  1. Is not answering the phone for work bad?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Nursing

    When I read this, I had to ask myself if I wrote this while I was really tired, LOL. At any rate, I personally do not think it's bad not to answer. There have been too many times I have answered or...

  2. Brand new CNA - tips?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Laura_G_in_ID's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congratulation on landing your first CNA job! BTW: We both have the same ultimate goal of becoming a CNM. Pretty cool! Always carry a good pen, your staffing sheet (if your facility has these), a...

  3. First day of CNA Orientation- what to expect???

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to xxCourt96xx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know you posted this a few days ago, but just wanted to offer some insight. I think orientation can make the job seem more difficult than it actually is. For me, it was harder to watch someone do...

  4. Breastfeeding and Suspected Pregnancy - Vaccines for CNA Program

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to NaturesMedicine's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're welcome. Good luck!

  5. Breastfeeding and Suspected Pregnancy - Vaccines for CNA Program

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to NaturesMedicine's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I see you have already received some excellent advice. Another option would be to have titers done. If you have health insurance, it may or may not be covered. If you have to pay for this, it is a bit...

  6. CEU Changes in CA

    Clarifier S'il vous posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I became a CNA in Dec 2014. All of my classmates and I are/were pre-nursing students. We were told at that time by our instructors that our nursing prerequisite courses would count toward our CEUs. At...

  7. Nurse Assistant Exam

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to IHeartNursing_86's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That does suck! Maybe you can take a shorter course or find a facility you wouldn't mind working in for a year or so pay for your training. I'm sorry this is happening but just imagine how well you...

  8. I feel out of place in class.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Impossible_To_Tell's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm so glad to hear the positive updates from you! Sounds like you are doing much better than you had expected. I also like the advice that your instructors are not calling you out so much as creating...

  9. I feel out of place in class.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Impossible_To_Tell's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, I think you just need a kick in the pants, LOL. I'm in the same boat. It was more important for me to raise my family and I did that as long as I possibly could as a stay at home mom but there...

  10. Proper way to quit an on-call position?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Tacomaboy3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I remember reading on here that you should just not be available for the minimum amount of shifts required for your position. It is sort of a default way of quitting. Essentially, it is like issuing a...

  11. Intimidated

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    I'mma tellin' ya! Sucks to find that out way too

  12. Intimidated

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to matthewwilliams734's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely plan ahead for this idea. I know a lot of students who went to a private LVN program (same as LPN in other states) and later found out the information provided by the school was not exactly...

  13. Was I being a bully?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Slipping CMA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, I totally get it. I work for someone like that in home care and it drives me up the wall constantly. For example, I will be just about to do something within my normal routine and she will tell me...

  14. What classes are you taking? Fall 2016

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My last prerequisite for the ADN program I'm on the waiting list for: Microbiology; 5 units. Also, a resume writing class, which only takes place on two Saturdays; 1

  15. Hep B vaccine schedule question...I screwed up.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in General Students

    Mine paid. Many

  16. Hep B vaccine schedule question...I screwed up.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to PhillyRNtoBe's topic in General Students

    It definitely varies from person to person. Personally, I had missed the third shot twice, beginning the series about one year apart, with reasoning similar to your own. I recently had titers done for...

  17. Can I get into nursing school with what I have?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to patriciaadg's topic in General Students

    There are some community college programs that will accept C grades even in prerequisite courses and GPAs in your range. These tend to be lottery-based ADN programs. They also tend to have long...

  18. I almost quit today.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Clarifier S'il vous's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you. I will be sure to keep the families happy. I can imagine a lot rides on that. I already got more hours than I signed up for, so I'm hoping that's a good sign. I'll be sure to heed your...

  19. I almost quit today.

    Clarifier S'il vous posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Omgosh. It was the worst day ever. I am still orienting as a CNA in a LTC facility. I have been doing home care for a year and a half. It is so completely opposite of this job. I have had over a week...

  20. Was I being a bully?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Slipping CMA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, you should have done exactly what your boss yelled at you to do. It's unfortunate that the patients and their families have to suffer because MA A is a total clotpole. That's on her, not you. If...

  21. I almost quit today.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Clarifier S'il vous's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ahhh, today was such a better day. First of all, it ended up being a half-day, which was nice and unexpected. Secondly, it was just like night and day from my melt-down. The tough customers were still...

  22. I almost quit today.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Clarifier S'il vous's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The hardest hall is made up mostly of residents who have been there for years on end. Many are relatively young and resentful, bed-bound or wheelchair bound, and very, very picky. Of course, I don't...

  23. I almost quit today.

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to Clarifier S'il vous's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you both for your comments. You both made a lot of sense. I think the situation is two-fold. I know the CNA who was shadowing me was upset when she heard I would be continuing on to the nursing...

  24. Nursing urgent help

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to ashelly's topic in Nursing Career

    Most nursing courses require Chem 100 as a prerequisite. Therefore, you would not be able to take it simultaneously with a nursing course, nor would you qualify for the nursing course without passing...

  25. How did you guys study your CNA skills?

    Clarifier S'il vous replied to NotQuiteAntonio's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh gosh, I can relate. The 16 week classes with the skills labs are probably the best way to get ready for the test. You need to practice over and over till you have the skills down pat. Also, have...
