  1. Taking anatomy and physiology during same semester?

    SeattleJess replied to MsDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll save my personal story about ignoring similar advice and get right to the point. Your instructors and science department know what they're doing when they require or recommend courses in a...

  2. I'm starting my CNA course on Thursday! (:

    SeattleJess replied to Carol Austin's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Carol, sills lab was the hardest part for me (and most of my class) in that it took lots of time but it's far from impossible. Just keep in mind why you are doing everything (disease control, safety,...

    SeattleJess replied to Carol Austin's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    SeattleJess replied to katerinsols's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Twenty-five minutes of fire drill ringing! Horrors! Did you request to retake the portion of the test during which the bells where ringing? That seems only fair. There must be some kind of appeal...

  8. Supposed Failed Background Check

    SeattleJess replied to Swim3's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would be surprised if your school doesn't find a clinical location for you! And stunned if it's an issue with the BON. Please don't worry. You know the saying: If your fears don't come true, then...

  9. Confused in Houston

    SeattleJess replied to alanyse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm not very experienced but I'll share my story. I'm changing careers, starting nursing school this fall. I took my CNA course at a college that requires it for applying to its nursing school....

  10. Supposed Failed Background Check

    SeattleJess replied to Swim3's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    First of all, you're not alone in being worried about having a record that's less than perfect. Many of us do. Whether it's a mistake of being in the wrong place at the wrong time or a legitimate...

  11. CNA second job interview help

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

    I don't know! These are good questions to ask at the close of your first interview. Questions like "What happens next?" and "What is the time frame for your decision?" It's also always good to get...

    SeattleJess replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    SeattleJess replied to ceccia's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thanks for posting this, ceccia! You wrote a blueprint for how to be happy. I don't think you're weird at all, rather on to a spiritual solution for religious problems. Everything you've said works...

  18. What to include - need advice

    SeattleJess replied to flyakite80's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    SeattleJess posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If anyone in the Seattle area would like my used "official" study manual for the TEAS V and wants to pick it up in West Seattle or arrange some other pick up method, it's yours. It has heavy pencil...

  20. Health Insurance

    SeattleJess replied to Kar10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You could say the same about many of our regressive tax laws: tax food for people who can barely afford food; maybe any sales tax (compared to an income tax) penalizes the poor on necessities they can...

  21. Health Insurance

    SeattleJess replied to Kar10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would not work as a CNA without some health insurance. CNAs can get some serious, prolonged injuries. The question's moot, though, because having health insurance is a legal requirement now, just...

  22. Job interview

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

    I think it's good to make a connection with the interviewer. Ask her what she enjoys most about her job and what she finds most challenging. What does she think is the most important ability a CNA can...

  23. please help me..im confused.

    SeattleJess replied to Lizzly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second MrChicagoRn. Khan Academy is amazing. Use the TEAS V book to get an idea of what is being tested and then use Khan Academy to fill in your gaps for the TEAS and the ACT. (One of my nursing...

  24. Your Favorite Part

    SeattleJess replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Bless you! It was a person like you who made it possible for my father to die 4o years sober, a completely different man than the one I knew as a child. It wasn't so much the sentence that she said as...
