I say just ask to do stuff as an CNA and the nurses that see you are willing will show you more. I had the NA listen to lung sounds and she is only in her 2nd semester of her BSN program. I swear the NA route is the best way to learn.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182010888325852576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714465779433830767.post-63228404380422914212011-02-08T21:27:03.200-06:002011-02-08T21:27:03.200-06:00Last semester our teachers were like get in there,...Last semester our teachers were like get in there, you can do this! Today was really laid back she picked the easiest patients for us on the whole floor I think.
