    bioniclewoman replied to dusoleil264's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I think you will just have to learn to deal with the manager. If it makes you fill any better, managers usually don't last long. You might have a much nicer manager this time next year. Sometimes you...

    bioniclewoman replied to TxMonci's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I don't think it is possible to not have the text book. I didn't really read the test book, but I needed it to study the prefixes, roots, and suffixes for the test. You can take the quizzes and MTIs...

    bioniclewoman replied to TxMonci's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I like writing about an example, it involves less reading. If you can't think of an example, just make it up. I get my best grades on made-up stuff, teachers love it! Really, what else are we suppose...

    bioniclewoman replied to TxMonci's topic in University of Texas Arlington

  9. BIOL 3309 Medical Terminology start date 1/21/13

    bioniclewoman replied to TxMonci's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I think todays test (3rd) was the hardest for me. I still made a good grade, but not as high as my other two test grades. I don't deal with eyes and ears much in my work so I really didn't know the...

  11. BP situation

    bioniclewoman replied to Standoe3's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would have done the same thing you did. I don't know anything about the patient's heart condition, but I'm sure the doctor understood the benefits of giving the dig, and decided they out weighed the...

  12. High turnover in LTAC's?

    bioniclewoman replied to nursingilove's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    I don't feel like there is a high turn over in my LTAC. With night nurses maybe, seems like we hire alot of night nureses. Turn over for day nurses is pretty low. The ones that do leave are new grads...

    bioniclewoman posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    What might the options be for the family of a patient that is on ventilator support but wants hospice. Let's say a patient is trached, a failure to wean off vent, not tolerating feedings thru peg, and...

  18. How do you stay positive about your career?

    bioniclewoman replied to Jw1724's topic in General Nursing

  19. just venting

    bioniclewoman replied to bdbrdb's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not in SA but I would try going to the big area hospitals' websites and search for clinic positions. They tend to hire LVNs. To get a job as an LVN you sometimes have to do a lot of "pounding...

    bioniclewoman posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was told by coworkers that if someone won't take their meds you should put it in their food. I thought you weren't allowed to force someone to take meds and that seems like force. I asked if I...

    bioniclewoman replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Nursing
