    Is there CNA overnight work in Home Health?

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

    I've seen home care agencies post job ads for overnight shifts in my area, and I've worked overnight private duty shifts through my own hospice employer. They're out there, keep

    So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    duskyjewel replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    There is no obligation of any kind, anywhere, that could make me choose to miss my own child's wedding. I'm sorry that you have to live with the regret UnaNayeli. NurseQT, you should tell your...

    So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    duskyjewel replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    When you're sitting by your dad's hospice bed, or in your own OP, do you want to remember the joy of sharing your dad's birthday at this time, or do you want to remember being a "good employee" to a...

    Great tips for studying... review syllabus first!!

    duskyjewel replied to isa_salud's topic in General Students

    My sixth and eighth graders came home this week with a syllabus for each class that we both had to sign indicating we had read it and agreed to abide by the stated class policies and homework rules....

    Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    duskyjewel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I took my school notebook, cellphone, 12 pens, calculator, and an ipad with NCLEX flash card app to the testing center, and got into my locker during the bathroom break. They caught me looking but I...

    Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    duskyjewel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We can't do that....then the island would become overpopulated and capsize. If you think that's ridiculous, a congressman actually thought it could happen to Guam so...... Rep. Hank Johnson Thinks...

    Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    duskyjewel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Does it make me super-mean that I always think, "Just don't be a nurse?" I guess I just believe that after the third strike, the universe is trying to tell you

    New grad RN in LTC/rehab, feeling conflicted

    duskyjewel replied to Cynnie24's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're in a similar position to a new military officer straight out of college. His NCOs have been around forever and know their you-know-what, and he'd be a fool not to rely on them. As long as the...

    Does it matter where you get your nursing degree from?

    duskyjewel replied to kcsunshine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tell your prestige-concerned family members that when they come up with a way to help you finance said prestige, then they are allowed to have an opinion, but until then, since you have to pay the...

    Great tips for studying... review syllabus first!!

    duskyjewel replied to isa_salud's topic in General Students

    It's really sad to me that this thread is even necessary. What are they doing in our high schools these days when they turn out people who don't even have basic study skills like this? Don't get me...

    duskyjewel replied to jwright343's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This seems to be another new grad who doesn't understand the concept of paying your dues. The job market absolutely sucks. Everyone looking is having a hell of a time finding a job right now, never...

    Coworker is Innappropriate

    duskyjewel replied to missnurse89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    While the idea of us all acting like grownups and working things out among ourselves seems ideal and attractive, I completely see JadeLPN's point. People are unstable and feel entitled too much these...

    Sacrificing church to study instead SMH

    duskyjewel replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    No, the purpose of a church is for us to render our duty, obedience, worship, and love to our creator. Making fellowship the center makes humans the center, and that's wrong. God should be our...
