    Poochiewoochie replied to PatrickBaron's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Since Memorial has become part of UCH they have added an O-arm to their system-the only one in the area. Plus, they have a DaVinci Robot and have hired a lot of new doctors. The days of Penrose being...

  3. CNA job scam? Please help

    Poochiewoochie replied to magalipastor60's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not all job postings are scams. Our local Community Health Center posts jobs on craigslists. But I understand your POV and it's too bad that the bad apples make it bad for the legit

  4. How long will it take to be hired as a CNA?

    Poochiewoochie replied to PryingNini's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where I live the market is so oversaturated with CNA school graduates. Most places want a years experience-with so many CNA's they can be

  6. $33, 000 for Medical Assistant program

    Poochiewoochie replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No they don't. MA's don't wipe people's hineys and do all the grunge work that a CNA does. As for the for profit schools most places will not even look at a resume that lists one as your education. I...

  7. IV insertion problems

    Poochiewoochie replied to nursing_problem's topic in Emergency

    I had surgery a week ago tomorrow. I told the nurse about my valve problems in the top of my hand yet she sticks me there anyway then proceeds to tell me , yes, you are pretty valvely. A few seconds...

  11. Getting a job after challenging CNA exam

    Poochiewoochie replied to Nurse2b87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Most places want a years experience-staffing agencies included. If you know someone at a facility or staffing agency like a family member you have a better chance of getting a job there. The market is...

  12. Deathbed visions **UPDATED**

    Poochiewoochie replied to ag_man's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know but it broke my heart to hear her say that. Especially since I knew she WAS dying. Her father was not a very nice person-he sexually abused her-so I was surprised when she said she saw...

  13. Deathbed visions **UPDATED**

    Poochiewoochie replied to ag_man's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of weeks before my Mom died she told my Dad that she had seen her Dad and his parents. Three days before she died(that was the last day she was awake) she told me she was going to die and was...

  14. IV insertion problems

    Poochiewoochie replied to nursing_problem's topic in Emergency

    Every time they try to start an IV on top of my hand they hit a valve. The last surgery I had the nurse tried 3 times before she managed to get it in. I think she was more flustered than I was and she...

  15. Odd ER visit

    Poochiewoochie replied to inshallamiami's topic in Emergency

    I was once treated badly by one snotty ER nurse. A quick email to the hospital and the next working day I received a phone call from a patient representative telling me they were sorry I was treated...

  16. How much poop/puke/cleaning of bodily fluids is there in nursing school?

    Poochiewoochie replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    Dementia patients do that

  17. Do pt families every drive you crazy?

    Poochiewoochie replied to purple10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I used to visit Healthboards and was amazed at all the "physicians" and "radiologists" that post there! Someone needs an MRI read? Just post it there and one of the self proclaimed "experts" will...

  18. Online CNA course?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Corpsman514's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This comes from one of the CNA classes here in Colorado-If you take an online CNA course You are NOT ELIGIBLE to take the "Colorado State Nurse Aide Competency and Evaluation exam" (original...

  19. No Visitors

    Poochiewoochie replied to Morainey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're welcome. I've been in the hospital too and judging from what I saw nurses have a lot to do-being someone's social director is not one of them. You guys barely have enough time to do what you...

  20. No Visitors

    Poochiewoochie replied to Morainey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I saw that on the door of a patients room at the hospital where my Mom was being treated. I would think that nurses at most hospitals already have enough to do without having to police who visits...

  21. Can I write to a deceased patients family?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Rn112389's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That's what I thought too. I think that point was missed in some of the replies. I would be more concerned about violating HIPAA than the possibility that someone I said in a sympathy note might come...

  22. CNA Advice?

    Poochiewoochie replied to laurenswindell1201's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What's that old saying? If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Most CNA courses regardless of where you live are 4-6 weeks and it's usually 20 hours a week. Clinicals are usually 20 hours...

  23. No work experience? CNA?

    Poochiewoochie replied to DesiRenee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Most places don't accept taking care of a family member as experience, they want 6 months to a year of PAID experience. At least that's what it said on several applications and ads that I've

  24. Can I write to a deceased patients family?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Rn112389's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The person I responded to was from hospice-they made it sound like it was some kind of cardinal sin to send a note such as the one the OP mentioned. The funny thing is that when I had to put my dog...

  25. Can I write to a deceased patients family?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Rn112389's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    When my Mom died we received a sympathy card that was signed by everyone from the hospice that we used for my
