  2. Toluidine Blue...

    CaitlinLiz replied to deftonez188's topic in Forensic

    Interesting! That is how I originally thought the dye would be used... although, in my mentorship program it was drilled into me that we "never" paint... only highlight what is already evident to make...

  3. Toluidine Blue...

    CaitlinLiz replied to deftonez188's topic in Forensic

    I am looking to understand why so much dye is being applied that you need to actively remove it. You are rolling it on over a suspected injury, and not painting it all over,

  6. Advice needed about clinical instructor

    CaitlinLiz replied to RNbethy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What I understood from your post is that you know that you are unsure of yourself sometimes, and that you want to do better. That is the first step forward. It sounds to me like your instructor might...

    CaitlinLiz replied to curlybear's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I came on AllNurses this evening looking for an example of a focus note and found yours to be very helpful. It was one of those light bulb moments for me. So thank you for the example!

  9. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    CaitlinLiz replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    That is a really good question. I have noticed people doing this as well. I think personally, that being in nursing school is like an honor. When someone asks what you are going to school for, and you...

    CaitlinLiz replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Is it really necessary for you to continue to talk through the lecture AFTER the teacher has asked you multiple times to be quiet? For goodness sake... TURN OFF your cell phone... is the text your...

  11. Nursing Pin for $115

    CaitlinLiz replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, something like a nursing pin from graduation is a big deal. It is something that I would spend however much money as necessary on. That pin holds all of your memories from school, and...

    CaitlinLiz replied to KimberlyRN89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Unfortunately, yes. I have been a CNA for years, and every facility I have worked at in two different states pushes for their employees to show up for their scheduled shifts, sick or not. There was a...

    CaitlinLiz replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

  15. Clinical instructors that aren't fond of one another?

    CaitlinLiz replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Yes, yes and YES! We have 4 or 5 different instructors, all of which have different views on things and teach things a little differently. They disagree often and a lot of times make it known to the...

  19. Should I try to work as CNA before I get my RN?

    CaitlinLiz replied to nolamor's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I 110% agree with ctmed. Being a CNA before going into nursing school does many, many good things for you. A few of those things being introducing you to the work, getting you a head start on patient...

    CaitlinLiz replied to Dorali's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At one of my previous jobs, there was an aide on day shift that would leave with one specific patient to take them to dialysis, but I am not so sure about whether that was an approved event, or not....

  24. First day of class- check! But I wanted to laugh @ the videos!!!!

    CaitlinLiz replied to lilbearzmom's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I totally agree as far as the movies go. I used to have to take no-doze pills to keep myself from falling asleep sitting up. I think you will do just fine, although hands on is DEFINITELY more fun...
