    What color scrubs do you wear?

    nguyency77 replied to MJB2010's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm a CNA and at my facility, we have to wear beige scrubs with our company name monogrammed on them. I really do not understand why they make us wear such a light color that dirties so easily; as...

    Madame, your ignorance is astounding

    nguyency77 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that girl chooses another major. Funny, because last night I was about to start cleaning a patient, and this LPN walks in and goes, "Honey I'm about to change her dressing, so I'll clean her."...

    CNA Life

    nguyency77 replied to 1010MASH's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm with you there-- a new job sounds like it would be good for you. Your work sounds a lot like my clinical site. I don't know what the case is with the management of some AL and LTC

    Shadowing a nurse?

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

    I started out as a volunteer at a women's hospital, and that's what prompted me to go get my CNA certificate. At first they just had me filling water and doing paperwork, but after a while the...

    Nervous for Physical and TB Test????

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

    I'm really nearsighted and I passed my physical, otherwise. The nurse practitioner did, however, ban me from driving until I got prescription glasses. Physicals are not that

    Is it a good idea to take Micro and A&P 1 in the same qtr?

    nguyency77 replied to mc0306's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing great in both classes! But yeah, like some people have said above-- depends on how much it will impact your personal life. If you have other obligations, maybe you should think a little more...

    I am a CNA and I constantly have to deal with male genetalia. I don't like it, but I understand that it's completely from a professional standpoint. I get uncomfortable with certain patients, however....

    nguyency77 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Let it go! I'm relatively new still; I've been a CNA for about 6 months.. EDIT: Everyone makes mistakes. Don't double up on briefs; it's going to be a MESS trying to take it off, especially if they...

    Congratulations :) That's the spirit! I had SUCH a hard time getting into my CNA class at the local CC because EVERYONE in the nursing program had to take it who weren't already CNAs. Guess how many...

    nguyency77 replied to jose2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yup that's it. Gravity. Except for some weird reason, the Bethany insists that the bed be low at all times when transferring. That's why I only do some of the moves haha. Bed low = back pain when...

    multiple pre req fails. should i still apply?

    nguyency77 replied to lisab25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, unless they only counted the F's once for each class. OP: I think you should try and retake some of those classes. I don't think your nursing school will let you in the program, even if your GPA...

    Not doing so hot what should I do about my classes.

    nguyency77 replied to kaysmom2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends; my school is only concerned if the "W" is a "Withdraw/Fail." In that case, WF would affect the GPA. WF means the person had a failing grade when they dropped the class, and it is factored...

    nguyency77 replied to dhibler's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to apply to CNM, but then I got a scholarship that paid more than the Lottery, so I decided to just go for BSN right off. I completely agree; the UNM program is way more competitive than it...
