    Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    juliaann replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There is a difference in pay because there is a difference in responsibilities and required

    Those that prefer to work with men

    juliaann replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Getting along with your co-workers is an important skill that requires *constant* effort. There will always be difficult people in your work environment, whether it is male- or female-dominated. How...

    Ethical dilemmas encountered by nurses

    juliaann replied to julschris7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wonder if we work at the same place? Haha, we have a cardiologist with *NO* people skills. He is blunt and rude and doesn't care. We've had patients leave AMA due to conversations with this doc....

    I feel TERRIBLE!

    juliaann replied to SNjamie's topic in General Nursing

    Do NOT blame yourself for this. It is not your fault, and there's likely nothing you could have done that would have made a significant difference in whatever the outcome is. You *may* have been...

    How flexible is your schedule?

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

    My hospital doesn't have per diem, just PRN. From my understanding it's just two terms for the same thing...I'm pretty sure facilities offer per diem or PRN, not both. Maybe someone else can...

    Please,please give me some guidance here...

    juliaann replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said last time, you just need experience. Experience builds confidence. As to "who is right" - if your preceptors are doing things two different ways, find out if there's a policy on it. If...

    BSM (not BSN) and RN Degree v.s. CNM

    juliaann replied to AshleyAnn123's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with the previous comments. cnm requires a masters-level degree. check out this site: http://www.midwife.org/sitefiles/position/mandatory_degree_req_for_entry_midwifery_practice_7_09.pdf and...

    How flexible is your schedule?

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

    Hey neighbor! I'm also in Oklahoma - we are fortunate to have a good job market! I've found that the only thing that works well for an ever-changing schedule like it sounds like you would need is...

    Looking for Accelerated BSN - TEAS NOT REQUIRED

    juliaann replied to Tina LMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I'm applying to (University of Oklahoma) does not require any entrance testing for their accelerated BSN (or traditional BSN for that matter). Admission is based on overall GPA, percentage...

    To the RN I just had hospital orientation with today....

    juliaann replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    Goodness, this makes me so sad. I'm so glad I'm not a med/surg staff CNA anymore - not because of the sometimes unsavory aide duties or workload, but because of the nurse/aide animosity. It's...

    Big Booty Judy

    juliaann replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Unfortunately I don't get to choose my own scrubs, I wear the hospital issue surgery scrubs and change in our locker room when I get to work and leave. They're definitely not made for a feminine...

    Big Booty Judy

    juliaann replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wear bike shorts instead of panties under my scrub pants. It prevents the wedgie, prevents the dreaded upper inner thigh rub *shudder,* and slims slightly. I always wear a tank top under my scrub...

    CNA expired... retaking test without retaking the class

    juliaann replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, that's interesting about Minnesota's rules! If I were you, I'd totally study on my own, practice a little bit, and then go for it! Like you said, even if you had to retest it would be cheaper -...

    About to start applying for CNA job!!!

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

    When I apply for jobs, I apply online, and then follow up with a phone call 5 business days later. If/when asked to come in for an interview, I bring my resume then, to leave with the interviewer....

    CNA expired... retaking test without retaking the class

    juliaann replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You should check with your state's registry. In my state, if you let your license expire, you have to retake a course, redo your clinicals, get your permission to test by completing your course, take...

    I pay for these classes and these people won't shut up

    juliaann replied to happy2learn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've found if I sit in the front and center of a lecture hall/classroom/lab, I'm not distracted by the other students. If you don't feel comfortable talking to the students directly, maybe you could...

    Newbie Question about credits

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

    The best way to answer this question would be to make an appointment with a nursing advisor in the program you want to attend. They'll go over all the pre-requisite requirements, and let you know if...

    Can i still find a job as a cna?

    juliaann replied to y&rfan84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If that's your only healtcare experience, I would still put it on your resume and applications. You can always request your potential future employer not contact this former employer - but be...

    Where do you keep your stuff?

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

    I was dropped off for my CNA clinicals (my husband and I share a car), and I knew I wouldn't have a safe place to store my stuff, so I just didn't bring anything. I had my badge clipped to my scrubs...

    Do hospitals hire small framed/ petite CNAs?

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

    No. Good luck!

    Nurse/Surgical Tech question please help

    juliaann replied to lovesunsets's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, no, working as a surg tech does not make you any more prepared for nursing school than any other healthare experience would. It certainly doesn't prepare you to bypass nursing school...

    juliaann replied to AtACrossRoads's topic in General Nursing

    grading practice in nursing school?

    juliaann replied to mimi225's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I'm finding this a little unclear, maybe you can clarify a little - and if my comment is totally beside the point, ignore me. Is your instructor saying this document is a part of your...
