    jb2u replied to cherokeesummer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I LOVE NURSING. I work in an ICU as a new grad and the experience and support that I receive from my coworkers is amazing. I went through many jobs since I got out of the Army in '96, always looking...

  5. I'm going from Med/Surg to Nursing Home

    jb2u replied to tonypeggy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First, I am sorry to hear about your difficulties. As far as LTC being slower paced, I'd say that depends. I've never worked LTC as a nurse, but I have as a CNA, and I've heard every nurse there...

  8. For The Love Of God Help Me

    jb2u replied to Richarda8770's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, first of all, you are right. CNAs deserve more; however, in our society, we don't pay based on that scale. I worked as a cna making $6.25/hr and there were LPNs there making $9/hr. As far as...

  9. New Grad Q's

    jb2u replied to little sweets's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say wait no more than a month. I believe the sooner you test the better. If I had waited I know I would not have been studying, so I know that I would have forgotten some material. I used the...

  10. How Much Was Your First Check As A CNA?

    jb2u replied to MissMe0707's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The quick answer for your question is....that is what the market pays. It is a price point thing. What are most CNAs willing to accept vs. the perceived value of their service. I went to MA school...

  11. In Dr. office?

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

    Well, CNAs learn how to assist nurses in giving their care. MAs learn how to assist doctors in their office. Now, you can find doctors that are willing to train you to be their assistant. Some states...

  12. Critical Care test

    jb2u replied to MellowYellow's topic in MICU, SICU

    I just passed my cc test. The test was 120 questions created by the nurses that taught the cc course. You needed at least 80% to pass. I didn't find it that bad, but I am also a new grad, so most of...

  13. Attitudes of Nurse Recruiters

    jb2u replied to af_faithful's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well, I am not a recruiter; so, I can not really speak about the particulars of the job. I would have to believe they are offered some kind of incentitive for "filling" hard to fill positions. I do...

  16. Describe Your State Test Experience

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

    Never, Never, Never leave the bed up unless you are within arms reach of the bed and facing the bed. If you go to the bathroom, that is long enough for a confused pt to "jump the side rails" and...

  18. Attitudes of Nurse Recruiters

    jb2u replied to af_faithful's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I've only had good experiences with recruiters. However, keep in mind that they are recruiters and KNOW which departments really need nurses. And so, may push a new grad towards that area. If you want...

  23. CNA as a career?

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

    This site was created by a nurse for nurses. All the tabs are nursing related, and so, there is not really a tab to place the CNA forum under (ie: general nursing, specialty, or local). Also, there...
