  1. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    Cora_Ann replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    Hospitals and having a BSN are not all that. You are still just as stressed and honestly will not make that much just coming

  2. Help getting kicked out have a 4.0

    Cora_Ann replied to CXW11's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but what does having a 4.0 have to do with it? You forgot to get a TB test and if you have ever done anything in medicine you would know that you have to have that done

  3. Dealing with quadras

    Cora_Ann replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Another helpful thing is anytime you go in there try to bring a nurse with you so they can witness what is said. I work in a similar facility and this will save you from them being able to say what...

  4. I'm a CNA, will I lose my license?

    Cora_Ann replied to Websterwiki's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You left without telling anyone!!! I'm sorry you didn't feel well, but you should have gone to the charge nurse and told them. How would you feel if someone just left and didn't say anything? If you...

  5. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am in no way saying everyone; because I have worked with some great LTC nurses. However having gone from LTC to a hospital, LTC nurses are the laziest I have ever seen. They would never make it in a...

  6. Uniforms

    Cora_Ann replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have had to wear every color of the rainbow; right now we wear hunter green except for Friday's when we can wear what we want. Nurses normally wear royal

  7. Needing some advice

    Cora_Ann posted a topic in Emergency

    I always thought I wanted to be either and ER nurse or work in the ICU. However I have been given the opportunity to get my EMT lisence and now I am wondering if I want to take the paramedic route. I...

  8. Did/do you work during LVN/RN school?

    Cora_Ann replied to Katherin7's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am very fortunate that the LTC facility I work for allows me 3 eight hour days during the week and one 12 on weekends. So I work 7-3 and then have school

  9. 40 and starting CNA course

    Cora_Ann replied to lorsul's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have done both LTC and the hospital and honestly I would recommend you try LTC first. Because if you can make it doing that you can handle anything. I really enjoyed the hospital, but it's not all...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

  11. Needing some advice

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

    Yes I know there is a big difference between a paramedic and an EMT. But you have to be an EMT before becoming a paramedic. At least where I live anyway. And I do plan on going on to

  12. Needing some advice

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

    Sorry for the lack of info! I am 27, and I live in a relatively small community. I actually went ahead and registered for my local fire houses EMT course . I will continue to work at the hospital as I...

  13. Needing some advice

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

    No I am not already in nursing school; and yes I have done ride alongs and liked it. I am trying to decide what would be the best option. And I know in the end only I can decide that lol. I would...

  15. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A lot of people where I work (which btw I still do LTC PRN) have complained about this same thing. And yeah I have worked with crap CNAs which makes it hard. I also know the stereotypes of CNAs. And...

  16. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hadn't to hear about because I am just a CNA I have no idea what nurses do, I am obviously awful because i have the audacity to say anything critical, among other comments..so how is that

  17. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Why is it when other nurses and EMTs complain about LTC it's just fine, but when CNAs who do a lot of the work complain it's not? Believe it or not I can actually see and read enough to know who is...

  18. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  19. Burnout as a CNA and the impact on nursing

    Cora_Ann replied to YKA9727's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Anyone that says just a CNA or says we don't know anything can feel free to their job without

  21. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I didn't mean it to come across as judgmental. But honestly a lot of CNAs that I work with at the hospital have had a similar experience. So have you as nurses ever wondered why we as CNAs ha e left...

  22. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is no sharing an expierence on here or having an opinion obviously because if it's a negative one it gets turned around on you. All through high school I worked in activities at a nursing home...

  23. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I still work PRN in a LTC because I love the residents and I have friends there. And it's not a typical nursing home. It's a long term ventilation unit. So everyone is total dependence and the nurses...

  24. LTC nurses...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Everyone is entitled to have different experiences and opinions. This is mine. If you love working in LTC and you take care of everyone then great. My expierence has not been that great so I got out...

    Cora_Ann replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC
