    If I could go back to when I started college, I would have choosen nursing.

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

    Never too late. There's plenty of people in my classes who are like 40 and they're going back to school for nursing. :) Best

    What CAN they do? (a vent)

    nguyency77 replied to Nurse Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    Our therapy is really great about toileting people. They're not the sort who will run down every hall looking for me or another CNA just to put some little old lady they could lift with one finger on...

    Gossip in the work place!

    nguyency77 replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People always talk about new people. The way I dealt with it was just to tell them, "Hey, so I'm not so good at _________ yet. If you got a moment later, can you show me how you do it?" Not only can...

    What CAN they do? (a vent)

    nguyency77 replied to Nurse Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    I love when patients' families yell at me and the nurse because dietary can't seem to remember that patient so-and-so hates fish/beef/etc. I'm like sitting there thinking, You folks called us in here,...

    *Microbiology Spring 2012*

    Hahaha what I meant was that I wasn't one of those people who don't study and then whine about failing! purplecav: I bet you

    *Microbiology Spring 2012*

    nguyency77 replied to Lala718's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tell your teacher that he's not doing the experiment, etc. I am not one of those "I am entitled to be treated like a princess" sort of folks, but I know where to draw the line. Moron lab partners...

    Love the residents - HATE the coworkers!!

    nguyency77 replied to krissy.tan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So you're running on more of a schedule than I am. Our dinner doesn't take long. Many of the residents that needed feeding have passed away and there are only about a handful left as far as I know....

    Summer 2012 - Check in

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

    I'm going to take Pathophysiology I and pharmacology. Hopefully, that will be the first and only times I'm gonna take those classes. I will apply as soon as they're done, for spring

    14 credit hours?

    nguyency77 replied to ejohnson382's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I take at least 15 per semester because I have to in order to keep my scholarship. I work on the weekends as a CNA. I think you could do it, too. Psych is pretty easy, and so is biology. The...

    "the future days"

    nguyency77 replied to Creamsoda's topic in General Nursing

    I know, right? There's always the one patient with the annoying daughter-in-law or whatever who thinks it's completely okay to obnoxiously ring the visitor doorbell, waking up every confused resident...

    Becoming a CNA

    nguyency77 replied to cnamom12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know; I'd rather have my own. As much as I hate to admit it, one of the best things our new administrator has done since her reign of terror began was to buy us a new Robo-Nurse. Prior to that...

    What does it mean when the patient said "Your face are soul".

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

    Oh, yes. I once had a patient who requested to be called The Sheriff, and once he took me aside and said... "You can't charge for your services, but you can accept gratuities!" I think he had me...

    What was the hardest part for you?

    nguyency77 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dealing with my instructor. He is a very brilliant man but he really can't write books. He wrote the textbook we use for our class, and it's filled with typos. The complicated diagrams are printed...

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

    nguyency77 replied to Xavier97x2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We CNA work under the nurse's license. Anything and everything we do wrong will ultimately fall on the nurse. All of those checking-in things are for the protection of the client. In home health,...

    Still no job

    nguyency77 replied to mkearns724's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you doing online applications? I think for CNA, those are a waste of time unless you have at least some experience and references. It's so hard to get your application noticed within the hundreds...

    When I'm not working in skilled (where I get 10 patients because it's our facility's policy for quality control), I usually get about 20

    How much anatomy do CNAs need to know?

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

    It's very, very basic anatomy. There isn't much physiology involved. I was a little peeved that my CNA program never mentioned osteoporosis, because it's something I feel that's important for safe...

    CNA's not following policies and procedures

    nguyency77 replied to LoriAK's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Did you take it up with the CNAs before you reported it? As a CNA, I take the nurse's criticism very seriously. Then again, some people just don't care. Maybe you could explain to them the seriousness...

    How many schools are you applying to?

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

    After this summer term, I'm only applying to one school. I was gonna apply to the community college too, but they started adding requirements like "College Success Experience 101" and whatever. I...

    Am I being low balled?

    nguyency77 replied to afink87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Home health aides as far as I know get paid less than a CNA. $8-9 sounds like what a HHA here in NM would make. I make $13 and I've been working 6 months. My little cousin's caregivers get paid $7.50...

    What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

    nguyency77 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hated stats. It was easy for me, but really boring. A lot of people had trouble figuring out how to use the TI-83/84 and we spent pretty much half the semester waiting for people to set up their...

    What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

    nguyency77 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was surprised that Intro was harder than A&P, too! My A&P classes are hybrid. The teacher himself is really knowledgeable because he's been teaching A&P forever. His test questions are...
