    Ev1987 replied to ccusick0408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm like the last one to post on this thread, but I first took micro in fall '12 and didn't pass. I just finished re-taking the course during summer I 13', and passed with a 'B'. Microbiology does not...

  2. Does my resident have the right to refuse getting weighed?

    Ev1987 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have a resident who on average weighs over 300 pounds. She has an order by the NP to be weighed every morning before breakfast. I have to transfer her from the bed to a wheelchair, and then weigh...

    Ev1987 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wishing you guys the best of luck on your future tests and quizzes. Mine won't be until two weeks from now, and it is on the first 3 chapters. So far, lab is pretty fun. Just looking at pathogens and...

    Ev1987 replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow... I'm a little late! Anyway, good luck to everyone this semester. I start lecture and lab on the 8th. I hear my professor is kinda difficult, so I've already written out a weekly schedule to keep...

  6. College Algebra Summer II... can anyone provide any advice or tips?

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UPDATE: I just found out yesterday that I passed college algebra! I feel very relieved about that. Math is surely not my friend. 'Khan Academy' and 'Purple Math' were a big help. Now, I am in the...

  7. College Algebra Summer II... can anyone provide any advice or tips?

    Ev1987 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey guys! I will be taking up college algebra as a summer course starting early July. I wish that my timing could have been different, but I just wanted to get most of my complex courses (A&P I,...

  8. College Algebra Summer II... can anyone provide any advice or tips?

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you very much for your advice! I am looking forward to having 'no life what-so-ever' during the next few weeks. I just hope that I can continue to stay focused and discipline

  9. Got a 4.0 this semester!

    Ev1987 replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I am taking a summer class at the moment. If I score an 'A', then I will have a cumulative gpa of 4.0. I doubt that I will be able to maintain a 4.0 after the end of fall, but normally at my...

  10. Did anyone think that A&P II was an easier course than A&P I?

    Ev1987 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a rumor in my school stating that A&P II is an easier course to take than A&P I. I (of course) am hoping this is correct, but I just don't know. For anyone out there who has already...

  11. racism?

    Ev1987 replied to dcw132003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Racism is alive and well. Although, after hearing these rumors, I would suggest staying on your best behavior and just try to focus on getting the best grades possible. Many people deal with prejudice...

  12. Guess what i saw today??!

    Ev1987 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ... my resident eating her own poop. The first time I witnessed that in my short cna career. It was all over her face, her hair, bedsheets, nightgown, diaper and left hand. She was sucking her...

  13. The War On Fat

    Ev1987 replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Hate and Discrimination does exist towards overweight people. I am not surprised that a woman would say such a thing (even though she was wrong and extremely rude for saying so aloud). Unconsciously,...

  14. Did anyone think that A&P II was an easier course than A&P I?

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UPDATE: I just found out that I passed A&P II this semester. From my experience A&P II was more challenging than A&P I. I do not mind trying to memorize bones and tissues. In fact, the...

  15. Making sense of metabolic alkalosis...

    Ev1987 replied to MPKH's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested in reading about the possible theories. My spring semester just ended, and VERY briefly, the topic of 'metabolic alkalosis' just came up in one of my last few A&P II chapters....

  16. College algebra MAT1105 is now replacing CHEM as one of the prereq at Broward College

    Ev1987 replied to nursejosie21's topic in Florida Nursing

    At my school, I have to take college algebra, Chem 110 AND microbiology. Hoping the money-grubbing snakes won't add another pre-req to the list by

  17. Guess what i saw today??!

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The point of my thread was to simply express an incident that I witnessed today at work. I was not making fun of the resident. I am not here to bully anyone. I was making light of a situation that...

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you for posting. Yikes. Seems like I need to wear a bullet-proof vest and a football helmet the next I post on this

  19. Guess what i saw today??!

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldn't just watch a resident eat her poop. That is

  20. Guess what i saw today??!

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You really shouldn't be so quick to judge others. As I walked into the room, I saw stuff her fingers in her mouth. How do you know that I didn't intervene? I cleaned off her fingers, mouth and her...

  21. Guess what i saw today??!

    Ev1987 replied to Ev1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hoping she won't get too sick, I cleaned out her mouth and reported the incident to the nurse. Reserving poop-filled cups takes it to a whole new level. That lady's

  25. "Wellness Nurse" - but not a NURSE position.

    Ev1987 replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like an LPN job to me. If I am correct, there are times when even nurses must perform the duties of a CNA when
