  1. I HATE this!!!!

    lovingtheunloved replied to BellaBloo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe you should rethink your career path. Some people just aren't cut out for nursing, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Shoot, I was an elementary ed major my freshman year of...

  2. Nurses/Nursing Students:What advice would you give someone starting Nursing School?

    lovingtheunloved replied to missymarie26's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Give your house a good, thorough cleaning, because it'll be two years before you clean it

  3. Am I over reacting?

    lovingtheunloved replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's possible to get an A with a more rigid professor. Or an F, it depends on how hard you work. I tend to get higher grades from harder teachers, because I'm the type that needs

  4. Pregnant and can't lift?

    lovingtheunloved replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an 88 bed LTC center. We have, count 'em, 15 pregnant CNAs, a pregnant nurse, and a pregnant DON. I work in hormone

  5. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    lovingtheunloved replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    A person who kills himself has done a selfish thing. Having been there, I can tell you, the pain is overwhelming, and you just CAN'T think of the people you're hurting. It's still selfish. I...

  6. Nursing & Privacy

    lovingtheunloved replied to valaxie's topic in General Nursing

    EVERYONE is on something for anxiety or depression in nursing school. Don't worry. Most of your instructors are probably on something

  7. Do I let her know about my brother??

    lovingtheunloved replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who "didn't get it right the first time," it just makes me all that much more determined to make sure my life isn't a

  8. Please don't say "I told you so"

    lovingtheunloved replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    It's so hard to want to make a difference, and realize that in certain situations, you just can't the way you want to. Your compassion is evident. I wish you

  9. positives and negatives to your program

    lovingtheunloved replied to futureaznurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Overall, I like my program. My biggest gripe would have to be that I don't feel we get enough clinical time. One day a week. As much as I hate clinicals, I learn the most there. I adore the...

  10. Pericare- which way is correct?

    lovingtheunloved replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Labia minora first. Labia majora have bacteria too, that you don't want contaminating the

  11. Does this make sense?

    lovingtheunloved replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like such a compassionate nurse! That being said, you will burn out faster than a match in a tornado. It will frustrate the hell out of you when you come back from your days off and find...

  12. Medical Terminology & Abbrevations Game :)

    lovingtheunloved replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Moves all extremities well code

  13. Question about skilled nursing and g-tubes

    lovingtheunloved replied to Jolie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Uh, skilled being the operative term, why would they not? It's a skill any beginning nursing student knows. Residents in nursing homes are a lot sicker than they used to be, and vents, trachs and...

  14. "Customer service" and nursing

    lovingtheunloved replied to LilPeanut's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are we reading the same

  15. how long have you been an aide?

    lovingtheunloved replied to RN2B78's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Almost four years. I'm taking the NCLEX-PN this summer. Being a CNA has definitely been an advantage in nursing school. I don't think it's necessary though. Some of my classmates with no...

  16. About state surveys

    lovingtheunloved replied to myrlpie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It is rather amusing, isn't it, to watch people freak out. I LOVE our administration. The DON and ADON, MDS nurse and MRD are always on the floors interacting with the residents. In fact, the DON...

  17. nursing ratios in longterm care

    lovingtheunloved replied to Smiles07's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, it's unlikely. That ratio is pretty much the norm. How many aides do you

  18. Ideas for Nursing Grad Party

    lovingtheunloved replied to leesespieces's topic in General Students

    I still have two semesters to go, but my classmates and I are planning a clinical uniform

  19. breakfast

    lovingtheunloved replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The only reason most of our residents eat in the dining room is because they don't care. If they want to eat in their rooms, outside, in the hallway, whatever, they do. Night shift gets most of them...

  20. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    lovingtheunloved replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    A local elementary school in my town actually hired a girl in my nursing class as the "school nurse." They knew she was not a nurse, but no nurses applied, SO...this district has it so that the...

  21. Affect

    lovingtheunloved posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My clinical instructor hollered for an hour about care plans and how no one knew what affect meant, gave "flat" and "animated" as examples, which everyone already knew, but neither of those fit the...

  22. Affect

    lovingtheunloved replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I appreciate your input. It makes perfect sense to me. My instructor seems to think that it's more important to point out in whatever way she can that the hospital is terrible, the nurses are...

  23. why so mean?

    lovingtheunloved replied to johnsonprn2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a very efficient CNA. I do my job well, and I know what I'm doing. Then I go to clinicals at the hospital, and as a student nurse, I'm slow, insecure, and I forget things sometimes. I...

  24. Affect

    lovingtheunloved replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Many of the words you suggested, we did also. "That is NOT what affect is" was her oh-so-kind reply. And she has yet to say what it IS. She spent 20 minutes talking about how for ethnicity, we...

  25. What would you have said to this??

    lovingtheunloved replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    And people wonder why I'd die of sepsis before I'd ever go to the
