1. Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

   abbypoo replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well a B is a big difference from a C. Don't retake it unless you have to in that case.

2. What classes did you take with A&P?

   abbypoo replied to kayclarke's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took it with Nutrition, Bioethics, and Introduction to Nursing. I think it would be challenging to balance it with working full time but not impossible either. Good luck.

3. Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

   abbypoo replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would retake it - a C is not going to slide imo. Take it again and study a lot more.

4. Dreading Micro!

   abbypoo replied to beautyandbrains's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am taking it at the moment and I think it is easy. To study, I outline the learning objectives and occasionally using flash cards. Lab is fun and the workload is a lot lighter than Anatomy and Physiology. You have great grades and you will be fin...

5. Any advice on what to do for day shift complainers?

   abbypoo replied to Kickflip012's topic in CNA/MA

   I think this sounds like a negative work environment. Getting residents up at 3 am is just ridiculous and cruel. You have a large load of people and it sounds like you are doing a good job and working hard. Please do not let your co-workers get to yo...

6. A&P II

   abbypoo replied to kamck15's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Anatomy and Physiology II was fun and easy for me. I think you are going to be okay, just read through your old notes for a refresher. You do not need to have everything memorized from A&P I to pass A&P II. I agree with the above poster that...

7. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

   abbypoo replied to Satori77's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am a nurse aid at a nursing home and it is pretty physically demanding. But thankfully, only a few of our residents are dead weight. You get better at it and I like that I get exercise at work. By the way, I am only like 5 foot 2 and pretty thin a...

8. I feel discouraged....

   abbypoo replied to abbypoo's topic in CNA/MA

   Thank you! Next time I need to be confident and take my own initiative when working with her. Like you said, I know what I am doing so I should act like it. I mentioned this to the coworker I work well with and she said this CNA is a good person but...

9. I feel discouraged....

   abbypoo replied to abbypoo's topic in CNA/MA

   Also, she did tell me that other people have done things to "piss her off," as she says. And she corrected them the same way she did me.

10. I feel discouraged....

    abbypoo replied to abbypoo's topic in CNA/MA

    Our dining room and living room are connected. Some of the residents in the dining room like to stay at the table after breakfast and read a book or newspaper. She says that's not okay. I thought allowing her to walk with a wheel chair was so odd to...

11. I feel discouraged....

    abbypoo replied to abbypoo's topic in CNA/MA

    Thank you. Like... She says 2 people should never be in the same resident's room at a time. But she'll do the mechanical lifts alone and that's against the rules. Or telling me that some residents should not sit at the dinning table and make them s...

12. I feel discouraged....

    abbypoo posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hi there. So I started working at an assisted living facility. I was in training for about 2 weeks and I have worked on my own for 2 days now. I am part time and work in the dementia unit. 2 CNA's work on this unit. So I felt like my first day alone...

13. Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    abbypoo replied to abbypoo's topic in General Nursing

    I skimmed through the article and thought it was interesting. Cognitively and intellectually impaired are going to be seen as offensive somewhere down the line too. Thank you!

14. Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

    abbypoo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I took Introduction to Nursing last semester at my college. My teacher was an older women who still worked as a nurse at a local hospital. She also teaches other classes at our school. During a lecture one day, she continually used the word "r...

15. I feel so stressed! Any words of support?

    abbypoo replied to abbypoo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hathermaizy, interesting reply. Thank you! I love the feeling after I study and feeling like I understand something new. But you are right - I am worried about my grade. I just feel so much pressure to do super well. I need to make thinking about my ...
