  2. I'm scared of not being able to get all that stuff in time for December 2 also. I really really had that they require so much of us, in such a little amount of time. I mean, we knew we needed a...
  3. I'm DM N/W I think there were a LOT of screw-ups. Hard to believe that HCC has a great nursing program with all the hiccups along the way before you even GET to nursing. Seems like this is a "normal"...

  5. Should a CNA be told of patients condition

  12. I challenged the FL test about 5 years ago. Remember to knock and announce yourself to the patient, check armbands before doing any procedure. When I did my clinical test, the instructor told me how...
  13. Debating on CNA job

    I have been a CNA for 17 years. I'm going into nursing school starting in January. IMO, I would say that being a CNA may not be a requirement, but it would be a HUGE asset if it's something you are...
