    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    Eep! I take for granted everyone being from the United States and knowing what the coin called a quarter is. :imbar A quarter is a circle of about 3 cm in diameter. I hope that makes more sense to...

  5. Required Reading List

    shel_wny replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Man...I wish my husband would read this. But you know what...it wouldn't do a single thing. He talks about how he's going to die before 45 and it bothers me so much. He avoids stories and...

  6. Drug Testing

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    HAHA! I am now being trained to be a CNA at a LTC and they don't drug test - nurses, CNAs, or anyone! Amazing. I actually kinda like it. I feel trusted and I feel like everything begins with honesty...

  8. Need help again. UUUUUUUUUUUUH!

    shel_wny replied to Ted1's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe you are supposed to isolate each subjective noun at the first of the sentence and just forget the "and" word altogether. So..."The soft tissue and bowel lumen MEASURES 8 cm in length and...

  9. where can I find cheap nursing scrubs?

    shel_wny replied to amyrae76's topic in General Nursing

    Ok...I finally found out that Dickie's talls have a 32 inch inseam. Too short for you it seems, studentNY. I'm not sure how tall Lydias are in general as I've only bought different brands from Lydias...

  10. where can I find cheap nursing scrubs?

    shel_wny replied to amyrae76's topic in General Nursing

    For nursing pants I have no idea. Lydias doesn't look like they sell nursing whites. By the way, how are nursing pants different from scrubs? I honestly have no clue. :imbar

  11. where can I find cheap nursing scrubs?

    shel_wny replied to amyrae76's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm let me go check mine out and see if they say much on them. I'm 5'11" and I have pretty long legs. I SO hear you about the not being able to wear mens jeans anymore. I haven't had kids but ever...

  12. where can I find cheap nursing scrubs?

    shel_wny replied to amyrae76's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering the very same thing and I gave Lydias Uniforms at http://www.lydiasuniforms.com/ a shot. I just received my Dickie's flare pants in a large tall and I'm in love with them! Soooo soft...

  13. Failed the stupid CNA test again...for what???

    shel_wny replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    I'm supposed to take the CNA clinical test in a few weeks and I'm soooo nervous because of stories like yours. I've heard of people failing for things like you're talking about and less! How am I ever...

  14. New LPN troubled with CNA's

    shel_wny replied to TBLPN's topic in General Nursing

    As a CNA myself...ouch. We're not all irresponsible attitude problems, you know. Some of us are student nurses who are there to do only good and wish to gain more experience and skills in the nursing...

  15. Need advice as a family member

    shel_wny replied to UGAmomX3's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I can't offer you advice as I'm just a mere student/CNA trainee. However, I can offer you my comfort and support and the promise that I will never let that happen to anyone...

  16. One Worried lil' CNA in Training

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, day 3 of training has come and gone and I feel better about all this. However...perineal care twice daily in addition to when incontinent. Holy smokes! I hope I can get used to the smells of...

  17. Racism still living freely in elderly...

    shel_wny replied to mandykal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have bad memories of visiting my great-grandmother in her nursing home about 13 years ago. It smelled of urine and she flailed her arms in her bed trying to hit the nurse assistants and calling them...

  18. Do you skip a lot of classes if attendance isn't taken? Be honest!

    shel_wny replied to Star Trek Nerd's topic in General Students

    Nah, I never miss class. I find that if I'm there for every class, alert and paying attention, I need to study very little. And less studying and more time for play is always a plus. :)

  19. Drug Testing

  20. Drug Testing

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely! *slaps you a highfive*

  21. Drug Testing

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    When I was about 15 I went to my first concert - Rob Zombie and Korn. We had nosebleed seats and it was in an arena. Near the end of the show there was this thick green haze all around us. We were...

  22. Drug Testing

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    And I've seen way too many alcoholics kill my friends by driving drunk, ruining families, and stumbling about and slurring their words in the workplace. Like anything there's a low range and a high...

  23. Drug Testing

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    Smoking pot ONCE IN A WHILE can be extremely soothing and a great release. I'm not surprised that overstretched, overworked, unappreciated medical staff would do so. And I am not talking about the...

  24. Drug Testing

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    If I badly need the job or the education at the institute that tests I'll bite my lip and submit. I do not disagree with the paid drug testing itself for those in a critical position of care such as...

  25. Drug Testing

    shel_wny replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    No posts from Canadian nurses yet, so far as I can see. I married a Canadian and he loves to laugh at the tight-lipped Americans who fear marijuana yet think alcohol is just fine. I of course join him...
