  1. Any Peds nurses out there? I have a few ?s to ask...

    KareBear0609 replied to RNAngelus's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't have any advice to offer you because I'm just a CNA, but I imagine how stressed you must be. Our nurses are on the floor by themselves to take care of SIXTY residents. They are constantly...

  3. Unusual physician order

    KareBear0609 replied to sweetnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse so I don't see doctors orders. But us CNA's did get in trouble once because the doctor wrote an order to organize the resident's

  4. Things you "should" be taught in nursing school

    KareBear0609 replied to KimberlyRN89's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that is something that should be taught in nursing school. I took a Patient Care Technician class last Spring semester at my CC and we were even taught how to do

  7. Help, I am very conflicted about turning peer into nursing board

    KareBear0609 replied to auntie72's topic in General Nursing

    Saying "snitches get stitches" doesn't sound like you have a college education, or any education at all for that matter. Grow up. I'm glad to see you're not letting your education get in the way of...

    He is a union construction worker. It's the union part of it that makes him so much

  10. You really think nurses make alot of money? Let me give you something to think about

    KareBear0609 replied to diosa78's topic in General Nursing

    I ALWAYS tell my husband that I will never make as much as him. I am not a nurse yet, but when I obtain my BSN, I STILL won't make what he does. He makes $40/hr and doesn't even have a HIGH SCHOOL...

  11. The frightening ignorance of teens having babies

    KareBear0609 replied to ShariDCST's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, abstinence is taught by schools. At least that is how it was when I was in school which wasn't very long ago. And I think that is the problem, abstinence isn't effective. Preteens and teens...

  12. The frightening ignorance of teens having babies

    KareBear0609 replied to ShariDCST's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is why, at 23 years of age, I am the (non-biological) mother to an eight year old boy whose mother didn't want him anymore. I married his father and have been taking care of him for more than...

  14. Is it possible to work FT and do a BSN program FT?

    KareBear0609 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not in nursing school yet, but I know enough to tell you that I highly doubt you will be able to survive nursing school (while doing a good job) and working your current schedule. You get off...

  15. Passing narcs with the med tech?

    KareBear0609 replied to Glina's topic in General Nursing

    There is an assisted living facility near my home, I have never worked there, but someone I work with used to work there. She was employed as a CNA, but she states that all she did was passed meds....

    KareBear0609 replied to CCFCP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Seems like they are mistaking your kindness for weakness. Write 'em

  17. From a student, to, hospital floor nurses...

    KareBear0609 replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    "I will make your life a breeze." I highly doubt that. Student nurses don't yet have the skills or knowledge to make a RN's "life a breeze". I'm not a nurse yet, but I'm just

  18. Passing narcs with the med tech?

    KareBear0609 replied to Glina's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how this is legal. I thought med techs/aides passed out medications that were preprepared/prepackaged and did not touch or count anything.

  19. Passing narcs with the med tech?

    KareBear0609 replied to Glina's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is the same thing as a medication aide - which is basically just one class to be able to pass meds. From my understanding med aides/techs aren't allowed to touch the medication, only hand...

    My thoughts exactly. Good

  23. Male nurse in L&D

    KareBear0609 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have seen two births. I never said there was anything sexual about a birth, so I don't know where you got that from. Oh, and the two births that I participated in weren't smelly, so I don't know...

  25. Male nurse in L&D

    KareBear0609 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree - VERY well said. Put male nurses in L&D for those who don't have a preference, but leave it up to the patient to decide if they want a male taking care of them. And... what are the...
