    Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    WannaBNursey replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I know that my school requires white scrubs for clinicals and for classes, or a polo shirt and khakis for classes. I'm not so excited about those white scrubs. I'll be wearing Depends when Aunt Flo...

    New Home Health Aid Wants to Transfer in to an LTC - Best Way to go about it?

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

    I wish I would have read your post first! I am having the exact same problem (I have CNA certification) but I'm trying to break into the hospital

    home health agencies

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

    You can have a reputable Home Health job. There are plenty of big companies like Grannies Nannies around the U.S. and are plenty reputable. Being in home health can be very beneficial. For both of...

    Harassed at work

    WannaBNursey replied to catebsn25's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm going to guess you are working private duty in somebody's home? Things like this happen all the time, but it doesn't make it ok. Really the only thing you can do is quit. If you were working for...

    What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thanks! At least now I know why I haven't been getting call

    Does volunteering at a hospital help?

    WannaBNursey replied to DarkLotus's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm trying to move from Home Health to hospital work. Volunteers have to pay a due at the hospitals in my area, so I'm not really interested in paying to do work, but if it's really helpful maybe I...

    Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    WannaBNursey replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I could just see the snowball effect in something like this. First they stop hiring "fatties", then they stop hiring brunettes. Brunettes aren't protected under the constitution so there shouldn't be...

    What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Well, I bombed my interview. I am still embarrassed an entire day later. Oh and apparently my CPR wasn't good enough. It was BLS CPR for Healthcare Providers, but it wasn't through American Red Cross...

    I applied to only 2 and was accepted to 1, but that's one more than what I thought would accept

    Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

    WannaBNursey replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a "right to work" state. It's my understanding that I can be fired for any reason and I can quit for any reason. So if I'm to fat for my employer (I am severely obese) they can just up and...

    What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm going to wear a black, knee-length skirt, black shoes, a gray and black coat and a green tank underneath. I have my interview tomorrow. Greatest strength: Dedication. Greatest weakness: I work too...

    If I don't get accepted, what should I do in the meantime?

    WannaBNursey replied to NaomiD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why all the big schools? There are some community colleges that would have taken you, and some that still will! If you apply by May 15th out here you can try to get into Edison in Lee county. An RN...

    Rejection letter

    WannaBNursey replied to bluesky101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't believe that they take anything besides just your GPA and test scores. You're lucky that you have a school that sort of looks at the whole picture. All the schools out by me do point system,...

    Moving from NY to FL, what part/city of Fl would you recommend?

    WannaBNursey replied to purpledrop's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is no state income tax in Florida, which explains why the schools are so underfunded! I don't know about the East Coast of Florida though sorry. I know it's a little more expensive on the East...

    Moving from NY to FL, what part/city of Fl would you recommend?

    WannaBNursey replied to purpledrop's topic in Florida Nursing

    I really really really don't recommend moving anywhere near orlando. I lived there when I was a kid, and it was already becomming trashy, now anywhere semiaffordable is the absolute ghetto. I suggest...

    Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    WannaBNursey replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    With how hard it is to even get into nursing school, much less finish it, I'm surprised at the cockiness that some of you say that nursing students have. How can one be blase about being a nurse when...

    Tired of nurses treating aides, CNA, HHA, etc. like crap!

    WannaBNursey replied to Xavier97x2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've never had to call the agency when I got to a house, or when I left, or to go anywhere. In fact, the nurses didn't like to be bothered much. I had no issues with my nurses actually, only once was...

    What skills did YOU get at the CNA state exam?

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

    First time, I failed btw I had range of motion, empty urinary drainage bag, and pericare on a female with an indwelling catheter. I was trained in Tennessee and challenged the test in Florida, in my...

    Florida Hospitals (how much do CNA's get paid hourly?)

    WannaBNursey replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    $9.00 an hour is about what you will make working anywhere in SW Florida, I get insulted when I'm offered less than that. My friend's mother makes $13.00 an hour working as a CNA in a hospital, but...

    What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    When I first went to my interview for the CNA program, I dressed like I would for an office interview and my instructor told me to dress in scrubs next time I interviewed for a CNA position. "Always...

    C.N.A vs Medical Assistant

    WannaBNursey replied to hhnurse35's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As other people have said, the main difference between a CNA and Medical Assistants is that CNA's get a jobs and MA's beg for them, at least in my area. A family friend went through an MA program and...

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thanks! I'm excited!!!! Is this your very first CNA job? Home Health was so strange to me, because I was trained in a nursing home where you had help, and lift teams, and a nurse to immediately answer...

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I just got a call back today! I did an over the phone, screening interview. I wasn't even going to apply for the position because the hospital is a little farther away than I would prefer. The HR...
