  1. Becoming a CNA

    Brannray replied to cnamom12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA courses aren't very difficult. I have only 1 clincial day left before I complete them, so I can say it has actually been nice. The nurses there aren't the best, and don't really help at all, but...

  2. Chasing after alarms. What do you do?

    Brannray replied to vc01ca's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm so sorry that it's like that for you! I agree that it's illegal, and terribly unsafe for you and the residents!!! I hope that they somehow are found out that this is happening and things change!...

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

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

    We did do our skills on the dummys in the classroom and did vitals on each other, so we did know how to do everything. That could be the reason we are just sent on our own to take care of the...

  4. New CNA Hospice experiences

    Brannray replied to hekat927's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you so much for this! I was basically offered a job with hospice recently *they told me all I needed to do was fill out an app when I came in* even though I am just in my clinicals for my CNA,...

  5. Do you "friend" your pts on Facebook???

    Brannray replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in Private Duty

    Oh, also, great idea for blocking them so they can't find you!!! I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference!

  6. Do you "friend" your pts on Facebook???

    Brannray replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in Private Duty

    I couldn't agree more!!! I def wouldn't do it! The second paragraph is the best answer, because it's sooo

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

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

    Oh wow! I would hate to be accused of something like that!!! I'm glad it all turned out to be a big

  8. Advice for student wanting to work in NICU

    Brannray posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm working toward becoming an RN, will have my CNA in less than a month now, and my goal is to work in a NICU because my daughter was a preemie *33 week, she was only 3lbs* and the nurses helped us...

  9. Advice for student wanting to work in NICU

    Brannray replied to Brannray's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you so much for your response! I am actually in my clinicals for my CNA class at the moment, so I'm getting experience, but it's at a nursing home. No babies there lol. I'll be sure to request...

  10. Love the residents - HATE the coworkers!!

    Brannray replied to krissy.tan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's the same at the place I'm doing my clinicals at. There are a few that are really nice there, but mostly they act as if we are just a bother... When we ask for help on something, they will just be...

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

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

    We weren't allowed to use the lift or anything, but we did stand them up and transfer them to the showers to do the full body baths and such. We also stood them up to take them to the bathroom. Our...

  12. Pregnancy and dismissal from nursing school

    Brannray replied to Bronxtale's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Your babies health as well as you're own is the most important thing! I am surprised that they have allowed you to miss 8 clinical days! If you miss one day where I go to school!! There was one girl...

  13. can you apply for a job immediately after passing nclex

    Brannray replied to hansef's topic in Nurse Registration

    Congrats on passing!!! I'm not absolutely positive, I'm still a student myself, but I'm pretty sure that you can go ahead and start applying. Let them know that you have already passed and that your...

  14. Been a great year for me!

    Brannray replied to bigboi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's awesome! I'm so happy for you! I still have 2 classes before I can apply, and now have to wait a year. Luckily I'll have my CNA's after this semester so I can get some experience until I'm able...

  15. Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

    Brannray replied to lyndseyx3x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, you're right things are much more expensive in New Jersey than they are here in Kentucky. My best friends lives up there and the only thing that's more expensive here is gas prices! Lol......

  16. Suggestions on an easier humanities class?

    Brannray replied to Patience72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard that Music Appreciation is one of the easiest classes you can take! So, I highly recommend that one! I had a few under my belt so they just picked on for me. LOL! Hopefully you'll get one...

  17. Biology 100 2012

    Brannray replied to Nursing0929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have had an A&P class before, but it wasn't "the right one" so I am going to be taking "the right one" next semester lol. So, hopefully I can survive it again! haha! When is everyone starting...

  18. Anyone else the QUIET nurse?

    Brannray replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have also always been very shy and quiet around people I don't know, but once I get comfortable around someone I do get more outgoing and talkative. I don't think it makes you a "worse" nurse. It...

  19. Silly random nursing thoughts, one sentence, NO JUDGMENTAL FOLKS ALLOWED

    Brannray replied to wooh's topic in Nursing Humor

    The label has to be there for a reason, which scares me...

  20. Nurse with Multiple Sclerosis hard to find a job

    Brannray replied to msgirl68's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I hate that you were diagnosed and ended up terminated from your job. I, too, have MS and was diagnosed right before or right after my 18th birthday *It was the week before or week after* So, that was...

  21. Another one for my journal

    Brannray replied to EmergencyNrse's topic in Emergency

    LOL!!! This is too funny! I do wonder why no one ever informed her of her MI

  22. Am I being low balled?

    Brannray replied to afink87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I really can't say from personal experience of salaries here in Kentucky, because I'm still in school, but where it's not specifically for a CNA, they probably won't want to pay as much as they would...
