  1. Good Dosage Calculation Help

    dannyc12 replied to cupcake231's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Great suggestion. I am going nuts watching my classmates NOT practice their dosage calc. They do one problem, proclaim the subject "easy" then when the exam has any deviation from the format of the...

  2. Finished my first week, took my first exam, got an 80, how bad is that??

    dannyc12 replied to avidhunter3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your post sounds very familiar. The great news is that if you had went with your first answer, you would have done better! Remember that. Nursing school tests are different and people have to get...

  3. resigned did'nt get my unused vacation time in check

    dannyc12 replied to irish123's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they can legally jerk you around. I used to work for a notoriously penny pinching healthcare org that did the same thing. I called the corporate HR department to let them know I was quitting and...

  4. CNA Personalities

    dannyc12 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have no doubt that you are being honest and accurate about the CNAs you have worked with. However, the fault for the situation lies with management. They are the ones that create the situation...

  5. newbie problems

    dannyc12 replied to carrie2222's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oops OP, you went too far. Not a bad troll for a while

  6. Anyone offer a CLEAR explanation of IV solutions?

    dannyc12 replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    Fluid and Electrolytes Made Incredibly Easy has very good, easy to understand information on this. This thread reminds me of the "I don't see why I need to know chemistry to be a nurse!"

  7. Will work cna for food

    dannyc12 replied to Mr. Evans's topic in General Nursing

    Your chances are probably a lot better after you eat some dirt (I mean gain some experience) in a nursing

  8. CNA class and practicing on your classmates

    dannyc12 replied to cute2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  9. Do you think there will be more nursing jobs by the time I graduate in 2013-14?

    dannyc12 replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely.

  10. H1N1 vaccine, yes or no?

    dannyc12 replied to artistnurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sure, ask yourself a few questions: 1. How many of your classmates have siblings that died of polio? 2. How many have disabilities from polio? 3. How many children do you know that died of smallpox?...

  11. Family support through nursing school

    dannyc12 replied to LindsayMae's topic in General Students

    It is difficult from your post to tell the source of the stress. It appears that you are relying on others, especially your boyfriend to "take care" of your stress for you. Can you be more specific...

  12. if in doubt of code status should CPR be done ?

    dannyc12 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    From your description, the director of your facility is a moron and the staff of your facility is incompetent. Nurses have a responsibility to know the code status of their patients. It's kind of a...

  13. Factory worker one day ... nurse the next?

    dannyc12 replied to helikias's topic in General Nursing

    What I would like to know is what in the world a useless, good for nothing, poorly dressed FAILED librarian could ever offer the prestigious, challenging field of professional nursing? Oh, and how...

  14. help me KEEP my license plz?...

    dannyc12 replied to rickysyfee's topic in General Nursing

    My facility pulls the same nonsense. CNAs and floor nurses pass and collect food trays, room trays and drinks while residents are ignored in their rooms. A while back we had a state inspection...

  15. CNA Personalities

    dannyc12 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've been wondering why I am always the one in the area when the poop hits the

  16. CNA Personalities

    dannyc12 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I thought the same thing! I'll take credit for the "Workhorse" tag. Better than the other options. I'd like to add "The Scam Artist" - can always figure out ways to avoid work at the same time...

  17. How long did it take you to find a job?

    dannyc12 replied to vcurrin02's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As soon as I gave up on getting a job at my choice of hospital with no experience, I was hired at the first nursing home I strolled into and asked for an

  18. Why Do CNA's cannabilize each other, and what can be done to fix it?

    dannyc12 replied to GCTMT's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Profits. The reason CNAs cannibalize each other is due to incompetent

  19. CNA's want to share salary info?

    dannyc12 replied to kimmy436's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Way to go! I'm a year behind you in school. I had zero experience as a CNA and started in 2008 at a MN nursing home at $10.25/hr. I was told I was not eligible for pay increases based on past...

  20. CNA A Horror Story

    dannyc12 replied to rocknroll01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Of course, neither option is easy, but if you wanted an easy job you would not be a CNA. But the only feasible option here is to stick to the procedures. If they fire you for this report them to...

  21. Did CNA work help in nursing school?

    dannyc12 replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in General Students

    Experience as a CNA was extremely helpful during my first clinical experience. A few of my non-CNA classmates were struggling to tears with just interacting with a patient, let alone getting them...

  22. A New Prespective on the Nursing Profession

    dannyc12 replied to whitedoginwi's topic in General Nursing

    Then she ought to know better. The comments you forward reek of the Fundamental Attribution Error. There are much better informed, more reasoned discussions of the nursing profession freely...

  23. How healthy and fit are you?

    dannyc12 replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    I am decidedly unfit, but able to perform my job as a CNA on a busy TCU extremely well - much better than more fit coworkers. Same goes for nursing school; many classmates are in better shape, but...

  24. Chubby Nursing Student****

    dannyc12 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in General Students

    This works for me. If I keep a food diary, I lose or maintain my weight. If I don't, I gain

  25. do you usually KNOW (sense), after an interview if you got the job?

    dannyc12 replied to ajaxgirl's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Don't you? You have jobs you work while living at home in high school, you have jobs you do during college, you interview for internships while in college, there are summer jobs between school years,...
