    CelticGoddess replied to Liz30303's topic in General Students

    ABSN top schools

    CelticGoddess replied to jzhao's topic in General Nursing

    Where do you live? It's really hard to answer your second question without knowing the market in the state you live in. In some area's, you can get a job fairly easily, in others, it's harder. As...

    Question on injections

    CelticGoddess replied to Spitfire76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, I do support my fellow nurses. I just don't support those who insist that they are nurses when they DO NOT HAVE the educational background and have not passed the NCLEX. You are NOT a nurse. I...

    Occupational exposure to floor wax

    CelticGoddess replied to NurseHP's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, you are correct. I didn't develop my asthma issues when I worked LTC or I would have just had to suffer (or die). I fractured my elbow (at work, no less) and they freaked out when they...

    Delegate

    CelticGoddess replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean a UAP? Can't figure out what UCP stands for. I have delegated urine collections to UAP, unless it was from a catheter. Then I had to do it. That was policy at all three facilities I...

    Y connector compatibility chart

    If you area nurse, your facility should have that information available for you on their computers system, or you can call the pharmacy. If you are a student, check your drug guide for the medication...

    CelticGoddess replied to Naddyfri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean by pre bachelors degree. What do you want to do? Your question is to vague to give an answer, sorry. If you supply some more info we might be able to

    Failed my first test

    CelticGoddess replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    My school required an 84% to pass, and that was the low end of a "C". IT's not that

    Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    CelticGoddess replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    FTR: In many states in the US, if you call yourself a nurse and you are not(however innocent) it is breaking the law. It doesn't matter if you use RN, LPN, or nurse, the title is protected and can...

    Is There EBP Behind Two-Step Blood Pressures?

    CelticGoddess replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in General Students

    We were taught the two step method in nursing school and I think we all promptly forgot it when we started working in the real world. I still do manual BP's (home hospice) but none of the two step...

    The things we put up with as part of the job

    CelticGoddess replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    The facility I worked for before hired only former military and police. (Reserve okay) They payed more than the city and county and they were choosy. I trusted the security

    CelticGoddess replied to Beeboop12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Those "melted fat puffy blobs" who are moaning in bed are human beings. You aren't going to get away from things you don't like if you work as a CNA. If you can't look at them as anything but...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    CelticGoddess replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Please explain your post. Gods grace had NOTHING to do whatsoever with healing me. The doctors, nurses, RRT's etc all had a hand in it. I found that comment to be in poor taste. I also found our...

    How to respond to "am I dying?"

    CelticGoddess replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    I had a paramedic tell me that it was anxiety and I ended up "accidentally" kicking her. She was very dismissive. She was gone by the time I tanked so she probably still thinks I was just a raging...
