    NEW GRAD JOB CRISIS!

    duskyjewel replied to ah2829's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I live in Phoenix metro and knew a girl still working as an aide because no one would hire her without a BSN. She finally got an RN job by applying in rural eastern areas of the state where the...

    Tips for first job after graduation

    duskyjewel replied to CSIPAIGE's topic in General Students

    Why should anyone regard mistreatment as normal in their workplace? Demand to be treated as an adult and a professional and don't allow anything

    HELP!! Dismissed from BSN & looking for a new school in NY - TRANSFER NURSING MAJOR

    duskyjewel replied to FutureRNx3's topic in General Students

    Regardless of what you want you have to deal with reality. Maybe LPN to RN to BSN would be the longest route for a student starting fresh, but for you, it may be the shortest because it may be the...

    Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    duskyjewel replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    Especially with the email you saw, you have every right to demand your points and make sure they get the dang machine fixed. That's disgusting that they know the machine is malfunctioning yet still...

    duskyjewel replied to 84RN's topic in General Nursing

    What the.....?! First, did they never hear of a coudé? And second....um, they couldn't put him in a brief until they got a consult for a suprapubic, or decided whatever other course of action?...

    Nurse, Madonna, and waitress??

    duskyjewel replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it's sad that anyone actually thinks selling one's body, being degraded to the status of a masturbatory aid for money.....would be someone's

    How do you deal with a bad clinical instructor?

    duskyjewel replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    Make sure you put all this in the instructor evaluation at the end of the term. Encourage your classmates to do so as well. Those are the only real tool you have for feeding back on issues like...

    duskyjewel replied to LittleCandles's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm still a CNA (hoping to hear from LPN program for Spring) and can't imagine working any shift but night. I filled in on part of a day shift recently and was strongly reminded of why I like nights....

    New CNA

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

    I made more than 8 dollars an hour at my crappy manual labor job in a distribution center for the local newspaper. I made more working at Wendy's. There is no way I'd take the risks we do for so...

    how many of you actually read all the chapters?

    duskyjewel replied to gearedup's topic in General Students

    Makes you wonder why they bother to make you pay for it, huh? Seems like academic malpractice. Either get a book that's good and actually use it, or stop requiring the students to shell out all that...

    Need help! Scope issues!

    duskyjewel posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Please help. I thought that as far as medications went, the ONLY thing a CNA can do is to give reminders, as in, "It's 2:00, time to take X." I thought that handling them in any way is outside our...

    Meh. Hope I didn't just cost myself my job. Three weeks later, same case. Had to email my supervisor. The patient's decline has made the idea that we're assisting with self administration a farce....

    I've never worked anywhere that had a scale for weighing briefs. I'm sure that's common in peds, but with adults? Or maybe I just haven't worked in the right

    duskyjewel replied to Julie Reyes's topic in Nursing Humor

    How sad, No Stars. Honestly, seeing what very overweight patients go through helped motivate me to lose weight and get healthier. I will, however, accept Reese's peanut butter cups, Twix, and Dove...
