I studied after 9 pm when the little one was in bed. Then as she got older I paid for extra daycare time on a certain day so that I could study. Now I go through goodwill periodically and clean up...
If it is inconveniencing you, then you have to put a stop to it. Let them know that you don't have time to make copies, but if they want to take a look at them while you are there, they are welcome...
Leslie, anyone can put information on wikipedia. It is not edited or reviewed for accuracy, so I can put anything that I want up on their site even if it is incorrect
Doctors being the ones to start IV's. Doctors apparently having no true specialty and being experts on every body system. Nurses nowhere to be seen, defibrillating non electrical activity, poking...
One other thing, use your precious new skills at assessment to assess the situation and how the nurse is responding to you. Often the "nice, teaching" nurses are so sought after that everybody goes...
You usually can tell within the first 20 minutes or so if the nurse is going to be like that. If he/she isn't excited to see you and there is no way to change to another nurse, then that is the day...
I realize that it is hard to change the doctor's terminology, but the very fact that a PA being called Doctor burned up the physicians at your place of work enough to hold a meeting, just illustrates...
Some people swear by them. I haven't found it necessary myself, but as I will be graduating in March, I will probably start to crack open a few soon. If you have enough practice questions on CD's...
The answer is "B". If someone is unresponsive you go into CPR mode and check the ABC's. You will also check the blood sugar, but if CPR is needed you can't wait to get that started. You will only...
Another option is Clark College in Vancouver washington. It is a community college that has it's nursing program located in a state of the art brand new building on the Washington State University...
U of P and OHSU routinely are the programs that I hear great things about for BSN programs. I have heard some disappointment from a couple fo Linfield grads that I know (clinical time and price being...
But the doctors shouldn't be using the term nurse unless it actually is a nurse. Most doctors would throw a fit if an NP or PA was usurping the title doctor in a medical setting. They spent upwards...
Nope, not buying it. It is against the law to impersonate a nurse or a physician. Introduce yourself from the beginning as the title that you are and you shouldn't have any problems. I worked as a...
What's wrong with saying "this is my assistant ____ who will be assisting you today" ? My doctor's office introduces himself as a medical assistant all the
Confidence is great. I am confident that I could be accepted into medical school. I am smart, I have the grades, I have taken a few of the prereqs and done well. But you know what, if I go over to...
Aww, we've come to the often used "run circles around you" phrase. Better buy some good NIKES so you'll be prepared! The curriculum of a CMA vs a BSN is beyond far from comparable so you'd better...
Being in the nursing profession should not simply mean having compassion to help others. That is what a charity service is for or a self motivated volunteer. A Registered nurse is the person who...
I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I know you aren't looking for answers, but maybe you would enjoy a different form of nursing such as teaching at a program, CNA school or teaching...
I have to have a snack. Even if it means wolfing down a balance bar on the run. Anyone want to deal with a nursing student that passed out in the hallway? Because that is exactly what could
While I can't completely agree with you about the tone of that whole thread, I do have to agree that many people on this board need to stop with the "i hope you are never my nurse" bit. It is...
didn't mean you specifically, was just thinking that this is a way that some could make a truckload of money. As I finished reading the thread it seems that I was on the right track. Not saying it's...
Dear god make it stop.... seriously, I honestly think people just aren't happy unless there is something to complain about. If we all had BSN degrees, then we would debate university vs private...
