  1. Wearing masks

    AprilRNhere replied to CNAmonica65's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I guess I can see your point, though I do my best to make my patients feel like what I have to do for them does not gross me out. With the urine though- it shouldn't be sitting there for HOURS....if a...

  2. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    AprilRNhere replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't anything I've ever thought of. I mean..why is it offensive? If they require men to cover the chest hair, why not arm hair, beards etc...? Why is hair

  3. Information on nursing in MT?

    AprilRNhere posted a topic in General Nursing

    I read through this forum last night and didn't find much here that is recent. I'd like some general information on nursing in MT. My husband and I might be considering moving there (unsure of what...

  5. Now is this abandonment?

    AprilRNhere replied to stafll's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't think CNA's could "abandon" pt's as they are the nursing assistants. They don't technicaly assume responsibility for the pt's do

  6. Procedures for Admissions

    AprilRNhere replied to maestrotee's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a CNA in LTC I can't think of a time when we EVER accepted an admission that late. I think they set up appropriate times for them to come in. Good luck though in resolving your

  7. Any Red flags for a LTC NOT to tak the JOB

    AprilRNhere replied to worf's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Look up their last state inspection online. Take into consideration though that most states EVERY facility with have deficiencies- just look to see what they

  8. Would this offend you?

    AprilRNhere replied to mondkmondk's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I think it's very honest of them. If they took the child, knowing they couldn't handle it- then every mood swing that child has they'll wonder and blame on a possible illness. That wouldn't be healthy...

  9. Does this sound like "a little much" to you??

    AprilRNhere replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have them. It's a joke really. We usually forget and sign them at the end of the

    Yes

  13. Pregnant and Nursing.....

    AprilRNhere replied to NJNursing's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! You need to speak with your manager as soon as possible. Without having been there a full year- they dont have to keep your job for you at all during maternity leave- much less for 10 weeks....

  14. Nurses with tattoos?

    AprilRNhere replied to crunchymomx3's topic in General Nursing

    I love it- and honestly I love the whole sex kitten nurse thing as well. Growing up I always viewed most nurses as older, overweight, and crabby. I love that I can be young and sexy, and STILL be...

  15. May sound Repetative but...

    AprilRNhere replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It depends on where you want to live. Really- GA is VERY diversified when it comes to cost of living. I grew up in North GA, and moved away almost 7 years ago. I visited this past spring and looked...

  19. Less likely to get hired as a PREGNANT new grad?

    AprilRNhere replied to NICUplease's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They can't discriminate because you're pregnant- however- I don't think they have to hold your job while you're on maternity leave unless you've been an employee for 1 year. Also- something to think...

  20. As a new grad, expect to stay late?

    AprilRNhere replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    I just hit my 1 year mark- and RARELY have I stayed late. Maybe once a pay period 15 minutes or so- but neer 1-3 hours unless I was helping cover the next shift. I want to ditto what everyone else...

  21. Taber's or Mosby's

    AprilRNhere replied to piggysk's topic in General Students

    Wow- shocking results. I say Mosby's hands down! We were sold Taber's in our book packet- but my employment at the time had just purchased Mosby's...and I would wait until I was at work to do my...

  22. Most Humorous Call-In Excuses

    AprilRNhere replied to jeffrey_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job...luckily they don't even ask. We just call and say we're unable to come in. They claim it's a HIPAA violation to ask why...as then they're essentially asking what's wrong with you....

  23. crock shoes.

    AprilRNhere replied to korfila's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't like them because they're not comfortable to me...BUT- I don't understand what the deal is with the holes? If someone has tennis shoes with mesh portions- noone thinks anything about it. I...

  24. What did you do

    AprilRNhere replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I usually say something similar to this...if they insist they are too sick/hurt/etc to do their own cares (that I KNOW they're capable of)...I ask if they would like me to set up a meeting to arrange...

  25. Nurses Please Help

    AprilRNhere replied to dewberrysquish's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You have to be dedicated and a hard worker/studier to make it through nursing school. You have to WANT it. There will be MANY times you'll want to quit...if you don't really want it you won't make it....
