  1. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    lillymom replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    That is the norm for nearly all the classes at my school period. It is mostly in the fall when all the freshly graduated high school students sign up to start and they aren't ready for the complete...

  2. Need nurses' point of views

    lillymom replied to bethygean's topic in General Students

    Most doctor's offices work on a 8-5 schedule so that is an option. You will probably have to do clinicals that last 12 hrs

  3. CMA to RN

    lillymom replied to SDL87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your goal is to be an RN then don't do the MA program. The medical courses that you take in the MA program do not count towards your RN because they are totally different healthcare fields and...

  4. ADN class of 2013

    lillymom replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    Oh that is awful. Hopefully they will find it or maybe the MD that you went to kept a copy of it scanned in to your chart. I made copies of all my records that I am going to send for that reason and I...

  5. Should I Quit My Job?

    lillymom replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in General Students

    Honestly if I could live and not go bankrupt while in nursing school then I wouldn't work. Unfortunately that is not an option at all for me so I am forced to work and go to school. I say that it...

  6. Measuring Respirations.

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

    When you do the state testing in NC you will be partnered with someone else who is doing thier skills as well. I personally would not want someone putting thier hand on my stomach to count the...

  7. In CNA class...required to take blood pressure of 100 people!!!

    lillymom replied to CarolinaGirl1112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh Okay. Every facility around here requires full vitals on all pt's on at least a daily basis so it just seemed a little strange to me. We are also tested on full vitals in my state and they are...

  8. Would you sacrifice to be able to go to nursing school

    lillymom replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    I would also suggest that you continue with your schooling. In my state they have a WIA program that will pay for your gas, bills, and other things to make sure that you can go to school. There are...

  9. In CNA class...required to take blood pressure of 100 people!!!

    lillymom replied to CarolinaGirl1112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Do you not have to have clinicals for your CNA classes and how is it even possible to not take a BP in a LTCF? Who does take the BP's? Every CNA course in my state requires clinicals so it is easy...

  10. Syringe sq vs auto-injector (epi pen, etc)

    lillymom replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    Humira comes in the syringe form and most of our pt's who are in a healthcare type field prefer the syringes. Ask your MD to prescribe those instead. I think a lot of it has to do with lay people...

  11. Official nursing student fall 2011 stand up!!!

    lillymom replied to adorable42181's topic in General Students

    :ancong!: to all including me. I start school in mid August, GPA 3.69 and TEAS 87. I perfer not to name my school since I think some of the instructors roam this site(not that I would put anything...

  12. PCTs, Can I see your resume?

    lillymom replied to oceanmama's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thanks for the response. I have done phlebotomy with my medical assisting program but haven't practiced it in about four years so I am rusty. I think I will call the hospital and see if they have...

  13. Anybody have experience with Polymyositis?

    lillymom replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    I do alot with insurance with patients and it is ridiculous. MOst of the medicare pts can't afford the TNF's that they need for the disease so they try to get outside assistance. Most of them cost...

  14. Medical Records and Insurance Required for Admission Plus ????

    lillymom replied to manda314's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't even notice the grammar! I just thought they wanted to know what the medical forms consisted of. There was a post awhile back about the dental issue as well and nobody could really tell why...

  15. Anybody have experience with Polymyositis?

    lillymom replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, When you work or have these autoimmune conditions it a different world. I am not in nursing school yet but I have an idea that they don't cover that in nursing school or medical school as much...

  16. PCTs, Can I see your resume?

    lillymom replied to oceanmama's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    blazerguy where did you take a phlebotomy class for 2 days at? i would like to take a refresher but i can't find a class that isn't 4-5 months long.

  17. medical assisting.... a waste of time/money???

    lillymom replied to ticklethesun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow sounds like your school is ripping you off. Is the program accredited at all? It sounds like it is one of the many bogus MA programs that I hear about constantly. I am a CMA,AAMA(I had a great...

  18. Medical Records and Insurance Required for Admission Plus ????

    lillymom replied to manda314's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't live in TX but I also have to include a dental form that just asks if there are any issues and if so what the treatment plans are. The medical forms basically ask the same thing. The doctor...

  19. Anybody have experience with Polymyositis?

    lillymom replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    I work with pt's that have this and you definately need to see a rheumatologist if you haven't already. There are not many people that have this but most are on continuous low dose prednisone...

  20. Appropriate questions.

    lillymom replied to Toradol's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a physician's office and we have started using electronic health records. From what our physicians tell us we have to fill out "smart forms" to report to the government. They have some...

  21. Another tattoo question thread...

    lillymom replied to MarkieMark's topic in General Nursing

    You can PM me but I'm just now starting the RN program so I may not be able to help all that much. I think that you have to have 15 posts to be able to PM as

  22. Was offered a position in a very strange way...need some advise!

    lillymom replied to PchezRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse but I have worked in a couple of clinics. The ones that I worked at did not have me fill out an application or do a drug test. I don't recall either one doing a credit check as...

  23. Calling a Patient 'Sugar': Abuse?

    lillymom replied to Trancelation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that this is a southern thing. I have lived in the south all my life and I get called and hear others being called dear, sweetie, honey, sugar, darling, doll, and love on a daily basis. Many...

  24. Live off loans or work during nursing school?

    lillymom replied to travelgurl18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think she has already applied and is awaiting acceptance. If I was accepted I wouldn't back out unless absolutely necessary. I would just put my nose to the grindstone and work it out somehow.

  25. Live off loans or work during nursing school?

    lillymom replied to travelgurl18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say that since you are young and, I am assuming, have no children then go ahead and work some while going to school. You should have sufficient time to study, go to class, and work. There...
