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

    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
  3. I would retake it - a C is not going to slide imo. Take it again and study a lot
  4. Dreading Micro!

    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...

  6. A&P II

    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...
  7. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

    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...
  8. I feel discouraged....

    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...
  9. 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...
  10. I feel discouraged....

    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
  11. I feel discouraged....

    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...
  12. I feel discouraged....

    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...
  13. 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...
  14. Opinion on using the word "retarded"?

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

    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...
  16. Hello! I know this is annoying and if you do not want to hear someone complain about their problems, then do not read this post. But I just had the worst week ever and I need to vent to some people...

    I got a 49 out of 50 on my Nutrition test. Tomorrow I find out what I got on my A&P exam. Thank you, yourPhutureNurse_! Glad to know that I am not the only stressed out student in the
  18. I feel so stressed! Any words of support?

    Thank you to all that have replied! I have seen a tutoring group but the teenage boy who runs it likes to talk to his girlfriend and do his own homework most of the time. Maybe I should get a...
  19. I feel so stressed! Any words of support?

    Oh. And on my Bioethics paper I submitted it online, I noticed that I accidentally defined a term wrong. Our teacher is super tough on our grades in that class. I just got my B up to an A in that...
  20. New CNA

    Being a certified nursing assistant is a hard job but I do believe that the pay is fair, at least from the perspective that there are so many options to move up in the position. Be a certified nursing...
  21. I could not even sleep last night because I was so scared for my certified nursing assistant practical and computer test. But it was easy and I passed all of my assigned skills correctly and got the...
  22. I am about to complete my nursing assistant program and I am so scared for the skill test that you do in person. For people who have passed it, do you have any tips? I would greatly appreciate any...

  24. Nursing was not my first choice when I entered college last year. It was psychology. I found out that a degree in psychology will not get someone a good job unless they get their masters. Not a good...
  25. What is chemistry for nursing like?

    This is an in-depth answer - thank you! :) I am not too worried about the math aspects of the class because I actually somewhat enjoy algebra and that sort of thing. Sounds like this was a good pick...
