Hello, I just took the CCMC exam today for CM certification. On the website it says you'll get your preliminary result immediately, but I didn't. The notification I got was "In alignment with certification best practices, CCMC is conducting a pass...

Hi tchisholm71, I don't think so because you either have to have a 4 year degree or a license that allows independent practice. You can look at the info here: Certification & Renewal | CCMC I'm sure with all your experience you won't have any t...

Yes, thank you! Btw, no one has responded to my complaint I submitted on the website. Surprise, surprise. Thanks to most of you for your replies and good luck!

People like you are exactly why I hate posting on this site. You can answer a question without being condescending, believe it or not. Where on the website does it say that? I looked about 10 times. I do think that website is hard to find informat...

I never cared what job a man had if I was attracted to him unless it was something I was ethically against for some reason (for example, one guy I was casually dating started working for a political candidate I had a lot of problems with - that actua...

I always did. I worked 3 12s and we didn't get overtime until we were over 40 hours a week. So I did get paid for the time, but not overtime as I USUALLY didn't hit 40 hours a week... Now I'm salary so I don't get anything for working extra!

Hi Sheena, I just took the test yesterday and CCMC is only open Monday through Friday. I did send them a complaint though, but who knows when or if I'll hear anything back. I wasn't given any information on the exam when I applied to take it or ...

Hi everyone... I just started a new job about 2 months ago, a much needed change. Even though it's not a dream job by far, it is better than my last job...except it's still 3 12s a week and I'm still mostly working nights. I worked nights 6 months ...

I can't figure out how diet pop became "healthy." The hospital where I used to work had a huge menu for patients. Where I work now they have two or three entree choices a meal and some of our patients are there for two months so it's the same thing ...

Yes, I do have the right to be angry at women who think that men are better leaders than women just because they're men.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I think this is the worst disability denial I've ever heard and I've heard some doozies. Yet the frequent fliers I used to get on Med/Surg who would stop taking their meds to have a hospital vacation were on it... I've ...

Yes. I worked with someone who was the valedictorian of her class and she was not a good nurse to say the least. One of the salutatorians from my class was dumb as a brick - I can't imagine what she's like as a nurse.

It just seemed to me that the women didn't think the other women were fit to be leaders. Some of them had great ideas for fundraisers and the guy that got elected did pretty much nothing. We only had 35ish in our class so everyone knew everyone.

The male nursing students in my class were definitely given special treatment and attention while in school, but I haven't seen anything on the job, though I have no doubt it happens. It made me so mad that every class would elect a male class presi...

I think there should be healthy options, but I wouldn't support ONLY healthy foods. Sometimes I need a Pepsi or a candy bar on a bad day...patients need a treat sometimes too...especially in rehab where I work - they're working it off! Also, all so...

I knew what you meant. In fact, you got a few mean responses just for posting this, right? (So did I when I asked about leaving bedside nursing.) I've had lots of jobs and never had so many mean coworkers until I started nursing. There's some no ...

From my experience I would say yes to all of your questions - it is that bad. Of course that's not everyone's experience though. I've been a nurse for two years and have worked in two different hospitals (one for 3 years because I was an aide there...

I've decided to transfer to a new online program, but have no idea where to start. The program I was in was just not working for me for a number of reasons. What pushed me over the edge to withdraw was that they deregistered me from a class without...

I'm the same way...in my 2nd year of nursing and 2nd career nurse. I'm absolutely miserable and there's nothing I can do about it...

Thanks, I'll look into it!

It's too late I already withdrew.

#1 and 2 apply everywhere... some doctors need to realize that too...

I guess looking into it further I'm going to have to start all over again because most schools only take so many transfer credits. Great.

I've had people request another nurse because I'm "too young." Was 28 at the time...same patient accepted a 25-year-old nurse...

I am so sorry about the loss of your friend! That's unacceptable to have someone working 8 12s in a row night OR day. I don't even know what to say, that's horrible. I hope you find a job that makes you happy and safe. To add to it I found out I h...
