  1. What do you do in clinicals?

    treysdaddy08 replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    Palm T/X. I got it at staples for 314. You can get it off ebay for about 180, but I didn't want to wait. I got the Nursing Constellation and Tabers off of Skyscape.com for 130 dollars. Nursing...

  2. orientation?

    treysdaddy08 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm (almost) a nursing student (start in 3 weeks). I hear a lot about orientation after you graduate, and many orientations are btw 8 and 12 weeks. What is orientation? Is that having another nurse...

  3. What do you do in clinicals?

    treysdaddy08 replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't done clinicals yet (start in 2 weeks) but I do have an idea for any students still in clinicals! I've put my notes (in word format) onto my palm t/x, so that during 'slow' times at clinicals...

  4. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    treysdaddy08 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    You may be right. If someone can find out now, rather than later that they do not want to go into nursing, that would be a great experience for them. However, telling me that because I believe I will...

  5. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    treysdaddy08 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly what I mean...I said "I believe nursing will be a rewarding career" and I'm told that I have no idea what nursing is REALLY like, implying that my ideals are far-fetched. I do believe...

  6. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    treysdaddy08 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Then you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I know that nursing is going to suck sometimes. I'm sure that once in a while I'll want to quit, both school and the career. But what some posters seem...

  7. Am I reading this right...?

    treysdaddy08 replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

    Remember one thing. This is a contract. This is binding. Semantics are crucial in contracts. This contract does not say "what would be perceived as a normal work day". It doesn't specify number of...

  8. Am I reading this right...?

    treysdaddy08 replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

    I did read your post again. And as you said, a contract is a binding agreement between nurses and employers on how they agree to mandate their working environment. They specify that overtime shall be...

  9. Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    treysdaddy08 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    it's sexual harrassment. i've had to deal with that before as i had a roommate (who was male) hitting on me, and when i brought it up at work everyone was telling me i was gay. my boss came in and i...

  10. Am I reading this right...?

    treysdaddy08 replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

    I must disagree. If you read the OPs post again, it doesn't say shift. It says scheduled shift. Her scheduled shift is 4 hours, thereby making anything over that OT. Also, I do believe that they might...

  11. boards need to regulate MA's

    treysdaddy08 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    no, i thought you were completely polite. i appreciated it. i was talking to my father about the difference between ma's and nurses. the difference i see is like this...it is like the difference...

  12. boards need to regulate MA's

    treysdaddy08 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL Well, I appreciate the politeness in your response, Angel. Just FYI...I'm a nursing student. And I'm pursuing my ADN. I'm not sure how it works at other schools, but at our community college you...

  13. boards need to regulate MA's

    treysdaddy08 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares? Everyone should care. Let's look at a situation. Pt gets called on the phone for a Rx to be filled. It's the "nurse" (MA) that is calling her. Rx is wrong, but the MA doesn't catch it. Pt...

  14. boards need to regulate MA's

    treysdaddy08 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Crystal, The other thing you have to realize is the cockiness you are portraying. You will most likely say it is confidence, but it is not. It is sheer arrogance. It is honestly (no disrespect meant...

  15. boards need to regulate MA's

    treysdaddy08 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Crystal, That attitude is why so many people are scared of MA's. A lot of them think that because they have seen an MD do a procedure and have repeated that procedure themselves that they are trained....

  16. Potential new law to be passed...to help nursing shortage

    treysdaddy08 replied to maggymae's topic in General Nursing

    I do know that in Wa state a CNA can be "certified" as a med aid and pass meds in LTC facilities. I think it's rather stupid personally. I was a med aid w/o certification (very briefly) and I have no...

  17. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    treysdaddy08 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    So, under that logic, EVERYONE who breaks the law should be pulled over, and EVERYONE who is pulled over should be ticketed. The law is black and white. You broke it. You'll be punished. No grey area,...

  18. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    treysdaddy08 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I respect all your posts Woody, but I totally disagree with this one here. So if a cop asks you why you're speeding, what are you supposed to say? If you were speeding because you were late for work,...

  19. Usually an A student--got a C on 1st exam

    treysdaddy08 replied to veronica123's topic in General Students

    I'm a first year student (starting in two weeks!!!). We spoke with a lot of the second year students and they gave us a lot of good advice. One piece of advice that she gave that would pertain to you...

  20. I took the Kaplan course and FAILED the NCLEX

    treysdaddy08 replied to NurseLumpia's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What did you take? The PN or RN? From my understanding, this year's NCLEX-RN has had a dramatic fall off from usual pass rates. This isn't fact, just what I've heard from several sources (I know that...

  21. moses lake

    treysdaddy08 replied to kcrnsue's topic in Washington Nursing

    Moses Lake!!! I live here!!! lol...are ya'll still around? I just started the RN program (the program program, not the pre req's) out

  22. Exhausting shifts

    treysdaddy08 replied to Toquay's topic in Emergency

    Last year I was working nights at a LTC facility. During mid summer my gf and I had decided we wanted to go to a Mariners (baseball) game *first time at safeco field in our lives*. Seattle is about 3...

  23. Student blatently sexually harrassed me...

    treysdaddy08 replied to Thedreamer's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I had something similar to this when I was a CNA. I'm straight as an arrow, but was hit on by someone when I was working in their home. He told me how he was getting on the "adult sites" last night,...

  24. Need some advice with a friend regarding school

    treysdaddy08 replied to nurz2be's topic in Male Nursing Students

    To be completely honest I (as a male nursing student) don't think he has any strikes against him. I believe that women do enjoy working with men, but they are always worried about getting hit...

  25. Psych class

    treysdaddy08 replied to blayzin2's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on the instructor, but my psych class we went off of the notes. I took psych 101 and 210, and to be honest I never once opened a book in those two qtrs. Most instructors in a...
