Now I know it will be hard work, that I am prepared for... However, since I have been interested in becoming a CNA while going through nursing school I have heard everything from positive experiences to horror stories. One girl told me CNA's basical...

Why would you want to sue the place you work at because of one bad apple? Did she say her work was doing absolutely nothing about it? And *****?? Now calling someone "Dummy" is grounds to get sued? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAH you've GOT to be joking...
Lala27poodles replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing
Wow. How bold of her. I would not have the gall (or the balls lol) to call someone a "dummy" as a nickname that I barely knew! I would even call my best friend that, in a joking manner, as a nickname! What the hell was she thinking? My guess? She...

Forum chat rooms always end up with the same 5 people taking over and making it un-enterable hell for everyone else. Plus, chat rooms can be a little unsafe, you never realllllly know who you're talking to, unless you get a customized one.....Im just...
If you guys want to discuss ABBA, what type of personality you are, and blah blah blah please go do it in PMs. It's really annoying to have to read through all that BS for those of us who are actually trying to keep up with this thing. Kooky Korky, I...
If you can't think of anything intelligent to say, don't bother lol :) edit: See, you proved my point once again below. Do you realize you've replied to this thread more than ANYONE else, and with the most pointless replies, like "I agree!" or "That...
Because I'm not stupid and I KNOW for a fact certain people do. Let me help explain to you what I meant......why in God's name (since I guess we have to bring Him into this....) I feel that way. What OTHER reason would a person have for pointing out ...
Whaaaat??? "This problem continues to grow, and can only lead to major problems." How is it continuing to grow? If anything, it's vastly improving over time, and with the use of spell check type technology. Let's take a look at history, for a momen...
Okay, well, I totally disagree. Spelling has nothing to do with sheer intelligence. A person could have a number of reason they have difficulty spelling: dyslexia, they may be from a foreign country, or they might have a had a realllly poor childho...

Okay, so you refuse to take medication for your self diagnosed illness......? So basically it's up to all of US to change..... If I were you, I would fix the problem from MY end and not BOTHER other people because they choose to wear perfume. I'm su...
Lala27poodles replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing
Okay, yes, perfume can make you sneeze, eyes water, etc... However unless someone has severe problems I highly doubt a perfume would make someone go into anaphylactic shock like someone mentioned earlier. Can you imagine how often the perfume compan...

Every single time? So you haven't had ONE decent student nurse? Why are you even mentoring if all the student nurses are incompetent fools? Okay, I agree that every job on the face of planet has workers that are smart and good, and workers that suck....
Lala27poodles replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing
OKAY ONCE AGAIN. I'm SO SORRY that me telling people they should SET BACK money for an important job that they enjoy has offended so many people. ???? You're right. You should spend that money on whatever you want, and no one ever give you financia...
That is the question. Right now I am a pre-nursing at my local Nashville community college, but I am making great grades, a high A (98) in my A & P, A in my First Aid & CPR, A in my chemistry, A in psychology, and a high C in math (I suck I k...

First of all, you're wrong about food stamps. If you have many children, or can prove that your daily needs cost more than what you make, you can get government assistance. They don't deny starving people.......especially hard working ones. And t...
Lala27poodles replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing
Okay, one MORE time, cause some are still confused I guess. I'm not talking about replacing old glasses with newer, better ones. Im not talking about buying a new car, either. I'm talking about buying things you MUST have to be a nurse. Examples w...
Lala27poodles replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing
Oh okay, so it doesn't matter what you wear, how you look, what you bring with you, or how they get in touch with you? All you have to do is show up and earn money? Hmm. I'm going to have to go ahead and say you and I BOTH know that's not the case...
Lala27poodles replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing
What on EARTH did I say that was annoying or offensive?? If I had offended the OP, I would have gotten an infraction. I didn't. What I said was perfectly correct, true, and NOT offensive. I have been a hiring manager and guess what hon? WE DONT C...
Lala27poodles replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing
I never judged her, I simply said it was a little shocking. My main point was that they DO pay her enough to fix the problem. When a job pays you decent money, they expect you to use that money wisely. That means making you sure you have everything ...
Lala27poodles replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing
First off, I find it a little shocking that, as a working nurse, you can't spare $200......I always thought nurses made decent money. I'm assuming (hoping) it is because you have other financial obligations that are eating up all your money. You di...
Talk to another nursing school, and try to transfer if at all possible. I wouldn't give that school another dime of my money, they sound unreasonable. However, that being said.....don't NOT learn from this. Take something positive away from it. Lea...
Was it frightening? Were you shaky or confident? I've actually used needles on my friends before, and it was fine. I double pierced 3 or 4 of my girlfriend's ears, and it was pretty cool. The one thing that I CANNOT move past is the catheter. Espe...
Lala27poodles replied to Brian's topic in Relations
I should clarify, when I say "old" I mean they've been in the profession for a long time, not necessarily in age.....same with elders. I don't mean elderly people, I mean elders that have been there much longer than me (like in a sorority). Sorry, I...
Lala27poodles replied to Brian's topic in Relations
Psshh. The only thing their is to learn from an old, bitter nurses "eating their young" is to stay away from those nurses, and never become like them if you can help it! This happens is EVERY profession almost, you'll have some elders who are there t...
