1. Advice Please!!

   EMaas replied to Ma_girl26's topic in General Nursing

   First of all, as an MA, you work ONLY under the MD's license, not the nurse practitioner. MA's only work under an MD's license, so you should not be doing anything under the NP that seems questionable to you. Secondly, your facility has to accomidat...

2. Nurse Impersonators

   EMaas replied to NancyRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry if my past posts have seemed rude, and they have, however, I feel like I need to stick up for myself and what I do for a living. I completely understand the entire nurse impersonater issue, as I am commonly mistaken for an RN and am always ...

3. Nurse Impersonators

   EMaas replied to NancyRN's topic in General Nursing

   Not only have I been a CMA for 6 years, I'm also an EMT and an RN student. I am frustrated at the whole start of this post because it has, once again, turned into a CMA bashing ground. I know several CMA's who come here as nursing students, looking...

4. Nurse Impersonators

   EMaas replied to NancyRN's topic in General Nursing

7. Seeking your expertise with blood draws

   EMaas replied to WashYaHands's topic in General Nursing

   Hmm..I always use the brachial on pt.s who aren't dehydrated or have flat veins. I go for the radial if I can't find an otherwise good vein. I always be sure my tourniquet is good and tight and I like to hold the vein flat when sticking. I always ...

8. Who Influenced You???

   EMaas replied to Sylvia's topic in General Nursing

   I worked in a very busy Urgent Care/ER combo when I first graduated from MA school. I was trained by an RN who had worked straight ER for about 15 years and had seen and done about everything. After my first week of work, I was in awe of her. The ...

   EMaas replied to kush35's topic in General Nursing

   I am surprised that you aren't able to simply observe at the hospital where you work to get experience. We do general GXT's are our clinic ( graded excersise tests) and all of our persantine and sestimbs are done at the hospital in the cardiac care ...
