    Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    DolceVita replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Honestly I was in medical school years ago and was too sick to complete it. Went into another industry did well blah blah blah. Several years ago I had an acute illness and was in ICU for about a...

    I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

    DolceVita replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

    I got one of these for my niece the ice skater. I don't think it would work for my nursing school needs -- the wrong size compartments really. Did you get the one with the wheels that light up?

    Is it ok to come and leave a little late to work?

    DolceVita replied to StrawberryCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you have to ask if something is OK you probably know the answer. Hmmmm....no not OK. If my job starts at 7am I am walking in the door at 6.45am. This is because I was taught that your start time...

    DolceVita replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oooooooooh well that is much better. Dear me. I think you should put down the shovel or at least stop digging. Even when you think that "not all of those people are the brightest apples" it really...

    Pharmacology or Pathophysiology

    DolceVita replied to Loves2learn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I took pharm before pathophys. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a choice although your pathophys will include pharmacology. Why? because learning pharmacology as applied to conditions that I...

    Help me understand...

    DolceVita replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got your point and it is completely unnecessary and offensive. Good luck to you my little friend. Clearly your road ahead will be a bit tricky vis those nurse-nurse relationships. When you are...

    No insurance diagnosis

    DolceVita replied to 2theBeauxn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did too. It resulted in a crippling bill of over 350K. Had I insurance I could and would have gone in days before. I might still have needed hospital for IV ABX but not a month in ICU.

    Normal to wait this long for pre employment follow up

    DolceVita replied to afromom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I see a lot of private ads on Craiglist and on my univesity's job site -- more like home health aide stuff. Perhaps you can get some experience with them (although it may not count towards renewing...

    Nursing School Dilemma

    DolceVita replied to MilwaukeeRNstu's topic in General Students

    I think a good many people fail a class in nursing school. Please don't feel bad and I understand why you feel embarrassed but I doubt anyone is judging you as hard as yourself right now. You have to...

    No insurance diagnosis

    DolceVita replied to 2theBeauxn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I actually would not use word like noncompliance in this case. Also, as there is no regimen actually in place to manage prior to seeking health care it doesn't quite fit. I like: Ineffective health...

    Normal to wait this long for pre employment follow up

    DolceVita replied to afromom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hope you get it. Is there any chance, if you don't, that you could get a gig at an agency? You don't need many hours to retain your certification although I think it must be under the "direct"...

    For all of those on Medicaid

    DolceVita replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    In the name of all that is holy...I am not even approaching accusing someone of saying all people on medicare are a problem. I don't understand why you both are being so obtuse. It is clear to...

    For all of those on Medicaid

    DolceVita replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot imagine why you are being so aggressive and rude. I am only pointing out your own words. Which were -- "The Medicaid families single themselves out, unfortunately. The bad apples spoil the...

    For all of those on Medicaid

    DolceVita replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmmmmmm. No stereotyping here then. Also, please stop being so ridiculous about my having not read the thread. It is not the case. Once you start talking about individuals you will not be...

    For all of those on Medicaid

    DolceVita replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I read that claim you don't check. What I think is you make a reasonably educated guess based on stereotypes and treat them differently. You probably don't even realize you are doing

    For all of those on Medicaid

    DolceVita replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Look I don't like this sort of generalization. What do you do? Go and check their insurance status? Has it occurred to you if you only have this "problem" with people on medicaid that the only other...

    I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Well you went and HAD to mention cartoon ties! If a guy is going to wear a cartoon tie he deserves the reaction he gets -- including
