    Would you please recommend some states with better job market?

    juliaann replied to b_m_prosepct's topic in General Nursing

    Howdy neighbor! I'm also a recent Tulsa transplant and am surprisingly enjoying it a lot! I got a great job at a hospital fairly easily as a CNA, and I'm confident that if there are openings when I...

    Getting "burnt out"

    juliaann replied to asun21ta's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If the filing thing is causing people from getting the follow-up treatment they need - it needs to be addressed. And in a more significant way than a group meeting with the DON. There needs to be...

    All Work and No Play Make Me a Dull Girl...

    juliaann replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haha, I love coffee. I usually have 1 large travel mug in the morning, and then 2 or 3 more when I get to work at 3pm - that will last me until 11p, but doesn't keep me awake when I'm trying to get...

    How to make A&P reading less boring

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

    Does highlighting or underlining as you go work for you? That keeps me on my spot in the text, and I try to pick out the imporant parts of a sentence/paragraph/section to underline - even if I never...

    Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

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

    Only you can decide what's worth your money and time. For me, yes it was/is. In addition to having a great learning experience and a hands-on healthcare job that pays the bills okay, I've been all but...

    Am I hired?

    juliaann replied to bbie17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would think he took the copies to run a background check. If so, it doesn't mean you're hired, but it's better than a handshake and a "don't call us, we'll call you." Hoping for the

    juliaann replied to studentstorm's topic in General Nursing

    I love this thread. The first thing I do when I get to work is fill up my 22oz. mug. My hospital has the best instant coffee makers in the lobbies and breakrooms - so yay for free! I like my coffee...

    younger generation of nurses and blackberries?

    juliaann replied to stephva1008's topic in General Nursing

    My nurse manager does the same. We all find it very effective and are always 'in the know' of things she needs us to know. I appreciate it, since she's often leaving as I get here for my shift, and...

    At what point can you go from CNA to Student Nurse?

    juliaann replied to amanda1266's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, they hire nursing students as Nurse Externs or Nurse Graduates. Nurse Externs are in their last 2 semesters of their nursing program, and they work closely with staff RNs in one...

    juliaann replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    I love DOs. I work at the teaching hospital for the osteopathic med school in my area. Maybe I just work with great docs, but I looove my docs and haven't been very impressed with the MDs from nearby...

    Do you identify yourself as a nurse when you or your family are a patient?

    juliaann replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, I sure do! I'll never have to buy another pen in my life at this rate. I have a fantastic Integrilin pen that's my current favorite. Vendors and med reps are fun.

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

    I strongly agree with Heathers21. If you weren't starting nursing school in the fall, I'd say take micro. But since you ARE starting nursing school in the fall, you need to go in with a strong...

    juliaann replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You just have to experiment. Obviously this method works for you. Now the question is: is having more "free time"/time for other classes worth it to you if it means your studying methods are less...

    What's in your CNA work bag?

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

    I keep deodorant, tampons, and a light fleece jacket in my locker. I wear the hospital's surgery scrubs, so if mine ever get "stuff" on them I can just change into a clean pair. When I was a CNA the...
