  2. Started Nursing and went MIA

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to JenDoll's topic in General Students

    Oh boy can I relate! Just remember, C=RN. It's good to be a diligent student, but don't kill yourself. I felt really guilty this semester because the day before our second exam I had tickets for a...

  3. Nurse or Hairstylist?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to sassiebaz's topic in General Students

    If you would rather not work weekends or nights, I would not be a hairstylist. You have to be available when your clients are and a lot of people work the good old 9-5. I dunno.. Anyone take a day...

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to believer4's topic in General Nursing

    NurseWannabe1129 posted a topic in General Students

  8. This is not my job?!?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    By doing your best to clean it up, not only have you helped preserve the patient's dignity and did your job with infection control.. You will also earn a lot of respect from the other people working...

  9. Any nurses out there still wearing a cap?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's neat that some old school nurses still wear their caps.. I like what the poster above me said.. I know the cap is deeply rooted with tradition... But I also sometimes feel that maybe we...

    The wages are terrible and the cost of living is

  11. Will I get fired?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to be condescending.. But I can no longer read your posts without being so. You are a sad addition to the nursing race. You are the reason why people look down upon the nursing profession....

  12. Have you helped/saved anyone while off duty?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    Know that I know how to perform CPR, I would definitely try to help someone if I found them in distress. I think that's what being a health care worker is all about. I know if I was getting mugged...

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to skrnypa's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I do my clinicals at just had a wound care day yesterday with an emphasis on pressure ulcers. It was really interesting an

  14. Need Advice Badly

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to futurenicunurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a new grad? Boy I would love to work in a doctor's office but hear that most new grads generally need at least a year experience on a general med surg floor. I agree with some of the...

  15. Better nurse

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think one or the other will be better. Personally, I've always been an A student. Now in nursing school, I'm a B+ (I know, big deal.. but I was always a GPA wh**e.) The tests in nursing...

  16. Completely ignorant and need help

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to deadbydawn's topic in General Nursing

    I love that idea. I really like the idea of a blood pressure cuff. I wish I had one at home when I was learning BPs. I also would like to suggest drug cards... They don't cost too much.. But I hear...

  17. Need Opinions on Salary....

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to RNTink's topic in General Nursing

    Seems a little low to me also. I can make that kind of hourly pay on a weekend night bar

  18. You're JUST a nurse

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to oliveralways's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your point, but I think that this attitude is undermining the fact that nurses need to stand up and also be advocates for themselves! Instead, I would take this time to educate the...

  19. How proud and grateful you are being a nurse?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Podeng's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that I can one day say that I'm proud to be a

  20. Need Some Advice from my Fellow Students

    NurseWannabe1129 posted a topic in General Students

    This might be a little long... But here goes. We were testing off on lab skills this past week. Very basic stuff, moving the patient, assisting the patient, bad baths, etc. The professors had asked...

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to NurseWannabe1129's topic in General Students

    I know you're right but it's so frustrating dealing with those

  22. I need your two cents!

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to 4my2girls's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pretty much the same thing I was going to say. Being a CNA gives you a base on how to care and COMMUNICATE with patients! I am not shy at all. I work in a bar and will jump in on any conversation.....

  23. Would you file a HIPPA complaint?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to S.N. Visit's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree with the above posters that you should go to the clerk first. I know that I am a little hard of hearing and sometimes do not realize how loud I am speaking. It is always appreciated when...

  24. Is all Nursing bad/scary?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to the six of us's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet but have started my clinicals. I can tell you one reason it is worth it. Last week, my first patient that I ever had was a man here visiting friends in the States. He was from...

  25. Appears nurse is diverting narcs

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not saying that the OP should not report her suspicions. (She most certainly SHOULD!) But I just needed to point out that this new standard of conduct states that if the nurse "directly...
