  1. State test

    Jaynie_Marie replied to kayteachan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The instructor for my CNA course recommended that we wear scrubs for the state exam, but when I actually went to take the exam I was the only one in scrubs - everyone else was in street

  2. Unbinding books?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to Jaynie_Marie's topic in General Students

    This is a great idea!! I think I'm going to do this with the smaller clinical book that I have. (That is, as long as I find a place that will put on the spiral binding...Office Max has told me that...

  3. Unbinding books?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to Jaynie_Marie's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for your responses! :-) I have really appreciated hearing everyone's opinion and experience on this. I've decided that I'll wait until after the first few weeks of class to see if I...

  4. Backpack, watch for nursing program?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to mangosoccer11's topic in General Students

    I don't really like rolling backpacks, and being in northern Wisconsin I would only be able to use for a short time anyway before the snow amd ice would make it very impractical (at least to my way of...

  5. Is it possible to create a 12-hour work shift for CNA?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to RNforlifetime's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My facility only does 8 hour shifts, but my Grandmother is at another facility in a different town which does twelve hour shifts for nocs (6p-6a) and 8 hour shifts for days and pms (6a-2p &...

  6. 20 Patients for 1 CNA??

    Jaynie_Marie replied to Mell101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What kind of facility and unit are you on? Also what shift? Knowing these facts will help you to receive the information/comparisons you are asking for. I work LTC, and on the 11-7 shift at my...

  8. How long does it take to answer a call light?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to rosey200735's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My facility also wants call lights answered within five minutes - but thats for both room lights and bathroom lights. The nurses carry pagers that go off after a light has been on for five minutes,...

  10. Feeding tube/position

    Jaynie_Marie replied to LightX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We do a 30 degree angle, as well...but you still need to reposition at least every two hours - maybe more often because of the breakdown (when we have residents with skin issues or who are high risk...

  11. Nervous/Anxious about starting Nursing Program!

    Jaynie_Marie replied to nursingstudentjess's topic in General Students

    I start my ADN program on August 19th and am starting to get pretty anxious, as well! I have most of my books ordered - thank the Lord for amazon and half.com, as I spent $230 on books that would have...

  12. College OR WIDE RULED PAPER?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I prefer college ruled because its what my Mom always bought me in high school (so its what I'm used to) - but otherwise I agree 100% with what you said. Office supplies are something that needs to...

  13. ADN BSN

    Jaynie_Marie replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing my ADN first and then will bridge to BSN...the reasons for this are mainly financial: I cannot afford to go straight for a BSN. Also, in my area there is basically no difference in pay...

  14. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Want: OB, peds, psych, oncology, ICU Don't want: LTC (although I enjoy working LTC as a CNA, it's just not what I'm looking for as a career). Honestly, though...I'm pretty much going to take what I...

  15. T minus 39 days til nursing school starts!!!!

    Jaynie_Marie replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

  16. Nursing School

    Jaynie_Marie replied to acurtis4170's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in somewhat of the same situation as you - I currently work (only 32 hours a week, though, not 43) and need to continue to work through nursing school. For most of my prereqs I was working 40 plus...

    Jaynie_Marie replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work 11-7 at a LTC, and there are five CNAs for approx 87 residents (thats when we are fully staffed, sometimes there are only four of us, though we try not to go any fewer). I worked 7-3 for a...

  18. Lab coats

    Jaynie_Marie replied to rse3's topic in General Students

    We need to have one (there is a choice between two styles that the bookstore offers), but I'm not sure yet when we will need to wear them....guess I'm going to find out when classes start next

  19. Opinion on your uniforms?

    Jaynie_Marie replied to green34's topic in General Students

    We have ceil blue uniforms that we need to wear for clinicals and skills check offs, we can wear what ever we want at other times. The top is a unisex...so it will probably hang weird on most of us,...
