  1. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    lillymom replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is where they give you a fill in the blank test but they provide the words to use in the blanks in a word bank at the top of the page. I had a basic chemistry class last semester and we had a week...

  2. Irritating Classmates

    lillymom replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I am a CMA and when we had orientation the instructor said that you have to take a bath daily and wear appropriate clothing(no holes in any part of your clothes, no thongs showing, no cleavage, and no...

  3. Anyone going into nursing because of an interest in science?

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

    I chose nursing because that is what I was meant for. I have always been a caregiver of some type. I used to volunteer at the local LTC when I was 12 until I was able to work there as a CNA when I...

  4. Residents who are constantly on the call bell... help!

    lillymom replied to rainbowsandsunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We used to have a lady that would do that where I worked. She was lonely and wanted to have interaction with someone, she never had friends or family visit and the person she shared a room with...

  5. Rules of the Dr.office

    lillymom replied to prowlingMA's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work in a specialty office so we do not keep emergent appointments since the conditions we treat are not life threatening. We are not a normal MD office so please do not think that we can see you...

  6. Joint Commission choose me...question!

    lillymom replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the MD's in my office use it but I'm not sure if it is an accepted

  7. TB Skin test question

    lillymom replied to new_worker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't think they can discriminate based on the test. We have to have one every year and if anyone comes up positive we have to do the treatment. We have quite a few pt's that have positive TB...

  8. Frustration with HR/ Nurse recruiters- Just a vent

    lillymom replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Athough I don't agree with them trying to schedule for interviews at the last minute, I can understand why they might do it. They probably want someone who they can call at any time to come in to...

  9. What do you have to wear???

    lillymom replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    My school's nursing program used to make students wear white uniforms. They recently changed it to dark solids because almost all the students were wearing very bright underwear even though they were...

  10. Looking professional all day long . . .

    lillymom replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Nursing

    You have my hair! I have the exact same type of problems with my hair. I still haven't found anything that really works. I just wash it and put it in a pony tail. If I blowdry or use straight iron I...

  11. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    lillymom replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in school my instructor had anyone that had face piercings or tats cover them up and we could only wear wedding bands/engagement rings and post earings. Her reasoning for each were because...

  12. medical assistant

    lillymom replied to sabita143's topic in General Students

    It depends on where you live. LPN's do not make any more than most CMA's where I am from. In fact there are a lot of office's that are strictly CMA's, office managers included. Most of the people...

  13. young mom, nursing school, job can i do it?

    lillymom replied to thinkbe4youink's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I would wait until your child is in school. Until then I would suggest you get your CNA and work hard to save your money. I would also take one required non-nursing class per semester...

  14. LTC and med orders

    lillymom replied to cleo777's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I work in a doctors office and when the docs get stuff like this they don't pay that much attention. I'm not sure if this is allowed(since I don't work in LTC) but if so I would state pt has dry...

  15. I Quit!! What do I say?

    lillymom replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely tell the truth. I would also tell them why. I started working at fast food and have worked in many healthcare fields as a cna and now a cma, going for rn. I was always brutally...
