1. Work situation, upset, opinions needed

   Cleopf01 replied to beeble's topic in Relations

   Good point. I agree with you. I suppose I just got caught up with what in my head became an "either - or" situation---making the CNA feel important vs. saving a life. And it's not, you can be respectful, while still making it about the patient.

2. Work situation, upset, opinions needed

   Cleopf01 replied to beeble's topic in Relations

   I believe certain users need a debriefing on Maslow's hierarchy. Physical needs come before psychosocial, people! If a CNA is arguing with me about something of considerably less significance, while I'm trying to save a patient's life, darn right I...

   You remind me of a someone I know. This husband was cheating on his wife, and the wife's friend witnessed it. The friend tried to tell the wife about what she saw, but the wife became angry and refused to believe that her husband would be capable of ...

8. Does Houston need another nursing school? University of St. Thomas plans on opening

   Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas

   Great points! I think that the U.S Dept of Education could have awarded the grant to cheaper school. Argghh.

    "A negative attitude will not take you anywhere. I can't understand why someone with this outlook would even go into nursing." That's about as close as you can get to telling me I'm in the wrong field. I don't think I was clear enough for you. Your ...

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas

    Oh goodness gracious, you haven't even begun nursing school yet, and here you are trying to tell me I've chosen the wrong field. Two years from now, I'd like to hear an updated response from you. Mmmmmm kay? kay.

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas

    Where in Texas are you located? You can believe what you want, but many qualified graduates (yes even those with positive attitudes) are not finding jobs. A positive attitude only takes you so far.

13. Does Houston need another nursing school? University of St. Thomas plans on opening

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas

    Yep, I'm aware of this. My primary point of this thread was to draw attention to the fact that Houston is getting another nursing school (something we absolutely do not need). I wonder what type of student will be attracted to U of St. Thomas? Proba...

14. No jobs...Seriously reconsider nursing school

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas

    Why??? Because I genuinely care about these future nursing students. My program is free. How common is that? Not very. Sure pursue it if you have the time and money---to not be guaranteed a job at graduation. I'm telling you all of this based on all...

    "How about some suggestions on how to get your foot in the door, such as volunteering while still in school or working part-time in whatever capacity you can." Because I don't think these options are going to solve the problem. You pitying me.... I...
