    EastBayCAStudent posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'll be a CNA next month. I may end up working for an agency at first, so I will rotate between several nursing homes and hospitals. What kind of shoes do I need? Will I be ok with any white...

    EastBayCAStudent replied to organichombre's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is very into fitness. He paid for a gym membership and got an evaluation by a trainer and a workout plan and asked what would help him lose weight. The guy said "That has more to do with...

  3. Funny things that pts say

    EastBayCAStudent replied to jRN4now's topic in Nursing Humor

    In my CNA clinicals at LTC I had one grumpy patient who would yell and scream and make grumpy faces. I gave in to curiosity and went in to talk to her, half afraid she would try to hit me. She told...

    EastBayCAStudent replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she was giving you an orientation more than an interview! good

    EastBayCAStudent replied to ltf500's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've been looking at Samuel Merritt ABSN, and it costs 52K, plus there are more prerequisites than other programs. So I'm kind of debating

    EastBayCAStudent replied to Laurinq's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A plethora? Disclaimer: This is just silly and not helpful at all. Sorry, I just had to add

  7. clinicals, why are the nurses such *******.

    EastBayCAStudent replied to lesliedabbs's topic in General Students

    Tha facts are irrelevant. Your attitude is the issue. A student may be difficult, but as an RN you should be able to manage the situation. If that means telling the instructor to limit the...

  10. What would you have said to this CNA

    EastBayCAStudent replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Disclaimer: I'm a soon-to-be CNA, and a student working toward RN. I have more business experience than medical. A CNA reports to the RN or LVN, whoever he or she is assigned to report to that day....

  11. New CNA with New Job... What would you do?

    EastBayCAStudent replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Nursing

    I'd drop the toxic friend in a heartbeat. No need to stir up any more drama in the process, just avoid her and refuse to talk to her any more than is required by work. If conversation turns to...

  12. CNAs We Love and Hate

    EastBayCAStudent replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    Most of your original post was fine. CNA's are there to support you, and to free you up to do other things. That's just the way it is, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it was your tone, and...

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, zuzi, I guess you have figured out all of human nature, and you are the only one capable of explaining things. We should inform the media. Maybe you can tell me what I should do for a living,...

  14. CNAs We Love and Hate

    EastBayCAStudent replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, LilPeon, it seems like maybe you are just coming across a little more abrasive than you meant to. Perhaps you should reconsider your previous communication with the CNAs in question and try to...

  15. CNAs We Love and Hate

    EastBayCAStudent replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    I will be a CNA soon, and at first I thought you were giving some helpful advice I could use....and then I was just thinking "Boy, I hope I don't have to work with

  16. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    You know, since I'm not a nurse yet either but I can apply common sense and life experience to this situation. The bottom line is we can't say one nurse is better than another without looking at her...

  18. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    This is getting a little heated, and I just want to point out that we can't generalize about people who say they are "called" to nursing and those who chose it because they thought it was a good...

  19. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they can find the "nurse gene" and test for it in a lab. Then the schools can limit entry to people who have

  20. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is hard and office jobs are not? I can tell you that a lot of people would disagree with that. There may be some easy office jobs out there, but good luck finding one, especially one that...

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks alleigh. I am pursuing my CNA right now, so that I can make some money while I'm going to school. Hopefully that will help me get my bearings in the healthcare field and help me feel...

  22. Getting into Nursing Just to Get a JOB!!

    EastBayCAStudent replied to allison_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting problem, but I would hope anyone who doesn't "belong" in nursing would figure it out pretty quickly and move on. I'm personally working toward my RN after getting laid off...

  23. Student Uniform - My Gosh!

    EastBayCAStudent replied to Meg_student's topic in General Students

    The first picture form the original post ^ the picture fron the nursing uniform store^ ...so I stand by my statement that it was photoshopped (not very well). Though I would hate to have to wear...

  24. Shoes for Wide, Flat feet?

    EastBayCAStudent replied to haunani's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm not in nursing (yet) but I have bought a LOT of different running shoes over the years for my wide semi-flat feet. Saucony, Asics, Brooks, and New Balance are my favorites for my duck feet....
