As a male, and as a nurse, I can tell you that this situation would make me entirely uncomfortable. I’m with you about feeling wired about the male nurse doing all that rubbing, barehanded,...
I know exactly how you feel. I’ve only done agency once, and only worked for about 4 days. I hated it. I felt so inadequate, and every facility does things different, so it’s hard to fulfil your...
I’ve been a nurse for two years, always wanted to work in a hospital but in the area I live in no hospitals use LPN’s anymore. So I was basically stuck with choosing between a clinic or a...
I'm thinking of finishing my RN up via the internet through the college network. I actually have a cousin who did it, and she passed her RN NCLEX the first time, so I'm really interested in this. I...
I’m posting this message in an attempt to answer a question for my younger brother (he’s 18, high school senior.) He’s currently enrolled in a CNA course offered through the local High School....

I have no intentions of reporting this lady, as I cannot afford to get kicked out of my apt, and I absolutely refuse to live in on-campus housing. LoL. I was just really curious as to how this...
I HIGHLY doubt that there is. CNA is pretty much hands on in the clinical environment, and you’ll need to do procedures in front of your instructor and be checked off on them in order to even be...
I had applied to two different schools when I first decided I wanted to be an lpn; first school was 3600, and the school I ended up going to was 4500 (this was a private institution, they didn’t...
My grandmother was actually grand fathered in, but it took 4 years (4 years for what it took me 11 months to obtain!!! lol) This was in the late 50's, and from my understanding there was a huge...
cant_not replied to nursejessica2013's topic in General Nursing
ahhh... I hate to out-right say this, but if you ever work in LTC you’ll see nurses do this a lol (if she actually did fake the vitals) I wouldn’t recommend it, I’m no ‘whistle-blower’ but...
