  1. language barrier- weird situation

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses. I was afraid it might turn ugly, but it didn't - YAY! To the poster who said something about being familiar with people from cultures I frequently deal with, this isn't a...

  2. Fictional vital sign charting

    JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    In the program I went through which was offered by the local (teaching) hospital (I had to pay for it) there was no reasoning behind why the vitals are taken or why they're important, etc. I knew how...

  3. Fictional vital sign charting

    JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    along with more education comes more pay - and nobody willing to fork out the

  4. I hate being a tech. will I hate being a nurse too?

    JSlovex2 replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Nursing

    THIS!! you need to really decide whether or not it's the actual "nursing tasks" that bother you or if it's the nurses and that will help answer your question. when i became a CNA i found that i LOVED...

  5. "We don't clean patients, we are a procedural area"

    JSlovex2 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    this happens all the time where i work with patients sent to the floor from the ER. it's infuriating bc it's not just "a little bit" that may have happened during transport or something of that...

  6. Fictional vital sign charting

    JSlovex2 replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    i have to say that during my time of being the vital sign taker aka CNA, respirations usually did fall between 16-20 and that was on med/surg. sometimes i'd get a 14 thrown into the mix and then of...

  7. Unsupportive 'team' members

    JSlovex2 replied to Chixie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't doubt that if you have 14 patients that you need help which is why you have two "CSW's." This is just a touchy subject for me which is why I say (and firmly believe) that nurses should be CNAs...

  8. Should I be worried about back problems?

    JSlovex2 replied to austriancrystal's topic in General Nursing

    If you're a good nurse who cares about your patients then you're going to strain your back a LITTLE. If a patient has to be moved then you should have help and more than likely it will be the aides...

  9. Unsupportive 'team' members

    JSlovex2 replied to Chixie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    for the record, CNA's can say the same. "hell, I can pass the meds and stay on the phone all day long, but who i going to take care of the patients?" just

  10. Unsupportive 'team' members

    JSlovex2 replied to Chixie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    who called you lazy? i definitely did not so that's a little suspicious that you point that out. you're right, if a "CSW" wants to do your job then she should go back to school. that's exactly what...

  11. Unsupportive 'team' members

    JSlovex2 replied to Chixie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i work at the same facility where i served as a CNA. i don't recall a nurse ever writing up a CNA and i'm pretty sure all hell would've broken loose if they did. nurses did go to the supervisor and...

  12. Tattoos and nursing

    JSlovex2 replied to ryanna112's topic in General Nursing

    my scrubs are v necks mostly and my collar bones are obvious. i think the only way your collar bones don't show is if you're extremely

  13. Tattoos and nursing

    JSlovex2 replied to ryanna112's topic in General Nursing

    nep, my tattoo has a lot of meaning for me and it did at the time that i got it. now that i'm older and have had PROFESSIONS as opposed to "jobs" i have questioned whether or not it was a good idea...

  14. Religion in the Room

    JSlovex2 replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Can I ask a serious question? Why do you feel like you need to bring health care and God to people in other countries? Why not bring it to people right here in

  15. Tattoos and nursing

    JSlovex2 replied to ryanna112's topic in General Nursing

    you're exactly right. my father who isn't my biological father is the one who gave me my one and only tattoo. it's a symbol that stands for our bond and it means a lot to me. however, i know that...

  16. Could a Registered Nurse hold their own when it comes to treating patients...?

    JSlovex2 replied to lee_sHAY's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    well, working med/surg and caring for patients with gunshot wounds is a whole different ballgame than caring for a victim of a gunshot in a public place at the point of impact i.e. with the bullet...

  17. Tattoos and nursing

    JSlovex2 replied to ryanna112's topic in General Nursing

    who is the doomsayer? the one with a tattoo on her

    JSlovex2 replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Oh - he even guessed "quaker"

  19. Religion in the Room

    JSlovex2 replied to SeeTheMoon's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Once, a patient was watching a gospel station and said, you've heard of "the carters" haven't you? and when i said no, he said, well, you're a christian, aren't you? i said, "Ii've just never heard of...

  20. language barrier- weird situation

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    True, and maybe she wanted to show off the fact that her child was bi-lingual and did understand English well. I'm not saying that she should be (although I think it would make sense for immigrants to...

  21. Tattoos and nursing

    JSlovex2 replied to ryanna112's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Mine is on my wrist which is obviously a very visible place, but I always cover it (and have always covered it at interviews or parent/teacher meetings) bc it's not professional looking and I...

  22. language barrier- weird situation

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't really say that I "took offense," but I do think it's rude to speak in a different language and laugh openly in a room where only one person doesn't understand - especially in a...

  23. language barrier- weird situation

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I did go with it. It's not like I yelled "STOP!" and gave a lecture or questioned why she was doing what she did. BUT I don't think it was easier for her to not respond to me asking the same...

  24. Tattoos and nursing

    JSlovex2 replied to ryanna112's topic in General Nursing

    look into getting that puppy removed. laser removal is usually done in sessions so you can pay a little at a time. i have a tattoo on my wrist which i cover with a bracelet at work, but i may have it...

  25. Unsupportive 'team' members

    JSlovex2 replied to Chixie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is further validation of my theory that nursing schools who require applicants to first be CNAs are spot on. Not to worry, I think doctors should be nurses
