  1. Do you do venipunctures as a nurse?

    lillymom replied to CassB's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that this is something that surprises me. I can understand not learning phlebotomy but not doing IV's sounds crazy to me. They do it at my nursing school and they made us pincushions...

  2. clinical instructor calls me air head

    lillymom replied to medsurg911's topic in General Students

    I can relate to the airhead and lala land remark. People have often asked me where I go when I am concentrating on something(people who know me at least) others think I'm dim. I do hear everything...

  3. Common cna skills/ test day

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

    Where I am from they will always test handwashing and one measurement. They are very strict with these so be sure to know them. The way they did it was the computer gave the instructor a number for...

  4. Online Job Hunting

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

    I am in the same boat as you. I badly need to get on at a hospital because they offer 12 hour shifts and it is all done online. It specifically states on the application when you fill it out to...

  5. Could a CNA teach a CNA program?

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

    This is what the BON in my state says. You need to check your state to see their particular rules. The modules/skills checklists below have been recently revised. A summary of the revisions is...

  6. Times to repeat course or re-enter program

    lillymom replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    If you fail one course at my CC you are out of the program. I think it is mostly because they only offer each particular course once per year and all the higher courses require the one before it...

  7. Who's taken the TEAS v more than once?

    lillymom replied to RN2BEISME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first time I took mine I scored a 74% when I took it again and scored 86%. I did not study anymore than I did the last time but I took a chemistry class so that helped a lot. I also noticed that...

  8. i want to die i failed my cna exam

    lillymom replied to yajaira21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Please don't sweat this too much. I hear in my area they fail them all the time, a certain person does at least. When I tested I know of four with this person that failed and there were only 8...

  9. Is she taking advantage of my RN license?

    lillymom replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to tell her that places do not like to hear references from family members and they may not consider your reference. I have filled out several applications that state: Do not list family...

  10. CNA experince on applications

    lillymom posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am going to start an ADN program in August and I will have to find a job as a CNA since my current employer cannot work with my schedule. I have been filling out online applications but I am...

  11. CNA experince on applications

    lillymom replied to lillymom's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. I just wanted someone else's opinion since I have never done the online applications

  12. Time and days please!!!!

    lillymom replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was on my teas V 5 test but they gave you the difference in hours. In other words, in TN it is 12:00 what time is it in CA and on the chart it would show that time zone in TN at 12:00 and it would...

    lillymom replied to lillymom's topic in General Nursing

    Oops, I meant

  14. Medical assistants

    lillymom replied to JenMarie21's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I'm a CMA and where I went to school we were told to never give medical advise and it was made clear that doing so is practicing without a liscense and can carry major reprecussions. Sounds...

  15. Overheard "You're there to make money, not to talk," in clinical

    lillymom replied to JustaNrsgStudent's topic in General Students

    A lot of the physician practices in my area are hospital owned because they are unable to make it one their own financially. There are a lot of Medicare/Medicaid pt's in my area and the reimbursment...

  16. LPN must obtain CNA cert to reenter school?

    lillymom replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    At my school in NC they don't care if you are a nurse, doctor, or anything else. The Dean of nursing spoke those exact words to me. This only applies if you are apply to the ADN program, not the...

  17. LPN must obtain CNA cert to reenter school?

    lillymom replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    At my school anyone who applies to the ADN program must have current CNA cert, no other experince or title would be accepted. This came directly from the Dean of nursing and she said it was because...

  18. Old people humor

    lillymom replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LOL! This is posted on my mom's fridge along with another rhyme about losing her

  19. How Do You Separate Home Life From Work When They Bleed Together?

    lillymom replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the title thing since I work in an office as well. It's hard to seperate work and family when your family sees the doc's you work for. I try to work where I don't think I will not run...

  20. How Do You Separate Home Life From Work When They Bleed Together?

    lillymom replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't making a personal attack. I am a CMA myself. I was trying to warn you to edit your post so you would not offend the nurses. Most take the title seriously and with pride. Just thought you...

  21. How Do You Separate Home Life From Work When They Bleed Together?

    lillymom replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    "It's only Tuesday, and already it has been the most stressful week I've had since I've became a nurse. Yesterday, it seemed like everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I work in a clinic as a...

  22. Nursing School Selection Process???

    lillymom replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    Yes they can just use your test scores. They may have not given you any credit or a small amount for your essay and experince, either way I don't think they will tell you otherwise since it is...

  23. Impersonating a nurse

    lillymom replied to Elleveein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is definitely wrong for the MA's to call themselves nurses. I am a CMA and proud of my title I actually have an associates degree in medical assisting. I do not call myself a nurse and my name...

  24. You know the untouched left over food items on pt trays>

    lillymom replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think they should be able to give it to a homeless shelter since there is a real need for food there. I have worked in factories before and you would be suprised how dirty they really are and how...

  25. And you thought a thong beneath whites was bad...

    lillymom replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    If she likes being great for her pt's in that way I'm thinking she got into the wrong profession. Maybe she got real nursing confused with dressing up as a nurse to "take care" of her clients. On a...
