  1. Scared to be a CNA again

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

    I understand how you feel. Have you ever considered working as a home health aide. It is a one on one interaction that allows you to provide outstanding care. I know of several CNA's that work as HHA...

  2. How do you become a Moderator for this site??

    jb2u replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    You can always appeal a decision made by a mod/admin by posting in the admin feedback thread. They are very understanding and if the member is correct the decision will be reversed. Most moderation...

  3. QUESTION TO ALL- Shift diff?

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

    At my hospital in GA the CNA's get less...a lot less...than the Nurses for shift diff. Plus the Nurses, Unit clerks, and telemetry techs receive a bonus for signing up for extra shifts, but the CNA's...

  4. frustrated

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

    Hello and welcome to allnurses.com and the CNA Forum. First, yes CNA work can be grueling. Second, it is hard to compare being a CNA with being a Nurse. I believe that as long as you give your best...

  5. Scope of practise?

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

    Ms. Sara, The best thing that you can do is to "know what you are allowed to do." Read the Nurse Practice Act for your state. This will also list what the Nurse can delegate. Second, some states...

  6. be kind to your CNAs

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

    I think the thing to remember is that it is not so much Nurses not respecting CNA's as it is people not respecting people. Through my years, I've seen Nurses disrespect CNA's, Doctors disrespect...

  7. HELP! Bad day at clinicals

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

    I'd say that the experience you had IS the reason to become a Nurse. As a Nurse you can be the one to go to that patient in need, instead of being the frustrated CNA that can only call the Nurse and...

  8. What pay wage can I expect in ATL?

    jb2u replied to wisedome's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I am not a Nurse yet. So, I can't answer that question, but I do understand your concern. I believe that most people want to know "how much they will make" and "how much to expect." Life is NOT free...

  9. GA Nursing in the News

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Georgia Nursing

    From CBS 46... "The government said Friday it was fining the American Red Cross $4.2 million for violating blood-safety laws." American Red Cross Fined $4.2 Million for Blood Violations Sep 8, 2006...

  10. GA Nursing in the News

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Why can't we see more articles about "Nurse saves patient's life" or "Nurses help prevent Doctor errors"? From Fox 24 in Macon.... Nurse Charged In Mother-in-law's

  11. GA Nursing in the News

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Georgia Nursing

  12. GA Nursing in the News

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Georgia Nursing

    This Nurse was not hurt, report states. Well, maybe emotionally. Attack at MCG raises hospital safety

  13. Going to school to be an LPN but...

    jb2u replied to DelanaRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You can do it. I know many Nursing students that work as cna's because the hours are easy to work around our school schedule. Other than that, look into loans, scholarships, grants, etc. I believe...

  14. Need male nursing slogans.

    jb2u replied to Dynasty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    i have to agree with dynasty on this one. it's not the scrub top, shot, or stethoscope that makes this guy look like a "thug." so, what is it? it's not the goatee. i know plenty of male nurses that...

  15. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I understand why it is offensive to you. I am offended when people suggest that just because an area is predominately "white" means that minorities will not be welcomed. However, I also try to...

  16. Death- Do you ever get used to it?

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

    CJolin, Some people "get use to it" others do not. However, if you are having difficulties coping then I'd suggest that you speak with your supervisor or DON about your fears and possibly receiving...

  17. Sent Home Because Fellow Worker Reported That I Was Being Rough With Residents

    jb2u replied to IWANT2BEEANRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No one can really "tell you what to do," but if you are having difficulties with co-workers that can not be resolved then perhaps moving on is the best choice. Only you can decide that. As far as,...

  18. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't believe that we are arguing. She is explaining her point of view and I am showing her how someone on the "other side" feels about such things as AA. It's all about perspectives. The thing is,...

  19. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So just so I understand it right, this scholarship was open to all "races", right? Yes, I know only for certain schools, but I bet there were "white" students going to the schools that were exempt...

  20. Can anyone please help me with a dumb question?LOL

    jb2u replied to pds252's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OK, I've never heard it put as..."state tested nurses assistant", BUT a certified nurses aide/assistant IS tested by the state. The state issues the certification. In some states, you do not need to...

  21. GA Nursing in the News

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Just an update....MCG has agreed upon a contract with Medicaid. They are now calling the pt's that were cancelled to reschedule their appointments. MCG is actually the largest Medicaid providing...

  22. Can someone help me re nursing assistant?

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

    Choua, Your best bet is to do as other posters have advised you. Call local nursing homes to see if they have a cna training program. Other than that, you can look into grants. You may qualify for a...

  23. Affirmative action for male applicants?

    jb2u replied to 98.6's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to ask, what about the poor "white" kids? Were you aware that there is a greater percentage of poor "whites" in this country than poor "blacks?" Affirmative Action will only make it harder for...

  24. New CNA - any advice?

    jb2u replied to smwall3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First, you are correct. As a pre-nursing student, working as a cna is very beneficial. Second, keep in mind that on this board a lot of people come to vent. So, you will hear a lot of negative stuff....

  25. LPN to RN Programs in Georgia

    jb2u replied to ex1140's topic in Georgia Nursing

    At my school, Augusta State, we do not have a waiting list. It is competitive entry. I'm not sure if MCG or Aiken Tech. (SC) have one. I believe around here, CSRA, we have competitive entry only....
