  1. considering quiting current new case

    matcha-cat replied to undefeated-lvn's topic in Private Duty

    How is it consistent? Are you talking about how she's smiley with OP and then probably talks behind her back? A lot of people are sneaky, as well; all I have to do is think back to high school...

  2. considering quiting current new case

    matcha-cat replied to undefeated-lvn's topic in Private Duty

    I feel like I hear people use this way too much for any person who has a bad attitude, particularly on this

  3. Why is A&P so hard?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    Haha, thanks for all of the information! That makes me feel a bit better. I tend to be better at understanding the "idea" versus memorizing names/locations/numbers, but that shouldn't be too hard so...

  4. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    matcha-cat replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    Perhaps not when she's drugged up and at risk of falling asleep and suffocating her

  5. Taking Chemistry and Biology at the same time?

    matcha-cat posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I'm wondering if taking biology and chemistry at the same time is extremely difficult? I know these are both reading/study-intensive courses, but I wonder if it's completely doable to take them...

  6. Taking Chemistry and Biology at the same time?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    Not anymore, no. I wanted to start working again so I could start saving money, and then, mostly, to gain experience. I guess this might be a difficult question to answer for people who don't really...

  7. Should I work weekends during nursing school?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your input. I think that's probably the best route- wait until after I start my 1st semester of school so I can gage how my own studying and learning abilities will

  8. I'm not "intelligent." Do I have any business being a nurse (and other questions)?

    matcha-cat replied to The_Muffintime's topic in General Students

    Perhaps you won't want to hear this, I don't mean to be "patronizing", but I do think you sound intelligent. Like others have said, you have excellent communication skills, and although you're quick...

  9. 2nd tb test is freaking me out

    matcha-cat replied to MsLori615's topic in General Nursing

    I had to take the 2-step TB test, as well, but I wonder why the results didn't show on the first test? I guess that's why they make you take it twice, but still, I understand why it wouldn't show...

  10. How To Recover From Near Rock Bottom...

    matcha-cat replied to Snowana's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Katie, do you mind telling me what your "communication quirks" are? My personality is one where I'm very quiet and serious, and when I do speak, I speak analytically about a situation because...

  11. Hospital VS Nursing Home- which is harder for a CNA?

    matcha-cat posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know both jobs are very difficult, but in my CNA course, our primary area of study is in nursing homes and that's where I've been having my clinicals. Consequently, I don't know much about the daily...

  12. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

    matcha-cat replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you brought up the fact that had there been a camera filming in the room she was sleeping in, they would've accessed the tapes to see that she was sleeping. Besides, what was OP to do? She...

  13. I SAW HIM! - Near Death Experiences

    matcha-cat replied to spotangel's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I don't think she can rightly say that she ALWAYS, 100% of the time, knows when her patient is comfortable with talking about their NDE. It's selfish to think and assert that you can, when it could...

  14. Pregnant and new job

    matcha-cat replied to R5RN's topic in General Nursing

    Right? I read somewhere that the nursing position is 90% women, and like somebody else said, when you're hiring lots of young women, babies are going to happen. Are women not allowed to have babies...

  15. Failure to success!

    matcha-cat replied to alieu4's topic in General Students

    I've pretty much been a lifelong, bad student. I was always day-dreaming, like I couldn't focus for more than a few minutes before I would unknowingly be in dreamland and would discover that 15...

  16. Got a nurse aide fired... did I do the right thing?

    matcha-cat replied to Live.Love.Nurse.♡'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand the comments that are against taking a photo of her while sleeping? OP already reported multiple times that she was slacking off on the job. It's common sense that you don't sleep...

  17. Hs senior in need of advice please!

    matcha-cat replied to MelaneyL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This might interest you- many colleges offer RN to BSN options. My current community college and the one I'm transferring to (in a different state) both have options that allow you to get your RN at...

  18. Violence in Nursing

    matcha-cat replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Dang, quick

  19. I SAW HIM! - Near Death Experiences

    matcha-cat replied to spotangel's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    @macawake Yeah, this whole article seems pretty messed up to me... When I first started reading it, I thought maybe it was fake, like a fable. The story is told to express an idea. But realizing that...

  20. Inappropriate CNA behavior?

    matcha-cat posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, so I just had my first clinical this past Saturday, and the CNA that my partner and I were shadowing had some unsettling behaviors... I've read a few posts that were similar to this one, and a lot...

  21. Inappropriate CNA behavior?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how you'll feel about this, but when I talked to my instructor, she seemed genuinely concerned, she really wanted to hear what I had to say and she took out pen and paper and noted it...

  22. Inappropriate CNA behavior?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you lol, I didn't ignore the situation. I literally reported it as soon as I could. My partner did nothing, and I wonder if half the people on here saying "I would've confronted right then and...

  23. Inappropriate CNA behavior?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    I probably should've made some sort of comment to the CNA, but for the most part I was just confused, like "Is this really happening?" because it started 5 minutes into my first time in a clinical...

  24. Inappropriate CNA behavior?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I reported it

  25. Inappropriate CNA behavior?

    matcha-cat replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't give a facility a bad name, in fact, multiple times I said that the rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful and were checking on the residents and taking their time with them. I also...
