1. Scabies Question

   roses4mom replied to ImAStudent06's topic in CNA/MA

   Hello I've read through most of the threads on this subject and it seems that some facilities had the problem and took care of it and are OK. Ohter facilities still had the problem. Maybe it would be a good idea to speak to other people (besides nur...

2. Would You Pray if your Patient asked?

   roses4mom replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think it is an honor to know that a pt. would ask his/her nurse to pray with them because that nurse must be doing one heck of a good job for them to feel comfortable enough to ask them to pray with them. I think it is an extraordinary compliment ...

5. differences through the decades

   roses4mom replied to colrainrn's topic in General Nursing

   I think we should go back to wearing hats! Yes, hats! I'm thinking about going to CNA school and noticed that a lot of the "old days" pictures show nurses wearing hats as part of their uniform. I wonder if this was a fashion statement (can youtell...

6. Why Can't Hospitals Offer Shifts Other Than 12 hr. 7 to 7?

   roses4mom replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not a nurse yet, but if you really think about all the stress that nurses are under to begin with, adding more hours to a day hardly seems to help matters. Just my opinion from a stressed out point of view.

7. "Smart cards" coming soon to a hospital near you

   roses4mom replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think it's a little risky, especially with all the identity theft going on these days. I would think again.

8. The Frustrated Learner Thread aka "I HATE studying MORE THAN ___!" All rants welcome!

   roses4mom replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't htink anyone likes to study something that is not directly related to what they want to do when they get out of their pre-req's stage. Just try to remember how it WILL pay off some day, all of the hard work, studying, crying, screaming, and w...

9. Leaving the Profession!

   roses4mom replied to chrispicritah's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, you've said a lot but it sounds like you've been through a lot with your profession, and I wish you much luck in doing something you enjoy and are passionate about! I am taking prereq's and hear the things you mentioned all the time (from nurse...

10. Wearing scrubs home??

    roses4mom replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's imperative to be very very careful with regard to wearing scrubs home, whether the house is empty or not makes no difference. With everything from the bird flu coming our way to scabies (extremely contageous and prevalent in nursing hom...

11. help... nursing regrets

    roses4mom replied to itiswhatitis's topic in General Nursing

    I think nursing is just one of those really high-stress fields all-around and a lot of those nurses may be overworked and understaffed. I'm not a nurse yet (taking prereq's) but I actually hear a lot about the negative parts to nursing. It's not an...

12. need your advice before I quit nursing?

    roses4mom replied to RNcool's topic in General Nursing

    I do hear so many nurses saying that they want or need to find their niche in nursing. There are so many avenues, I would encourage you not to give up on finding your particular niche/nest. There's no other career like this in the world.:)

13. I am soooo excited!!!

14. Rant-I was called 'unprofessional'

    roses4mom replied to oxyjen's topic in Relations

    I agree, to say 'unprofessional' in front of 3 other students, isn't that in itself being unprofessional. Still, I think there's a hidden issue with her and her sister, at least that's what it sounds like. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound o...

15. claiming to be what she isn't

    roses4mom replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this conversation brings to mind a math teacher who told us (not verbatim) If you're going to school to be a chemist, start acting like a chemist NOW, TODAY. If you're going to school to be a nurse, start acting like a nurse NOW, etc...So mayb...
