    mynhii posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello, everyone. I have been accepted in the Fall 2012 LVN program at Los Medanos College I have a question which may sound ridiculous to you. Is it possible for an LVN to find a job without IV &...

  2. Delegating task

    mynhii posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing clinical practice for my CNA program, and I realize that it is easier to follow guidance than actually guide someone. I have finished my prerequisites for nursing and am ready to apply for...

  3. Delegating task

    mynhii replied to mynhii's topic in General Nursing

    Am I going to learn how to delegate in nursing school? Or will I only learn about law and skills? I check CSU East Bay course description, and I don't see any course that teaches leadership role. Is...

  4. Delegating task

    mynhii replied to mynhii's topic in General Nursing

    Well, unless my understanding of delegate (authorize) is wrong, my CNA doesn't really delegate. She simply does her job although she explains a bit. My classmate and I only need to observe and...

    Oh no, my mom is not adding fuel to the fire. My family is Vietnamese. Unlike Americans, Vietnamese people are not used to giving positive comments all the time. Especially my mom is a direct,...

  6. Delegating task

    mynhii replied to mynhii's topic in General Nursing

    I really appreciate everyone's advice. I always know that I'm not a natural leader. I have a cousin who studies cognitive science although he wants to be a doctor. He's like my mom, a good role model...

  8. CNA's - What hours do you work?

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

    When you applied for your job, did your employer tell you which schedule needed to be filled? I assume that when a nursing home hires us, they expect new employees to work around certain shifts they...

  9. CNA's - What hours do you work?

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

    Certainly when you work in a facility or hospital for a long time, you can switch different shifts as you wish, can't you? For me, if I do that, perhaps no employer even wants to hire

  10. CNA's - What hours do you work?

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

    Thank you very much for your answer. If I'm lucky to get a CNA job after finishing the program, I will take it seriously. This seems to be the only way that I can gain healthcare experience. Certainly...

  11. how does a newly certified nursing asisstant find a job?

    mynhii replied to james112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you saying that the problem with brand new CNA is that they tend to quit afer a period of training and the one that stays is reluctant to work? Then all the money is wasted. If that is the case,...

  12. how does a newly certified nursing asisstant find a job?

    mynhii replied to james112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can't believe this is happening. I don't want to belittle our profession, but we are at the bottom of the nursing ladder. Our job is physically demanding, but it's not as highly critical thinking as...

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

    I really appreciate with all of your encourgement. I'm happy that I don't have to change to be an extrovert. I understand what you say. It seems like American women talk more than men, but men tend...

  17. Can't get hired as a CNA!!

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

    I'm worried about this issue too, but my problem is even greater because I'm gay. I have never flirted with or jumped on anyone, but I don't know if my future employer will consider my sexual...

  18. 15-hour workweek for CNA ?!

    mynhii replied to bbrewer001's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hope you don't mind me asking people here a similar question. I want to become a surgical technician. However, the job seems scarce compared to CNA. I want to be a CNA first to gain some experience...

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

    Thank you very much. I'm still thinking about becoming an RN. However, even if I do go on my education, I still prefer geriatrics. Not sounding like a racist, I have heard horrible stories about how...
