1. Why are CNAs not held to professional standards?

   MadisonG replied to yachterotter's topic in CNA/MA

   hey, get out of LTC. It is backbreaking work, understaffed, and unprofessional. I used to work as an aide in LTC and hated it. I would never go back. Work at a hospital, much better and more help. Lighter work in my opinion. It will also inspire you ...

2. No opinions please just facts

   MadisonG replied to wheresmyrights's topic in Professionalism

   I am so sick and tired of America and their stupid politics and war on drugs. I am considering moving to Canada or going into home health or case management so that I will not have to worry about this on a random basis. Drug testing is a violation of...

3. Almost 4 years, no luck finding nursing job, life destroyed?!

   MadisonG replied to GotoGirlRN's topic in Recovery

   That is some straight BS!!!! That is discrimination. I am sorry this happened to you. It does not make any sense to me. I hope you find a new job.

4. This is it.

   MadisonG posted a topic in General Students

   I have 9 weeks left. I seriously am dragging my feet at this point. I do the minimum on my assignments and I procrastinate. My last class is critical care and I am halfway done with Practicum (L&D). I cannot wait until this is over. I am going th...

5. New grad left VOA after 4 mos. d/t fear of losing license.

   MadisonG replied to Carruth's topic in General Nursing

   If you can't take it, then quit. This is very unfair and nursing jobs are too plentiful to deal with that crap(despite what people say on here about finding a job. If you have 7 interviews that sounds plentiful to me) . Honestly I would omit it, if t...

   Awww how wonderful, you are so sweet and seem like you have a great heart. Yes i agree that prayerful is most powerful. That is what helped me through nursing school in the first place. I am happy you did not give up and stayed positive. Congrats. Co...

8. Is Peds/Maternity Class hard?

   MadisonG replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

   Okay so Peds yes, maternity (OB) No. At least for my school anyway, our class instructor made her exams very straight forward in OB. Anyway for Peds I bought one of those color coated flashcard books from walgreens and I filled it out front to back w...

9. Pregnant during last semester of nursing school, waiting to graduate or after a job?

   MadisonG replied to SSNS07's topic in General Students

   I am not sure. I am in the same boat. He says he is planning to pop the question soon and he wants a baby very badly ! I am 21 and he is 23, well I really want to wait until I am married but I would not mind if we were engaged. I am going into my las...

    I am starting the last semester of my BSN August 31st, I can not wait to be free ! lol I am nervous about where I will be doing my practicum and just getting through critical care. I am about ready to start saving for my boards and I've been bugging ...

11. The Dreaded Group Projects

    MadisonG replied to naptimeRN's topic in General Students

    Yea group projects suck ! Most of the time everyone does their part because everybody wants to pass, there may be 1-2 people who slack off but that is inevitable. I get pretty into it though and it turns out okay. In the beginning im like ugh, but th...

12. Gay student attending Christian Nursing school?

    MadisonG replied to gpark32's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Go for it !! It is nobody's business. Don't ever let something like this stop you. I believe in you. You will have tougher things to worry about as you get through the program. Go for it ! Your sexual orientation is not a road block, it is who you ar...

13. Taking 20 credit hours?

    MadisonG replied to Kaylle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That is a lot to take on. I think you should focus on one of the sciences at a time. Since these are the classes nursing programs generally look at. I took 18 credit hours as a freshman pre- nursing major back in 2011, and only had a 3.0 so maybe I a...

15. Nursing Students - How often do you complain to your significant other?

    MadisonG replied to 757RN's topic in General Students

    Yes !! All the time. He is my best support system besides other nursing students. The worst is when I get frustrated with him on exam days. I yell at him and say "you don't understand !" Then after I pass I feel so bad but he knows the routine haha. ...
