  2. Change title of "Nurse"?

    jb2u replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't think Roy is so much speaking about trailblazing as far as being accepted by the female nurses. It is more about trailblazing in the sense that the public still doesn't understand the concept...

  3. CNA Classes

    jb2u replied to kym99999's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In GA, I know that you do not have to take the cna test. You just work as a patient care assistant/student nurse. I am certified in GA and SC, but several of my classmates work as pca/sn's and never...

    jb2u replied to ebrown343's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am not a SAHM, seeing how I am a man and all, but when my son was a baby. I worked an overnight shift as a diesel mechanic and then came home and my wife would go to work during the day. The only...

  5. How to they do it?

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

    South-West, Yes, CNA work is demanding, thus the high turnover rate. Just do your best and go home knowing that you gave your patients 100% of what you could. As far as "eye-balling," yes, it is...

  6. Looking for CNA courses in the Boston area. Please help.

    jb2u replied to wackyj2000's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wackyj, If you are already in Nursing school, as oppose to being a pre-nursing student. Then you MAY be able to work as a cna after your first semester. This would save you both time and money....

  8. Prospective CNA

    jb2u replied to ebrown343's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just wanted to clarify my viewpoint. I think that one can be a GREAT Nurse and never have been a CNA; however, I think that because, as a Nurse, one will be delegating to the CNA's, it will benefit...

  9. Prospective CNA

    jb2u replied to ebrown343's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A pca and a cna are the same. I am certified as a nursing assistant, but I work as a patient care assistant/student nurse. When I worked in LTC, they called us cna's. One facility around here calls...

  10. The Today Show

    jb2u replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital does this, but some "clever" nurses/pca's put other cards on the same tag holder and then flip them over so that pt's can not see their id's. I changed the holder that came with my name...

  11. Change title of "Nurse"?

    jb2u replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    My belief is that the students will see... "health facilitator" and still say "oh, you mean a nursing club, NO thanks!" Some would probably be interested and then go home and tell mom and dad, "I want...

  12. Change title of "Nurse"?

    jb2u replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    My belief is...the reason that the males at this school were not interested in the nursing club is because they do not KNOW what it means to BE a Nurse. They still think it is about being a...

  13. "Honey"

    jb2u replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    When I went through my CNA training, we were told to NEVER call pt's by "honey, sweetie, etc." In Nursing school, we are told to NEVER call pt's by "honey, sweetie, etc." I always address my pt's by...

  16. The Today Show

    jb2u replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked as a CNA in a nursing home I had to wear all white and the residents did not like it. They thought that it looked too "institutional" and I agree. As far as the stains, Yes, they come...

  17. Change title of "Nurse"?

    jb2u replied to AKell388's topic in Men in Nursing

    The nursing shortage has more to do with there not being enough Professors to teach than it does available applicants. In my program, people with 3.5 GPAs are being turned away...300 applicants for 38...

  19. The Today Show

    jb2u replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    jb2u replied to wisedome's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You are correct. I was talking about ADN/BSN ($18-20) and LPNs that I've talked to said $9-12/hr. I would not work as an LPN for that much myself, but everyone is
