    msmo replied to msmo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks for the feedback, all. I will keep after the HR people I guess and keep looking for any type of work I can get in the meantime.

  3. Things you wish you knew before clinicals?

    msmo replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  5. how will i remember all of this..

    msmo replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe try making a list of all the departments with their floor numbers and write it over and over (and over and over)? That technique helps me when I have a lot to memorize. Or do flash cards with...

  6. How did your clinicals go?

    msmo posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just finished my CNA clinicals at a nursing home and I don't feel great about how it went. I was really nervous as I have never done any kind of health care work, and I know how fragile those...

  7. How did your clinicals go?

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

    A fustercluck, lol, good word. It does sound like yours didn't go quite as planned...but I like how yours was planned, anyway. We had a couple of times where we'd go to do something and find our...

    msmo replied to nurs101's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didn't know anyone to ask for recommendations in my area (SW MI) so I just looked on the MI BON website for approved CNA programs and chose one from their list. (Advance Medical Training, Inc.) They...

    msmo replied to jamiemd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem. I'm taking it at a local medical training center (Advance Medical). They were listed on my state's board of nursing's approved training list and their class schedule worked out best for...

    msmo replied to jamiemd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Pre-CNA vent...

    msmo posted a topic in General Students

    I've been waiting since 3/8 to hear back from my doctor. Isn't that a bit much? I need his written clearance to get into a CNA class because I have scoliosis and the school is possibly paranoid...

    LOL, yeah I've typed some doozies with my autospeller, too! Thanks for the reply. Someone else I was talking to today suggested that too, about just going in and telling them: I'm here to get my...

  24. Not Able to Become A Nurse

    msmo replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're feeling so discouraged, but don't give up on health care altogether, if nursing can't happen. There are lots of other roles than nursing that involve patient care. I am not a nurse,...
