  1. CNA class dropped me - Sad :(

    rivershark2005 replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    18 hours PLUS the CNA class? Yeah, I see why they dropped you. Around here, you really have to know someone to schedule 18 hours for yourself. You have to have the Chancellor's permission to take 21,...

  2. Is it possible for a CNA to both work and go to school full time?

    rivershark2005 replied to Yort781's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not going to say it's impossible, but I'm certainly not doing it. Actually, the DON at the facility I'm working at won't let me. And I'm still doing pre-reqs. But the main reason she won't let me...

  3. Inappropriate Behavior

    rivershark2005 replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It surprises me how many of the residents in the facility I am working at say, "(my name), get over here and hug me! I haven't seen you since you were this high (hand about 4' above the ground). How's...

  4. First CNA job!

    rivershark2005 replied to redhead31293's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Personally, in every single interview I have ever had, I have asked about pay. There have been times that I have walked away from an interview knowing that I would get a call but that I would not take...

  5. First CNA job

    rivershark2005 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, today was my first day. I got my certificate two weeks ago and instantly applied at two of the nursing homes locally. I got very lucky getting this job. LOL They are not only going to work with...

  6. First CNA job

    rivershark2005 replied to rivershark2005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, I changed more than one brief, but only one dirty. Wet wasn't that big of a deal but I thought dirty would be alot worse than it was. Today was my third day and I must admit I am having fun. I...

  7. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    rivershark2005 replied to xxyyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a little late into the topic. First, OP, I'm proud of you for having the nerve to tell the teacher. So many people would have backed down and not told. When I was taking AP1, I had a girl that was...

  8. Finished NA class

    rivershark2005 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, today was my final day of clinicals in my NA class. My average was 98.8%. *shrugs* The thing that got me was my clinical grade. Today, I had all 3s (on a scale of 0-3). However, yeterday, I had...

  9. Finished NA class

    rivershark2005 replied to rivershark2005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA is just a jumping off point for me. I start classes on August 29th. I'm enrolled for my pre-reqs for my BSN. I have a year of classes before I can get into the BSN program itself. Fun fact about...

  10. Anyone On Here Just Starting Out?

    rivershark2005 replied to TheLordIsMyStrength's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been in college on and off since 2005. I am just a couple of credits away from having an AAS. I decided to make the jump to nursing. When I start school next month, I'll have 39 hours of pre-reqs...

  11. How do you afford /pay for school?

    rivershark2005 replied to GodIs082010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At 30 years old, my main concern was rent and utilities while going to school. My only professional training (until this past Monday) was as a weldor. I've been doing it on and off for 14 years. Can't...

  12. Only male in the CNA class; feeling awkward

    rivershark2005 replied to somekindofstrange's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was so worried about this very thing. I signed up for and was accepted into a CNA program at my local community college. Fortunately, there are two other guys in the class with me. Now as far as...
