    A calling to help others but give me a good paycheck

    duskyjewel replied to runningcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    My question was directed at RNsRWe, since she was the one with whom I was discussing the concept of "calling." Did you even read my previous post on this thread about how I am feeling "called"?...

    advice re dismissal from accelerated BSN program

    duskyjewel replied to angeweise's topic in General Students

    The LPN program I'm waiting to get into has an evening option. Since LPN is regarded as vocational training, it's more likely to have those kinds of options, so maybe look into that. You can always...

    A calling to help others but give me a good paycheck

    duskyjewel replied to runningcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    I know we're getting off on a tangent, but I wonder then what you think God's role is? Distant but uninvolved director? Many talk of a personal relationship with Jesus, which is impossible if He's...

    duskyjewel replied to runningcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I hate our when people call us angels. I get that they mean it as a compliment, but we're human beings not angels. We're not perfect. Do you believe that God ever calls people to their...

    Drug testing in the work force

    duskyjewel replied to rebeccarcook's topic in General Nursing

    So, so true. I've worked with people stone cold sober who will handle a Hep C patient's bed linens ungloved, then get into the med cart without washing their hands. I hate to think if there was a...

    A calling to help others but give me a good paycheck

    duskyjewel replied to runningcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    As a person who is currently being shoved along the nursing path by the good Lord, I can understand why some might feel it as a calling. Personally, I feel much about it as you do, but never expected...

    Creative rec. ideas

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

    I was going to suggest tinkering of some type when you said he was a factory worker. I heard a story once about one of our dementia patients who had been an aerospace engineer, and he was happiest...

    Narc Count Disaster

    duskyjewel replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    And that's never happened anywhere, ever, with a nurse, right? Med techs or not, no one should alter a med count. Counts are performed to prevent problems, but also to identify when and with whom...

    PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    Isn't it also just natural? As in, "Hey boss, I don't have XYZ which I need for ABC on Patients W, T, and F. When can we expect to get

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

    I'm not even sure this job counts as employment hours for renewing your CNA certification. Be aware of that risk, because usually for those hours to count, they need to be with an agency or in a...

    That this is occurring in 2014 is absolutely ridiculous. Every school should have a men's uniform and a women's uniform. If my kids' elementary and prep schools can figure that out, why can't a...
