  1. CNAs and weight

    Equinox_93 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think that may be a regional thing, as far as the "level of education required/lower income" statement. Around here (near a city whose financial base is the healthcare industry) a significant number...

  2. Bryant&Stratton Parma Ohio

    Equinox_93 replied to HodgimomiRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Does B&S have an evening/weekend RN or even LPN

  3. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    Equinox_93 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree in theory, much like the difference between classroom and reality- the reality of different people's financial situations isn't the same between the theory of "everyone can" to the...

  4. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Equinox_93 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    professors/instructors don't have to be disrespectful to do their jobs. would you say the same regarding a professor/instructor who came on here and claimed that a student was being insolent in class-...

  5. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Equinox_93 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh- OK- gotcha. You didn't quote which post you were referencing there, and 3 pages in I tend to figure that most people are replying to posts further in. Thanks for the clarification- definately...

  6. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Equinox_93 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying that you don't think that pronounciation, correct grammar, spelling etc. are at all important? Do you not feel that they contribute toward ones perception of credibility of a nurse or...

  7. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Equinox_93 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely it is acceptable for someone who is learning to have trouble with medical terms- I think part of the point the instructor was trying to convey (albeit in a harsher than necessary manner) is...

  8. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Equinox_93 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    If you re-read my post you will see that I am NOT saying that it makes anyone less of a nurse- I am saying that such things can cause others to question ones education/knowledge. In the case of...

  9. CNAs and weight

    Equinox_93 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    *blink*.... *blink*... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! An article like that coming from someone who makes their living sitting on their laurels pushing a pen all day... *rolls eyes* Stick this one in the round...

  10. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Equinox_93 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    I love the ones who pronounce it "Old Timers"... especially around the older

  11. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    Equinox_93 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    I think that he is an ass, but he also has a point. I'd question a medical professional who had poor grammar, who mispronouced words etc. because I'd wonder just how much experience they had with...

  12. Stress relief?

    Equinox_93 replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's somewhat similar to Tai Chi... A sort of moving meditation/martial

  13. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    Equinox_93 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, we don't "all" have the same opportunity to go as far as we want to go with our educations. We have the opportunity to go as far as we can pay for. Just sayin. As for first names- I've had...

  14. CNA to RN at work

    Equinox_93 replied to dialtechd's topic in General Nursing

    One can work as a CNA while going to school to be an RN- I believe that may be what she was getting at.

  15. Stress relief?

    Equinox_93 replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I meditate at least a half hour each day. I take long bubble baths (usually with a good book and glass of good wine). I paint, draw and read... I do yoga and QiGong, go to the park,

  16. CNAs in L&D

    Equinox_93 replied to prisicruz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe you didn't mean for this to come across this way, but "CNA work" is just work that CNA's do to assist the nurses- it's just non-specialized nursing work. CNA's are "nursing assistants". Before...

  17. CNAs in L&D

    Equinox_93 replied to prisicruz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So... They just hired more RN's to have ample staffing- or they worked shorter staffed and made the RN do

  18. CNAs in L&D

    Equinox_93 replied to prisicruz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Where I delivered they had all three- an RN, an LPN and a CNA. I noticed they were all there each shift. I'm sure they were lucky to be so well

  19. Disturbed Energy Field

    Equinox_93 replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    Part of it may be the simple factor of human contact. Babies require it to thrive- perhaps that need is carried into adulthood- at least as far as being able to affect positive immune/healing response...

  20. Disturbed Energy Field

    Equinox_93 replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    I've been a reiki practitioner for awhile now- and yes- it does work. Call it a crock of... if you like- but IMO if it helps someone- it helps someone and I really don't give a flying fig whether the...

  21. Cultural and Ethinic Considerations in Nursing

    Equinox_93 replied to txwildflower57's topic in General Nursing

    ... So what if they believe dirt under their bed will help them get better? Does it matter? If it makes them feel better about it and if their beliefs offer them a happier life- IMO that's all that...

    Holistic care IS a part of

  23. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    Equinox_93 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a fan of Mr. and Mrs. (Last Name) but we usually do Mr/Mrs (first name). I guess I'm in that in-between mindset between that formality and today's more casual attitude... With doctors, I think...

  24. Just curious

    Equinox_93 replied to kb514's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know about most- but alot of them around here at least do. It seems to be a more and more common occurrance. Personally I think it makes for a much more well rounded nurse and I chose to be a...

  25. Just curious

    Equinox_93 replied to kb514's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are also SOOO many posters who are in the CNA classes before actually becoming a CNA... The questions are often about the classes and pre-certification
