  1. Acclimating to Death?

    I agree with the balanced perspective on death. It is hard to understand the reason behind very difficult losses. A loss will be hard for at least one person - or I hope that to be the case. I always am particularly saddened by the deaths that occur ...
  2. Navy Nursing and Ethics

    Thank you all for your input. I was coming at it from the thought that there might not be formal statements on objecting to participating in certain programs or procedures. If you can't turn down assignments (referencing a post by Athena concerning t...
  3. As I have the opportunity to move into nursing school and advance my training, I reflect upon what I will miss as my job responsibility expands. Frankly, I feel that the CNA work that I do is the heart of patient care. I am certainly not trying to mi...
  4. Navy Nursing and Ethics

    I do not know if anyone has encountered a situation that would enable them to answer my question, but I am wondering about a navy nurse's right to object to participate in procedures or programs that conflict with his or her own convictions. That wou...
  5. Things You Do In Nursing School

    Thanks for the laugh! The most that I have had someone remark about personal care done during a bath was an interesting older gentleman to whom I was providing much needed peri care. Having worked as a CNA at my hospital for almost a year now, I am w...
  6. Anyone in the nursing program at Wichita State???

    That makes sense to me. Right now, WSU is just my best option and I'll move ahead with that unless something else happens. Right now, I'm also exploring the option of Navy nursing after I graduate. That's certainly not something I ever anticipated lo...
  7. Anyone in the nursing program at Wichita State???

    I actually know that God had a hand in my acceptance at the hospital. It was my first ever CNA job, since I had just finished my training in August. I was sooo green and inexperienced. I needed it since I knew I couldn't be on my parents' insurance a...
  8. Anyone in the nursing program at Wichita State???

    I am using my nurse aid certification full-time currently at my local hospital. I really enjoy it and I have such a better idea of how things work, compared to what I knew going into classes in fall of '07. How about you?
  9. Anyone in the nursing program at Wichita State???

    I am going to try to get all of my materials in for spring '09 (Sept. 1 deadline), though I don't have my heart set on it. I figure that it won't kill me to ease my way back into school, especially when it comes to finances. Good for you and Chemistr...
  10. Starting at (almost) the very beginning...

    I appreciate your thoughts and information. You have confirmed what I was suspecting to be true. I'm trying to work on this patience thing. I've finally gotten to the point where I don't have to finish my BSN in the next year (if it were possible), b...
  11. Anyone in the nursing program at Wichita State???

    I feel like my schooling is a long story at this point...lol. I have my associate of arts from my ol' faithful community college and one year of half-useful credits from a school that I opted to leave last September when I discovered how bad their NC...
  12. Anyone in the nursing program at Wichita State???

    Thanks for the quick reply! That is good to know.
  13. Anyone in the nursing program at Wichita State???

    I have met with a counselor at WSU, but I can't remember if they use the actual TEAS score as a factor in admissions, or if they just examine whether you were in the acceptable range. Any thoughts on this? I know that some schools actually use the te...
  14. Vital Signs - what's your routine??

    I can't give any different advise than what has already been offered - all good! We have automatic machines in every room at my hospital, and provided that they cooperate, my routine usually involves getting the temperature first, but after I have ap...
  15. After taking a year off from school (the program was doing poorly), I am ready to get back into a nursing program - of course, assuming that I will hopefully be accepted at some point for spring or fall '09. As I have started to consider my options, ...
