   ImMrBill3, RN replied to albert6jed's topic in Male Students

   I'll be seeing if the mask seals around my beard in the next two weeks. If not I'll shave it, but the hair stays.

3. Did I Miss Something?

   ImMrBill3, RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

   Hey that's what I do! I am lucky to have a "SuperWife" she works full time and takes care of most of the household stuff. I know I am spoiled but I think there is also trade off. I take care of other things. Well I do! More power to you all and if yo...

   The graduating class of summer 09 from WVU SON now has their ATT's and temporary permits. Mine arrived with my name mis-spelled so I am in the process of getting that fixed. My ATT has it correct so I am going to schedule my NCLEX soon. Those of us s...

   ImMrBill3, RN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in West Virginia

   I just graduated from the WVU traditional RN program and thought it was great. Of course not perfect but its a great school and a good school of nursing. I know a bunch of the students doing BS (in another field) to BSN and they seem to think its OK....

8. Curious about your courses

   ImMrBill3, RN replied to luckystarr's topic in CNA/MA

   I got my CNA in GA and took only CNA course. The classes you are taking will be of great benefit to you though, especially if you decide to pursue nursing.

9. Lazy Aides I have worked with..and my answer to it

   ImMrBill3, RN replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

   To those who have suggested that aides have "thier own" responsibilities, CNAs perform their duties under direct supervision of nurses by law (nurse practice acts). The nurse is responsible for delegating these "responsibilities" properly. That means...

10. Go find your patient

    ImMrBill3, RN replied to irmaRN's topic in Emergency

    My suggestion is call security and notify your supervisor. I don't think a triage nurse can walk away from a room full of patients to find one who has left.

    ImMrBill3, RN replied to ndynrs's topic in General Nursing

    My first one was very rough. I was working as a CNA doing home care for HIV pts. I arrived at a patients house within minutes of his committing suicide by shotgun. I entered the house with my key and searched for the pt. There was a faint smell that ...

13. Interview on Friday 8/21

    ImMrBill3, RN replied to nursenancy82's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck! I think looking at the job sites info on "behavioral interviewing" might be useful. The basic idea is to find out how you handled something in the past as an indicator of how you will handle it in the future. Go over your nsg school experi...

14. Study groups?I dont know how

    ImMrBill3, RN replied to mom35's topic in General Students

    Study groups can be invaluable. A great group will boost your grade an entire letter. I had a fantastic study group in Chem and we would all take turns explaining and working problems on a dry erase board. In nursing classes it was essential. Don't w...

15. New ER RN grad...need documentation help!!

    ImMrBill3, RN replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    You do documentation in your ER? Just kidding but when we get patients up in S/M ICU the documentation is pretty bare bones and very much acute condition focused. I agree with the previous poster to read others notes and learn from the example. I als...
