  1. TEAS V score

    RunnerRN2015 replied to sacnurse's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took it earlier today. Finished in 2 hours with a 86.7%, which is the 97% percentile. I didn't study other than a quick review of the science sections of the McGrawHill book last

  2. Would you recommend doing a CNA program?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It may not help you but it certainly wouldn't hurt you! My school doesn't count "working as a CNA" toward admission but once we're admitted, we DO have to show either a) that we have taken an approved...

  3. Pediatrics- school age/ortho/trauma: what to expect?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in Pediatric

  4. Do all LTC's chart the meals on the MAR's?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I worked at a LTC facility (CNA), we had to chart meal percentages for every meal, record every snack, record when they urinated, and keep track of BMs, including size and firmness. If they...

  6. What do you have to do to become a CNA?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Depends. Mine was once a week all day for 14 weeks (10 classes and 4 clinical days). Other classes met 2 evenings a week for 14 weeks while 1 class met M-Th all day and were done in a few weeks. I...

  7. What do you have to do to become a CNA?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Find a school or facility that offers a CNA course. My school (a small private health sciences school) offers it so I took it there. Community colleges offer them,

  8. What Q's to ask during an interview+whats a good ratio of residentsto CNA

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Lacymom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm interested in patient/CNA ratio, scheduling (rotating? self-scheduling?), duties/what a "typical" shift would look like, the average patient age and the diagnoses/conditions of the patients on the...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in Pediatric

    I interviewed for the night shift so *maybe* I'll be working with you soon! A friend and classmate of mine works on the floor and he loves it. I know I would, too! FINGERS CROSSED! The wait for "the...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in Pediatric

    I feel the interview went well. Peer interviews are always a bit awkward but I think I handled it well and answered the questions appropiately. I should find out late next week. My fingers are...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. CNA license expires 8/11/2013

    RunnerRN2015 replied to EduardoLugo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If it doesn't expire until August 2013, you still have 11 months to find a job. As far as the number of hours required to stay on the registry, it varies by state so you'll have to find that out for...

  14. What was your average/GPA when you got accepted?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to cerickson22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My high school was back in the 80s so it wasn't as important (3.0 maybe?) as my recent college classes (even though they were all in the field of early childhood), which was 4.0. My current GPA in the...

  15. 88 on first A&P exam

    RunnerRN2015 replied to 1futurenurse12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school you're exempt from the final if you get either a) a 90 on all 4 lecture exams or b) an average of 92 on all 4 lecture exams. My goal is to always NOT have to take the final so I made sure...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in General Students

  17. Am I a CNA or a PCT?

    RunnerRN2015 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    We don't have PCTs here but we have Healthcare Techs. It also requires a CNA certificate but it's not the same duties. CNAs do all the personal patient care, vitals, etc whereas a Healthcare Tech...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had our first lecture exam yesterday (chapters 1,2,4,5, and 7) and I got a 94%. Happy about that! I definitely don't need to study as much as I did for A&P. I have a 100% so far in lab (1 quiz...
