    k-t-did replied to chevyv's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I come to you to report on a patient, as we are told to do, please don't roll your eyes when I report "mundane" things, like someone needs the podiatrist, or their antibiotic has caused thrush in...

  2. Student Nurses over 35 and Second Career????

    k-t-did replied to LoveFromAbove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    k-t-did replied to Ling07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    k-t-did posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Taking CNA class with immature classmates..UGHHHHH

    k-t-did replied to Ling07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yep, it's kinda sickening. We had two teenagers in our class. Texting all the time. Giggling to each other. Late to class. Luckily the teacher threw one of them out, and the other has really stepped...

  11. Career change fears

    k-t-did replied to Shortigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Instant Hesi results!?!?!?!

    k-t-did replied to dee78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I scored slightly lower on reading than math, and like you, I am much better at reading/English than math. Frankly, I thought the reading portion was just a bad exam. I found a mispelled word even....

  15. opinion about nsu shreveport vs panola in carthage...

    k-t-did replied to polishgurlrn2b's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    See, and I have heard just the opposite. NSU is developing a very bad reputation around here, unfortunately. I have heard nurses say they can't stand working with the nurses from NSU in clinicals,...

    k-t-did replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With all due respect, Airforce Rn, who attacked whom? I just expressed surprise at a lack of respect from those who basically accused a large percentage of this community of mutilating our children....

  18. The Circumcision Discussion

    k-t-did replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    you wouldn't walk into a room and say it, but you have no problem coming into this forum and saying it, yet we are still real people, capable of being insulted just like your patients. I would...

  24. Jehovah Witness patients refusing any blood transfusion.. Why?

    k-t-did replied to cameroondiva's topic in General Nursing

    To put it another way, accepting blood products may save a person's life, but what is the point of having a longer life on Earth if they've damned their eternal soul by doing so? Interesting....never...

  25. Jehovah Witness patients refusing any blood transfusion.. Why?

    k-t-did replied to cameroondiva's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I'm Catholic, and my faith believes birth control is wrong. There are so many reasons that this is wrong in my eyes. Again, sanctity of human life. Having children you are unable to care...
