    How do you handle lazy lab partners?

    casi replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I normally put my foot down, and take over the division of work. When a lab partner has that lost and confused look on their face I jump in and offer help right

    Places who pay for schooling ????

    casi replied to woogie_nell's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the hospital web sites list their benefits along with open positions. Most will list tuition

    Have you ever heard of this? UGH!!!!

    casi replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the mother doesn't offer me a bite, she can do as she pleases with her placenta. On that note Google "placenta recipes", the results are slightly

    For the accepted students!

    casi replied to chiynadol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got into Century College in MN with a 3.19 GPA. There were over 500 applicants for 110 seats. There were no tests and acceptance was based on a "priority points" system that I don't know the details...

    Can they do anything to me?

    casi replied to christian51's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ChasingMyDreams, I've read many of your posts on here and you seem very unhappy with your job. Have you tried looking around for other job options? One can’t guarantee that another CNA position...

    BSN Nurse to Doctor degree~ need an advice please!

    casi replied to churro's topic in General Nursing

    Chances are it will take you much longer than the traditional medical student. The prerequisite may overlap by one or two classes, but that's about it. Core medical school requirements are normally 1...

    HELP!! I am worried about pre-employment paperwork as a CNA in training!!!

    casi replied to Kiwi333's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You'll need to report the medications as they'll probably show up on a drug test. Be honest with your employer and I would include documentation from your doctor that states you are being treated for...

    2 lab sciences in 1 semester

    casi replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took chem (which had labs that lasted 2-10hrs every week), A&P1, and a online women's global studies course all in the same semester while working 28hr/wk. I nearly went insane, but it was very...

    I do not like my CNA instructor

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

    Honestly, there really isn't much more to learn as a CNA than what is in the book. Honestly, when I took my class the book had much more information than we needed to know for the class. Being a CNA...

    I am so angry right now.....I feel like giving up.

    casi replied to Healer_at_Heart18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first thing I would do is sit down with a counsler and find out why you're not getting accepted. Do they just considered GPA or are there other contributing factors? You may have to take more...

    My options

    casi replied to julesradio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do whatever program works best for you. If there is an LPN program that offers flexible hours that’s a perfect fit for your family and life, go for it! If an RN-ANS program is a better fit do that....

    "The Jesus Factor"

    casi replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay I really cut the quote a lot, but great post Tweety. When asked about religion by patients the health care provider should make it short and sweet and use it to let the patient open up. Asking...

    moms, what shift works for you in the summer?

    casi replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know a lot of mothers who like working night shift because they can get home from work and take the kids to school, sleep, then get the kids from school, make dinner, and have family

    How Many New Cna"s Are Older?

    casi replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At 20 I was the youngest in my CNA class. Most CNAs that I've worked with have been in their 30's-mid40's, but the ages I worked with span to just about every age. Currently I even work with a CNA...

    Is this nursing home typical - first night?

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

    I'd run far, far away from there. As a CNA you CAN NOT perform all of your duties properly and safely if you are caring for that many people. If you can't take your 1/2hr unpaid break, I would demand...

    Only Full Time Available!

    casi replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That is really not that normal. A lot of places hire a bunch of part-time employees so they don't have to pay them benefits. Most full-time positions go to those who have been at the facility for...

    In search of a high paying agency for Private duty

    casi replied to za23fr's topic in General Nursing

    As a CNA in MN the only place I've seen that pays CNAs that much are pool agencies that send CNAs into facilities to work. Maybe try looking into hospital work. With night shift differential I'm...

    State Testing

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

    I took my test the week after I finished the course. It was better for me this way since the information was still in my head. A lot of people I took the CNA class with called around asking about...

    Allina nurses

    casi replied to badgernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not a nurse yet, so I don't know the prespectives of Allina from the nurses view point, only the CNAs. I've talked to a couple of CNAs who worked at United and both had both good and bad things to say...

    I'm Really Stuggling with Micro

    casi replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found the best way to study for micro tests is to continously quiz myself. Go through the end of chapter questions, write your own questions (use the instructors style), and seek out online...
