   SoldierMedic replied to pumpkin's topic in General Nursing

   You got that right. I remember this one time when I was a CNA, I had this 30 + years of practice doctor to take care of and he constantly yelled at me (everybody including the interns) for being a lowly CNA while bragging about being "God". Actually,...

   Wow...words to practice by. I'll keep your advice in mind with my new Med Surg job as an LVN next month :uhoh21: In fact, I should print this and keep in my scrub breast pocket :)

   Don't OBGYN doctors get sued alot? Sounds like this doctor was sued many times.

   SoldierMedic replied to pumpkin's topic in General Nursing

   Holy cows! did you get fired for that? I threatened to beat up this MD at my former hospital for belittling me for almost 2 years. He kept calling me this "pet name" as he called it and I finally confronted him and told him I was just gooing to flat ...

6. Top 5 medicine to pass in LTC?

   SoldierMedic replied to SoldierMedic's topic in Geriatric

   I have one resident on Dig and another on Coumadin. None on Lasix anymore. Forgot to add Cardiac meds and Senokot as well :) but I would have to change my "top 5" title to "top ten".

7. Any IV certification courses in the San Francisco area?

   SoldierMedic replied to 91WhiskeyM6's topic in Infusion

   Oregon's a little too far for me to help you. I'm actually getting IV certified in October. I can't wait! Only in the civilian world do you need certs and license for everything. In the Army, even the cooks in my med unit can insert IV's and carry an...

    SoldierMedic replied to critcarenurse16's topic in Cardiac

    Hyperkalemia can also cause weird T wave abnormalities. Off the topic, I used to have a binder full of weird and abnormal strips I collected as a monitor tech. Too bad I can't scan them for you guys because I ended up giving it away to some RN's at K...

12. Any other intelligent NA's out there?

    SoldierMedic replied to boulergirl's topic in General Nursing

    My pet peeves are CNA's who don't turn their patients enough. When I was a CNA in acute and long term, I never had one patient come down with a pressure ulcer. Never! but the CNA's I work with today aren't as dedicated as I was back in the day. Don't...

    SoldierMedic replied to yazisizit's topic in Humor

    With me nothing really......I remember this one time I was changing a condom cath and urine splashed in my eye. So I double checked his past history for Hepatitis, HIV, and so on and went straight to the ED (he was clean). Man, that saline they poure...
