1. Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

   Shooting4RN replied to EmBeMap's topic in CNA/MA

   I can understand if they are in the actual bathroom. I was commenting on residents who are incontinent. You wouldn't want to walk someone to their bed with feces dropping off of their bottom. I agree with that. However if the resident is incontinen...

2. Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

   Shooting4RN replied to EmBeMap's topic in CNA/MA

   I think changing a brief and doing peri care while the resident is standing is inappropriate. I have seen two cnas with a res's arm draped around the shoulders while one wipes...... It's sad. They need their dignity, most of of them have lost so much...

   I just re-read my last post and want to say that I didn't mean it to sound rude, I guess it's just the way it came out.

5. immature but true

   Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in CNA/MA

   Well, I am 25 so I don't really consider myself "young" lol I feel like I am around 90 some days. I hope you aren't assuming that I am going to be unprofessional because I am nervous (or young). From what I am reading, there are a lot of people who ...

   I am starting a CNA job soon for a nursing home (they are paying for my certification), and I am VERY nervous. When I walked into the place I was SO scared (just to have my interview.) I know that these are just people like everyone else,and I DO wan...

   Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in General Nursing

   wow lol you guys get to deal with some pretty gross stuff! I know its not something I should be worrying about, it just makes me feel a little better to know that SOME things get easier to handle

8. any weak stomachs?

   Shooting4RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all. I am a PRE- nursing student with *another question* :) Did any of you nurses have weak stomachs? I didn't really have one before I had my 2 little girls. I could watch/see/smell anything (except look at spiders, I have arachnophobia) and not...

9. Question about clinicals

   Shooting4RN posted a topic in General Students

   Exactly how does the clinical process work? Does your school pick the hospital and the area that you work in? (I'm a pre-nursing student)...just curious.... :)

    Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not sure what to do yet because I don't think dropping the class at this point is an option.And you are SO right about him. It was like he was warning us not to go to the dean. Now I know why he wont allow tape recorders in the class.

11. Sexist English Teacher

    Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Actually he said it in front of the whole class. He also went into a rip about how he has only been in the boss' office once for a complaint from a male student (who he said is a mommas boy). He then said he can't count how many times he has been in ...

    Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree. I had his class today and he explained his grading system. if you look like an A student then he does everything he can to help you keep your A. If you look like a B student you will be keeping your B. If you look like a failing student you ...

13. doctor/nurse relationship

    Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in General Nursing

    wow thanks for all the replies! I think that I will be ok. For some reason I have always had this schtick in my head that the doctor fires the nurse for "talking back" lol. Silly, I know.

14. What does the test entail?

    Shooting4RN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    ok I know the basics of algerbra *phew* and by the time I apply I will have had at least 1 chem course (scary)..... Thanks :)

15. doctor/nurse relationship

    Shooting4RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all. I am a mere pre-nursing student...lol but thought I would slip in and ask some of you experienced nurses a question. What is a doctor/nurse relationship like? I have a sister who works in the hospital ER and she says the doctors yell at the ...
