  1. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    Thank you all for your support, I appreciate your comments. I have decided that it is just not practical to take the ICU job, there is just no way. I have turned it around in my head every which way for the past few days, trying to think of just so...
  2. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    Thank you LadyFree! I will ask, your correct, it wouldn't hurt. Hopefully, if I turn the position down at the ICU, another position at this hospital could still be open to me in the future.
  3. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    To make it just a little worse, I was offered a job at a very large and amazing hospital in an ICU but it is twice as far away as the non-skilled facility. There is just no way my car would make it, not to mention I would never get to see my family,...
  4. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    Don't judge someone who is in the situation to borrow money for rent. My family and I have worked hard to get to where we are now and have busted our butts in school to get off of food stamps and change our lives. I would have gotten a job as a wai...
  5. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    My money situation is desperate right now and the only job offer I have had (after puting in atleast 30 applications) is at a non-skilled, long-term care facility. The pay is great but the job is so far from what I want it's not even funny. My only...
  6. Anatomy and Physiology

    If it makes you feel any better, the cats you dissect are those that shelters were unable to find homes for and were thus euthanized, but so as not to be a total waste, their bodies are donated for educational purposes. The same with cow eyes, brain...
  7. Are You A Victim?

    My problem is that I find myself too often trying to help these people. But I have found out 99% of the time that they don't want help, they don't want to change to do better, they just want to whine and complain and validate their failure. I would...
  8. Help!! New LVN having hard time with interviews :/

    To make the best impression during an interview you should always answer a question put to you as a scenario, whether it is or not, because that gives the interviewer the best impression of what you are capable of and what you are like. If they ask ...
  9. What would you do?

    And this is a pretty pathetic excuse for a homework assignment for a DNP....this might qualify for a freshman RN, but a doctorate assignment, come on.
  10. So you think flu vaccinations don't work . . . .

    This line of thought always cracks me up....."I would like to think/hope most parents do want what is best for their kid" which basically means "I hope parents do what is best for their child" which is only what I think is best for your child. Don'...
  11. A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    I didn't realize a nurse's aide could draw blood, other than a finger stick glucose check?
  12. Norovirus

    It is possible to aerosolize particles while you are cleaning up feces, especially large messes, even if you are careful. Also, you said that you couldn't wash your hands right away so you used sanitizer and was careful to not touch your face....bu...
  13. Prevalence of Christians in the field of nursing

    Why do Christians always think everything started with them? The arrogance and/or ignorance is astounding. "The nursing profession" does not have its roots in Judaeo-Christian traditions butterfly, "nursing" or people who have acted as "nurses" has...
  14. RN in a Vet's office

    7) Mrs. White thought that the Frontline+ (flea & tick) medication she picked up at her local pet store was to be given orally. Or how about the K-9 frontline or OTC K-9 flea med given to the cat, because they got more for the same price versus ...
  15. RN in a Vet's office

    Yes, Orange Tree, you learned to mimic/copy/memorize how to do things because you were trained on the job, but you have no clue why you do those things and the reasoning behind them. I have met many assitants like you, who think they are just the sa...
