    Doing the "Right" thing...

    duskyjewel replied to PhotoJenic's topic in General Nursing

    You absolutely did the right thing and I would have done the same. Also, you now have an AWESOME answer for that question they seem to always ask in interviews: "Tell me about a time you had a...

    What part of the year is best to apply for a CNA position at hospital?

    duskyjewel replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This will vary geographically. Some places have pretty stable populations all year, however where I live in Phoenix Metro, the snowbirds come down from the midwest and Canada for the winter, so...

    duskyjewel replied to kaurb22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Dude.....ARE YOU CRAZY?! You realize that all they have to do is match up your name with your email address, which information you used to sign up for said email address, and they know exactly who...

    cancle my nclex result

    duskyjewel replied to kaurb22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really don't understand these posts. This is the exam that determines whether you can be licensed as a nurse. It's literally the end-all-be-all of what you've spent years of schooling to achieve....

    At my wit's end...

    duskyjewel replied to jasonsgirl4eves's topic in General Students

    My sixteen and thirteen year olds don't even talk like this. Actually come to think of it, neither do my 11, 10, or 6 year olds. If they did I would tell them to knock it off because it makes them...

    Sacrificing church to study instead SMH

    duskyjewel replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You really don't see how accusing another Christian of violating the Bible and practicing legalism, and saying that those who formally observe the Sabbath have a relationship merely to a building and...

    Sacrificing church to study instead SMH

    duskyjewel replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    It's clear you don't understand faiths that require formal observance of the Sabbath, and that's fine, I'm just asking you not to talk pejoratively about us. Orthodox Jews are obeying the command to...

    White scrubs?

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

    All white scrubs....why....just why do they do this?! Never mind the job, I have five children and a dog. White scrubs are a bad

    Sacrificing church to study instead SMH

    duskyjewel replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You know, it's really offensive to say that those of us who practice a religion where we are actually required to attend services have a relationship with a building. No. We have a relationship with...

    HELP PLEASE! New grad nurse about to quit new Nurse job before orientation is over.

    duskyjewel replied to NewGradKH's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "I'm not enjoying my job." Really? Whatever gave you the notion that you would always enjoy your job? There's a reason they have to pay people to do these things..... I mean, personally, I do like...

    Sacrificing church to study instead SMH

    duskyjewel replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I've struggled with this too. I don't use work to justify missing Mass, especially because I have so many options for times and places to attend around my work hours. However, I also think saying it...

    Sacrificing church to study instead SMH

    duskyjewel replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Either God is first or He isn't. Bottom line. You have to choose and be comfortable with how you will justify that choice when you stand before the Throne. Are any of us perfect? Nope. Can we...

    duskyjewel replied to SU2013's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When you say "God bless you" because you mean it, and want good things to happen, then it's fine. Even most people who don't share your beliefs won't be offended, because they understand you are...

    Crock pot and lower your standards for the house. Are your kids old enough to help with housework? Mine all have regular chores that rotate each week, and it's a huge help. The crock pot is awesome...

    When you have a minute

    duskyjewel replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    And that's exactly why I ditched the hospital. I hope to never work in one again. People talk about hospital jobs like they are the end all, be all of nursing and you must get one. Been there, done...

    duskyjewel replied to funtimes's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    funtimes, you're giving me bad memories of the 7 months I spent on a tele unit in the hospital. Your posts sound exactly like most of my nights. To the people insisting this tech has no idea what...

    An Unapologetic Reasoning On Why You Don't Want To Be A Nurse.

    duskyjewel replied to Mr Midwife's topic in General Students

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I may only be a CNA yet, but I see those threads where someone has failed NCLEX 4 or more times and most of the posts are all about not letting it get...

    Do the CNAs or RNs do personal care

    duskyjewel replied to RNtobe23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You'd be amazed how many nurses do just that. I'm grateful to now work in a place where that doesn't really ever happen, but in the hospital where I used to work? Par for the course, never mind the...
