    Pets to People posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My money situation is desperate right now and the only job offer I have had (after puting in atleast 30 applications) is at a non-skilled, long-term care facility. The pay is great but the job is so...

  2. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    Pets to People replied to Pets to People's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you all for your support, I appreciate your comments. I have decided that it is just not practical to take the ICU job, there is just no way. I have turned it around in my head every which way...

  3. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    Pets to People replied to Pets to People's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you LadyFree! I will ask, your correct, it wouldn't hurt. Hopefully, if I turn the position down at the ICU, another position at this hospital could still be open to me in the

  4. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    Pets to People replied to Pets to People's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To make it just a little worse, I was offered a job at a very large and amazing hospital in an ICU but it is twice as far away as the non-skilled facility. There is just no way my car would make it,...

  5. New grad at a non-skilled nursing facility?

    Pets to People replied to Pets to People's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Don't judge someone who is in the situation to borrow money for rent. My family and I have worked hard to get to where we are now and have busted our butts in school to get off of food stamps and...

  6. Anatomy and Physiology

    Pets to People replied to claritasd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it makes you feel any better, the cats you dissect are those that shelters were unable to find homes for and were thus euthanized, but so as not to be a total waste, their bodies are donated for...

  7. Are You A Victim?

    Pets to People replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My problem is that I find myself too often trying to help these people. But I have found out 99% of the time that they don't want help, they don't want to change to do better, they just want to whine...

  8. Help!! New LVN having hard time with interviews :/

    Pets to People replied to alytal's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To make the best impression during an interview you should always answer a question put to you as a scenario, whether it is or not, because that gives the interviewer the best impression of what you...

  9. What would you do?

    Pets to People replied to cowgurl89's topic in General Nursing

    And this is a pretty pathetic excuse for a homework assignment for a DNP....this might qualify for a freshman RN, but a doctorate assignment, come

  10. So you think flu vaccinations don't work . . . .

    Pets to People replied to Laidback Al's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This line of thought always cracks me up....."I would like to think/hope most parents do want what is best for their kid" which basically means "I hope parents do what is best for their child" which...

  11. A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    Pets to People replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I didn't realize a nurse's aide could draw blood, other than a finger stick glucose

  12. Norovirus

    Pets to People replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in General Nursing

    It is possible to aerosolize particles while you are cleaning up feces, especially large messes, even if you are careful. Also, you said that you couldn't wash your hands right away so you used...

  13. Prevalence of Christians in the field of nursing

    Pets to People replied to FSUNurse2b's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Why do Christians always think everything started with them? The arrogance and/or ignorance is astounding. "The nursing profession" does not have its roots in Judaeo-Christian traditions butterfly,...

    Pets to People replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    7) Mrs. White thought that the Frontline+ (flea & tick) medication she picked up at her local pet store was to be given orally. Or how about the K-9 frontline or OTC K-9 flea med given to the...

  15. RN in a Vet's office

    Pets to People replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, Orange Tree, you learned to mimic/copy/memorize how to do things because you were trained on the job, but you have no clue why you do those things and the reasoning behind them. I have met many...

  16. LOC or ABC first?

    Pets to People replied to Caffeinated RN's topic in Emergency

    Yes, yes I know, I still haven't gotten in the habit of the CAB, my bad. And I just realized, it is LOC first! If you see someone unconcious you don't just walk up and lay your head on their chest or...

    Pets to People replied to Caffeinated RN's topic in Emergency

  19. Why does Hypoglycemia occur in DM?

    Pets to People replied to brettt's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    If you just consider the basic pathophysiology of diabetes, don't worry about any of the other factors mentioned above, which can be confusing, the reason the BG drops is because the person has...

  20. RN in a Vet's office

    Pets to People replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    For those who think there is not BS when working in a clinic and think it would be a cake retirement job, you're sadly mistaken. Those pets are on a leash, and attached to that leash is a person....

  21. RN in a Vet's office

    Pets to People replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    Seriously!? Why do people who were never actual Vet Tech's in the first place but vet assistants and have no idea what they are talking about always have to pipe in with their vast knowledge? A VT is...

  22. RN in a Vet's office

    Pets to People replied to alrighThen's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow, really?! Guess I shouldn't have wasted all that time in chemistry, biology, microbiology, etc and two years of school and $15,000+ on student loans to get my license to work as a Veterinary...

  23. Up-credentialing: Why the move to the BSN is inevitable.

    Pets to People replied to chuckster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is why a person, no matter what field they work in, must keep their eyes on the future. It's just not realistic anymore, if it ever was, to just get a job and become complacent and expect things...

  24. Unhygienic practices?

    Pets to People replied to worriedabouthygiene's topic in General Nursing

    That reminds me of a vet that I once worked for who would have her assistants (high school students trained on the job that did a little of everything) stay late at least once per month to count all...

    Pets to People replied to Lauraash's topic in General Students

    If you believe you can do it and you want it bad enough, it can be done. I have learned by experience that a person may be amazed by what they can handle when it comes down to it, sometimes you just...
