  1. Eating right during 12hr shift

    Jeniele replied to wingding's topic in Health, Stress Management

  2. Processing times for CNA certification?

    Jeniele posted a topic in Washington Nursing

  4. How many people took a Cna class at a for profit school?

    Jeniele replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mine was like this as well. We had to sit through a 4 hour information session to apply while they told us how hard and gross the job would be and then fill out a very detailed application and...

  5. How many people took a Cna class at a for profit school?

    Jeniele replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did my CNA at a for-profit school. It was cheaper and had many more time options than the colleges. Mine also offered an online program which I took advantage of. All the classroom portion was...

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

  8. Working full time and homeschooling?

    Jeniele posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone working three 12s and homeschooling? I've been homeschooling my three kiddos (13, 10, & 7) for 6 years now so we've gotten that part mostly hammered out though we have our days. Right now...

  10. Processing times for CNA certification?

    Jeniele replied to Jeniele's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I feel like I did pretty well with one of my two interviews last Friday, now keeping fingers crossed for the phone call with that job offer!

  12. Anatomy

    Jeniele replied to Amber27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I'm slightly confused, were you taking an accelerated summer class, taking something else with it, or not that I've even seen this in my region, but having two classes anatomy as one and...

  13. DumbToileting Question

    Jeniele replied to tjb4088's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If they can, have them stand and hold on to the grab bar facing away from you. From there you can clean and dispose of the TP into the toilet. I liked keeping peri-wash on the back of the toilet (if...

    Jeniele replied to LittleMamaRomeoRN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Jeniele replied to SNB1014's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've heard that they can help a lot with leg fatigue and I've looked at the compression socks in scrub catalogs. Is there ever a time when they're

  17. Ap is kicking my ***

    Jeniele replied to TKeith8109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished A&P1 and waiting on my final grade, but I'm pretty sure I got an A. My advice is to take your book everywhere with you, waiting 5 min at the pharmacy? Crack open the book. As...

  18. Will I pass CNA if I miss 1 day?

    Jeniele replied to brookedavis20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would read your school's policies. In mine, they allow make-up time but only as available. In short, the BON requires all hours complete so if you don't make up the time somehow, then you will not...

    Jeniele replied to Jj1223's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Jeniele replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

  21. Anatomy and Physiology

    Jeniele replied to claritasd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh! Lauraline, I am so sorry that was your experience. Sounds like your department and instructors did a poor job of ensuring that respect was maintained. During my undergrad I had an A&P class...

    Jeniele replied to sumtopaz's topic in LPN to RN

    At an orientation I recently went to it was explained that they need this info because you can be exposed to a lot of things in clinical that you wouldn't want to be exposed to while pregnant and your...

  23. Can Anyone Help Me?

    Jeniele replied to jennaroo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I knew a family years ago that made a policy that they wouldn't take their infant out in public until it was 6 months old for fear of infection (colds, etc.) and sterilized (literally) everything she...
