2. Why are RN's so fat!

   Julie frm Dallas replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

   Reminds me of a thread I read at the SDN...a doctor had posted asking how to get the nurses to like him...another doctor replied "give 'em donuts" this was followed by even more degrading posts from doctor's/med-students about overweight nurses and ...

3. problems with coworkers...what do you do?

   Julie frm Dallas replied to indierock's topic in CNA/MA

   Let me guess, you work in a nursing home? I hate to tell you this but it's been my experience that you will work with far more of these types than any other. Just try to not let it get to you, be a good example and exhibit the kind of professiona...

   Julie frm Dallas posted a topic in General Students

   A friend from work was recently kicked out of the LVN program because she had an average of 74.4 and according to her, you must have at least a 75 at that particular school. I am planning on entering the LVN program here in Austin probably in Sprin...

5. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

   Julie frm Dallas replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

   I am a CNA, it's something I told myself I would NEVER do. Well, we all know how that goes. Anyhoo, I didn't care much for it at first but I think after a while you become sort of, desensitized to poop. At least I did. It's really not that bad...

7. Is LTC really this bad?

   Julie frm Dallas replied to Sheri257's topic in Geriatric

   Yes, it really is. Constantly short-staffed, a lot of attitude problems are probably because of the stress caused from the patient/caregiver ratio....and you can pretty much count on being s*it on by family members and administration.

8. Generational Gap in nursing?

   Julie frm Dallas replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

   I know exactly what you mean. It is frustrating enough putting up with that attitude at work, then to come onto the boards (as I have in the past) and see a thread titled "What's with these young things?" Etc. I think it would be interesting if ...

9. Anyone else "caught" MRSA?

   Julie frm Dallas posted a topic in Safety

   I've worked as a CNA in a NH for two years and am taking nursing pre-req's. About two weeks ago I got what I thought were shingles on my inner thigh. Long story short, things got nasty and it turns out I have MRSA. The medical assistant didn't giv...

    I did report this to my charge nurse and, to the weekend RN, my charnge nurse just shook her head as if to say, "that's awful" then went about passing her meds. The weekend RN told me she'd "leave the adon a note" which is her response to everythin...

14. Pros vs. Cons of Geriatrics?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to maryruth's topic in Geriatric

    Well, I commend anyone for wanting to help our elderly. But to be honest, working in a nursing home is no longer where I want to be. It's not because of the resident's, or so much the workload as it is the pure apathetic attitude of my higher-up...
