About sanncmd

I'm nearly finished with my first year of nursing school (ADN). I'll be pursuing my BSN. I currently work in a hospital as a CNA. I have a varied work history, most recently working as a corrections officer for four years in a community corrections program. :-) But my heart has always been in healthcare and I am LOVING nursing school. I'm enjoying everything I'm learning and am constantly astounded of what the human body is capable.

    sanncmd replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in New Nurse

    I was a new grad ADN and was hired onto a surgical floor. However...I worked as a CNA on that floor (only part time) for the last six months of nursing school to get my foot in the door. Their requirement is that I be enrolled in a BSN program at hir...

    Is this the same workplace holding an inquest over gummie bears in the doctors' stockings?

  3. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    sanncmd replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Never thought I'd get one patient who'd embody every single thing that drives me bonkers, but I did. Male in his 20's. Refusing to follow medical advice: had a bowel resection and was asking for food every five mins and from every single person who ...

  4. Is Nursing For Me?

    sanncmd replied to emmalee31b's topic in General Nursing

    You have much more experience than I do in LE, but I just wanted to say that I graduated police academy in 2008. I have security background and with my POST cert, I worked as a criminal justice officer for community corrections for four years while I...

  6. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    sanncmd replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I want to say that I found this thread through a posting from Allnurses.com onto Facebook. So perhaps something in the algorithm could use some work. :-)

  7. Overcoming new nurse jitters and feelings of inadequacy

    sanncmd replied to d_eRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    I can give a slightly different perspective, being only a few months further ahead than you are now. I graduated last December and I've been on the floor since January. Had a six-week preceptorship at that time. I remember feeling like I'd been hit b...

  8. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    sanncmd replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can think of at least two home health agencies in my area who are gunning hard for new grads. Not necessarily the case in all areas...that no agency would consider a new grad.

  9. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    sanncmd replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Um. That's a little fatalistic. First off, location matters A LOT when it comes to getting hired. Where I am, the employment rate post graduation is quite high (for those who pursue it). If you feel like you're bombing interviews, practice. Google fo...

  10. Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    We had admin try that with some CNAs where I used to work. Several of them reported admin to corporate (they have a corporate integrity line). One was placed on admin leave while they investigated (and I believe, asked to resign, though I left around...
