1. "Ew, I don't want to wipe butts all day"

   Arya526 replied to Arya526's topic in Technicians

   I know its partially the atmosphere my hospital has set. I find that one particular shift of nurses are AWESOME and treat me very well. But the other shifts seem to like to bombard me with every single little task. We've had people leave over it. I ...

2. "Ew, I don't want to wipe butts all day"

   Arya526 replied to Arya526's topic in Technicians

   Majority of nurses are not lazy. I even said that they get busy too. I have ALWAYS done my part to help them out as they have a lot on their plates. Even when they're not busy, I do my part and try not to bother them. However, there are nurses who do...

3. "Ew, I don't want to wipe butts all day"

   Arya526 replied to Arya526's topic in Technicians

   And I agree. I am not annoyed with the delegation. What I am annoyed with this whole "teamwork" thing includes the nurses stepping up and wiping a butt once in awhile. I as a PCT can only be in one place at once. If I am toileting a fall risk at the ...

4. "Ew, I don't want to wipe butts all day"

   Arya526 replied to Arya526's topic in Technicians

   yes and as a PCT I tend to have 2 to 3 times as many patients. If a patient needs to use the bathroom right now, coming to the other end of the floor while I am with a fall risk patient on the toilet to tell me that I need to toilet a patient is a li...

   Arya526 replied to Arya526's topic in Technicians

   Yeah it was pretty halarious! Theres nurses on the floor I'm a PCT on that will walk to the other side of the floor just to tell me that theres a patient who needs to use the bathroom..... when they just CAME FROM THAT ROOM! Then they get irritated w...

6. "Ew, I don't want to wipe butts all day"

   Arya526 posted a topic in Technicians

   So just a little funny scenario. I'm currently in nursing school. 2nd semester in an RN program. 3 weeks ago, I had a fellow student talk about how she wants to get a new job while in school. I had suggested becoming a PCT. I explained how it builds ...

7. Rant*I hope I'm never their patient

   Arya526 replied to xtina334's topic in General Students

   I have A students in my semester class that go to clinical and STILL don't know how to properly do basic care. Same students have no real-life critical thinking skills and just give textbook answers.

8. My Nursing school only has a 55% completion rate for the program

   Arya526 replied to Slim_Medic's topic in General Students

   To add on to this- It also depends on what data they're basing it off of. One school might be going off of NCLEX pass rate which my community college has a 98% passing rate. Another school might be advertising how many started vs. how many ended. I...

9. Seems like nursing school isn't for people with other responsibilities!

   Arya526 replied to marij's topic in General Students

   1,000 dollars for a book seems skeptical no offense. I can see 1,000 dollars for supplies for a semester, but not for just a book. However, most people in nursing school have these struggles. In my program, majority of us have jobs and/ or kids. Pl...

10. Seems like nursing school isn't for people with other responsibilities!

    Arya526 replied to marij's topic in General Students

    My first semester I paid 1,000 dollars for books alone. This semester more like 800.... and I still have another year! 1,000 dollar book does seem a little extreme though!

11. Clinical Instructors say the darndest things

    Arya526 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Students

    Alright, I completely understand the frustration. However, take a step back and think about why she said that. Many nursing students go into nursing forgetting about the number one priority: The patient! A good student is one who takes such criticis...

12. Studying and still can't make the grade

    Arya526 replied to mesimpson97's topic in General Students

    I am in my second semester and I had the same problem. I found that even though I was studying a lot of content and a lot of questions, my studying wasn't effective for learning. For example, when you study practice problems: 1. Identify priority (wh...

13. How do you wash your scrubs?

    Arya526 replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    I'm naughty (and cheap). I am trying to preserve the same uniform for all 4 semesters. I typically just wash in warm water with regular detergent. My scrubs are royal blue and I'm finishing up my 2nd semester. So far no fading or other issues. Anoth...

14. Sleep insomnia is affecting me

    Arya526 replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    I have had a history of insomnia. I highly suggest not having any screen time for at least 30 minutes before bed. this includes tv, phone, and computer. Those 30 minutes should be spent relaxing and getting your mind off of the day. I nice soothing b...

15. What unit do you work in?

    Arya526 replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Technicians

    I work on a Med/Surg floor that also does ortho surgeries as a Nursing Aide. We don't get to do vitals, and basically we do rounds every 2 hours, pass out snacks/ water, and basic care including positioning, toileting, and bathing. We also might occa...
