Because in the world we live in today... where online chat rooms, emails, text messages, and IMing has taken the place of real face to face conversations... we tend to lose something within ourselves that makes us humble, forgiving, and thoughtful hu...

Well said. I agree about the family and friends too. I think there are more people out there who respect and appreciate nurses than people are giving them credit for.

Oh my... :uhoh21:

Hey all, I am working at a hospital right now and I have a question about isolation patients. (I haven't started NS yet so I don't know a lot about this and when I was trained in, nothing was said to me other than "wash your hands and put on a gown"...

Hey all... it's been a while since I've posted on here. I've taken a little break from going to school for a while, and I finally think I'm ready to go back to it. However, one of the requirements for applying to NS is that my NA cert has to be up ...

Thank you! Great idea about YouTube! I never thought of that! I still have my textbook so I'm going to go through that, but I'd love to see someone make a bed with a patient in it again... I just can't remember all those little steps. Thanks again ...

Thank you so much for this information! I didn't know that. They do have a posted sign on the hand sanitizer that hangs outside the room that says you need to wash with soap and water, but I didn't know why. Can I ask why sanitizer doesn't work wi...

Thank you so much! I've been extremely worried about this. I am very careful about keeping my hands and the stuff I have with me clean (especially between patients). I really appreciate your answer. Thanks again!

Thank you. I'm in Minnesota and you actually can work as a CNA if you just pass the test (even without taking the course and clinicals). I just don't see how you could pass it without it though (especially the skills portion... since it's so partic...

I just turned 36. There is no way I could have handled any of this when I was 20 yrs old. I didn't have my priorities straight back then. I'm still nervous about it now, but I'm more confident in my abilities and I know I'm much more mature now as...

Hey all.... I'm going to be taking my CNA course this summer as part of my requirements for applying to Nursing School. The class is 5 weeks long, M-Th from 8am-2pm. I've heard that it is fairly easy... I'm just wondering what the course is like.....

Hey everyone. I hope you are all having a good week so far. I just have a question.. more so out of curiousity than anything. I've had some fairly painful chest pains since early July. I thought that I had pulled something (by doing cartwheels, y...

I will never go back to a chiropractor again! I know this started from an adjustment he did. "Mild trauma to the chest". I did nothing other than those visits to cause this. Now there is nothing I can do to make the inflammation go away. It hurt...

I know! It will probably be over 100.00 for her to come in and tell me something that I could have guessed myself. I called hoping to just get some information and reassurance from the nurse as to what it could be... but when she heard "chest pain"...

I took Anatomy and Phys prior to Chem... but since then, our school has changed the requirements and you must take Chem before you can take A&P. There are some things you learn in Chemistry that really are helpful as far as Phys is concerned. ...

My thoughts are with you and your family. Take care...

Yesterday was the Morrison's "official" due date. The last surviving baby is said to be doing well and possibly will be coming home soon! I thought you all would like to know! Really great news! If you scroll down on the second website, the photog...

I'm asking this because I seriously have no clue... When you discharge a patient (in ER for abdominal pain, could not figure out what was wrong, gave Morphine for a few hours then released)... Is it okay to just say... "Ok, you can get dressed and go...

Yes, everything was completed. However, the patient was a little goofy from the morphine. So I was curious. Thanks again.

I'm just curious if those of you who have nurse-to-patient contact... Do you shower when you get home from work?? I'm kind of a freak when it comes to showering... I have to shower in the morning and then before bed each night... So I know once I sta...

I had a breast reduction about 1 1/2 yrs ago. If you have any questions... you can PM me. It was the greatest thing I've ever done. I only wish I would have done it years ago (I'm 34)... and my boobies look AWESOME!

Hello everyone. I hope you are having a good week so far. I have a question for you and I'm hoping you can help me out. I have complete 4/5 of my pre-reqs required for the ADN program at my local CC. I had to drop the final "5th" pre-req last Jan....

Oh, thank you so much. I know in my heart, that is what I want to do. But I feel like I'm just so scared to do it. I hope to some day go on and become an NP... I just worry about taking that first step. Thanks again. Your advice is really apprec...

Hey there. I can't tell you what you should do, but I thought I might be able to tell you what works for us. First of all, my husband is totally generous with our money and if I need something (larger than normal), if we can afford it, he will give i...

I just wanted to add, Tampax has a new tampon "size" out called Ultra. It is for flows heavier than the Super Plus. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to next time. I'm not sure what my problem is, but on day's 2 or 3, I can bleed through a Supe...
