  3. Totally screwed up in my clinical

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

    I'm surprised that you didn't have to have a CNA with you. When I did my clinicals we were allowed to do very few things by ourselves with the residents (mostly just taking vitals or pushing someone...

  8. Embarrassing? (Ladies opinion)

    Jaynie_Marie replied to msnursecp's topic in General Students

    I used to have to wear kahki colored pants at a previous job so I understand the need for a protection that won't leak! What I found works the best for me is a menstrual cup (diva/moon...

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

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

  20. Is it normal for them to just let us take care of the pt's on our own??

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