    5th time nclex taker

    Glycerine82 replied to mnelmac's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really think its important to know how not to kill your patient, so I would try to find a review course and if that doesn't work I would take it as a sign that this isn't the career for you....

    Flu Vaccine. Necessary or Harmful?

    Glycerine82 replied to UnbrokenRN09's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would rather take my chances with the Flu too, because I don't really care if I get it. I would not rather take my chances and risk giving it to a patient who can't get the shot themselves and I...

    Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

    Glycerine82 replied to Faro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I see this an an ancient thread, so I won't go off like I was going to. Being a CNA is not for everyone, and certainly is hard work. I am both a CNA and a CMA and I much prefer taking care of 8-10...

    THANK YOU for your sacrifice and THANK YOU to your husband for his service. Your job does not deserve you!

    How do you feel about mandatory influenza vaccines?

    Stupid, I know, but more bad representations of NURSES on tv!

    Glycerine82 replied to uRNmyway's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I said the same thing to my husband. What was weird was at first she waved her hand to dry it, and then she blew on it. How about the o2 tanks that really only last a few hours at most.

    What do you think about this? Giving narcan to addicts, their friends and family.

    Glycerine82 replied to Mulan's topic in Patient Medications

    If you've been there than you have the right to say you're sure. I retract my statement. I've been there as well. No

    New CNA starting job search...need salary help!

    Glycerine82 replied to melijm's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA's make nothing. Overtime is the best! It sucks, but that's the way it is, sadly. I think the mentality is that we don't go to school, so we don't get a decent wage. It's insane because...

    Is CNA school hard? what was your experience?

    What do you think about this? Giving narcan to addicts, their friends and family.

    Glycerine82 replied to Mulan's topic in Patient Medications

    Don't be so sure, unless you've actually been there. Addiction is a horrible disease and when your loved one actually is addicted to heroin and needs help its not as easy as "not having contact"....

    "Don't bother talking to residents with dementia.....

    Glycerine82 replied to Coffee bean's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Is it possible she meant don't bother trying to reason with them? You should always, always talk to pts with dementia, but you should never try to reason with them because perception is reality. Its...

    Another vent about nurse vs aide

    Glycerine82 replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are lazy people in every profession. There are lazy aides and lazy nurses. One job isn't harder than the other they are just hard in different ways. Until you work both jobs you'll never really...

    Another vent about nurse vs aide

    Glycerine82 replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work on a rehab unit and the nurses get all of their own vitals. There are a few reasons for this. The first is the ratio, there are WAY more of them than us. They usually have 5 pts to our 9....

    Anyone else offended by this radio commercial?

    Glycerine82 replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely! Totally with ya. These people need help. I can't imagine not being able to go to the toilet on my own or having to have someone wash me from head to toe. I've never found it demeaning,...

    Glycerine82 replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    I am offended by anyone thinking that there is anything "wrong" with being a CNA. Best part of the day is stocking shelves? What? Taking care of people is the best part of my day. When a patient...

    Rude/ Inconsiderate nurses during clinicals

    Glycerine82 replied to Nonetheless's topic in General Students

    For a student, you don't seem like you want to learn much. These lovely nurses are giving you advice. If I were you, I'd take

    Nursing makes me hate fat people

    Glycerine82 replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm going to refrain from commenting on the opinions made since I'll likely get in trouble. There are lots of ways to turn heavy patients, alone even, without hurting yourself. It depends on the...

    Piercings and Nursing

    Glycerine82 replied to Wootenn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I haven't read the other posts, but I would think that would be a huge issue for a couple of reasons. The main ones being infection control and possible skin tears to the patients. All you'd have to...

    Please, don't be "that" aide.

    Glycerine82 replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I understand what you're saying, and its not appropriate for anyone to pull you aside and correct you in the middle of patient care. I will say though, that as a new aide, the only way you are going...

    Another vent about nurse vs aide

    Glycerine82 replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've experienced this also. In my opinion a good nurse knows a good cna is worth their weight in gold. Most of the time I have had good experiences, but I've worked with a few bad apples. Have you...

    Calling in sick on 4th shift

    Glycerine82 replied to greyL's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you're saying because whenever I'd work as secretary I wouldn't shower when I got home. I just think that as a CNA I'm especially filthy by the end of the shift

    Glycerine82 replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    If you don't want to be a nurse, you will likely hate it. It is NOTHING like what the average person thinks it is. I joke that I work in healthcare and STILL want to do it, so that must say...
