  2. In what department do you not wipe the backside?

    I hate to break it to you but wiping ass is part of the job. Get over it. Hospitals are not going to hire more nursing assistants because some nurses think that they are above and beyond having to...
  3. Horrible hospital experience!

    I'd climb the ladder if you know what I mean. I would write a formal complaint to administration and would call

  7. Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn

    I've heard the same thing from several nurses who've worked at
  8. Don't you have a locking mechanism on your IV
  9. Katnip is correct. The nurse is wrong for administering the IV Lasix. The DON is wrong for ordering her to give the IV Lasix. Both, if reported would be in trouble and to be honest, they should be...
  10. National Medical Academy

    You say that NMA said they could tutor you for an exam? A nursing exam? One that you would be taking in a real nursing program? Why on earth would you go anywhere else other than classmates or your...

  12. You must be an alcoholic

    Awww come on, leave Dick out of this. But in all seriousness, this student needs to be reprimanded or expelled from his/her program. It's unacceptable to make assumptions about any patient based on...
  13. Muslim Nurses Administering Haram Medications

    I don't care if my post makes sense. I'm typing whatever thought comes to my mind. You are posting on a public forum and everyone, Muslim or not, has the RIGHT to reply to any post regardless of who...
  14. Muslim Nurses Administering Haram Medications

    I have to agree with Wooh. I don't find her comments to ignorant, just another perspective. I'm only saying this because you seem to be taking offense to what Wooh is saying when its not offensive at...

  17. National Medical Academy

    NRSkaren, thank you for all of the info. You are correct. All nursing programs are required to be approved by the State of Michigan. As I have said before on the NCSBN website, National Medical...
  18. Muslim Nurses Administering Haram Medications

  20. It just ****** me off to no end. I love being a nurse. I'm very passionate about what I do. Nursing will never get the recognition it deserves because of crap like this from the higher ups. Have...

  22. I'm so sorry I didnt go straight for my BSN

    I know its frustrating BUT regardless of what degree a new grad has earned, ADN or BSN, they are still having trouble finding a job. I have some friends that recently graduated from an ADN program,...
  23. Supposedly, there is a school called National Medical Academy here in Detroit that offers a nursing program. I have the address to this supposed school and it's not listed anywhere in the directory....
