1. HD orientation?

   zorabanks replied to kdunurse's topic in Urology

   5 weeks is not enough time for someone new to HD! I had 3 months and that was not enough! It took me about 5 weeks just to learn the machine and I am a fast learner. Try to hang in there if you can. So, far I really enjoy the work, regardless of the ...

2. I was yelled at by my nurse yesterday

   zorabanks replied to EllieBean13's topic in General Students

   OP this is your learning experience and you are in charge of it. You ask as many questions you need in order to learn! That nurse was out of line yelling at you! That is one of the many problems among nurses. If that nurse cant handle having a studen...

3. I Love being a Christian Nurse

   zorabanks replied to Lauryen828's topic in Spirituality

   WOW Merlyn, why does the OP's comment sound "bloody condescending" to you? I believe in God of heaven and serve and work people that do not. I try to respect everyone regardless of what they beleive, their personal apperance, status, sexual perferenc...

5. I want to curl up in a ball and cry

   zorabanks replied to JenniferA428's topic in General Nursing

   OP, something like this happened to me. Went on interview, got call from manager, I called manager back (nurse), but she never returned my call after calling me! To this day never found out what happened, she could have at leased left a voice message...

7. Does a CNA have to wipe butts?

   zorabanks replied to sssssaidthesnake's topic in CNA/MA

   Oh, and you have to wipe not only the butts with poop, but the poop you have to wipe off of YOURSELF when the patient throws it at you or explodes on your leg LOL...this is Soooo true!!! LOL:yeah::yeah:

8. Does a CNA have to wipe butts?

   zorabanks replied to sssssaidthesnake's topic in CNA/MA

   Does an RN/LPN have to 'wipe butts'? Yes, at some point in your nursing career. That is really a bad way to look at helping others. I am sure if they could do it themselves they woull. Yes, as a CNA you will have to provide pericare/personal hygein a...

11. You know its a seeker when . . .

    zorabanks replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Emergency

    Pain is what the patient says it is. I know that ppl are drug seekers, but I have been in ER with 2 family members who really were in pain but treated like drug seekers. My was in a car accident and ER doc treated him so bad! Didn't even x-ray him or...

    zorabanks replied to zorabanks's topic in Urology

    Thanks "awheat", glad to know that I'm in good company & that it will get better. Are you still in orientation? I am almost done orienting with CCHT, next will be with RN. May God continue to bless you!

14. Why were the nurses give me a hard time when I was just doing my job?

    zorabanks replied to italianice3's topic in General Nursing

    Policy is great, but in the "REAL" world it doesn't always "fit", for lack of a better word. Was there enough staff on duty that night for there to be 1:1 with a patient? Would you have been sitting in a location that you would have seen both patient...
