  2. Oh no she didn't!

    misslo replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    I am. I start the program next fall That is the reason I am working. I wanted to work with nurses that would educate me and also to be educated by my residents. I have learned that the residents so...

  3. Most memorable thing patient has said to me...

    misslo replied to Nurse Salt's topic in General Nursing

    Just last week one of our patients/residents asked me..."are you a nurse?" I said "no so and so, I am a nurse aide" He says "that's even worse". I looked at him and he had the biggest smile on his...

  4. How Many Times During the Night Do You Wake Your Patients?

    misslo replied to abundantjoy07's topic in General Nursing

    We are required to reposition our residents every 2 hrs. I hate waking them up so sometimes I just rearrange a few pillows or change the position of the bed. That way, it cannot be said that I didn't...

  5. Confessions of a CNA

    misslo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a confession to make. Let me start by saying that I am a very giving person. I find happiness in other peoples happiness and find joy in giving. That is just the way I am. At work, I have...

  6. Confessions of a CNA

    misslo replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    I've been trying to come up with an annon type name, maybe secret angel would be a good one! My husband said secret squirrel! I've just been putting "from someone who appreciates all you do". But...

  7. Confessions of a CNA

    misslo replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. You know, it doesn't take much to show someone you appreciate them. I like doing it with little gifts, but you don't always have to spend money. I like them not knowing "who" exactly, but...

  8. How does a nurse pick HERSELF up when everyone keeps kicking her down?

    misslo replied to docpsychrn42's topic in General Nursing

  10. A Bad, Bad Day

    misslo replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. You all are so kind and have made me feel better. I do still have that "nagging" feeling of ill, but I'm hoping that it will go away with a little sleep. It's amazing how much stressing out...

  11. Should i become a CNA

    misslo replied to ryan4me's topic in General Nursing

    I totally disagree with you on this one. As a registered nurse, you will be expected to do the same work as a CNA. If you can't handle doing that type of work as a CNA, then you wont be able to handle...

  12. Should i become a CNA

    misslo replied to ryan4me's topic in General Nursing

    Thats what I did and I can't say that I regret it at all. I believe that becoming an aid will make me a better nurse when I get there. Also, I have to take pharm, A&P II and multicultural health...

  13. I am THAT CNA

    misslo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Back a while ago I posted about becoming the type of CNA that the nurses and the patients would love. I have become that CNA. Yes, I am patting myself on the back because I deserve it:yeah:. I treat...

    Ours is pretty low too. There is talk about cutting

  16. What to do while waiting to get into program

    misslo replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

    I knew that I would have alot of time between taking my pre-reqs and starting the program so I took a CNA course. I am so glad I did. I am learning alot from the nurses I work with AND the residents I...

  17. Depo

    misslo replied to widi96's topic in General Nursing

    Through experience I can tell you that I stopped my shots in Sept. of last year and still havent had one yet. I asked my Dr. and she said it could take up to a year.

  18. what is

    misslo replied to jinyi's topic in General Nursing

    I have gotten homework help on here and appreciated it greatly. Nurses seem to know an easier way of figuring things out and explaining it. Although, I didn't use actual problems and if I did, I just...

  19. PLEASE pray for these people!

    misslo replied to RhodyGirl, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Prayers are on the way! I hope everyone is ok.

  20. Lpn's working ER

    misslo replied to Arky's topic in General Nursing

    That will only happen if we allow it to. Hopefully a valuable lesson was learned from the last thread. I personally love a "debate". I like to read all sides and form an opinion for myself. I also...

  21. Thank you room 88

    misslo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I walked into room number 88 and saw you laying there. No twinkle in your eyes, no expression on your face, just a body lying in wait for a journey to a less painful place. Something about you tugged...

    misslo replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your wonderful responses. I do have to correct some of you, I am not a nurse yet, I am a CENA. But I assure you, when I become a nurse, I will feel the same. In fact, I am praying to...

  24. First Death

    misslo posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I just got a job at a local hospice as a CNA. I am fully aware of what hospice is, however, I am wondering how I will feel witnessing my first death. How did you feel? Also, how did you feel the first...

  25. First Death

    misslo replied to misslo's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thank you for replying les. I was beginning to think that my post was being taken wrong for some reason without replies! Is it usually for the most part surreal? I mean, what should I expect? I want...
