  2. If you are a male can you ask to only work for male patients?

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

    I know an LPN who works at a "Catholic" hospital and policy states that only women can deliver personal cares to women and vice versa for men. There may be places like that around for you, but I doubt...

  3. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

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

    I think labor&delivery, but I'm open to anything. :) I might advance into nurse-midwife or NP specializing in women's health. But we'll

  4. Not a people person... (Yikes!)

    Tinkk replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I don't necessarily think it's a requirement...I know a few people who were pretty shy when they went into nursing but they gained "people" skills and love being a nurse now. I'm not speaking for...

  5. Should I take chemistry and general psych?

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

    Tinkk posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey guys, The nursing program at my local CC doesn't require chemistry as a pre-req, but I'm wondering if maybe I should take it anyway. Would it make some concepts in nursing school easier to...

    I'm planning to take an ADN-BSN bridge program when I get my RN...I thought all that was needed to get into a bridge program to BSN was an RN license? And also at my school, for psychology, general...

  8. how long, and how can I become a cna.

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

    Community colleges usually offer classes, so does the American Red Cross, but some LTC facilities have courses you can take as well. I've heard some nursing homes/assisted livings have hired people...

  9. Are these too many pre-reqs to take for nursing?

    Tinkk posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi guys, so I'm looking at a few nursing schools in my area, and am taking all their pre-reqs...but when I add up all of the pre-reqs I'll be taking, it seems like too much and that I will be taking...

  10. Are these too many pre-reqs to take for nursing?

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

    Thanks guys for the help. My only problem is that I want to have "backup" plan in case I don't get into the university. If I don't get into the state university, I want to try my community college...

  11. Nurse jobs that allow modifications?

    Tinkk replied to hayleyyelyah's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on where you work. I work in a nursing home, and I see quite a few nursing assistants with visible tattoos (not sure about the piercings - ears aren't an issue and I wouldn't think...

    Tinkk replied to aaw26's topic in General Nursing

    I personally have not been through any of their nursing programs (I have attended one of their nursing sessions). They make it sound the best school in the world, but I have heard a lot of bad things...

  14. Is this too much money to pay for pre-reqs?

    Tinkk posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi guys, so I've been looking into taking my nursing pre-reqs at my local community college, and there is a program they offer called "health sciences broad field". It covers a wide array of classes...

  15. Is this too much money to pay for pre-reqs?

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

    The problem is, I don't know my program of choice yet. I was thinking the local university because it was close to me. And if I didn't get into that, I would try for my local CC or another

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

    Thanks for your input! Do you have any advice paying that all

  17. Mandated colors

    Tinkk replied to KRSLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I work at an LTC facility that is pretty lenient when it comes to scrubs. We can wear prints or any color we want. There are some staff though that don't wear scrub bottoms and opt for yoga pants or...

  20. Can an RN administer general anesthesia?

    Tinkk posted a topic in General Nursing

    When I had my wisdom teeth removed at an oral surgeon's office a few years ago, I was given general anesthesia by a regular RN. This RN was not a licensed advanced practice nurse and was VERY young...

  22. Can an RN administer general anesthesia?

    Tinkk replied to Tinkk's topic in General Nursing

    It was definitely general anesthesia - they completely knocked me out. I was personally told by all the docs and nurses that they were giving me both local and general anesthetics. Also had nitrous...

  23. CNA or Medical Assistant

    Tinkk replied to FutureNurse12345's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you want your RN, get your CNA. It's only a month long (typically) and will be more helpful as experience goes than medical

  24. CNA/OB Tech

    Tinkk replied to ti66's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I live by a hospital that hires patient care assistants (esentially CNAs) in various units including OB. It's not considered a "tech" job
