    waterlily777 replied to turquoisefire's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    waterlily777 replied to NiteQwill's topic in California Nursing

    Congratulations! So, what did you say as far as "why I should work in ED/ER", if you don't mind me asking... Also, what were the points on your resume that you feel helped you be ahead of the...

  13. Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

    waterlily777 replied to skybmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, and last night when I answered a call light, the pt. asked to be moved up the bed to be more comfortable, so I went to get my fellow CNA to help. When I came back and we were done settling...

  14. Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

    waterlily777 replied to skybmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for such a candid question. I just got hired as CNA two months ago, in the middle of the hard economic times and with no previous experience. Where there's a (God's) will, there's a way......

  16. Help for medical Arabic?

    waterlily777 replied to murphyle's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there, Other than telling you to check out your local community college &/or university for Arabic classes, or maybe getting started with the software Rosetta Stone, I won't be of much help,...

  17. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    waterlily777 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Pardon my ignorance, but is there ever a time when the triage nurse/doc can just inform the patients that their situation is not an emergency, and to get their butts to their PCP or clinic? Also...

  19. Is this appropriate job hunting strategy?

    waterlily777 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Here's the scenario: I got my CNA certificate this past August, have been seeking employment since then with no success, so I started volunteering at a local hospital to get my foot in the door any...

  20. Dream job--Bad timing--Take it or leave it?

    waterlily777 replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Take the job! Of course I'm biased because I've been looking for work for two months now; but like other posters said, when the time comes your job will be understanding, or they won't, either way...

  21. Reason for leaving to become stay at home mom

    waterlily777 replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

  23. Treating the Muslim patient

    waterlily777 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    A little bit off topic, but I have to say this... Just so everyone knows: female genital mutilation is NOT an Islamic practice. It is a tribal practice that started well before the arrival of Islam...

  24. Treating the Muslim patient

    waterlily777 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    to rttobern: no need for head bashing against a wall... :-) RedCell's response makes a lot sense too. He/she is just there to do his job and if some patients refuse his care, he'll go on to benefit...

  25. Treating the Muslim patient

    waterlily777 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing
