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

    Being in nursing school means that we're going to know how to cook a frozen burrito in the microwave! :) At least they're cheap, easy and rather tasty! White rice, fresh cilantro and a can of black...

    Nursing Shoes??

    ProudStudent replied to KLBatchelor's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I went with Nurse Mates Dove nursing shoes. They were $60 online, the size fit exactly like my New Balance shoes...so I wouldn't imagine the sizes vary too much. I read many reviews about them, and...

    "You won't like being a CNA!"

    ProudStudent replied to Moriah02's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I became a CNA as a requirement by my school's nursing department. During this time, I did learn that being a CNA is extremely hard -emotionally and physically. If being a nurse were easy, everyone...

    Are all CNAs mean

    ProudStudent replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I personally have known more CNAs to be less than professional, than any other way unfortunately. As a CNA you can't change the world, but you can be sure that everything you do is completed to the...

    Are all CNAs mean

    ProudStudent replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are all CNAs mean

    ProudStudent replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're a new CNA and you do things by the book. My guess would be that if the residents you are taking care of are getting proper care from you, they're going to start asking the other CNAs why...
