    Pregnant nurse: scared of problems with baby from working as a nurse.

    OCNRN63 replied to Nursing2102's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I worked with a few nurses who acted like they were the first females to ever have to work as nurses. "Oh, I can't do this" ""I can't do that" even though they were perfectly capable of doing said...

    OCNRN63 replied to Slipping CMA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It sounds like your boss knows you're going to need more time at first, but has faith that you will be able to pick up after a while. Now you need to have faith in yourself. You can do

    I don't think that would work unless you could convince the doc to backorder the Rx. Otherwise, the original date of the Rx would be after the date of the

    Why are Nurses and CNAs so mean/rude

    OCNRN63 replied to guest05/03/16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've read some of your other posts. Honestly, no one should be making work his/her life, nor thinking about patients all the time during "off time." You mentioned that you were having problems with...

    Yes, I definitely would have gotten him a gift cert. to a nice restaurant or something like that. It's a shame that that kind of support is so

    I have an AA from CC, can I apply for an accelerated BSN program?

    OCNRN63 replied to hollycamillex3's topic in General Nursing

    In most cases, you need to have a bachelors degree in another area to apply for an accelerated BSN, or be a graduate of a diploma/ADN/ASN program (RN). Your degree doesn't sound like it meets the...

    CMA Is it me.

    OCNRN63 replied to Slipping CMA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you're hired, depending on the type of EMR the practice uses there may be a "practice patient" function so you can do just that. That's what we did when we went live with our computer system. I'm...

    Should I use SBAR when rounding with doctors??

    OCNRN63 replied to JustinMars's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly. When doctors are rounding, they are busy (aren't we all, though?). They'll want you to get to the point. I would make sure I had my assessment and results of labs/studies at the ready. I...

    How long did you wait to get Chemo certified?

    OCNRN63 replied to SeaH20RN's topic in Oncology
