    Crash_Cart replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    Why so much competition between nurses?

    Crash_Cart replied to MrsCrypes's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have often observed well seasoned nurses, nurse practitioners and even MD's refer to drug books on many, many occasions and long after they finished school so you will not be alone. There is no...

    Workplace violence

    Crash_Cart replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. "FEAR" is the work place bullys primary objective. Completely unacceptable to allow that to continue. The issue needs to be effectively addressed or it will

    Bullying in the workplace needs to be addressed and resolved once and for all. So who is a work place bully anyways? It's not uncommon such unacceptable behavior to be exhibited by those higher up in...

    You said you never done many of these skills before but, I am somewhat perplexed how you could have made it to the floor without demonstrating these skills in a classroom or lab setting first?...

    What am I doing wrong? (Hospitals & My Resume)

    Crash_Cart replied to MedSurger's topic in General Nursing

    Is your resume reflecting your actual accomplishments and achievements or does it read like a generic job description? To stand above the crowd, avoid making generalized statements in your resume....

    Does Nursing School teach you what you can and can't say to patients?

    Crash_Cart replied to Cathylady's topic in General Students

    During my training, I recall we had touched on this topic on a few occasions. However, in the business world there are courses taught on the subject of sensitivity training and workplace diversity...

    Nurse Career Battery Test

    It is my opinion this test serves no useful purpose other than to make money for the consulting companies that introduce it to HR's for the purpose of conducting these assessments. Everything in this...

    Dealing with CNA's

    Crash_Cart replied to miss_c's topic in General Nursing

    Scope of educational background is not the issue. Scope of practice is the issue. Don't worry, there will be plenty of time to function as a licensed nurse, teaching and counciling patients about...

    will i be able to get a job in a hospital as a graduate nurse or cna?

    Crash_Cart replied to kimesha101's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the facility for which you are applying. Some places actually require that you hold a CNA certification credential before you are eligible to apply for the job. A "certified"...

    Crash_Cart replied to StangGang92's topic in General Nursing

    Patient Care Technician Course!

    Crash_Cart replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It's free, but your hospital training doesn't equate to any accumulation in terms of college credit hours nor does it have any GPA associated with it either. Most colleges don't recognize on the job...
