    I. Just. Can't....

    duskyjewel replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a glimmer of hope to offer. Today I met the THIRD young pre-med student volunteering in our hospice inpatient units. Maybe the next generation of doctors will be a little better. I told him...

    85 questions shut off and failed!!

    duskyjewel replied to dafishman's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can't seriously be for real with this....it's dumb to expect a nurse to show competency in all areas before granting licensure? Medication questions are silly....and you want to be a nurse? SATA...

    duskyjewel replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh yeah, I know. I just couldn't believe the story in the bathroom with the mother. We all have our opinions and thoughts on these things, and here a topic was posed and we're all discussing it,...

    duskyjewel replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honestly....regardless of what I may think, I know better than to ever act like that toward someone, because I don't know, and I know I don't know. Discussing concepts here is one thing. Acting like...

    Should male nurses put the toilet seat down?

    duskyjewel replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As my dad has pointed out many times, women have both eyes and hands, so they should be able to take care of a seat being up. As to "invasive procedures with tampons" well, a person can wash her...

    And I for you, and people who respect each other can and do disagree. I'm sure we will again. But I also think all of us probably agree on

    How many people took a Cna class at a for profit school?

    :eek: Holy what the biscuit?! I literally can't even get my head around that. Mine was $1000 inclusive of uniform, all materials, TB test, and

    HIPAA?

    duskyjewel replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    I have one friend from CNA school who constantly posts about her job and has the facility at which she works listed in her profile. Some of the stuff has been way too detailed about events in her...

    How many people took a Cna class at a for profit school?

    duskyjewel replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did. It was a good program and I felt well-prepared for the state exam and for working. I chose it also because of the ability to get done in just a few short weeks. Let's be honest, CNA doesn't...

    Looks like I FAILED again!!!!!

    duskyjewel replied to Xaldin4life RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you don't really mean this, then knock it off, because it's nothing to joke about. If you do really mean it, get to a mental health professional NOW. As to the test, where are your weaknesses?...

    Never get the job...

    Organization OCD

    duskyjewel replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    LOL when my genes were sequenced, this one got missed. I clean because I have to, and only because I have to. Thank goodness there are people like you and the OP who go the extra mile and make up...

    I'm sorry, but we can't help what we see. When someone on public assistance is wearing brand new $100+ sneakers that my husband and I, both full time workers, couldn't afford to buy, and talking on a...

    Unhealthy Habits of Nurses

    duskyjewel replied to lynns75's topic in Health, Stress Management

    *sigh* You didn't say that exercise is impossible for you because of a health condition, you said eating better and exercising daily seems impossible as a rule. Maybe if you expressed yourself more...

    That's a whole lot of rationalization in one post. Whew. Eating better and exercising daily are impossible? Then how do you explain those of us who do

    As disagreeable as it gets, really? I think you've been on this board long enough to have seen much worse. If you disagree, fine, but let's not engage in
