1. UC Health Nurse Residency July 2017

   rdavis37 replied to SF BSN2b's topic in Colorado

   I realized I have two allnurses accounts and signed into this one instead of the other oops! This is Bekah from few posts ago. @UVMgrad--It's crazy; PV offered me a job on the Medical floor. I declined the offer because I got a job in Oregon that I ...

2. License by exam vs. endorsement

   rdavis37 posted a topic in Oregon

   I recently got my first nursing job in Oregon. I applied for licensure in Colorado because I thought that's where I was going to work, but my plans changed. My NCLEX is June 21, and the Colorado BON takes about 3-4 weeks to process your application. ...

   Thanks for your help.

4. Quadriplegics & shock

   rdavis37 replied to rdavis37's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What else would I have done besides moving him if he was already defecating? Or maybe it's just that I moved him incorrectly. As for the milk, you're right. I should've asked a nurse instead of trusting his wife. It just doesn't make sense to me how ...

5. Quadriplegics & shock

   rdavis37 replied to rdavis37's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Also, JustBeachyNurse- I also just looked it up and there are some parts of the bowel program that CNAs cannot do. I should have checked on that. However, in that situation when he was already defecating when I got there, I did not know what to do. H...

6. Quadriplegics & shock

   rdavis37 replied to rdavis37's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Okay, I understand. I will definitely talk to my boss about this. The original reason I took the job was the good learning experience, and that I know several nurses who have worked for them as aides and they have a good reputation. But you're right,...

7. Quadriplegics & shock

   rdavis37 replied to rdavis37's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have training as a CNA, and I have been trained on the job for this. It is basic CNA work, except for this one time when it was the bowel program, which I have been trained for once. Usually I have help available, but when I walked into this situat...

8. Quadriplegics & shock

   rdavis37 replied to rdavis37's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am not working for an agency; this is just the patient and his wife. I believe a nurse visits on occasion, but his wife does a lot of the nursing procedures (she has been trained). His wife is the one who told me to give him milk and raise his head...

9. Quadriplegics & shock

   rdavis37 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I work as an aide for a quadriplegic. I will be starting nursing school next fall and just need some experience. Today I went to help him out and when I got there he was starting to poop (we do a bowel program). I tried to turn him so I could have a...
