1. Medical Assistant as school nurse

   Heaven-Leigh replied to smileitout's topic in School

   My friends sister attended a two day cna course with me and she is now the "nurse" for a middle school with no RN or Lpn on site and allowed to administer medications. I think they labeled her a different title like health aide which allows her to ad...

2. CNA impersonating RN

   Heaven-Leigh replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

   When in doubt, ask allnurses :)

3. CNA impersonating RN

   Heaven-Leigh replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

   That could be entirely possible that she is a health assistant or UAP. And you are correct, I am just going off of information that her brother has told me. He is the one that told me her name badge has RN, and I have not personally seen her myself i...

4. CNA impersonating RN

   Heaven-Leigh replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

   Living in a town that is small enough to not have a mall, movie theater, or Walmart/Target and only about 3 grocery stores in the entire town, running into people isn't uncommon by any means. I did seem to interrogate him about his sister, as it just...

5. CNA impersonating RN

   Heaven-Leigh posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm not really sure where this goes, but I ran into an old friend the other day and asked how his family was doing. My friend's sister has worked as a CNA for years, but never went to nursing school as she became a stay at home wife as soon as she go...

6. Compromise to be a nurse?

   Heaven-Leigh replied to CNAAJ's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Personally, I would just work for a year & save up as much as I could to restart at the cheaper lpn schools. If you moved in with your sister, you would have to pay out of state tuition. If you work for a year & then attend a cheaper lpn prog...

7. Iv drip rates

   Heaven-Leigh replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in Student Assist

   The answer is 25 drops per minute, but I don't know how.

8. Iv drip rates

   Heaven-Leigh posted a topic in Student Assist

   I've been trying to self teach myself about IV drip rates, but I'm stumped on one particular problem: "The nurse sets up a 1000cc bag of normal saline. The IV tubing has a drop factor of 15 drops/ml/minute. How many drops/minute will the saline be ad...

9. Being productive after clinical days

   Heaven-Leigh posted a topic in General Students

   Generally, I study every single day except Saturdays & Sundays (my only days I schedule myself "off" from studying). I always write out a schedule of chapters to read everyday, including after clinical days. Lately, I've been having trouble doing...

10. How would you break these up?

    Heaven-Leigh replied to kolabee's topic in General Students

    I would take algebra, micro & A&P together. Algebra is pretty basic & pretty much just a step above high school level math courses. I actually found college algebra to be a lot easier than the lower level math classes for some reason. I'm...

11. Transferred into pensacola State college nursing program

    Heaven-Leigh replied to Shantela30's topic in General Students

    Just checked the PSC website about transfer students, and it states that you will need to provide a letter of eligibility to return to your previous nursing program and be in good standing with the program you are transferring from. Since you used al...

12. The most frustrating part of NS..

    Heaven-Leigh replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Students

    I never said I agreed with rounding up. I only said it was frustrating. I didn't ask for an extra 0.1 to be given to me, nor have I ever argued for points back on a test. I accepted my grade because that's what I earned, but nevertheless, it is still...

13. The most frustrating part of NS..

    Heaven-Leigh replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Students

    I am happy that I passed. I'm blessed and thankful to have the opportunity to even be in nursing school & succeed to the next semester. I'm just venting at seeing my grade being that close; don't mind me. I have three weeks off for winter break a...

14. The most frustrating part of NS..

    Heaven-Leigh posted a topic in General Students

    ... Is that they don't round. 0.1 point away from an A this semester. I don't know if I should celebrate for all the hard work to earn that B+ or be annoyed that I'm so close yet so far away from that A.

15. Fluid and electrolytes

    Heaven-Leigh posted a topic in General Students

    I'm reading a chapter in my book about F&E, and even ordered fluid and electrolytes made easy and the fluid & electrolytes demystified book, but it seems like all of the symptoms of K, ca, mg, ect seem very similar. (Vomiting, fatigue, muscle...
