i work in ohio and our aides do all of the fsbs

night shift on my floor we have never had a cna past 10pm for as long as i've worked there. i wipe every one of my patients butts if need be

better!

i don't think i could ever teach nursing because all i would want to do the whole time is tell my students the truth about how pointless the nursing dx are

in the cincinnati area my mom who has a masters degree in education and has worked at the same catholic elementary school for 16 years only makes $32,000. pretty crappy

a 80 something year old women that had 8 children- most at home- had a prolapsed uterus that she had lived with for at least 30-40 years. basically looked like a large skin covered cantaloupe hanging out of her!

what about the diseases that are a result of choices?

smegma= member cheese always hated the word sputum

sounds crazy. i put white tape over my last name on my badge just so no one can look me up... you never know now a days

oh no she didn't just tell a dying pt at least you have your health different student (300+ lbs) oh no she didn't just do a bootey dance in a pts room oh no that sitter who is at least 100 lbs more than me didn't just poke my stomach and ask are you pregnant!!

this happened to me as a student, as a pca, and now as a rn. some people just suck.

my first patient was a 21 year old male with full blown AIDS that didn't even go from HIV+ to AIDS but was diagnosed the first time with AIDS. very sad. luckily i had a partner the very first clinical and she was a chatterbox and older so very comfortable talking to patients. i got off easy... i let her do all the talking!

we have one tech on our 24 bed unit and are lucky if she does the 5 baths she is assigned, that leaves 3 out of four patients for the nurses to clean up. wish we could get another tech...

help me obi wan kanobi you're my "only hope"

WHAT??????????

might help you remember if you quit smoking the bong!

i went into school with no previous knowledge of medical terminology and i did just fine!!! enjoy your last summer before the you know what hits the fan!!!

most of my patients are on ten or more medications a day, but usually only one of these will be a multivitamin. most are medications for arrhythmias, htn, high cholesterol, and don't forget the 0600 nexium that EVERYONE seems to be on!

never use nitro paste as a rash cream

once with 75 questions... 4 days ago! thank god its over

out of all my clinicals we only gave a gift to two instructors because they were exceptionally good instructors. it was never an expected thing and i never really thought of it as inappropriate.

sounds like a personality disorder... STAY AWAY!!!!

I graduated in December 2006 and got a $1000 sign on bonus plus $12,000 for a 2 year night shift commitment... pretty sweet!

this is just a guess but... since neurosis is a very old-school term in psychology refering to being overly nervous/anxious (think of someone you would call neurotic) i would say intern neurosis is the anxious nature of an intern... too simple? maybe but sometimes you just have to guess good luck!

In my opinion mental illnesses are DISEASES... they are treated with medication, they are genetic in nature, and they affect millions, just like cancer, just like heart disease. No one ever chooses to be schizophrenic or bipolar or OCD or addicted... it just happens. Addiction runs in my family on my paternal side (along with CA and CVD- triple whammy!) and I have seen its devastating effects... i don't think anyone in their right mind would ever make the choice to waste their life drinking or snorting or shooting up. i think it is a disease process that creeps up on someone over time just like so many long term illnesses do.
