  1. Several things are making me consider dropping nursing school

    neuron replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    I do not think you should quit. You do not have long to go. There has to be something in 'nursing' you like. Hema/Oncology, med-surg, BMT, NICU, etc. You do not have to stay a

  2. I am Afraid. Please Pray for Me.

    neuron replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I do not believe it is the 'nurse's' responsibility to 'pray' with the patient. It depends on the relationship she/he has with the patient. The hospital might not be fond of nurses praying with...

  3. I flunked out of clinical today..

    neuron replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    Maybe you should tell her (or in your letter) that you were 'nervous' about not having your watch. Apologize. Let her/them know that you did not know how to react. Let them also know that your...

  4. Question about R.N

    neuron posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Hi, I have a question. I want to do PICU nursing and I would like to get employment in a PICU. I have a CNA, I most certainly do not have the skills as an R.N., but my question is 'what if the R.N....

  5. Question about R.N

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    One comment to add, it was my first time on an ICU unit at a pediatric

  6. Question about R.N

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    umcRN, I was not upset, I responded to 'how small' the bed appeared (it was Christmas time). Some nurses are 'protective' of thier patients. But if one gossips/surfs internet for all to see/texts in...

  7. Question about R.N

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Ashley, It has been my experience that if you 'show a supervisor' you care - in this case R.N.'s, you should be careful. So you did say 'show the staff that you care about the patients..you will get...

  8. CNA state exam in about 1 week

    neuron replied to nictheonedaynurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It seems like you will do fine on BP. Do not rely on the handbook, memorize the steps. Only my advice. Good

  9. Question on Washcloth and bathing

    neuron replied to ngazza's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A couple of soapy wash cloths should be fine (as others stated), using WARM

  10. Patient Fall

    neuron replied to Nursey1111's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would look for another place to work. A nurse that is saying something that you did not do and she did not check on? Bad news. She will cover her behind. Report her

  11. Physically Asssulted at work

    neuron replied to theview's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would say go back to the 'original' paperwork. There had to have been statements about workplace violence along with what the hospital is protected by. Go to your human resources office and request...

  12. Physically Asssulted at work

    neuron replied to theview's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am sorry this happened. Did you sign the 'free of liability' papers before you started work? There is a risk with working with psychiatric

  13. Confessions Of A Nurse With Poor Interpersonal Skills

    neuron replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    TheCommuter, I do not think there is anything wrong with you. There is something wrong with these 'supervisors'. 'Caring' does not always involve 'fitting' in. If you have to assist in saving a...

  14. Is it worth it to become a CNA on my road to becoming a nurse?

    neuron replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA could not hurt. It should help you get a job and

  15. Horrified at what I have seen go on in this nursing home

    neuron replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree.If you look on the state registry (at least in CA), it is almost guaranteed that on the first and second page, and so on, you will see 'license revoked' or 'license denied'. Haven't looked at...

  16. Horrified at what I have seen go on in this nursing home

    neuron replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The state follows the direction of the RN's. Indeed they are responsible for 'verifying' if they believe the candidate will be appropriate or not. Indirect care and dignity are graded on the state...

  17. Horrified at what I have seen go on in this nursing home

    neuron replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Some CNA's in CA should not be CNA's. RN's certify them. Maybe they should be held

  18. Older LPN

    neuron posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have been thinking about getting an LPN license. For service, I started volunteering at Children's Hospital and I really felt that I wanted to help either critically ill children or physically...

  19. Older LPN

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    The program is 1 year. I might have to look in to hospitals hiring

  20. Older LPN

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Good job Hgrimmett. All women of all ages can go into nursing. My mom got her BSN at 45 but the Board of Nursing would not give her a license due to her felony

  21. Older LPN

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Wldchrry. I see a lot of young nurses at Children's Hospital and did not know if there was preference. While I do not discriminate, I know people
