    stretched earlobe piercings as CNA?

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

    You should probably tape it. On a personal level, I don't care how people like to express themselves. However, patients might mind and as a CNA, I kind of mind. Professionalism is important, and I...

    Lazy stuck up nurses

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

    Some of the nurses I work with are actually good; I know they have lots of paperwork, meds to pass (especially on days the management refuses to give them a med tech), things to do. I work in a...

    What does seniority mean at your facility?

    nguyency77 replied to AJ_427's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The ones that kiss the administrators' butts the most are the ones with "seniority." They get the most privileges, including misuse of PRN staff like me. CNA 1: "I'm bored, can I go home?"...

    Your Work Environment

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

    I don't know; I think my workplace is much safer to work in than my clinical site. The two places were owned by the same company, so I guess that should've been a red flag for me. On the outside, my...

    second week in cna school need help

    nguyency77 replied to shyred2581's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ignore the annoying people in your class; you'll probably never see them again after you graduate... ever. You should be learning how to make a bed. o_O Isn't that what you're in school for? Haha....

    I got more questions XD

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

    I'm not sure how different the law might be in your state, but at that hospital they did a background check and drug test on me. I also had to get a TB test done (you have to get it probably once a...

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

    Ask your school counselors, they should know all about scholarships and they might even be able to help you apply for some! My university, I believe, does offer scholarships for international...

    I got more questions XD

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

    The only answer I can really answer is the hospital one. I started out when I was 16 years old as a volunteer at my hospital. I just passed out water and kept some of the elderly patients company....

    Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

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

    I think Biology is really important. It's also very easy. You can try to take the CLEP and get out of it, if you like. I took it just because I figured it might be important for microbiology, and lo...

    Do you ever feel like your not smart enough?

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

    All day, everyday. It's kind of how I'm hardwired, but it helps me through school.

    Applying to community college nursing programs...gpa?

    nguyency77 replied to BJR87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your school. I have a bunch of friends who are in nursing school at the community college right now and they told me that you get 4 points for a 3.5 GPA and above. The rest of the...

    Frustrated

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

    Aw, I'm sorry I think the best thing to realize is: Time Invested in Studying DOES NOT equal Good Grades. While it's great that you were studying a lot, I think you're not studying in the right way....

    Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    nguyency77 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hahaha, I think you need to get out more. There are plenty of stupid people in the world Anyway, on topic: It's too bad that GPA is such a huge factor at some places; the nursing class my university...

    Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    nguyency77 replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you really put in the work and know your own limits, I don't think you're stupid. As for whether dumb people can become nurses... Why yes of course. Meet some of my

    Does ANYBODY enter a traditional BSN program anymore?

    nguyency77 replied to RN In FL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing a Basic Entry BSN at the moment. From what I know, my university will accept RNs into the BSN program every semester. The requirement is that they graduate from an approved nursing program,...

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

    What are your options, in terms of scholarships or grants? I'm not from England; I'm from the U.S. In my state, the government uses the money that comes from lottery ticket sales to fund students...

    Is chemistry hard?

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

    I'm REALLY not good at math, especially things like trigonometry or calculus. But I'm somehow good at chemistry. If you can think of things in a logical way and if you are very good at listening, I...

    Has anyone taken these classes in Summer?

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

    Right now, I'm taking Microbiology and I don't find it all that hard. As long as you paid attention in Introductory Biology, I think you will be okay. :) The CNA classes tend to take a lot of time; I...

    Male going into CNA-Legal issues?

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

    I don't see why it would be pointless to be a CNA before becoming an RN. The experience will teach you not to mistreat your CNA when you actually are a nurse. I don't think it's a legal issue; in...

    The "Why don't you go to Med School" Question

    nguyency77 replied to AL1992's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I hate that question so much, hahaha. I'm an Asian female on a scholarship; I get that a lot. I simply like the nursing approach to patient care over the medical one. Like I posted somewhere last...

    Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    nguyency77 replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Um... No. As much as it bugs me to put on condom catheters for lecherous old men, as a CNA it is my responsibility to do it. There will always be things that you don't like to do in whatever field you...

    Venting/Job Market

    nguyency77 replied to Kmmo320's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Come to New Mexico-- we need LOTS of [good] nurses! In my state, the nursing economy is very stable. No matter what, there will be things that require an RN/LPN's judgment. We CNA can't do it all,...

    CNA Hours

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

    I agree. Why should there not be standards in our hours? There is no way that is safe. U.S. Government: I can't believe you people are concerned about internet piracy, when there are many more...

    Any CNA's out there who work in Peds or OB?

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

    I wish I did but in my experience pediatrics is hard to get into because everyone wants to do it. I am aware that CNA do work there, though; my little cousin had a stroke last year and ended up in...
