    Beary-nice replied to wasted-enough-time's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Beary-nice replied to birthmamaew's topic in Post Graduate Students

  6. Labcoat?

    Beary-nice replied to diagnose's topic in General Nursing

  9. Delegating bedmaking, bedpans . . .

    Beary-nice replied to pancake's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Triage about using those types of tasks as an assessment tool. Very valuable as are CNAs. I, myself, need to do more delegating than what I do at times. I am someone who doesn't feel...

  10. As a patient, do you disclose your qualifications?

    Beary-nice replied to lisalau's topic in General Nursing

    Nope...I don't tell them unless they pose the question. I do not want to be treated any differently like staff walking on eggshells and adding to their stress. And, I don't want them to assume I...

  12. Grade went from an A to a C over 3 classes!!!!!!!!!

    Beary-nice replied to FoxyRoxy21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't blame you for being mad, however, there are many professors that base grades on attendance as well as work. I noticed this when I went to a state college in my area. It is evidently...

    Beary-nice replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Triage, You can tend to me anytime! Holy Cow! If anything you have stamped a reminder on my brain to assess, assess and reassess! I can relate to situations with post op pts not being medicated...

    Beary-nice replied to Kiren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, I think every little bit helps. I am fortunate enough to have had multiple experiences in all different settings over the last 17 years, but it certainly doesn't mean I know it all. If anything,...

  17. What happens if someone codes?

    Beary-nice replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I worked in LTC, our "Code cart" consisted of a basket with a face mask, a BP cuff, a stethoscope, and oh there was a board close by on the wall for compressions at the nurses station. Any...

  20. Dissapearing Aids... the norm?

    Beary-nice replied to APP's topic in General Nursing

    I would say this is not typical. My thing is that I have worked with CNAs that know exactly what their job is and they are very, very good at it and need little direction and then there are others...

    Beary-nice replied to Titiana's topic in General Nursing

  24. When Did Your Hospital Stop Requiring Caps?

    Beary-nice replied to Nurse1962's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, I don't own a cap anymore. :uhoh21: Should have held onto one of my two...oh well live and learn. It had like an ice-blue colored stripe on it. I thought it was

  25. When Did Your Hospital Stop Requiring Caps?

    Beary-nice replied to Nurse1962's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated in 1989 from nursing school. I remember we voted to either have a capping ceremony or not and to wear our caps for our graduation pics or not. I wore mine all of the time at work for...
