  1. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Girl here. I wouldn't have a problem with a male nurse performing intimate care as long as they were kind and respectful. Part of me prefers it because the male nurses I have seen are all very warm. I...
  2. Question for nurses with cancer

    I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad you are getting a second
  3. I'm thinking about becoming an LPN and then becoming an RN through Brookdale. I see in the booklet I need Psych 106 (have it) and would also need Bio 111 (don't but will try and knock out this summer)...
  4. Any LPN Go To Brookdale To Complete Their RN?!

    Thanks Sunny. I'm going to call them and try and get some info. I'm going to try and knock out API over the summer in a 10 week course. I'd rather be tortured for 10 weeks than 16 weeks
  5. I would call and ask for feedback. There is nothing wrong with that. You can ask if they have suggestions, advice, etc. You can inquire about a bad reference as well. They may or may not be...
  6. Is Chemistry really needed?

    I needed high school chemistry with a C or better as a pre-req. I don't need college level chemistry for my program so I am not taking it. I have heard that they do cover some basic chemistry in API....
  7. I'm a Clinical Informatics Specialist!

    Congrats!! That sounds like a really interesting job. Nice that you can merge your two worlds into
  8. Did I do the wrong thing?

    Be grateful she let you go. You did nothing wrong. She wants a maid, cook, and driver not medical assistance. She as well as your agency could get in big trouble for this as has already been pointed...
  9. Not getting paid when I call off...

    A medical environment that offers no sick pay. Lovely. Just when you thought you've heard it all. I didn't even know that was legal for full-time employees. Maybe I live in a bubble.
  10. Recruiter will not let me interview (long)

    Sounds like you were the victim of a power hungry HR person. Better off moving on. Think of them as having done you a favor. You can take your experience and hard work
  11. Not getting paid when I call off...

    That seems fair. If you didn't know and it wasn't part of your initial contract then they need to tell you about the change before making it policy. At least one would like to think so. I would put up...
  12. Supporting charities through work

    Definitely crosses the line. You shouldn't be required to give money unless you see fit to do so. My guess is the majority will just ignore the request and rightfully so. I don't think you should even...
  13. Supporting charities through work

    That's awesome.
  14. has anyone had to challenge courses

    At Brookdale API, II and Mico all need to be within the last 8 years. Nursing classes must be taken within 4 years. All other classes don't expire. You can try and CLEP out of the classes, but be sure...
  15. Middlesex County Vo tech LPN program

    What's their number and website?! I will look into it tomorrow for you. Also. did you call the school you would like to transfer to and ask them if they take their courses?! That would probably be...
  16. Microbiology Online Course

    Be sure to check and see if your school will accept this class online. Neither of the schools by me will allow us to take API, II or Micro online. They feel the labs are insufficient even thought the...
  17. How would you handle this, VERY lazy CNA!

    I would report her. It's terrible that this poor woman's genital care was neglected. And it's very unprofessional and inappropriate for her to lie to you about it. I'm glad the patient has you looking...
  18. Medical Assisting

    I thought this thread was new. I need to start looking at the
  19. 50 out of 100 Nursing students failed program

    I do. We can't start the actual program until we copmplete a HHA or CNA course in addition to API. We also have to pass APII and Microbiology, but that can be done when in
  20. Would parenting classes help a confused stepmom?!

    Does the mother still have visitation with the children?! It doesn't sound like she can take care of herself let alone two children. This could perhaps be addressed with the courts ASAP if it hasn't...
  21. Medical Assisting

    I am sorry to see you leave the site. I don't think anyone was trying to make you feel bad. They did however want to clarify the scope of your job and why you aren't considered a nurse. I'm sure you...
  22. Would parenting classes help a confused stepmom?!

    Perhaps you read that right and I hope you did. It appeared that they would leave after he was placed, but I agree however with your assessment. I am hoping they aren't planning on giving over custody...
  23. Would parenting classes help a confused stepmom?!

    I read it thast way as well and hope I am wrong. He's an angry 15 year old with a mother who is an addict. He is taking his anger out on the wrong people because he is in pain. He's still a child. Get...
  24. Your Not Gonna Believe This!!

    I would report it immediately. Chances are she will probably will retaliate against you either way so I would do what's right and let the powers to be know about it
  25. i have applied to two schools. one school will take online courses w/ labs as long as the school is accredited. the other school told me that even though the paperwork i sent them looked good that:...
