  1. Maybe I'm not meant to be a nurse :(

    emily12345 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've always wanted to be a nurse. I do not have a back up plan if this doesn't work out. I've never been a straight A student. I'm a bad test taker. I learn better hands on. I work as a CNA,...

  2. Bad idea to quit?

    emily12345 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I go to school 5 days a week taking a&p 2, micro, and dance appreciation. The dance class is very easy for me so I don't really consider it as a class. I work 3 jobs all part time. I teach dance,...

  3. Bad idea to quit?

    emily12345 replied to emily12345's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I looked into dance but it doesn't interest me like nursing does. I've met the admission counselers at the nursing schools I'm interested in. They don't do a point system. They look at your gpa and...

  4. Bad idea to quit?

    emily12345 replied to emily12345's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The only reason I don't want to drop the dance class is because that's an easy A for me and it'll boost my gpa. I teach dance Saturday mornings for two hours. Every time I speak with a counselor at my...

    emily12345 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  6. Is this a bad idea???

    emily12345 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been working as a cna for roughly 5 months. Do I love it? No but that doesn't mean I don't want to become a nurse. I have patients and nurses telling me that I'm the best aide they've ever worked...

  8. So disappointed in myself

    emily12345 replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you! It's much appreciated. I just found out I received a B for a&p 1 which I'm very happy about. I do not start spring semester until January 22nd where I will be taking micro and a&p...

  9. CNA without experience

    emily12345 replied to lferber's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    emily12345 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. Is it wrong to bring a patient coffee?

    emily12345 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a cna at a nursing home. I got very attached to one resident (I know that's bad). I do not perform care on him. I only talk to him after my shift is done. We started talking about coffee and he...

  12. Is this wrong???

    emily12345 replied to emily12345's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  13. where in NJ did you go for training

    emily12345 replied to miao.li.019's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're taught how to handle combative residents. I didn't come in contact with any combative residents during that one day. The other cna's know you're a student so if someone is combative they should...

  16. Male CNA student

    emily12345 replied to jfrink23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sure patients would flirt with you. I've had make patients flirt with me but nothing that crossed the line. Where I did my clinicals there was one male cna and everyone loved him. He told me that...

    emily12345 replied to JessyPaige_93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    emily12345 replied to sno87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    emily12345 replied to emily12345's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
