  1. Please help my grades are killing me!!

    Cakelady1 replied to Leigh_delgado's topic in General Students

    Yes. My ADN program of choice is extremely competitive. I pretty much need a 4.0, a really great HESI score, and a lot of hours worked as a CNA to get in. So far, I have that 4.0 and I'm working on...

  2. Taking 20 credit hours?

    Cakelady1 replied to Kaylle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one can answer if this is okay for you or not. Only you can decide that. For me, that would be too much. I have children, a house, kids on sports teams, piano lessons, cub scouts, a custom cake...

    Cakelady1 replied to Lalalove1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  4. Help! What to wear for CNA State test?!?!

    Cakelady1 replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wore yoga pants, flip flops, and a loose fitting top. Good thing, too - the girl I was paired up with got modified bed bath. Don't wear make-up. Glad I didn't, since she washed my face. About...

  8. Auditory learner - how to study for subjects like Pharmacology?

    Cakelady1 replied to swimgrl554702's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with everyone else here. When I make flash cards, I repeat it to myself as I make them and writing it down is a bonus. I even go through them while I'm on the treadmill, talking to myself the...

  9. Nursing school app denied... CNA in the meantime?

    Cakelady1 replied to JJwang's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Does your school have a "scale" system for admittance? For example, my program of choice gives points for hours worked in the healthcare field. Points are given for work as a CNA, MA, EMT, etc. If...

  15. Should I wait to have a baby?

    Cakelady1 replied to AHobbs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ovarian Reserve issues do not present with symptoms. AMH will tell you how many eggs are left in your basket and FSH will tell you the quality of those

    Cakelady1 replied to AHobbs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't let this fly, I'm sorry. (No offense intended, TojayRobin! I know and understand that I am abnormally obsessed with infertility, and that's simply because my own journey to motherhood was so...

  17. Should I wait to have a baby?

    Cakelady1 replied to AHobbs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cakelady1 replied to FNP2B1210's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    YES. I really had to speak up during my clinicals. I had to volunteer, ask "May I do that for you?", etc. It wasn't that the CNA I shadowed wasn't doing a good job, it's just that she was so busy...
