    Latex and powder free gloves...

    juliaann replied to Eriseth's topic in General Nursing

    Can you request your facility order some powdered gloves? We have *all sorts* of gloves since we have employees with allergies and even just preferences of glove brand/type. If CS doesn't have it,...

    When to answer other cna's call lights

    juliaann replied to NurxingRoxx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As long as your assignment is caught up and none of your lights are going off, definitely answer other lights! The residents on other assignments need care, and it is only by everyone's effort that...

    Advice on how to pursue a BSN

    juliaann replied to tn42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can answer some of these questions, as nursing will also be my second degree. As for GPA, it's really going to depend on your school, and how competive asmission is in your area. For the most part,...

    being a medical assistant better than a cna

    juliaann replied to margueritef's topic in General Nursing

    If you really want to be a CNA, be a CNA. As an MA, getting a job that you enjoy and is worth the time and money you spend on MA school will really depend on your location, the job market where you...

    Just curious as to what you would do in this situation.

    juliaann replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell them no. Rehab is not

    From CMA to EKG Technician, Questions!!

    juliaann replied to StaceyCMA's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey Stacey, I know your post was a few days ago, but maybe you'll still get my reply. I was a CNA for a year, and now I am an EKG/CV tech in a hospital. I *love* my job now, and definitely recommend...

    Turning down a job

    juliaann replied to jd1797's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with annacnatorn. If working in a hospital is what you want (and it sounds like it!), going part time at your current job will likely be the best way to go. It shows your hospital job...

    Med Error

    juliaann replied to Fitzy819's topic in General Nursing

    The prescriber and pharmacist are both responsible for not realizing that was an unsafe dose for the child. Are you sure the script was deleted out of the system, and not just flagged as an error? I...

    How to become a rn health coach??

    juliaann replied to Enfermera85's topic in General Nursing

    I also have never heard of this, but a quick google turned up this site: http://www.healthcoachnursingjobs.com/ It looks like they're just trying to get you to pay a chunk of cash for their training...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    juliaann replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with triquee. I enjoyed taking my A&P seperate. I feel like I learned a lot from both classes, and didn't have a problem pulling 'A's in both of them. I don't feel like I missed out at...

    Starting CNA Class on Monday Help!

    juliaann replied to ccasey013's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You'll be fine, ccasey! Being a CNA is *hard work* sure---but it's not worth stressing about or being intimidated by! Your first day will likely be pretty low-key, introductions, overview, saftey,...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    juliaann replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine are 4 credit hour classes each, and each have a lab. In anatomy our lab consisted of dissections and playing with models, testing our blood type and hematocrit; in physio our lab is more like...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    juliaann replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to take my a&p seperate, so my take on this is slightly different. In anatomy, I *hated* the nervous system, but in physiology, I love it! It just clicked, and I aced the neurophysiology...

    How can I study/take prerequisites for nursing program.?

    juliaann replied to sudha0725's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any community college should offer those basic classes. Why don't you just take them at the school you want to go to nursing school at? That way you'll be sure the credits transfer, and you'll have...

    PCT shift report paper

    juliaann replied to LocoStrange's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hmm, when I worked the floor, we just printed the nursing worksheets the nurses used for giving report, and only paid attention to the things that mattered to us (diet, vs, fsbs, drains, activity...

    When did it start getting so difficult to get into Nursing School?

    juliaann replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure a lot of this depends on your location. I haven't found it difficult at all to get into nursing school. But I also worked very hard on my pre-reqs (and previous BA degree) to earn an...

    what is your overnight policy for family members in a double room?

    juliaann replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    All our med/surg rooms are doubles, and we only allow 1 family member/guest to stay overnight when there are 2 patients IF the family member/guest is of the same sex as the patients, AND if both...

    I Need Yur Advice Please

    juliaann replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    Well, do you want to be a FNP or an RN? If you do the ADN program, do you think you'd want to do an MSN after? I think it comes down to what you really want, and what it's worth for you. :)...

    Would You Feel Comfortable Doing This?

    juliaann replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I would do it if I were qualified and my state allowed it. And sometimes unrelated people have the same (less than common) last name. My husband's oral surgeon shares our last name - I've never met...

    How can I get financial aid for an RN when I already have a Bachelors degree?

    juliaann replied to skl3783's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you put in your FAFSA? Did you really get no aid? Having a previous Bachelor's should not prevent you from getting aid - I have a previous BA and have been told I can expect to have more than...

    How do you wear your hair for work?

    juliaann replied to ChasingRain's topic in General Nursing

    I like mine short (a little longer than chin length), flat ironed, with a thin elastic headband to keep my long bangs and the sides out of my face. It's also just long enough that sometimes I do two...

    Out of State education

    juliaann replied to Serendipia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you can attend school anywhere - as long as it's an accredited, recognized school - and practice as an RN in a different state. All RNs take the same exam to be licensed. BUT you have to *take*...
