  1. Assisted living CNA BORED

    BBboy replied to lpn.hopeful's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  2. CNA? Yes or no?

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

    Being a CNA was the best possible choice for me prior to getting into nursing school. I've been exposed to so many different situations, able to communicate with a patient under almost any condition,...

  3. Working as a CNA while in Nursing School?

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

    Its doable, i work at a hospital, just finished my first quarter of nursing with a 4.0, and still had plenty of time for social life and hitting the gym. All you need to do is be organized and if you...

  4. Is this a standard requirement?

    BBboy replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its a pretty standard requirement i'd say. Some schools in my area allow unlimited attempts to get the 100, mine just requires a 90% by the second attempt. I'd say its a good one to have though since...

  5. Should I give up?

    BBboy replied to mcmullenbrooke's topic in General Students

    OP what is your GPA and grades in each pre-req? More often than not pre-req grades are indicative of how well you will do in the future. Anatomy & Physiology is base knowledge that you will need...

    BBboy replied to Maroon2017's topic in General Students

    BBboy replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    With your gpa you would only have a shot at getting into a lottery based program, if you met the minimum to apply. You have to realize a lot of people want to be nurses, which is why the competitive...

  8. What to do during pre-reqs

    BBboy replied to wvickroy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ some places will train you so if you can find that definitely take it. I only paid about 700 and was able to attain that the first paycheck easy, 1600 for a CNA course seems pretty steep,...

  9. Taking TEAS before physiology

    BBboy replied to estoque's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will only be tested on the information from the book. Taking the class prior would help because you have the general knowledge base, but literally everything you need is in that

  10. Two Lab Courses at Once

    BBboy replied to miss_xtine's topic in General Students

  14. Working short

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

    Time management and patient safety. You can cut corners here and there with some tasks but pt safety is always número uno. Also not dwelling on the issue of working short and focusing more on your...

  15. New aide advice?

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

    I too am a young aide. Traits of a great aide: being able to develop relationships with those that you are giving care to and those you're working with (although you can't please everyone). To me it...

  16. Need advice on how to proceed

    BBboy replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. CNA Job - Is It Really That Hard To Get a Job?

    BBboy replied to iam_kathryne's topic in General Students

    Hospitals will seldom hire anyone without experience unless they have a connection. In fact even with experience it is still difficult (I managed to snag a hospital position after holding positions in...

  20. Anatomy & Physiology 1

    BBboy replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just had to delete a whole big reply. In short, our definition of concept mapping is most likely different. As im finishing up patho my understanding is that we implement the ADPIE process and...

  21. Anatomy & Physiology 1

    BBboy replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm finishing up pathophysiology right now and I do not think you need concept mapping for the A&P series because you simply won't be tested at that level until you're in nursing school. The...

  22. Starting CNA course in July: tips?

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

    Because CNA is just the basic licensing there's not much you'll need to worry about prior in my opinion. Just make sure you understand the information youre presented as it touches the surface level...

  24. Help! I want to be an NP but A&P is killing me! Should I reconsider?

    BBboy replied to Hefziba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nothing new to say from me really. A&P is literally just all memorization and regurgitating that information on the homework, tests, and practicals if you have that. I'm assuming you must not have...
