1. Having a hard time w/ the elderly lately

   tishirajan replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

   Speaking of underwear hanging out....I have on very good authority that for some reason that ignorant trend began in prisons and it is an indication that the person wearing the low hanging pants is letting the other prisoners know he is "available".....

2. OMG! A&P!

   tishirajan posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey all! Hope you all are doing well. Well, my problem is I'm doing horrible on my lab practicals! I have done great on the quizzes and I can name all the required body parts. However, when it comes to test time I'm a total nimrod:banghead:!!!!! WTH...

3. Words you never dreamed you would say as a nurse...

   tishirajan replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   I was taking care of this little lady that only weighed 80lbs soaking wet. She was totally bed ridden but she could flail her arms like a windmill. She had really long fingernails that she kept painted bright red and she was also reallllllly hard o...

   tishirajan replied to Tiffie1210's topic in General Nursing

   Great info about the Dermablend. I'll be in nursing school next year and was wondering what to do about the 4 little stars I have on the inside of my wrist. LOL Lacie, you are so right on!

5. Cussed out and disprespected by CNA

   tishirajan replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

   As a former CNA I can honestly say that you were certainly in the right. I seems to me that this CNA is the type of person that has issues with just about anyone that doesn't see eye to eye with her or anything that she feels is undeserving towards ...

6. Is it ok to call CNA's nurses?

   tishirajan replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

   I think one has to earn the title of "nurse". I'm a former CNA going for my ADN. I always told my residents I was their aide if they called me nurse. The nurse gives the meds, I wipe the hiney

7. Occurrence In Idaho

   tishirajan replied to kubivern's topic in General Nursing

   This is one of the most asinine thing I've ever heard of!! She will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that these idiots who are hellbent on prosecuting her have to deal with the same situation. Wouldn't they want their loved ones to be comfort...

11. Say What??????!!!!!!!!!!

    tishirajan replied to gt4everpn's topic in Relations

    I had a little lady in LTC who insisted on her daily "prude" juice rather than prune juice. It was really funny because she was a real stickler about EVERYTHING, especially her "prude" juice because it kept her "insides regulated". Kinda like takin...

12. Taking A&P I Fall 2009?

    tishirajan replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have a great instructor as well. We are using Hole's and it just so happens she is one of the co-authors! Her teaching style is great and I love having her for both the lecture and the lab. Here's a great website that gives you an idea on what yo...

13. What is being a nurse?

    tishirajan replied to Student2Registered's topic in General Nursing

    You did what nurses are supposed to do. Nurses not only treat the physical but at times they have to treat the psychological and emotional as well. The extra time you spent was the right thing to do. I would want you as my nurse over one that was ...

15. Really discouraged

    tishirajan replied to Sponsor8's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would take a job as a CNA until I had the experience that would be required of me to obtain the job I was looking for. I know that would be a big difference in the pay but it would be more than if you're not making anything at this tim...
