    demylenated replied to nursesandi1's topic in Home Health

  4. for the love of money...

    demylenated replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're right... There are people out there who "fall into" a career, or even get into one "for the wrong reason" (who am I to say what the right reason is?), and end up being VERY good in that...

  5. for the love of money...

    demylenated replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    You may have misunderstood my post... I didn't say we should not get paid more, I actually said we don't get paid enough. I replied to the OP that people DO get into nursing "for the money" because...

  6. for the love of money...

    demylenated replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, nurses don't get paid a lot!! BUT, we DO get paid above the normal college degree. I, as an LPN, make more money than 2 of my friends that have a Bachelors degree in business, and 3 that have...

    demylenated replied to RKRobbins's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is in the military. He is deployed often, or when home gone for a day here or there. In a way, cops and military go hand in hand. He was in the military when I married him. I became a...

  9. Recovering from stabbing now what for LPN

    demylenated replied to friendofinjuredlpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    People do medical transcription from home. He could look into that... "He does NOT want to go on SSI (he is better than that)" The above quote: he needs to re-evaluate his feelings towards SSI. Sure,...

  12. Why Multitasking Wont Work

    demylenated replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose, simplistically, you could look at it like that. But, isn't that what "multitasking" does? It takes your full attention from ONE job and applies it to TWO jobs simultaneously. Where, when...

    demylenated replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

  15. Is it worth it taking out a loan for a CNA program certificate?

    demylenated replied to mariposabella's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    How long is your wait to get into nursing school? How much difference in pay will you make as a CNA vs an NA or other job? Do you have any place that offers on the job training (the best way to go...

    demylenated replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    OMG!! If I give you a list, you won't be taking anything!!! LOL The majority is any cold remedy!! But, let me check my resources. I have a good link, but I think it is on my work computer. Here is one...

  17. Drug tested and scared

    demylenated replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse that works in an addiction clinic... you are right... It *IS* because you are not a nurse yet and because you are naive (your words, not mine). There are MANY MANY MANY drugs, food, teas...

    demylenated replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    I just got done with mine this summer. Be prepared, it is INTENSE!!! I recommend a small recorder. I recorded every lecture, but never listened to them - not enough time. You have 1 year of material...

  19. Brain aneurysm kills suddenly

    demylenated replied to cschoppe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm terribly sorry. This, for some reason, has always been a huge fear of mine (aneurysms in general). I pray for peace and comfort during your time of loss. There will never be answers, and no words...

  20. Drug tested and scared

    demylenated replied to Platypus's topic in General Nursing

    If it comes back positive (very remote chance), ask for a blood sample. They are more accurate and actually measures the amt of the "drug" in your system. In your case, there will be none... Or, offer...

  21. Suspended without notice

    demylenated replied to RUN_RN's topic in General Nursing

  24. Treating the whole patient?

    demylenated replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Whole patient... My definition is even though the patient is in with a RTKR, we shouldn't neglect any other needs they have. Are they having BMs regularly. Did you walk in and find them crying, if so,...
