    jb2u replied to rmewyf2benurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Welcome to allnurses!!! You will find a lot of information and support

  2. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    jb2u replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The posts in question were edited. There is nothing wrong with saying "have at it" that is why I did not ask anyone to not say "have at it." I stated that calling WorriedStudent "condescending" or to...

  3. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    jb2u replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Once again, no negative comments towards members of allnurses. 1) WorriedStudent's post IS a valid question. 2) WorriedStudent did not say GPC students that did not make it are mediocre....

  4. Negotiating visiting hours

    jb2u replied to marie7217's topic in MICU, SICU

    Hmmmm....visiting hours are there for the benefit of the pt, not for the benefit of the pt's family or the nurse!! Saying a blanket statement like having the family there is great for the pt is a...

  5. Thank You Note to GPC's Nursing Program

    jb2u replied to stillbetteryet's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Some may take offense to this post; although, it is a valid question. I have no experience with GPC!! That being said, we must all remember that this is a message board where anyone may post, good...

    jb2u replied to Spring08's topic in Georgia Nursing

  7. Daughter wants to be a phlebotomist

    jb2u replied to FLOBRN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I can not tell you anything about Atlanta Tech, but they do offer phlebotomy tech course!! I'd say visit the campus if she's interested to really check it out. I do not live in ATL. I just did a...

  8. CNA Exam with Promissor

    jb2u replied to chesara's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I guess you could think of it like this. If you got handwashing and one measurement you would have about 2 minutes gone and 23 minutes left to do 3 more skills. That is about 8 minutes a skill. I'd...

  9. CNA Exam with Promissor

    jb2u replied to chesara's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    25 minutes is actually a lot longer than it sounds. As far as your question, "What helped you get your skills done fast without making mistakes?", I'd say being well prepared. Keep in mind that hand...

  10. Finding a CNA job that trains...

    jb2u replied to lvmama's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello and welcome to allnurses. I trained at a nursing home. They trained me for free and paid for the certification test. They would have also helped me pay for nursing school if I would work for...

  11. Need Help Deciding on CNA Training Route

    jb2u replied to Noel C.'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked in a nursing home and then went to the hospital while in nursing school. Many of my fellow nursing students were not even cna's. They just applied after their first semester of nursing school...

  12. almost a CNA and have some questions

    jb2u replied to chickapea's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Excelsior is a way to do nursing school online as oppose to going the "traditional" route. You can go to the distance learning forum here on allnurses, there are many members here doing excelsior. I...

  13. Is being a CNA better than an lpn

    jb2u replied to digestthis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hope everyone does not get "bent out of shape" over your use of the word better!!! I don't THINK you meant it how some will read it. However, in the hierarchy of nursing, it would go...CNA, then...

  14. almost a CNA and have some questions

    jb2u replied to chickapea's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Med term. would be great, but I would think that the EMT class would serve you well and teach you some med term at the same time. Plus, IF nursing school is very competetive in your area you can...

  15. failed test!

    jb2u replied to littleNC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry to hear about that. You'll get it next

  16. Help are there any online nursing schools for pre nursing students

    jb2u replied to loriwga's topic in Georgia Nursing

    As they say, "anything worth having is worth fighting for!" I believe this applies to a nursing degree as well. I do not know of any online schools where someone without a nursing degree can get a...

  17. CNA testing

    jb2u replied to MrsCD's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Based on your Long Island request, I assume that you are in NY. IF so, this is the link that you want to follow....NY Prometric CNA testing. There is a downloadable handbook with numbers and addresses...

  18. Some mean Nurses.......

    jb2u replied to Billsgirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As a man that joined this "sisterhood," I have to say that I have experienced rude/mean people in many if not all of the jobs that I have worked in my life. I am now a nurse, however, as a cna, I've...

  19. To the students

    jb2u replied to aerorunner80's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This thread is now a sticky. Please remember to be considerate to the students when posting!!! Some are just new and scared to "get involved." We were all there once. Yes, some are just lazy, but...

  23. Dirty Business

    jb2u replied to newtress's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You should never stand by and watch someone neglect or abuse a pt. You would be in the right for standing up for that resident. I know it is hard. Doing the right thing is usually the hard thing to...

  24. CNA training where?

    jb2u replied to lana3579's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
