    This is not my job?!?

    chevyv replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    I reread the thread and even though she cleaned up most of it, and then went out to ask housekeeping to finish, just seems to me it may have been easier to just ask to use the mop or whatever policy...

    Help with Care Plans

    chevyv replied to rn/writer's topic in General Students

    Yes, I would report that under subjective data. Pt did refuse to answer right, even though they were capable of answering? If so, then yes I would put that pt refused to answer any questions....

    Grading scale

    chevyv replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program. I'm stumped as to why your school is doing things the way they are and not telling the students. My first thought was the pass rate for the NCLEX just because that seems to be...

    Help with Care Plans

    chevyv replied to rn/writer's topic in General Students

    You can't put what pt didn't say, so you can only write refused. Unless family was there and provided some answers, then you have to write it and that it came from

    This is not my job?!?

    chevyv replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    I really can't believe a student would ask housekeeping to clean up stool. Please, it is part of your job not only as a student, but also when you become a nurse. Clean it up! You don't really think...

    How do you react to being humiliated by nurses?

    chevyv replied to Miwila's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was a CNA for over 12 years and I will never understand what makes a person think it's ok to disrespect another person. Without the cna, life would be much harder for staff and pts. When we came...

    chevyv replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Yea for you!!! I'm looking at May 2009 to be done and I can't wait. I'm so burnt out. Good luck. Isn't it just great to see the end of the road? I'm a part timer so I have my last clinical and...

    unfortunate fate

    chevyv replied to thejourney's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry you had a terrible first time out as a CNA. I can tell you that it may not be you, but the facility. To work in an environment where people talk about after you've only been there a month...

    Grading scale

    chevyv replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Students

    Check out your schools pass rate for the NCLEX this past year. Our school changed from 78% avg on all exams to 80% on each exam. Our instructor told us it was because of the latest test results from...

    Fundraising Ideas?

    chevyv replied to RNnTrainin''s topic in General Students

    We tried a cookbook and I sent in about 10 recipes. Can you believe I was the only one? It did take me a long time to copy them and ns are always pressed for time. Our bake sales always did well....

    Drug Test

    chevyv replied to concernedlpn's topic in General Nursing

    If all else fails, can you do a hair sample? It seems that I'd pay out of pocket to prove that rather than lose my license. Please keep us

    how many of you go to the grocery store after working with patients?

    chevyv replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    I have to add a bit to a previous post regarding farm fields. I'm a city girl who transplanted to the country a few years back. Everyone around here has septic systems that obviously need to be pumped...

    Hi there! I am a psycho/stressed/overstimulated/tired nursing student!

    chevyv replied to aslaten08's topic in General Students

    I too am on the last bit of road to becoming an rn and feel the exact same way. I could puke! I'm just tying a knot and hanging on right now. I'm part time and just finished my last big theory...

    High Metabolism + No breaks= death, diet for skinny nurses?

    chevyv replied to phosophorus's topic in General Nursing

    A little off the subject of food, but right on with op, I'm still in ns, but my last clinical instructor forced us to take our lunch. Her belief was that a hungry nurse= a tired nurse= an unhappy pt....

    Sitter questions

    chevyv replied to xoloveinautumn's topic in General Students

    Overall, I loved my sitter jobs. I took care of 1 patient and did it well. It does get kind of boring, but it also takes alot of patience. When pts sleep, I usually read a book. If they were...

    chevyv replied to patoyia's topic in General Nursing

    Met a couple at a Chldren's Hospital the same time my infant was there. They both had heart defects and were in surgery the same day. About a week later, mom was looking over the chart (at the time...

    Is it possible to just get it???

    chevyv replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in General Students

    I floated through my ADN program right up until the last theory class. I was on the deans list the entire program, until now. I rarely ever had to study but I never missed a class. This semester...

    Need some advice

    chevyv replied to jmarie10802's topic in General Students

    I feel the same way. I'm a part timer and am just finishing up my last theory class and then onto my last clinical (in Jan). I'm already dreading the clinical. I do pretty well, but so many...

    I too am in my last semester and I can honestly tell you that for the first time in my schooling, I considered dropping out of the program. The last theory class was the most difficult one of the...

    I am a psycho the night before clinical..

    chevyv replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, but if you have a prescription, I don't think it's anyone's business when you take it as long as it doesn't affect your judgement. Good

    Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    chevyv replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is getting old fast. PopeJane, if nursing is in your heart, go for it. If it's a last resort, then please rethink your reasoning. I'm not sure the above poster meant to be disrespectful...

    chevyv replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

    I missed this too. Wow, I thought they helped pts with feeding. I see this was not correct.
