    Tinkk replied to Tinkk's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  2. Study guides and exam scores for teas?

    Tinkk posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hey guys! I'm going to be taking the teas exam sometime this fall and my advisor suggested I study all summer long for it. There are so many study guides out there and I'm not sure which one I should...

  3. does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    Tinkk replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    Thought I'd put my two cents in. I am not a nurse as of yet, but I have worked as a CNA in an LTC facility like you. I agree, most people dislike working in LTC (at least at my facility) and it really...

    Tinkk replied to ctaylar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how you feel. This is my first year of pre-requisites, and my long term goal is for BSN. I'm taking pre-reqs for the LPN and while I'm almost done with them (taking summer classes to keep...

  5. I hate being a CNA

    Tinkk replied to *K($$'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can relate. I have worked in an LTC facility for a year now (I just put in my notice of resignation though). It was good experience, and I don't mind the CNA work itself, but I work in a rural...

  6. Tips For a New CNA?

    Tinkk replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's all part of a routine. You will have plenty of orientation and training to get the hang of things. Many nursing homes have "wings" that you are assigned. It is your job to take care of these...

  7. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    Tinkk replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I remember wearing just a t-shirt, yoga capris, and a pair of flats. The flats were easy to take on and off in case one of the skills required it (i.e footcare). I don't think it matters what you...

  8. What kind of RN do you want to be?

    Tinkk replied to guest798886's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. 2015 Nursing School Applicants (all)

    Tinkk replied to krrbrr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tinkk replied to iknoweverything's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    Tinkk replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I am working as a CNA at a nursing home while I complete my pre-reqs for nursing school. I think the experience has made me more acquainted and familiar as to how a medical facility works. You also...

  15. Becoming a CNA before starting school.

    Tinkk replied to bear94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I became a CNA about two months ago and have been working as once since then. I work in a pretty large LTC facility and management is absolutely awful. I don't HATE my job, but I think I'd like it a...

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

    There's not really a particular skill I'm having problems with, it's just some little thing I happen to forget. When I get super anxious like I'm getting for this test my mind goes blank and I can't...
