loud quite a bit! If I were in her class, I would have no problem tattling on her to the instructors. Just wait after class (or clinicals) and talk to the...
