  1. Is it beneficial to become a CNA if you are also becoming an LPN?

    MurrR replied to em_loves_tex's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Having your CNA license and working as a CNA looks amazing on your nursing school applications, first off. Second, you begin to develop your MO - how you approach different kinds of...

  2. What would YOU have done

    MurrR replied to my4helpers's topic in General Nursing

    Can you say neglect?! I probably would have re-opened the door, repositioned the resident, and DEFINITELY replaced the call light!! If the nurse asked "Who did that?!" I would've said "I did, and if...

  3. Hospital ER relocates and treats patients to next door coffee shop (Tim Hortons)

    MurrR replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why it's so upsetting to be treated in a Tim Horton's except for the fact that this one was closed. A nice cup of coffee while you're waiting for the doctor sounds a treat to me! I'd be...

  4. Starting a cna program

    MurrR replied to student81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on haw you do it. Running a CNA program through a community college would probably be a lot different from starting your own private

  5. Seizure while eating- what to do?

    MurrR replied to ajangel25's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I guess what I'm imagining is that they're probably falling/sliding out of their chair during the seizure - unless it's not that kind of seizure - and once they're on the floor, having them in the...

  6. Can You Live Off A CNA's Pay? Do you?

    MurrR replied to HS/College Student's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've lived on way less than that for the past 8 months, and I lived on a bit less than that for 3 years prior to losing my last job. You just have to be absolutely ruthless with how you spend your...

  7. CNA training in Portland, Oregon

    MurrR replied to janismck's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The head of the state board of nursing created two categories of CNA not too long ago. To work in a hospital, you'd have to earn your CNA2 license which you can only do after you've had your CNA1...

  8. assisted livivng facility vs nursing home?

    MurrR replied to inspired-nurse2b's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey, I'm still doing clinicals but I did the majority of my shifts in an A/L and I've just completed my first of 2 shifts in a nursing home with a skilled unit. At the A/L facility it was very light...

  9. Medecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders

    MurrR posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not, but here goes... I'm in high school and I know I want to be a nurse. It's just something that suits me so well, and I want to do it so bad. But...

  10. Patients and voting

    MurrR replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Oregon as well and I think this is just awful! Maybe people are desperate for their candidate to win, but it's still just shameful. I'm absolutely stunned that this even

  11. My Hands are a mess in the winter!

    MurrR replied to IMustBeCrazy's topic in General Nursing

    My mother has the same problem and when hers start cracking she uses some stuff she got from Mary Kay, she also suggests Skin-So-Soft. Except that SSS can tend towards the greasy side. The Mary Kay...

    I don't know if this goes here or in the Agency Nursing board, but I was wondering. What is agency

  14. Agency Nursing?

    MurrR replied to MurrR's topic in General Nursing

    MurrR replied to MurrR's topic in General Nursing

    wow. I knew there were a lot of nursing specialites but I had no idea that there was such a variety in the places of

  17. Agency Nursing?

    MurrR replied to MurrR's topic in General Nursing

    I can see how an agency would be preferable for people who like to travel a lot and who don't want to get caught up in hospital politics. Are those the only options in nursing, working with an agency...

  18. Agency Nursing?

    MurrR replied to MurrR's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a certain limit to how far away an agency can send you, or do you basically live where their whims send

  19. Nursing school = Acne?

    MurrR replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Students

    I've heard that stress can make acne flare up out of nowhere, no matter what your age. My mom is 40-something and she still gets zits every once in a

  20. Agency Nursing?

    MurrR replied to MurrR's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think that I could handle the politics of a hospital. For the most part that sort of thing seems to part like a river around a rock when it meets up with me. I end up being friendly to...

  23. Blue Collar or White collar?

    MurrR replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like white collar to me. :stone I think that nursing migh be something of a in-between profession. Most nursing jobs are paid by the hour, but nurses also hold degrees of all sorts. So maybe...

  24. What do you like/dislike about being a nurse ?
