   JoeyDog replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

   Okay I know a lot of people have given you good advice, here are my two cents. BTW, I smoked for 6 years, all the lectures in the world didn't help me, it came down to a sheer desire to quite for my own personal reasons. You have to decide what is...

    JoeyDog replied to Ready2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have worked as both a CNA and a unit secretary. They both have their benefits. As a unit secretary you will become familiar with the charts and MARS. As a CNA you will become comfortable interacting with patients and staff. Personally my sugges...

11. Hilton Head Hospital uniforms

    JoeyDog replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet but I think this is a really dumb idea! Here is my suggestion, rather than color coding the departments why not institute a mandate that says ONLY nurses, CNA's, RT's ect can wear scrubs. At the hospitals I worked at everyone ...

    JoeyDog replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You will be fine! As previously stated this is not an uncommon situation. If there are enough people enrolled in your class (to make a full or almost full class) they will find an instructor. The only time I have ever seen classes cancelled at my ...
