  1. Is there a spot for CNA's on this forum?

    NicInNC replied to najahlei's topic in General Nursing

    Sheri, Did you enjoy home health care? I just pased my CNA test and need to find a job. I want in the hospital, but right now, the hours won't work for me. They only have openings for three 12-hour...

  2. Is there a spot for CNA's on this forum?

    NicInNC replied to najahlei's topic in General Nursing

    I wish they had a forum specifically for CNA's. I was taking the CNA class and I passed my CNA exam last night. YAY ME!!!! Not sure where I'll be getting a job though. So many places are hiring...

  3. do any of you work in anything other than ltc as an LPN?

    NicInNC replied to Princess74's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    :rotfl: You're too funny. I was quite surprised when I saw all the job openings. And I don't think any of them require previous experience. I currently taking my pre-reqs for the ADN program, but I...

  5. Certified Medication Technician

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, I'm still learning. I'm not even IN the Nursing program yet, so I have a LOT to learn yet. I guess by knowing a family member with diabetes (hyperglycemia), it SEEMS easy. Some people don't...

  6. I hope this doesn't offend anyone...

    NicInNC replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what she would say if she knew that my hubby calls his a "doodle"?

  7. Certified Medication Technician

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if I should tell my classmates this since they all signed up and already paid for the CMT class. I bet they will be MAD because there are no refunds

  8. Certified Medication Technician

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you read the rest of my replies. I am NOT taking the med tech class. If I'm going to be going to Nursing school anways, then why waste my time on this class when I'll be learning it and...

  9. Sexual health and the elderly

    NicInNC replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We've been studying this in my CNA class. The nurse is violating the Resident's Bill Of Rights. They have the right to privacy during visits with a spouse and to even share a room when they reside in...

  10. Family Sues After Woman Dies From Mistake At Military Hospital

    NicInNC replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's so sad. I just can't imagine... When I was in labor with my 2nd, I had an epidural. They put it in and probably less than a minute later, it suddenly sounded like everyone was far away and in...

  11. NO Lunch-- Ever?!!

    NicInNC replied to Limik's topic in General Nursing

    You need to tell them that certain staff may have health problems where they HAVE to eat a lunch. I have hypoglycemia and if I don't eat, my blood sugar drops quickly and I pass out. Thankfully I can...

  12. ER violence

    NicInNC replied to night fox's topic in Emergency

    I'm not a nurse yet (almost a CNA though and then on to finish the rest of my pre-reqs for the ADN!), but one thing I've always noticed in our ER when I've been there is homeless people. Security is...

  13. Pfapa

    NicInNC posted a topic in Pediatric

    Anyone ever heard of this? My daughter started getting fevers when she was 2. She would spike a fever between 102 and 104.7 (that was the highest and she had a ebrile seizure because of it) every...

  14. Paxil Doesn't Work Anymore---What's Next?

    NicInNC replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    NEVER, EVER feel ashamed about being on medication. I used to have a lot of "issues". While I AM ashamed of some of the things I put myself and others through, I will never be ashemed for having been...

  15. Certified Medication Technician

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU SO MUCH...both of you! I will NOT be taking the class. I thought it sounded odd that a person could learn about all those meds in such a short amount of time. I guess that the CMT's here...

  16. Paxil Doesn't Work Anymore---What's Next?

    NicInNC replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I used to take Effexor XR. That stuff did NOT agree with me at all and the withdrawl was horrible. It took me 2 months to ean off it and I still struggled with withdrawl. I completely understand now...

  17. Assisted living facility not listed on the registry?

    NicInNC posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I will be starting my CNA clinicals at an assisted living facility and I was looking to see if I could find any information about the place. It's not even listed in the yellow pages of the phone book....

  18. How can you say you're not paid well?

    NicInNC replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, my goal will be to save, save, save. They're building a beltway and it's going right through the back of our house. We have no choice, but to move. That will be in about 4 years. We won't have...

  19. How can you say you're not paid well?

    NicInNC replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    After reading through some of the other posts, I'll admit that I didn't factor in the cost of insurance and all that come out of your paychecks. I don't think about that stuff since my husband has all...

  20. How can you say you're not paid well?

    NicInNC replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    I HIGHLY disagree with that statement. My husband makes less than $20/hr and we have lived off his income alone for the past 7 years. It's not easy. We hardly get to go out to eat or do anything...

  21. Black eyes........

    NicInNC replied to dazzle256's topic in General Nursing

    I always have bruises on me from my dogs. Heck, my nastiest, worst looking bruises came from my kids gerbils! They got loose a few times and while I was trying to catch them, I'd dive after them and...

    NicInNC posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone. My name is Nicole. I'm 27 and ADN is my major... This is my 2nd semester and I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology I. Not doing well at all. First of all, my instructor is a MATH TEACHER....

  24. Failing A&P

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it sounded kind of weird to me too. It may not be true. It was the counselor that told me that and so far, I've had counselors, instructors, students, etc all tell me things that I find out to...

  25. Failing A&P

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in General Students

    I went to speak with a counselor after class the other day because I was so upset. She said that they have to have a masters in something along with a certain number of hours. I think that's...
