    natrgrrl replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    All staff at our LTC wear the same uniform. Black pants and issued royal blue snap front scrub top. I don't like it because PT, nurses, techs all look

  2. What did u buy your first year of nursing?

    natrgrrl replied to rn2bn07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The first thing I HAVE to do is get the bills paid. It will be so nice to pay all the bills every month AND be able to get groceries. The thing that has been the most fun for my hubby and I to think...

  3. Peace Corps

    natrgrrl replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

  4. surgical errors

    natrgrrl replied to 1964nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The best advice I can offer is to use a specialty search engine like google scholar, http://scholar.google.com/ Amazon is a good place to find a print reference. If you can't find or get the book in...

    natrgrrl replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    natrgrrl posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just started my first CNA job. There were 3 other new CNAs starting today. Today was my fourth day of orientation. I overheard some of the other CNAs jokingly placing bets on how long "that girl"...

  10. Will I last?

    natrgrrl replied to natrgrrl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks for the support! I needed to hear it. Today is my last day of orientation. Maybe when I get on my own and actually have to figure out how to get through the day things will be better. That is...

  11. CNA Pay/Other ?'s

    natrgrrl replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just started my first CNA job, making $9.50 for weekend days, 8 hr shifts. Other places pay more but I chose this LTC/Rehab facility because so many people actually get to go home from there so I...

    natrgrrl replied to jbjints's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. I just took the TEAS

    natrgrrl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone, I just took my TEAS test yesterday. For the last few months I have been trying to find info about the test so I bet some other people want to know about it, too. Here are my thoughts. I...

    Actually, my score popped up on the screen as soon as I submitted the test. I got a 90%, which I am very happy with. Thanks for asking. I don't really know how to interpret my scores, though. I have a...

  16. Pre-nursing student... What's your job??

    natrgrrl replied to peacelovestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Question on laptop

    natrgrrl replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing to know is that while the bigger screen might be helpful in some ways, it probably won't make up for it in weight. I got a Gateway that was 2 inches larger than I wanted because it was on...

  19. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    natrgrrl replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    The hostility between vaxers and nonvaxers is incredible. Be nice to each other. Stop generalizing. It's great that you have an opinion but just because you think you are more informed doesn't make...

  20. My job has no meaning

    natrgrrl replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Would it do any good to stand up for yourself? Maybe? I'm sorry you're feeling so down. If it makes you feel any better, other educated hospital staff get similar treatment sometimes. My husband (BS...
