  1. Curious About Drop-out Rate In Nursing School

    johnnybravo8802 replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    I guess we did pretty good-we started with 60 and graduated 53.:yeah:I was the youngest in my class at age 22 while most were in their 30's and 40's. A lot in my class were in their second career and...

  2. CNA Personalities

    johnnybravo8802 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually, you're right on, I did work in another universe-Spock and Tweakee(From Buck Rogers) were patients of mine once and they got excellent care. As far as being a tech, I busted my orifice...

  3. CNA Personalities

    johnnybravo8802 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I apologize for grouping all CNA's in the same category-I used the wrong wording. As I stated before, I was a nurse tech and know what the job is like but I have seen a lot of nurses who have never...

  4. CNA Personalities

    johnnybravo8802 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I commend you for being a good CNA who cares-keep caring! The fact is, as RN's, we do do it by ourselves most of the time because the techs aren't doing anything(Who do you think does it when a...

  5. CNA Personalities

    johnnybravo8802 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are these comments coming from CNA's or nurses? I'll give you my opinion from the perspective of a 16 yr. veteran RN who has been in multiple hospitals and multiple units-I was always a float nurse....

  6. Warning to New Grads

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Little_Mouse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The funny part is that I graduated in 95' with a BSN, had worked as a tech for 2 years and couldn't find a job back then either-they wouldn't accept new grads! The conditions you describe aren't just...

  7. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    What do you guys think will happen if everyone has access to healthcare? The answer is that we will be more overworked. Ever since I started nursing school in 1992, all I've heard is about nurses...

  8. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree about the nurse knowing the daily INR but where I'm at, the doctor actually looks at labs also-imagine that! I do take it personally when we're running off nurses and we can't give good pt....

  9. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Let me tell you something, I spent 6 long years in college to get my BSN and to have preceptor's push me back out the door-you'd be mad to!!!! You obviously didn't go through what I did so I don't...

  10. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's funny how most of you seem to be missing the point here. It's about nurses eating their young which is what I've heard from day one and what most of you seem to be proving as we speak. A...

  11. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's really refreshing to know that there are so many nurses out there who have never made a mistake! I really want all of you as my nurse!!!!! I ran into a lot of ruthless preceptors when I first...

  12. Think I'm on the road to burnnout already... VENT... sorry so long

    johnnybravo8802 replied to PatricksRNMommy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was battered so much as a new grad that I left nursing after 2 yrs. of in-and-out of different hospitals. I used to leave the OR where I worked and would literally be shaking in the parking lot...

  13. Yelled at nursing station by doctor

    johnnybravo8802 replied to longjourneydream's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Been a nurse for 15 yrs. and would like to say that it gets better, but it doesn't. Doctors still yell at you 15 yrs. later. When they ask, "who's in charge?", I get to tell them that I am. That's...

  14. Another burnout thread

    johnnybravo8802 replied to RiverNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn't get any better! I've been a nurse for 15 years and have a lot of extensive training-OR,ICU,floor nursing,etc. I'm usually the charge nurse on my...
