    Eye drops while sitting up

    Lacking Focus&Motivation

    mindofmidwifery replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just think about what's going to help you in the future: smoking and relaxing Or studying and doing your work? You're going to put yourself in a rut if you don't get it

    My GPA is trash. What to do now?

    mindofmidwifery replied to wpm7231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What state are you in? You'll probably have to talk to an advisor because it'll probably vary. The community college I'm going to currently only counts the GPA from that school. But a couple of the...

    My GPA is trash. What to do now?

    mindofmidwifery replied to wpm7231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does the LPN program at a nearby community college require a lower GPA (2.5 maybe)? You might have to start there, get all A's then try for an RN

    mindofmidwifery replied to Miker1980's topic in General Nursing

    I love wearing my Apple Watch to work! I'm not a nurse, I'm an aide who deals with bodily fluids and metal hazards on a daily basis. I have hit my wrist against a lift multiple times and my watch has...

    CNA or RN?!?

    mindofmidwifery replied to PinkSparklez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can get your CNA in the mean time but you're still young, don't give up. A year will go by in no time and you can either feel accomplished because you can finally apply for the program or you'll...

    I'm so sorry! I misunderstood. https://allnurses.com/ohio-nursing/chamberlain-any-info-448568.html But yeah, most second degree programs require a 3.0. Calculate your current GPA and see if you are...

    mindofmidwifery replied to jgrosso's topic in Chamberlain College

    You should look into taking classes at CSCC! You can take pre requisites without, if you need any, without a high GPA. And the ADN program requires a 2.8. I believe you only need a 2.5 for the LPN...

    Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    mindofmidwifery replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Clearly getting a BP should be done before a shower if a nurse asks for it to be done. But the situation is that a patient has to go to the bathroom and the CNA chooses to take them to the bathroom...

    mindofmidwifery replied to jgrosso's topic in Chamberlain College

    Maybe I'm being harsh about it but it's just a lot easier to avoid the stress and to go to a public college like OSU, CSCC or Mount Carmel. Here are some links that I found helpful:...

    I've never gone because of the research that I did. Chamberlain is going out of business... It's a private for-profit school that isn't accredited so once it goes out of business you're screwed...

    Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    mindofmidwifery replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And I suppose it's the patient's choice to curse the CNA out and tell them that they don't care what the nurse needs, they need to go to the bathroom

    Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    mindofmidwifery replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you! And there are many times where I have forgotten to even get vitals at the request of a nurse... We have residents/patients talking in our ears, requesting countless things and really their...

    Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    mindofmidwifery replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But, as a nurse, is it hard to let an aide know that something needs to be done right away for -this reason-? Or to at least state that it is important/top priority? Because in our heads, we are doing...

    mindofmidwifery replied to mdiada's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    However, coming in at 7PM will be different. Most likely you'll also be helping evening shift get residents into bed. The toughest part is getting to know everyone and their routines. You'll do fine!...
