  1. Do CNAs make for better nursing students?

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with VickyRN. In my first year of nursing school so many of my classmates were CNA's or in the medical profession already. The first 2 semesters they had it ALL together and were EXTREMELY...

  2. I need a job!! ANY job!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think that it would be that big of a deal either. I guess it is to some employers. :0 I'm hopeful though. The right job will come through for

  3. I need a job!! ANY job!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm venting. So my problem is that I can't find a job...anywhere, it seems. I'm usually optimistic and bubbly, but today I'm just annoyed. I feel like it's waaay too hard for me to find a job and that...

  5. I need a job!! ANY job!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. The only reason that I mention that I'm in school is because there would be an employment gap. Many applications ask the reason for separation from previous employer AND if they can contact...

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I am open to ALL suggestions and any job opportunity that I can find. McDonald's even has my application. I'm not above flipping burgers. Thanks for the

  7. should I withdraw??

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to say what you should do because we don't know how many more classes you need to take or how many you've failed already or what your school mandates. Some schools only allow 2 withdrawals...

  8. should I withdraw??

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    In my program a "C" is passing, so a "C" is better than a "W". A "C" means that you can move on to the next semester. You can't do that with a "W". C's get

  9. I need a job!! ANY job!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! Certainly tempted! That would definitely be the thing to do. This is a LARGE grocery chain on the East Coast. I couldn't believe my ears! She even explained her rationale for wanting to hire a...

  10. Stop! I don't want someone like you touching me!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to Seth O Scope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I haven't had it happen to me. I've taken care of patients who had Alzheimer's or were very, very old and I felt like they preferred that I were not the one caring for them. With the Alzheimers...

  11. Catheters!!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl posted a topic in General Nursing

    My mom and dad saw the commercial with the lady who was talking about how she has to re-use catheters. My mom wanted to know why someone would have to use a catheter EVERYDAY. I understand about the...

    I'd like to thank you all for your responses! I learned a few new things.

  13. Families and Healthcare: What Do You Think?

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to DREAMSDOCOMETRUE0610's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking. Now the family members that visit aren't necessarily family members. Often times the patient's room will be filled with people and it appears that it's family, but it could very well be...

  14. Verbal Offer??

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in General Nursing

    Like everyone else stated...Don't give a notice until you know for sure that you have this job. When they give you something in writing with your starting salary and date to start, then you have the...

  15. Grades are Posted!!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl posted a topic in General Nursing

    I took my exam and I passed (84%)!! I'm so excited. The problem is that out of 50 students in my class, only 15 of us passed. One person got an A and 14 of us got high C's. Everyone else failed....

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for sharing. I'm glad that you passed! Congrats to you!! I don't know how the final scores were tallied or what method she used. I'm sure she will address that next week in class. All in all,...

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your reply. You're right. The exam is over and for those who still have questions, they can make an appointment with the Professor. I won't be able to supply anyone with an answer that...

  18. Grades are Posted!!

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! And you're right, this doesn't usually occur in Nursing school. I'm in my final semester and there is NO extra credit, points or anything. Your score is your score. This is extremely rare....

  22. Disaster Triage

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you both for replying. I took my exam and I actually got my triage questions correct. Thanks!

  23. Disaster Triage

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok. I'm a little fuzzy on triage and disaster management. I understand the RPM but I can't seem to find anything that tells me what to do in a situation with children. If I have a 9month old, then...

    AKA_Glamour_Pearl posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, so my class will be presenting our case studies next week. My clinical instructor asked that we be creative with our presentations because she doesn't want to hear three hours of reading from...
