  1. Is working as a CNA beneficial?

    beachbum3 replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't worked as a CNA and am getting ready to graduate from an ADN program in May. I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage at all. As for finding a job being easier/harder- that has yet to be...

  2. I don't want to be a CNA anymore.

    beachbum3 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I get that you had no ill intentions. But here is the thing... you HAVE to learn to take criticism. What you were doing obviously wasn't working, so now its time to take a new approach. Coming up...

  3. The field of Nursing is wicked to CENAs..the ugly side no one talks about

    beachbum3 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is probably a blessing in disguise for you. That said, you mention that you keep getting fired from every job you get... that would be cause for me to take a moment of pause, be brutally...

  4. What I call a "hot mess"

    beachbum3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Me. Everyday in clinical I feel like such a mess- disorganized, frazzled, running to and fro and having several 'deer in the headlights-space cadet- brain cramp' moments. The only thing I've gained...

  5. What I call a "hot mess"

    beachbum3 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies. I'm feeling better now after some sleep. Yesterday was just one of those days where I felt like I couldn't get my head

  6. What I call a "hot mess"

    beachbum3 replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    SO and I are both from the south, and are the only people that I know that use it.

  7. Care Plan

    beachbum3 replied to smart girl's topic in General Nursing

    As a start I try to think "what does this look like" ie pt with asthma. Whats an asthma attack look like? Bronchoconstriction. Translate to nursg. dx: Ineffective airway clearance RT...

  8. how many nurses did not like being a CNA?

    beachbum3 replied to dari98's topic in General Nursing

    Its funny, I was just sitting here trying to think of an accurate detailed description of a RN's job. I can't. Its too broad, and there are always too many things I forget. THATS how much a RN does....

  9. how many nurses did not like being a CNA?

    beachbum3 replied to dari98's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, your statement that RNs do exactly what the CNAs are doing reflects your lack of understanding of the RNs job. RNs most certainly DO NOT do the exact same thing as a CNA. Yes,...

  10. Patients on Medicaid

    beachbum3 replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In that case I see your point. I also edited my first comment, as it was my knee jerk reaction to some of the posts I read- and I didn't read the entire thread. Like you said, everyone is entitled to...

  11. Patients on Medicaid

    beachbum3 replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Its no one's business but billing's how a pt's care is being paid for. As nurses you shouldn't even be looking at their insurance info. Shame on you.

  12. The Doctor said WHAT?

    beachbum3 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    HA! I'd have half a mind to go out of my way to find him when I need forms filled out. I can make any MDs life hell just as much as they can make mine. Reap what you sow, baby. I'm feeling...

  13. The Doctor said WHAT?

    beachbum3 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    All the more reason for her to be able to say something, IMO. She didn't interject herself until asked. Like I always, ALWAYS say: Don't ask if you don't want the answer. These docs need to get over...

  14. preparing to be one of them????????????

    beachbum3 replied to RN2B73's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear about your father's passing, and your grandmother's illness. As for your statements about slacking nurses... I'd suggest you be less judgemental and broaden your thinking about what it...

  15. Has being a nurse made you examine your own spirituality?

    beachbum3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking about this more lately as I am graduating soon, and learning more about death. I'm not a hugely religious person, I don't go to church, but am starting to feel like I need/want to...

  18. 12 hour shifts for students AND Med. school

    beachbum3 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think its in the teacher's hands to budge or not. In order to graduate you have to have a certain number of clinical hours- and if you are missing 2 hours each week over 2 months thats 16...

    beachbum3 replied to sissiesmama's topic in Psychiatric
