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

    I'm not sure, but Ohio has Patient Care Techs. I think they may be the equivalent to CNA II. CNA II's can do cath care, NG tubes, sterile dressing changes, etc. I'm finishing my CNA I class in May and...

    Merrique replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in General Students

    Merrique replied to bobdil's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Merrique replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Merrique replied to WannaBeMaleRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd drop the class, as long as it won't affect your GPA. I had to do this last year for biology. I think you should brush up on your skills, then take the class next semester. Hopefully you'll get a...
