  1. Mt. Lebanon vs. Scranton

    jb2u posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hello all. I was wondering if anyone, from a nursing perspective, can tell me about these areas of PA? And, if you are familiar with both areas, can you tell me which one you like better and why? I'd...

    jb2u replied to jb2u's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

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

  7. Why would a nurse reccomend NOT becoming CNA?

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

    I can't answer for that person, but, if I had to guess,....I'd say she probably doesn't like doing the adl's(activities of daily living). Or, cna work is just tough. Maybe she just didn't think you...

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

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

    I ALWAYS leave stress at work. When my shift is over, it is OVER. To bring it home would only ruin the rest of my night!!! If you simply can not just leave it behind, I'd suggest a hobby, or better...

  12. Will she get hire even though it will be a week before she takes her state test(CNA)?

    jb2u replied to nursing student 08's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    jb2u replied to LPN2RN2B's topic in Georgia Nursing
