  1. Anti-HIV

    DA314 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting. You'd think someone would want to know if they were HIV + so they could get on meds to prolong their life. Maybe ignorance is bliss

  2. Need help please

    DA314 replied to Tinkerz's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately drug seekers always find ways to get drugs. I suggest talking to her. But until she wants to change, there may not be much you can do. From my experience, several of our clients have...

  3. terminated

    DA314 replied to lynn0808's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I side with the employer in this type of situation. Yes, you have valid reasons for why you missed. I'm not saying that you shouldn't help out your family members. However, the...

  4. Weird Question about Breath Smell

    DA314 replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what causes it , but I've been around people with that same smell! Just like poop! It's disgusting, you'd think their dentist would help them out with

  5. Who's at UK?

    DA314 replied to Snowii's topic in General Nursing

    Zoobyli- where is your degree from? What is it in? That is strange that they won't accept

  6. Frustrated and Torn

    DA314 replied to ladynurse1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think it is great that you are pursuing your dream! I am also quitting a good-paying, stable jon in order to start nursing school. I will work as a CNA prn while in school, and I also clean an...

    DA314 replied to Jasel's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  8. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    DA314 replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    Just after I woke up from my endoscopy last year, my doctor came in and explained his findings to my husband. As soon as the doctor left the curtain area, I exclaimed rather loudly "I didn't know my...

  9. What is the CNA class like?

    DA314 replied to fascinoma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA class is the easiest class I've ever taken. It is mostly common sense. The skills portion is a little harder, but even that is common sense if you stop to think about why things are done a certain...

  10. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    DA314 replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sandlewood- I never called you weak or lacking. All I did was point out that the careers you mentioned all have their negatives. Every career does. And I never said you weren't cut out to be a nurse....

  11. RN's/CNA's...what's with this attitude?

    DA314 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not trying to ruffle feathers, but in my CNA class (well, actually, in KY I think it's called state registered nursing assistants), we were taught that the CNA is a vital part of the nursing team....

  12. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    DA314 replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you should do whatever makes you happy., but please keep in mind that petty games and high stress levels are a part of any work environment. I work at a law firm and I get extremely...

  13. Job interviews tomorrow: need help bad!

    DA314 replied to ICURNIAM's topic in General Nursing

    If you lie, and they find out about it, you will find yourself job hunting again. I second what Nrsang97 said. Honesty is the best

  14. Fyi

    DA314 replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    Ginza- No I do not have children, and I was not in any way trying to mock you, I truly wanted to know the answer. I know that book-way and real-world way are sometimes different. I'm just trying to...

  15. Fyi

    DA314 replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Bob- that is good to

  16. Fyi

    DA314 replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    Is an on-site school nurse not sufficient? It's not like kids choke or have fibrilating hearts everyday. Everyone has their cause, if this means that much to you, I'm not going to try to convince you...

  17. Fyi

    DA314 replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to be smart here, I really want to know, as I'm new to the wonderful world of health care, but if someone is wheezing or couging, aren't you supposed to hit their back and encourage...

  18. Fyi

    DA314 replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    Parents seem to expect more and more out of teachers these days. If two kids get into a physical altercation, people blame the teacher. If a child doesn't study or do their homework, and therefore...

  19. Nurses who became famous

    DA314 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    It started in 1998, when the husband petitioned to remove the feeding tube. I was what, 14? I didn't follow it too closely. When it was resolved,I was 21, and didn't pay much attention to the news....

  20. Nurses who became famous

    DA314 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I thought her parents put her through the torture. The husband wanted her to die with dignity, did he not? I was younger when it happened, so maybe I'm

  21. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    DA314 replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    MD- please keep us updated. I'm curious as to whether the lawyers will take your case... Sounds like maybe this would be a hard one to

  22. Fyi

    DA314 replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    What about the workers at chuck-e Cheese? How about the fair employees? Workers at McDonald's? Ice cream man? Big sis who babysits sometimes? In a perfect world, everyone would know basic life...

  23. RN's/CNA's...what's with this attitude?

    DA314 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the issue isn't so much that CNA's expect nurses to kiss their feet, but I'm sure a little respect would go a long way. From what I've seen on these boards, many CNA's feel as though nurses...

  24. is a prison a good place to work?

    DA314 replied to pctsn9-20-80's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'd be too scared to work prison. Surrounded by criminals and you are the one with the drug cart? no

  25. Will I be neglectful and selfish?

    DA314 replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please don't waste your money on a paralegal degree!! I work in a very well-known law firm as a paralegal, and until recently none of the paralegals had a degree! It's more of a learn on the job kind...
