1. Defibrillation question

   Karla_isela replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

   When taking my BLS course we were instructed to remove the person's shirt and to even try to remove any hair on the person's chest if we could but who really has time to pull a razor and some shaving gel out at a time like that?

2. LPN working CNA shifts??

   Karla_isela replied to Julie1963's topic in LPN/LVN

   I would love to work at $20/hour. As a nursing assistant I only make $8-$12. The 12 is only after the extra bonuses (weekend, never late, uniform).

3. LPN working CNA shifts??

   Karla_isela replied to Julie1963's topic in LPN/LVN

   I agree wholeheartedly with BrandonLPN. However, I can also understand how frustrating it might feel to work as a CNA especially after working your butt off in becoming an LPN. It also sounds like you're spreading yourself thin. Maybe you should prio...

4. Nursing student mistake

   Karla_isela replied to jersey244's topic in Canada

   Forgive me, but I'm not American. And what does it matter? This is a forum for nurses. My first sentences were part in part questioning. The laws and policies that apply where I am at may not be the same in Canada but I was simply wondering if what I...

5. Nursing student mistake

   Karla_isela replied to jersey244's topic in Canada

   As a student RN and an STNA I would have to say I have never seen LPN's even touch an IV. Please correct me if I'm wrong but student LPN's aren't taught this skill unless they are becoming certified (it's optional and not a part of the LPN curriculum...

6. Nurses are the unsung heroes of the medical profession.

   Karla_isela replied to Brian's topic in Humor

   I'm currently a nursing student. When I first became an STNA I can honestly say it was because I wanted a job that paid better. After I learned more about what it really takes to be an aide I fell in love with the job and I was great with taking care...

7. Men in OB/Peds Nursing....Any thoughts?....

   Karla_isela replied to Wild Irish LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi! So nice to hear that someone else out there is as passionate about OB/Peds work as I am! :) I want to become a nurse-midwife, and honestly I would have no problem working with male nurses in that department. I have heard men are sometimes more ge...

9. I would like to interview a nurse for my Intro to Nursing Class

   Karla_isela replied to Karla_isela's topic in Student Assist

   Does anyone want to Skype me, maybe? We can set up a time today -- maybe later. I think it's Easter -- I don't really celebrate the eggs and bunny part so I'm not too busy today.

10. I would like to interview a nurse for my Intro to Nursing Class

    Karla_isela replied to Karla_isela's topic in Student Assist

    I couldn't agree more with what all of you have to say. For the most part my classmates interviewed nurses in person. My instructor seems kind but for what I can tell she is spread very thin. I think she helps manage the nursing department of the col...

    Thank you so much for your reply. May I ask your first name and title as a nurse. Thanks again for your time.

12. I would like to interview a nurse for my Intro to Nursing Class

    Karla_isela posted a topic in Student Assist

    Hello, everyone! My Intro to Nursing class assignment is a nurse interview paper. This class hasn't been the easiest for me or my classmates. The teacher failed just about the entire class (on this assignment) and this is my second attempt in writin...
