  2. Favorite "Lay Terms" For Diagnoses

    MissJulie replied to OleMissRN's topic in General Nursing

    Due to the fact that I work in a pain management office, mine are mostly related to narcotic medications. Some of my favorites: Zoma for Soma Anal-gel-eesick for Analgesic Naircotic for Narcotic...

  3. Scrubs Make Me Crazy (long rant)

    MissJulie replied to coast2coast's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm 5'7" with a 42" chest, I don't know my waist and hip measurements and I don't care to! Anyway, I've found the most success with Cherokee Workwear pants, they seem to be cut for gals with hips,...

  5. Questions about how it's like to be a CNA

    MissJulie replied to klt324's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First, I want to note that I work as a CNA at a doctor's office, so some don't apply 1. I love my job as a CNA, and since I'm at an office and not a hospital, I have different responsibilities and...

  6. How do you let a friend know a nursing position isn't what she thinks it is?

    MissJulie replied to LRyder's topic in General Students

    In my neck of the woods, we don't even have PCTs, as the majority of what they would do is done by CNAs, then other responsibilities are divided between other staff (phlebotomy by lab, etc.). I...

  7. Which Job would YOU rather have??

    MissJulie replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I do work as a CNA and Billing and Coding Tech in an office right now, working four 10s. I think once I get my nursing degree, I'd be better off working in a hospital setting...

  8. is there a good way to get blood pressure right?

    MissJulie replied to italy's topic in General Students

    The way that my CNA instructor taught us was to make sure to feel for the pulse of the brachial artery first, so that you know where to place the stethoscope. Then, make sure to firmly place the...

  9. How did you decide to teach?

    MissJulie posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The title basically says it all, how did you decide to go into nursing education? I ask this because I am currently in nursing school (ADN program) and am day dreaming about possible job choices in...

  10. How long do you study...

    MissJulie replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    We can't record the lectures, and we have a "team taught" class where each unit is taught by a different instructor. That said, we've all had to come up with our own ways to study and learn the...

    MissJulie replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

  13. can you work as a nurse while beeing rn student? and if so..as what....cna?...thanks!

    MissJulie replied to eryna's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm not 100% sure I understand the question, so I restate it as it seems to me... It seems like the question is "Can a person work as a nurse while studying to become an RN. If so, would it be as a...

  14. Nursing noob. So lost and confused..?

    MissJulie replied to rileyc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Usually the prereqs are part of your gen ed courses, and their designed so that when you complete your degree, you'll have the courses needed to graduate with that degree. Also, when it comes to...

  15. Do you wear mostly solids or prints?

    MissJulie replied to cobee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  18. How did *you* rock it today?

    MissJulie replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    Our check-offs are done by one instructor and two students at a time. We had catheter check-offs and not only did I pass, but I could explain why the other student failed... Thanks to youtube.com and...

  19. RN would like other opinions from nurses on this awkward MD/insurance issue

    MissJulie replied to pensivern's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an RN, yet, but I can empathize with this, however, my experience is with a dentist... Back in July, I had a tooth pulled. It had broken, and my insurance doesn't cover a cap on a molar, so...

  20. Nursing noob. So lost and confused..?

    MissJulie replied to rileyc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I live in Kentucky, so it may be a little different for me then it will be for you... First the NCLEX-RN is for either ADN or BSN grads, and is the only way to officially become an "RN." If you pass...

  21. Rules of the Dr.office

  22. RN's in dr. offices

    MissJulie replied to weluv3's topic in General Nursing

    As far as a plain old general care doctor, RNs probably wouldn't be hired. The office I work at has one RN, she's our medical supervisor/manager, but then there's two CMAs and me, the CNA. At my...

  23. Any of you make excellent grades but suck at skills?

    MissJulie replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    Actually, I'm the opposite! In class I'm an average student, but in clinicals and lab, I feel a lot better! I guess I'm just a hands-on learner

  24. Listen up future Nurses. I have some news...

    MissJulie replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    First, thanks for the "heads up," but most of us already know this! All anyone has to do is to get on AN and it hits you in the face... But, as with any employment area, it depends on your location....

  25. CNA issue

    MissJulie replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Speaking as a CNA and student nurse, I think I may be able to add a little insight. Now, there are a few differences between myself and this particular person, from what I've read in your post....
