  1. Unwanted 'diagnosis'!

    seanynjboy replied to WinterLilac's topic in General Nursing

    JUST BECAUSE every time I hear the term "Herbalist" I think of this comedy bit...pretty funny. But yeah, I am in no way a fan of Herbalists and just trying to diagnose someone by looking at them for...

  2. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

    seanynjboy replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

    It is not so much that it is a tech school. That is not the big deal. What you care about is their specific accreditation. Better to look for a tech school that is REGIONALLY ACCREDITED....

  3. How Important Is Money

    seanynjboy replied to Reachgoals's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. I am a CMA

    seanynjboy replied to celeste26's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi Celeste, Let me start by saying that as a CMA, you will not advance too far in your career $$ wise, and are limited in what you can do with your certification. I am in NO WAY putting down MAs as...

  8. Can I accomplish becoming an RN at 26?

    seanynjboy replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dude, I went back to school with basically the SAME grades that you are talking about. I got into nursing school, wanted to quit EVERY DAY because it was consuming my life. I eventually graduated,...

  9. CNA impersonating RN

    seanynjboy replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of school districts are going the way towards MAs and CNAs acting as school health workers with an RN "overseeing" their work. It still should be reported to the state board that a person is...

    seanynjboy replied to TanyaWilson's topic in General Nursing

    seanynjboy replied to ironman53's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I never thought I would make it through nursing school. I hated it so much for what is was doing to me mentally, personally, and physically. After finally finishing and getting my RN I look back and...

  16. How old is too old to pursue an MSN?

    seanynjboy replied to Ancientnurse18's topic in General Nursing

    No one is ever too old to continue their education. If you have a thirst for knowledge, why not quench it :) (Sounds like a Gatorade

  17. Bedside Report

    seanynjboy replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    We did bedside report on the floor the patients (most) LOVED it. It gave them a chance to be a part of their care and have a small sense of what will be going on during the day and a recap of what...

    seanynjboy replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have been involved in both an EPIC and CERNER barcode transitions from paper to electronic. EPIC is WAY easier to use in my opinion. Cerner has way too many things to click through. EPIC has its...

  21. IV pushes

    seanynjboy replied to #NurseB's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm sorry but I have to say this..that person you work with is not safe. Let us know if she decides to "SLAM" a patient with Lasix IV. Push slow on most things and when in doubt call pharmacy....

  22. I HATE bedside nursing

    seanynjboy replied to Sabr's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I did not like bedside nursing either. I got out of it after 6 months in a hospital. I actually did a 1 month stint in home care and didn't like that. I worked contract IT and I helped implement...

    seanynjboy replied to melme's topic in First Year After Licensure

  24. Should I wear this to the next staff meeting?

    seanynjboy replied to Guttercat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think this shirt is rather hilarious. It is so true. Safety (although it has been taught to be our number 1 priority) often falls to the wayside unfortunately. You know...because it is safe for...
