    Disadvantaged not being a CNA/PCT?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    That is not so. In the first semester of nursing school besides all the CNA stuff they teach nursing process and procedures that CNA cannot perform on the job. CNAs may have just a tiny head start...

    What do you use to take notes?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    BSN-to-MSN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    CPR actually WORKS!

    BSN-to-MSN replied to slc1984's topic in General Students

    CPR works most of the time. The class I go to every 2 years is taught at the local fire department by instructor who is an actual paramedic. He tells us different situations that he's been in and is...

    BSN-to-MSN replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

    What to do with nursing school papers?

    BSN-to-MSN replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students
