  1. Spooky Stuff

    Last summer I worked nights as a CNA on a surg/oncology floor. While I had several less tangible 'encounters' the most dramatic was when the call light went on for a pt who had already expired. It was around 3 am, everyone was at the nurse's statio...
  2. Real ER vs TV ER

    Calfax, great movie ideas. I especially like the Dolph Lundgren one but would you have him more Punisher-like or from that extremely bad/good movie I Come In Peace? And the ER mistake I liked? They've got a patient flat on his back with BP droppin...
  3. Roll call for Seattle

    LOL, yep, the Wizard of Oz reference is correct. Happy gathering, hopefully I'll be there someday, but right now I'm still finishing my RN! Enjoy Seattle, it's a great town.
  4. have you started becoming anal about things?

    :rotfl: :roll :rotfl: Oh my, I've always been anal, and thought I'd died and gone to heaven when I got into the nursing program and found out it was an asset. But mispronunciations....how about 'charistics' for 'characteristics?' Drove my whol...
  5. Roll call for Seattle

    What's up in Seattle? Haven't been on the board for a long time...too busy studying and getting through school! :roll
  6. Now Officially A Nursing Student!?!

    Congratulations!!! I know how exciting it is; I just got accepted myself and start on Sept. 22nd. Best of luck, I know you'll do great.
  7. sleep

    I'm a CNA and just started working nights myself. Granted, I don't have the pt responsibilities of the nurses, but I was flat out told...'it's ok if you want to sleep on your break.' Haven't had to; I'm one of those weird ones who'd rather be up al...
  8. Starting my very first job

    Congratulations Tinker, and good luck! I'm sure everything will go just wonderfully for you!
  9. I survived....

    I survived my first week as a CNA! I'm new to the medical field and have never worked as a CNA before; so I was lucky to get a job in a hospital, even though I didn't have any experience. Well, I'm getting it now and then some! I love it though! ...
  10. Religion and Nursing

    What a great thread to read through. I have found as well, since I'm not christian either, that it's best to just smile and nod even if I don't agree with the beliefs being expressed. IMHO, just because I don't agree, I don't have the right to inva...
  11. To everyone who is in an Associates program

    I am currently taking pre-req's and hope to start in the fall of '03 in the ADN program. I looked into trying to get into the Univ. of WA since my grades are good enough, but was told by an advisor that I probably wouldn't get in since I already hav...
  12. Chiropractors

    Of all the things I miss since moving and starting a new career, I miss my chiro the most. After having 4 sacroiliac sprains, he always got me back in place and back at 100%. I hate to think what kind of shape I'd be in today if I'd gone to a regul...
  13. Getting a CNA... worth the time?

    I'm taking pre-req's right now, and got my CNA license recently. I'm glad I did it, and have been applying at hospitals like crazy; unfortunately I haven't had a single call-back! I thought that was funny because there are ads everywhere, every hos...
  14. How do you spell relief?

    Another entry for the Galaxy Quest Best Line Contest: "Why is it always air ducts?" And MST3K rocks! Although the first guy was funnier, the blonde guy is easier on the eyes.
  15. prereq's

    I'm almost done with my pre-req's, just have physio this spring quarter. I'm taking them at a community college that does not offer nursing and then transferring them to the CC that does offer nursing. I was specifically told by my nursing advisor ...
