At the shower I threw for my cousin, we played the bubblegum baby game. Each person was given a piece of pink bubblicious gum and told to mold a baby out of it. It was a crack up! We also played the name game, where we took the mother and father's ...

well here goes.... i just got my cna in june. i currently work as a receptionist and my job is very boring. i sit in front of my computer all day and answer the phone. while i feel trapped by this job because of the boredom, i love my boss. she is aw...

I totally feel ya! I had a HORRIBLE Physio instructor. I ended up dropping mid semester for a major reason being his/her bad attitude. Like your instructor, he/she thought that they were teaching at Stanford or something, not our local JC! My instru...

bethin~ i will study, i promise! :studyowl: the written part of the exam was pretty easy! our tests in class were the same type of questions (same wording and multiple choice) as the ones on the exam. the only hard part was the skills. i was nervous...

well i am kinda torn right now. i have a great job here in ca. right now, i am a receptionist for a huge ranching operation in ca and my boss is great, very flexible with my school schedule and i get benefits. so i am still trying to figure out what ...

Susan~ I live in California too. I will be finishing up my CNA class in about 3 weeks! At our community college here there are two programs- one is 6 weeks but clincal is monday-friday for 8 hrs. a day. The second is one semester long but we have lec...

Well here in California at my college we have to wear all white scrubs. Our instructor goes with us to clinical but we are partnered up to one CNA and go on her rounds with her. Our instructor would come around and check on us and we could call her i...

Last year I had a meeting with the Rn over the Nursing Dept. at my College to ask about what steps I had left to complete. She was really nice, but this part is what got me...she said"you know you are really young to be here I mean the majority of th...

Don't worry about BP :) When my class first started working on that I had the hardest time! I couldn't hear anything! I bought my own cuff and steth and practiced at home, it helped! I finally realized that even if you can't hear the heart beat right...

Ok, not sure where to put this question, so please bear with me if it is in the wrong section. I just kinda want to see everyones opinion about this situation. I am not in Nursing School yet but I am finishing up my pre-reqs for that and will have my...

Daisy~ I think I will also learn a lot once I get to nursing school! Thanks for your input! That makes me feel better about things. I don't think I will agree with some matters still, but that's ok I can ask a co-worker to help me out. As far as th...

LOL Tazzi! I really appreciate you opening my eyes! I am glad you took it another way! :roll

ICU-20 We disagree on everything. I am not trying to be harsh but I know you can sit there all day and write there is no hope, they won't recover, that your "medical experience" (which I know you didn't write but you do have lots of years exp.) prov...

Yes, this helps and is more clear..lol took me long enough! What I meant was I personally beleive (not trying to force my beliefs on anyone here) is that no matter how many doctors say this person is dead that there is a chance G-d will let them live...

Oh Contraire, I beleive they can go hand in hand when the stipulations are followed. My example was I only want my organs taken if I am dead from being involved in a car accident. I am talking an accident where I am pronounced DOA. (Which this just ...

Interesting... I had never known this or thought about this. Maybe I should change my mind on organ donations. Is it possible for one to choose(like myself) to be an organ donor with stipulations? If I was ever on a ventilator obviously I would not w...

Hmmmm.. I am not following you. Of course you can use a person's organs if they die, regaurdless of how. They can airlift a heart to the recipient from a donor who just died say in a car accident. They can keep the heart pumping with a machine or put...

Morning Tazzi! I am an organ donor myself. I have the little pink sticker on my driver's liscense. When I am dead and gone I won't need those organs so if someone who is dying can use them because we are a match then that's awesome!:loveya: On ano...

ICU-20 Very interesting thoughts. I had never really looked at technology as a means of prolonging life but now that you have mentioned it, that is true. I would never force my beliefs on a patient or the patient's family because obviously that woul...

Thank I really value all of your guys in put. As far as me not being able to talk about it with the family, there is no problem there I could talk to them about it. I was just talking about the physical act of removing/ stopping whatever care was bei...
