    A Question...

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

    I think you're right. Even if it's only for your shift that someone's happier than they were previously, I call it a job well done. I don't dislike changing people, feeding them, talking to them, etc....

    What do you think is better?

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

    I would say do the community college. Private programs tend to be absurdly expensive. Plus, your employer won't care where you went to school.

    CNA Training at a Long-Term Care Facility?

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

    My supervisor actually told me she was skeptical about hiring me, since I was trained when I was a volunteer and then later through a CNA program. She said prefers hiring CNA that were nursing home...

    Inappropriate Behavior

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

    Some of my residents like to give me kisses and hugs. I really don't mind, and I think that all people need a little love. Sometimes just holding a person's hand can really make their day. I don't...

    Flying juices

    nguyency77 replied to mpink74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always work weekend evening shifts (2pm-10pm) and the housekeeping department is never there. So we CNA take out the trash, and you would never believe the things I find in the

    Do I have any chances of getting into a nursing school?

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

    Best of luck! I know Cali schools are harder to get into but judging by your screen name, I bet you can do it. -fellow

    How far away would you move for free nursing education?

    nguyency77 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call them and ask! You have a right to know what you're getting

    Should I become a nurse for the money??

    nguyency77 replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated high school last May, and I hated science almost all the way through. I went to a college prep school with people who were able to get an A in multi-variable calculus and linear...

    Flying juices

    nguyency77 replied to mpink74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, it's happened to me. I honestly think that nurse is squeamish, but you may be right that she just didn't want to clean it. Once, I was in a room with a patient who started vomiting his dinner...

    *Microbiology Spring 2012*

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

    I think it would depend on how short the summer term is. If A&P is a tough subject, I would rather spread it out over a full term instead of cramming it into the summer. My school's summer term is...

    rejected by my University's Nursing school after I finish all my prerequisite?

    nguyency77 replied to gracejeong123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea about acceptance rates. You could ask a counselor at your school or different schools. At my school (UNM), my couselor said about 200 people apply every semester for 48 slots. ...96...

    A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

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

    @kmlnielsen: Yes, my teacher does that, too. For example, he will mention the syndesmoses of the tibia and fibula a dozen times, reiterating that it will indeed be on the test... And yet, no test...

    rejected by my University's Nursing school after I finish all my prerequisite?

    nguyency77 replied to gracejeong123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could try again, or send your transcript to a local community college and try there. If you get into that school, you can probably do an RN to BSN option. My mom's friend got rejected from one of...

    transcript question

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

    Check with your school and see what they say. My school will look at every single class I ever took at every college I ever attended to calculate cumulative GPA. :) Good

    Failing! & want to be a Nurse :(

    nguyency77 replied to Aleida92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe it's not the speech class that is giving you problems. You may benefit from taking an intro/remedial English course or two. I agree with the above posters; I would try and take fewer classes....

    Employee Observations and HIPAA

    nguyency77 replied to wildlaurelrn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Totally not appropriate. I love how they're there to observe whether you guys are providing "customer service." What is this,

    Should I become a nurse for the money??

    nguyency77 replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I admire your passion, but for the well-being of the lives that will be put in your hands... Please don't become a nurse just for the money. Have you considered occupational

    If I can do it, you can too (Single mom, worked 48 hrs a week)

    nguyency77 replied to WorkofHeart8's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! :) I think I was just at a point where I was sick to death of pre-req classes and just hoping it will all be over soon. I thought about going for my LPN, but the community college in...

    Are they oversharing or am I a prude?

    nguyency77 replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    That is so strange. I will never understand why some people like to talk about periods, BM, or their sex lives to complete strangers/acquaintances. I'm a CNA and my coworkers and I always talk about...

    How do you deal with explosive customers?

    nguyency77 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They are not customers. They are either patients or families of patients. I have never had a patient complain about me personally, but it's usually about what kind of 'cesspool' we run and what a...

    How far away would you move for free nursing education?

    nguyency77 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I get into nursing school here at UNM, I will pay close to nothing for my BSN. I have religiously saved each and every one of my scholarship refund checks. :) EDIT: On topic, I would do it if it's...

    Would love some advice.....

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

    Are there any ADN to BSN programs where you live? If so, a possible route would be to do RN to BSN. Maybe a future employer would be interested in paying for continuing education? My aunt did this...

    Rejected. Now what?

    nguyency77 replied to MK84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Community college. Haha, sorry about that. My university doesn't require the anatomy labs, which is

    CNA help!

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

    You can work as a CNA part-time. I work only a day a week because I'm a college student. Not all nursing homes are bad. I work in SNF/LTC/Rehab but it's not so bad. My coworkers aren't the types that...

    CNA'S, do you use algebra?

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

    I don't use algebra at all. If you decide to become a nurse, you will. As a CNA, all I do in terms of math is I&O and that's only sometimes, since my facility does not require it unless it's...
