  3. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    I just got an email for a job interview on Wednesday! It's in a hospital for PRN floating staff. I'm super excited, and super nervous! I haven't had a formal interview since my son was a baby (he's...

  4. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    Yep, now just have to pick a good time to follow up on these "under review" applications....I put one in on the 7th that I really need to call about but since I put one in for the same company...

  5. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    I'm sure they do prefer at least 6 months experience I'm was just saying I met the requirements of the ones I applied to (2 semesters of clinical) and I'm not completely opposed to LTC. I did do some...

  6. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    Still no luck finding a job. Since I have no experience as a CNA other than nursing school clinical, what skills do you suggest putting on a resume? I don't know if I'm not getting these jobs simply...

  7. How to tell people your child got lice

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I completely agree and I've told everyone we've been in contact with now. Every sign of them is gone. I've gone through my daughters hair 3-4 times a day to pick any remaining nits out that I...

  8. How to tell people your child got lice

    RavensNation posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is not something I would have thought about before becoming a nursing student and it's cultural competence. So there's a little Burmese girl that my daughter plays with and her parents are first...

  9. How to tell people your child got lice

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeh I'm sure they know what lice is, but I didn't know if they knew the English word for it. Like I said the parents are first generation here and don't know a ton of English. I feel better now that...

  10. How to tell people your child got lice

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well we (my husband and I) went to tell them. We spoke to the father because he knows the most English. We explained my daughter got lice but we didn't know from who, but since our kids play he should...

  11. How to tell people your child got lice

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know I will have to bite the bullet, not trying to get out of it in anyway. I wouldn't feel comfortable with them playing until the little girl is cleared. It's just so hard to tell people you don't...

  12. How to tell people your child got lice

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do know that lice doesn't come from being dirty, but like you said it's a little known fact and I'm not sure if they know that or not..best thing I can do educate them to the best of my ability. I...

  13. How to tell people your child got lice

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe you're taking what I said out of context here, I'm not being racist, and if you think I am I'm sorry for that. But people do view things like this quite differently. Even the people I have told,...

  14. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    I got my certification like the end of April, beginning of May. I've applied to everything I'm my area. With school I just cannot venture too far or have a crazy work schedule so it limits my options...

  15. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    Thanks everyone! I'm still looking/putting in applications. I really just came on here to rant because it's frustrating! How are you expected to get experience when no one is willing to give it?...

  16. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    I live in Maryland. I have not applied to home care...wouldn't even know where to look for home care jobs. And as far as the 6 months that is true on all of the ones I have applied to but they all...

  17. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    Initially no I wasn't looking into LTC only because I wanted to be in a hospital so I would have my foot in the door once I graduate. I by no means think I'm above LTC. But I only have my CNA and my...

  18. Getting frustrated job searching

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

    I've applied to every hospital in my area to every PRN position available. With the exception of one hospital because it says phlebotomy preferred (not required) but when you go to apply and it says...

  19. Graduating nursing school.....now I'm not so sure I want to be a nurse!

    RavensNation replied to bearpaw2222's topic in General Students

    I'm actually in an ADN Program and my instructor did tell us we will have more clinical experience than the BSN students which is odd?? What is the reason for that? Any way even my clinicals haven't...

  20. Dizzy during circumcision

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys for all of the comments, def makes me feel better about it. And I think maybe some of you are right in that it's close to my heart. I have a son who is circumcised, and needless to say if...

  21. Dizzy during circumcision

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

    I guess I say lucky bc I haven't really seen anything out of the ordinary on any rotation I've had so far. I want to see as much as I can while in school. I really hope I become desensitized to this...

  22. Dizzy during circumcision

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

    My overall goal is to be somewhere in the maternity unit once I'm done school. I'm actually in the process of applying for a tech position in the nursery and it was the tech who assisted the dr so if...

  23. Care plan for stroke patient

    RavensNation posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  25. Care plan for stroke patient

    RavensNation replied to RavensNation's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've got the majority of my care plan finished I just wanted to know which would be most appropriate I guess. Do you think pain would be more appropriate than either of the other 2? 3rd baby, second...
