1. I work with a DUMB nurse!

   luvmy3kids replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

   Because in the world we live in today... where online chat rooms, emails, text messages, and IMing has taken the place of real face to face conversations... we tend to lose something within ourselves that makes us humble, forgiving, and thoughtful hu...

2. Nursing Stereotypes and a Dumb Society

   luvmy3kids replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

   Well said. I agree about the family and friends too. I think there are more people out there who respect and appreciate nurses than people are giving them credit for.

4. CNA expired... retaking test without retaking the class

   luvmy3kids replied to luvmy3kids's topic in CNA/MA

   Thank you! Great idea about YouTube! I never thought of that! I still have my textbook so I'm going to go through that, but I'd love to see someone make a bed with a patient in it again... I just can't remember all those little steps. Thanks again ...

5. Question about isolation patients???

   luvmy3kids replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you so much for this information! I didn't know that. They do have a posted sign on the hand sanitizer that hangs outside the room that says you need to wash with soap and water, but I didn't know why. Can I ask why sanitizer doesn't work wi...

6. Question about isolation patients???

   luvmy3kids replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you so much! I've been extremely worried about this. I am very careful about keeping my hands and the stuff I have with me clean (especially between patients). I really appreciate your answer. Thanks again!

7. Question about isolation patients???

   luvmy3kids posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey all, I am working at a hospital right now and I have a question about isolation patients. (I haven't started NS yet so I don't know a lot about this and when I was trained in, nothing was said to me other than "wash your hands and put on a gown"...

8. CNA expired... retaking test without retaking the class

   luvmy3kids replied to luvmy3kids's topic in CNA/MA

   Thank you. I'm in Minnesota and you actually can work as a CNA if you just pass the test (even without taking the course and clinicals). I just don't see how you could pass it without it though (especially the skills portion... since it's so partic...

9. Late career choice @ 35

   luvmy3kids replied to blessed_2Bhere's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just turned 36. There is no way I could have handled any of this when I was 20 yrs old. I didn't have my priorities straight back then. I'm still nervous about it now, but I'm more confident in my abilities and I know I'm much more mature now as...

10. CNA expired... retaking test without retaking the class

    luvmy3kids posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hey all... it's been a while since I've posted on here. I've taken a little break from going to school for a while, and I finally think I'm ready to go back to it. However, one of the requirements for applying to NS is that my NA cert has to be up ...

11. Just curious of your opinion (I'm not asking for medical advice)

    luvmy3kids replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    I will never go back to a chiropractor again! I know this started from an adjustment he did. "Mild trauma to the chest". I did nothing other than those visits to cause this. Now there is nothing I can do to make the inflammation go away. It hurt...

12. Just curious of your opinion (I'm not asking for medical advice)

    luvmy3kids replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    I know! It will probably be over 100.00 for her to come in and tell me something that I could have guessed myself. I called hoping to just get some information and reassurance from the nurse as to what it could be... but when she heard "chest pain"...

13. Just curious of your opinion (I'm not asking for medical advice)

    luvmy3kids posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone. I hope you are all having a good week so far. I just have a question.. more so out of curiousity than anything. I've had some fairly painful chest pains since early July. I thought that I had pulled something (by doing cartwheels, y...

14. ADVICE PLEASE! Anatomy & Other Pre-reqs.

    luvmy3kids replied to Ready4theAction's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took Anatomy and Phys prior to Chem... but since then, our school has changed the requirements and you must take Chem before you can take A&P. There are some things you learn in Chemistry that really are helpful as far as Phys is concerned. ...
