  1. What do you ACTUALLY DO in clinicals?

    MissJulie replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    I take my nursing fundamentals final tomorrow (wish me luck) and during our clinicals, we did vital signs, physical assessments, bed baths, clothing and bed linen changes, med passes, catheters, d/c...

  2. Can a Nursing student cover an MA?

    MissJulie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    That is basically what I do, without the phlebotomy (we have an in-house tech that does all of the draws). I started out in reception, then moved to billing (in the beginning, the office wasn't taking...

  3. Why hire RN's when other disciplines can do the job

    MissJulie replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is that nurses have lost a lot of their/our skills. Someone actually asked me if a nurse was allowed to do an ABG because they're not respiratory! Of course, I've also had people ask me if...

  4. How would you respond to this??

    MissJulie replied to nurse678's topic in General Nursing

    Granted, this is coming from a student, but from my current view point, working with one patient at a time kills me, but when you consider that nurses have 5+ patients each, for 12 hr shifts, the...

  5. so I found out...

    MissJulie replied to mommywithplenty's topic in General Students

    I say let it go! Think of it this way, since you were discussing something with the instructor, and I'm assuming that you were holding your own in the discussion, it's possible that he was jealous...

  6. So besides nursing school, what do you all do in your spare time?

    MissJulie replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

    Between school and work, I have no free time! I do manage to find time to keep teaching Sunday School, though, because the time studying the Bible and preparing the lesson helps to keep me centered :)...

  7. nonparenteral v. enteral

    MissJulie replied to Zaptastic's topic in General Students

    Nonparenteral is oral meds (pills, capsules, syrups, etc.), topical meds (ointments, patches like nitro), suppositories (lady partsl and rectal), etc. Pareneteral is anything injected into the body:...

  8. No soap?

    MissJulie replied to autumn_october's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard of that... The LTC I was at for clinicals this semester had a "shower room" supply that consisted of body wash/soap for residents as well as shampoo and lotions, etc. Most of the...

  9. What does he do?

    MissJulie replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, yet, but relying on the state to remind you of when your nursing license expires would be like the state reminding you to renew your drivers license, wouldn't it? It seems to me that...

  10. Who actually ENJOYS clinical?

    MissJulie replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you had such a great day at clinical! I love clinical myself, just not my instructor But, we're changing instructors next week, and I'm going from LTC to acute on a med/surg floor. Even...

  11. im injection

    MissJulie replied to peaceful nurse's topic in Patient Medications

    I am currently a student in an ADN program, and was taught to aspirate on every IM injection. If I remember correctly, the reason that the instructors gave was because of the possibility of...

  12. Do I hate nursing school or just MY nursing school?

    MissJulie replied to luamoon66's topic in General Students

    So, I don't get along with my clinical instructor either, in fact, I don't think she likes me at all... But, the rest of the program is great. We have great lecture instructors, and our lab...

  13. So, My Clinical Instructor Hates Me...

    MissJulie posted a topic in General Students

    I'm finishing up the first half of my first semester of an ADN program... I'm doing great in class (B+ average), lab is awesome, I get along with most of my instructors and classmates, but my clinical...

  14. nursing student life

    MissJulie replied to Kathy_Chou's topic in General Students

    That's what I was thinking! My life is pretty simple right now: class, work, study, sleep (about 4 hr); in that order, and sometimes I might actually get to eat a little

  15. So, My Clinical Instructor Hates Me...

    MissJulie replied to MissJulie's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies... It's not that I truly care if she likes me or not, just that she grades me based on my work and not any feelings she may, or may not, have toward me. Granted, she could have...

  16. Salary for clinic position?

    MissJulie replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNA in Kentucky, and I make $13.00 an hour in a clinic position! That's insane!!! Tell her what my aunt says, "Not only no, but hell

  17. What does your hospital do for halloween?

    MissJulie replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Nursing

    Our office always dresses up for Halloween, and we decorate the entire office! Our doctor loves it, when he was growing up in the , he never got to participate in Halloween (I forget the exact...

  18. treatment of student nurses on the floor

    MissJulie replied to teterichko123's topic in General Students

    As a fellow student, I have to agree! I think, though, that it depends on the facility and the specific nurses you are working with. Right now we're at LTC, and the RNs are, well, basically...

  19. Becoming a CNA and I am getiing my Certification for MA

    MissJulie replied to kim40's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Two different work environments, and two different areas of work for that matter. Most places will only let you work under one title or the other. If you're working at a facility as a CNA, you...

  20. Pinning up long hair

    MissJulie replied to annetter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The policy to my nursing school states that if you have hair that touches your shoulders, you have to wear it up off your collar. But, no hair is to be left hanging in the face, so even if you have...

  21. Are most people just against nursring as a profession?

    MissJulie replied to 1moretime's topic in General Students

    I've been through a similar situation... I started off wanting to be a PA because I always noticed that the doctor's office I go to as my primary care has a PA and when you see her, you seem to get...

  22. Case for stethoscope?

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

    I use a travel toiletry bag I got at Walmart. On one side it has a big open area where I put my BP cuff and Stethoscope; the other side has some pockets that are the perfect size for alcohol preps,...

  23. What kind of job can a CNA with phlebotomy certification expect to find?

    MissJulie replied to CNA1991's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it depends on your area... In my neck fo the woods, you can only work as one or the other, in other words, under one certification at a time. I think the idea behind this is that CNAs can't...

  24. Medical Assistants the new RNs???

    MissJulie replied to ayorenee's topic in General Nursing

    I think my home state, a person doesn't have to be certified to be an MA, the doctor just has to be willing to let them work under his/her license and then take the liability for them if needed. But,...

  25. Can you please school me?

    MissJulie replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nurse, just a student like you, but what worked for me was starting at the top of the head and working my way down to the feet. For example, with the head, I assessed the scalp, then the...
