  1. What to expect with CNA training?

    kenya1005 replied to Philly17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You may be able to wear tennis shoes. I would call and clarify. I was allowed to, but they had to be leather... not the kind with mesh material. Trust me, you want leather anyway. When you have a...

  4. Fired for posting on face book

    kenya1005 replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sounds about right. You can't even post positive comments about my employer on FB and they don't even like you posting where you work, although they allow it. That was silly for her to say anyway.......

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

    kenya1005 replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always thought I wanted to do pediatric oncology until I had kids. I don't think I could handle that now, but I've never worked with children as patients, so who knows. I work on a Progressive Care...

  6. which healthcare position course would be best first to take? MA or CNA

    kenya1005 replied to lulure79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  7. The Joys of CNA Work

    kenya1005 replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I say the phrase "you have to laugh to keep from crying" on a weekly basis lol. One day we turned a very large lady (one of those who could easily turn on her own but refused" and she let out the...

  8. Firing employees who refuses to come into work.

    kenya1005 replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  9. If you are a CNA and work the night shift, is it possible to have tons of free time

    kenya1005 replied to hhealthai's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I used to work as a home health aid. I worked with a client who was developmentally disabled, but he was still pretty with it. At night, it was easy... he would usually play video games until right...

    kenya1005 replied to Tahiti's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in Progressive Care/Tele. On night shift, it's 10 patients per tech on a good night. Sometimes if someone calls in, or if census is high and they float one of us, we go to 20 to 1. On day...

  12. Having trouble with microscope

    kenya1005 replied to kenya1005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It went so much better on Monday. I think my problem was getting the slide in the right position to begin with. It seems like the slide is up further than it should be whenever I get it right. So, now...

    kenya1005 replied to kenya1005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you everyone. Pmabraham, thanks for the tip of focusing on the tip of the slide first. That's a great idea! I have class tonight and I'm anxious to try that. I think my problem may be moving too...

  14. CNA Position Hospital Interview

    kenya1005 replied to Dani2389's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got a job in a hospital without experience. A lot of new grads have trouble finding work right away, so they may not even think anything of it. If they ask why you haven't worked, I would just say...

  15. How many classes are you taking this Spring?

    kenya1005 replied to FutureLVN2019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Anatomy and Physiology Online

    kenya1005 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in anatomy right now (I have to take anatomy and then physiology, not the combo) and I absolutely could not imagine trying to do this from home. Maybe the lecture part, and then the lab in person....

    kenya1005 replied to kenya1005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    kenya1005 replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm doing it. I work 24 hours per week--12 hour shifts Saturday and Sunday. I hate not having my weekends, but it makes it to where I can sign up for any classes during the week and have study time. I...

  20. AHA BLS or RC CPR?

    kenya1005 replied to Gaby_rmz77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My hospital only accepts AHA, plus it's a 2-year certification. I *think* Red Cross is only one year, but I could be

    kenya1005 replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same here. I'm taking gen eds at a community college, and there are a LOT of BSN programs near here, so I think that helps. My anatomy teacher went around the room asking everyone's major and plan and...
