   ensru011 replied to everthesame's topic in Med-Surg

   That is a great question...I actually just got a job interview for the observation unit about 10 minutes ago so I could use some information about this, too. My understanding is that it is kind of like a short-term medical-surgical unit/an extension...

2. Medical Disqualifications--Should I even try?

   ensru011 replied to ensru011's topic in Government

   Thank you guys for the replies. I will apply after I am off my medications for a year and see where that takes me! In the meantime, I will finish school and gain some experience as an RN. I figured I was at a huge disadvantage, but maybe in a year...

5. Blood Pressure

   ensru011 replied to MarieFutureRN's topic in CNA/MA

   Don't be nervous about it! I was the first time I took my skills test and I failed. The second time around, I made sure I knew how to do it and didn't stress out about it and I passed with flying colors. You can do it :). Practice, practice, prac...

6. Why would a nurse reccomend NOT becoming CNA?

   ensru011 replied to Hausfrau's topic in CNA/MA

   I agree with all of the above. Being a CNA gives you the experience you need and should want in order to go further into nursing. I just started 2 jobs as a CNA and I am more excited than ever to start my program because I'm finally getting the ins...

9. Tomorrow is my first night shift!

   ensru011 replied to NsgChica's topic in General Nursing

   I usually have a diet Coke on hand (along with every other hour of my day so I'm not sure if that counts) but I don't completely rely on caffeine. I can usually tell off the bat if I'm going to be tired or not for my shift. I just recently started...

10. Working Night Shift and School

    ensru011 replied to jcasti02's topic in General Students

    I agree. As long as I'm aren't so tired I can't function, it's actually easier if I just stay up and go to class for a couple of hours and then go to bed. :)
