  1. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sometimes docs can't even inject botox correctly. I have a friend who is a legal nurse consultant. She worked on a case where a doc was trying to inject botox around a woman's eye to smooth her crow's...

  2. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Using the term "nurse" when you are not one is more than bothersome- it's illegal. This MA was committing a

    When you are cleaning up a pt in the bathroom, you don't have any choice. You can't lay them down in the

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny, many times when seasoned nurses post on this forum saying how it really is, students get mad. I've been told off by a couple of students on allnurses for sharing my views of the realities...

  7. Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to EmBeMap's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, I just hate in when nursinghome residents have eye crusties. A warm washcloth with a bit of no-tears baby shampoo works great to get rid of this. When I worked LTC, I would give my residents each...

  8. Would this be inappropriate?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    I normally never have any contact w/ pts or families after they are no longer in my care. I, too, consider that inappropriate. However, there are always exceptions. I think I'd send the

  11. NA's not professionals

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    No, a nurse can do the job of a CNA. A CNA cannot do the job of a nurse. What I do consider quite laughable is what you think you know about nursing. I am a nurse, but I have been a CNA. You are a...

  13. I look at doctors differently now!!! And what is it about their handwriting

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to ltmja's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's so odd when they act like normal people, isn't it? I had a doc compliment my care a couple months back. I was

  14. Nursing Supervisors=Telemarketers

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just the supervisor- When I was a floor nurse LPN, it was often delegated to me by the RN (nocs) to call everyone at home, and call all the agencies to find staff when someone called in...

  15. My school forgot what??

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to vivibonita's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This happened waaaaay back when I completed my CNA training at a community college. Our certification exam was delayed for the same reason- the school didn't put their seal on the

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why some nursing programs are not talking to their students about this. What you are describing is a well-known phenomena in nursing: It's called Nursing Reality Shock. There was a...

  18. Some nurses make you sick!!!

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work on a LTC unit where I had nine tube feeders. Some were bolus feeds, and some were continuous. Some continuous ones were ordered as ml/hr, others were ordered as total amount in 24hrs,...

  19. NA's not professionals

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    No one here is putting down CNAs. We are simply arguing that CNAs are not considered professionals in the noun sense of the word. Period. I was a CNA myself for three years. Nurses never put me down...

  20. A few more questions before moving to Texas.

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to John123's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wow. I've been an RN for fifteen years. In my area of Texas, even experienced nurses w/ BSNs don't usually get more than $20./hr. Pt loads are a lot lower in your area,

    I'm no new grad- I've been a nurse for 15 years. There is a big surplus of nurses where I live. I became a traveler. I'm seeing more and more that even traveler wages are going down, and there are...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I was an LPN for more years than I've been an RN. We were taught in my LPN program that the RN is a professional nurse, and that the LPN/LVN is a vocational, technical nurse. The Texas BON delinates...
