  1. False vitals data???

    LCinTraining replied to jval's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And they will kill someone. Plain and

  2. Why are some aides so disrespectful?

    LCinTraining replied to onthemark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well then, I'll say your aides are lucky as there's not a single shift I get out on time for. Most of our aides don't get out on time. I usually run about an hour late trying to finish things up, and...

  3. Help :( getting confused with PPE

    LCinTraining replied to vumblevee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mask last. I got nabbed in lab for that.

  4. Baths!

    LCinTraining replied to Nursingschoolzombie's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Wait, why is night shift not doing any bathing? Some days in my facility, nights are the only people that give baths. We all are to work together, but sometimes the day is too crazy, or sometimes...

  5. Why are some aides so disrespectful?

    LCinTraining replied to onthemark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm still confused, if you had time to stop and ask the aide to take the patient to the service, why not take the extra few steps to just deliver her yourself? I do not see you taking any...

  6. False vitals data???

    LCinTraining replied to jval's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There should never be a why. Ever. Sorry, I just don't buy this. So what if it takes me all shift to get vitals? I have the same problem at my job and would never dare dream of making things up....

  7. Working in a christian place while being an atheist?

    LCinTraining replied to mls4455's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am an atheist as well, and it's tough feeling like you are trying to swim against the flow. I try to simply be respectful. However, I would never willingly apply at a facility known for being a...

  8. What patients/behaviors/illnesses/injuries do you HATE the most?

    LCinTraining replied to JZ_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dyalisis. period. Watching the blood circulate through those tubes is bad enough. Add the smells go the cleaning solution on top of the fact that I can smell the blood and I want to

  9. Why are some aides so disrespectful?

    LCinTraining replied to onthemark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is encouraged for us to sit in our cafeteria to mingle with patients on break if we choose. However, regardless, she should have spoken up and indicated she was on break. It's disrespectful to...

  10. Nurses Calling Patients "Jerks"

    LCinTraining replied to PacoUSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sure we vent when at the desk quietly and you bet I'm going to hand off in report that a patient is needy. I'm also going to share what tricks I've learned to help me get out quicker. Must fluff the...

  11. So much for address taken into consideration

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    We were told our addresses would be taken into consideration for our clinical sites. The line up looks very random to me. However, the clinker is...my first rotation site is the absolute farthest...

  12. So much for address taken into consideration

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    The listening to lectures would rock if we were allowed to

  13. So much for address taken into consideration

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    It is in a major city. I would not camp overnight in my car. I work an hour away from home and lecture is an hour as well. I tried to nap in my car before work, which is outside of the city because I...

  14. So much for address taken into consideration

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    No one lives near me. So car pooling is out and I can't afford a hotel right now to even sleep a few hours before work. Gas has been killing me. There are multiple sites for our first rotation, some...

  15. I feel stupid

    LCinTraining replied to ~passionateSN~'s topic in General Students

    I am going to have to remember this

  16. So much for address taken into consideration

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    The mermaid (Starbucks logo) will get me through this. That and five hour energy shots

  17. Who is right and who is wrong?

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    In clinicallab they were teaching us patient transfers. I work as a CNA at a rehab hospital. We are constantly told "shoulder preservation" and it is so engrained in the process there that if you are...

  18. Who is right and who is wrong?

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I think I like this idea. I'll have to remember that for next time. And NCLEX, is that really testing on the practicals? Or is that knowledge/thinking base? Are there demonstrations to do with

  19. There is always one..

    LCinTraining replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    Motivation has little to do with learning disorders. I'd actually garner that I push harder than most students with my ADHD. And without being involved directly with the process there is no retaining...

    LCinTraining replied to Jamaicandol's topic in General Students

  21. There is always one..

    LCinTraining replied to wbrown06's topic in General Students

    I ask questions. A lot. It's how I learn. Visual learners can learn from reading the text. I will never remember. I have to be involved in the discussion to remember anything. I don't hate on class...

  22. The good, the bad, the ugly - your first real patient contact

    LCinTraining replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    My first contact with a patient was as a ride along for our local EMS unit. I eventually obtained my EMT but all I knew was that I just had a biology lab on blood pressures and racticed them in lab....

  23. The Nursing Process

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for all the input. I just got off working a 16 unexpectedly, and am passing out for a bit. Then I'm going to go back and read this

  24. The Nursing Process

    LCinTraining posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ive skimmed the 400 pages for this lecture, attended lecture and attempted some practice questions from the book. It seems so ... All over the place and not as organized as they keep saying it is....

  25. Stay Away From The Drama

    LCinTraining replied to pookyp's topic in General Students

    It's school. It's easy to get involved in cliques and aa repeat of high school nonsense if you aren't
