   nguyency77 replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in General Students

   I wish I had known this before I started my first semester of nursing school; but I'll pass along the torch in the hope that you don't have to go through what I did! Between classes, pay attention to...

   Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

   nguyency77 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Couldn't have said it better myself. My clinical instructor praised me at the end of our first clinical. I don't get compliments like that every day, so it meant a lot coming from an instructor I...

   'Nurses eat their young' is an understatement. What has your experience been?

   nguyency77 replied to cbOmahaNE's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   If I see them and it's convenient for me, I will say hello. But if they are scattered throughout the facility (a couple at the med carts, hiding in the break room, and some down this hall and some...

   nguyency77 replied to cbOmahaNE's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   I'm sorry you had a difficult experience, but allow me to point something out... Maybe this is assuming too much, but why do you think the CNAs should have said hello to you? Our teachers drill this...

   nguyency77 replied to SmYle4PeDs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CNA Supervisor or all under DON/ADON

    nguyency77 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Calling all CNA's. What is your typical day like at work?

    nguyency77 replied to HappyBee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    fuzzywuzzy: In my state, we are not allowed to cut nails whether we are a CNA or a RN because of the risk to diabetic patients! So my old facility used to have a podiatrist come in but I've never seen...
