  1. CNA requirements for different states.

    jb2u replied to FlaCNA1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Another note, if you are going straight to GA or shortly after, then you can usually apply for reciprocity at the same time that you take your state exam. You can also check on that option if you...

  2. CNA requirements for different states.

    jb2u replied to FlaCNA1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As long as you are certified by the state then you can just apply for reciprocity just as stated above. When you say "CNA" it means CERTIFIED nursing assistant. There are such things as NA's (ie:...

  3. Pinning ceremonies...

    jb2u replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Your profile states that you are a nursing student. Are you pre-nursing or just haven't learned the significance of the lamp in your program yet? I am not trying to be "smart" with you. I ask because...

  4. CNA renewal?

    jb2u replied to freetobe's topic in Georgia Nursing

    As long as your NC certification does not expire, you just have to apply for reciprocity with GA (one form to fill out). It is that simple. Good luck to

  5. Pinning ceremonies...

    jb2u replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That would be silly because it is not part of their tradition! As far as the pledge, I've taken a pledge in the U.S. Army and many other professions have pledges/oaths. Tradition is tradition. I think...

  6. Pinning ceremonies...

    jb2u replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've helped the past graduates in my program by ushering and, personally, I can't wait for the pinning ceremony. No it is not girlie, many MEN carried oil lamps in those times. Not everyman carried...

  7. Interview tips

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

    Try to come up with some general responses for these basic questions. Know what your strengths/weaknesses are prior to being asked. Have questions ready to ask them about the job. Try to find out a...

  8. drowning in fear and criticism

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

    I'd say take your instructors advice..."I have been complimented by my instructor on my care,listening,communication and intuition and caring...just not my time and my organization!" It seems you...

  9. Interview tips

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

    I've been asked "Why did you leave your last job?" "What would you say if I called you and really needed you to come in?" "What are your strengths/weaknesses?" "Tell me a little bit about yourself"...

  10. what to do?

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

    Over worked, understaffed comes with the job of CNA as well as Nursing. After all the business of health care is STILL a BUSINESS. That means many facilities are not willing to pay the cost of...

  11. New to Atlanta

    jb2u replied to dctmommy's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nursing degrees are not like other degrees because of how the program is set up. I am a full time nursing student in my final year of an ADN program. It is one year for pre-req's and two years for the...

    jb2u replied to FlaCNA1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just apply for reciprocity. Print out this form...Reciprocity and mail it to your FL registry! (NOT GA., the FL registry will mail it back to GA).... mail to: FL Dept.of Health (CNA) 4052 Bald...

  14. CNA if I don't get in to ADN program?

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

    Tiffany, CNA work can be rewarding and a benefit to your career as a Nurse. Beware of the pitfall where you start working as a CNA and then think, "there is no way I want to ever be a Nurse." This...

  15. Made a mistake last night.

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

    This is one of the problems with being short staffed....mistakes are bound to happen. This is also a problem with answering call lights from pts that are not assigned to you. Whenever I answer a call...

  16. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I understand what you were suggesting, however, I was just stating why I am against AA of any kind to benefit anybody. That being said, in your above scenario, no I don't think that it should...

    jb2u replied to heygirl's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The possibility exist that we do not have any members that have applied to Macon State, but I hope someone can answer your post. Welcome to

  18. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to say that with all of the above, I'll just have to agree to disagree. I know where your passion is coming from SMK, but I will never be ok with any program that discriminates based on...

  19. back on the horse

    jb2u replied to ladyluck1111's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd say that rather than keeping your feelings, fears, and concerns to yourself, find a good support group (family/friends). They can be invaluable to your success in nursing

  20. worry about job

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

    That is wonderful to hear

  21. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It is not about scrutiny, it's a valid point as to why "black" universities are offering "white" scholarships. I also do not believe in "black" unviversities. I believe that we can and should co-exist...

  22. Another Acceptance, I don't know what to do?

    jb2u replied to Blessone's topic in Georgia Nursing

    SOOOOOOOOO, it's been 5 months. Did you make a

  24. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    These scholarships are giving by "black" universities in order to receive government subsidies! Again there is only ONE "white" only scholarship that started out as a PROTEST to the "black" only...

  25. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    SMK, I don't think anyone should be excluded from recieving a scholarship based on their race or gender. That being said, there is only one, that's right ONE scholarship that is "white only." And,...
