  1. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    LMoonRN replied to nursingstudent424's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I first started nursing, I worried about gagging around feces since I have a really bad gag reflex when it comes to smells. I worked at a LTC this summer and encountered enough feces to last me a...

  4. Nursing Salaries in Boston

    LMoonRN replied to LMoonRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  5. Reporting a nursing home for uncleanliness?

    LMoonRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I personally believe you have a duty to report in order to protect the vulnerable patients. This can be done anonymously as far as I'm aware. It takes a lot of courage to report something but you are...

  6. CNA as a NURSING SUPERVISOR?

    LMoonRN replied to militarymom06's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would be absolutely appalled if I was an LPN and a CNA was my direct floor supervisor. This should not even be legal and it needs to be reported to the proper authorities. It is putting the staff...

  9. Do you/ did you have a Nurses Cap? Pin?

    LMoonRN replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    At my school, we wear a cap and receive our pins at the "pinning Mass" which is a ceremony from the graduation ceremony with all the other majors. The cap is a basic old fashioned nurses cap and I do...

  10. How did you react to your first code?

    LMoonRN replied to AZcardiacRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to be a third year student and have not yet seen a code. The only thing that has come close for me was when my aunt was in the hospital a few years ago, a woman coded in the room diagonally...

    LMoonRN replied to LMoonRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  13. What's Boston like?

    LMoonRN replied to MovingRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    This "hiring freeze" for new grads in Boston scares me!! Hopefully it will clear within the next two years if the economy get better. I know a recent grad from my school who has her BSN, RN and had a...

    LMoonRN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked nights 11-7 and evenings 3-11 as a CNA for the past few months. I never fell asleep while at work. I was just too scared too. I would read a magazine/review charts in the down time I...

  16. Waterproof Watch

    LMoonRN replied to LMoonRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I find it a lot easier to take pulses with a second hand plus my school requires one as well so that is why I do not use a digital watch. Let me know if you have any luck with Nike.

  17. "English Only" Rule at Work?

    LMoonRN replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    Hello All! I worked as a CNA in a LTC facility this summer. I was 1 out of less than a handful of white aides on my floor. All the rest were Brazilian, Haitian, or Hispanic. The only real problem the...

  18. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    LMoonRN replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Great thread! I have found these items to be helpful so far in my journey through nursing school: 1.) A comfortable and sturdy backpack, I recommend the North Face, well worth the price. 2.) Good...

  20. Backpack Advice

    LMoonRN replied to PhysicsBabe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would highly recommend a backpack from The North Face. While a bit on the pricey side, these backpacks are built to last!!!! They can withstand wear and tear. I have the North Face "Slingshot"...
