  1. Cousin commited suicide..could use some prayers guys

    Julie frm Dallas replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Will pray for you. Psalms 147:3 "He heals the broken hearted and binds up their

  2. Why are RN's so fat!

    Julie frm Dallas replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Reminds me of a thread I read at the SDN...a doctor had posted asking how to get the nurses to like him...another doctor replied "give 'em donuts" this was followed by even more degrading posts from...

  3. problems with coworkers...what do you do?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to indierock's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Let me guess, you work in a nursing home? I hate to tell you this but it's been my experience that you will work with far more of these types than any other. Just try to not let it get to you, be...

  4. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    Julie frm Dallas replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    I am a CNA, it's something I told myself I would NEVER do. Well, we all know how that goes. Anyhoo, I didn't care much for it at first but I think after a while you become sort of, desensitized...

  5. diseases common to nurses?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to studentnurse09's topic in General Nursing

  6. Is LTC really this bad?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to Sheri257's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, it really is. Constantly short-staffed, a lot of attitude problems are probably because of the stress caused from the patient/caregiver ratio....and you can pretty much count on being s*it on...

  7. Generational Gap in nursing?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I know exactly what you mean. It is frustrating enough putting up with that attitude at work, then to come onto the boards (as I have in the past) and see a thread titled "What's with these young...

  8. Anyone else "caught" MRSA?

    Julie frm Dallas posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've worked as a CNA in a NH for two years and am taking nursing pre-req's. About two weeks ago I got what I thought were shingles on my inner thigh. Long story short, things got nasty and it turns...

  9. Major Depression and a Nsg Career

    Julie frm Dallas posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I would like to know if anyone out there has had a problem with Major Depression and Panic Disorder and has been able to finish nursing school. I've been on medicine for 5 years now...I started on...

  10. Pros vs. Cons of Geriatrics?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to maryruth's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I did report this to my charge nurse and, to the weekend RN, my charnge nurse just shook her head as if to say, "that's awful" then went about passing her meds. The weekend RN told me she'd "leave...

  11. Major Depression and a Nsg Career

    Julie frm Dallas replied to Julie frm Dallas's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks to all of you who replied, I've been encouraged. It's not so easy to talk about this sort of thing and your responses are

  12. Pros vs. Cons of Geriatrics?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to maryruth's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  13. Pros vs. Cons of Geriatrics?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to maryruth's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I commend anyone for wanting to help our elderly. But to be honest, working in a nursing home is no longer where I want to be. It's not because of the resident's, or so much the workload as...

  14. What was your HARDEST class?

    Julie frm Dallas replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in General Nursing

    The hardest class I have taken was A&P II Lab. A&P I was not that bad, but in particular in part II was the cardiovascular syst...so much information in such a short time...hope you have...

  15. That ain't my resident! I am dumbfounded...

    Julie frm Dallas replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    I could not have said it better myself. To coorporate, it is all about the money. Our census is low right now (low 80's) So they have mandated that one nurse from each shift does not come in and...

  16. How do you deal with lazy nurses??

    Julie frm Dallas replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey, LouisianaNurse...I know there will probably be a reply like "oh, I didn't mean it that way"...but your post is degrading to the younger generation of nurses. In your post, let's take out your...

  17. shaving cream to clean dirty butts??

    Julie frm Dallas replied to old heart's topic in General Nursing

    I became a CNA in May of 2004 and have worked for one nursing home since. During a conversation with my DON I mentioned that I saw one of the other experienced CNAs using shaving creame to provide...

  18. resident falls

    Julie frm Dallas replied to panurse101's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My LTC facility uses a bed alarm (a thin rectangular mat that is placed under the pts rear end while in bed). These are the biggest pain in the neck! They are ALWAYS going off for no reason, and...

  19. Sick of it!!!

    Julie frm Dallas replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    How true. It is so refreshing to read your post. After having most people turn their nose up at me after I tell them what I do for a living, I must admit that until recently, I've been ashamed of...

  20. CNA appreciation :-)

    Julie frm Dallas replied to RainbowzLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't even aware that there was a CNA appreciation week/day. How often I hear the nurses at work call us their "girls". Nevermind the fact that most of the aides are at least 10 years older...
