Hoyer, Schmoyer.

You are the best Commuter! Well written.

Let the school reimburse you for your stethescope. Who knows what nasty bacteria is on the earpieces. I have seen pus drain from abscesses in ears.

Get the darn book to guide you where to go in your textbook.

When I stay over, I get paid. It is not your fault that there is so much work that you are required to stay over documenting. I'm sure you even worked through your breaks and lunch. Get paid.

My ADN program required CNA certification as a prerequisite.

I waited 2 months because I had to get my ATT and then I scheduled the test about three weeks from then.

The LTAC I work at gives you up to 24 patients at a time. You do 2 med passes, IV and IM if ordered, a treatment pass that includes wound care, ordered labs, all nebulizer treatments, all accuchecks and vitals, PEG tubes/feedings, oxygen, suctioning, assessments, no unit secretary, 2 aides and all charting is paper. You must transcribe the orders, FAX to pharmacy, record them in the MAR, do admissions and discharges, safety alarms, receive medication from the pharmacy, call the doctor, answer all phone calls, do patient teaching and delegate to the aides. I would consider this to be experience.

Prolly drives me nuts. Somewhere on here, I've even seen it written that way!

I studied them by following the origin and insertion.

The issue is that nurses don't have time for the patient, yet they are playing on their cell phones! This can't be solved by a chaplain or a volunteer. I thought cell phones were not allowed while at work.

Can you spend some time going over your skills in the school lab?

You could wear boxers under your scrubs and sport the Soulja Boy look.

Congratulations!!!

If you wear your pants below your belly, you are going to show plumber butt. If you buy a bigger size and pull your pants up on your waist, the problem will be eliminated.
