    missmollie replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    OP, I do hope you go through nursing school and find that you love being a nurse. You needed to give it more time, because the job as a CNA is overwhelming at first. It does, however, give...

    missmollie posted a topic in General Students

    I passed my boards today, and my first thought was "Yes, I can add RN to my title on allnurses!" So excited to join this profession, but even more happy that I never have to take a nursing school...

    Quit during orientation

    missmollie replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Well, considering the OP just decided to quit, what type of care do you think those 15 patients are going to receive when they are short-staffed? You can't change the organization in the first 2...

    Test day ritual?

    missmollie replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    Every test day I would buy a pack of gum and 1 regular pack of starburst. If I opened the pack of starburst and it was red or pink, then I was going to do well on the test. I handed out the gum to...

    missmollie replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I am glad you quit. The nurses need an aide that recognizes the value in her job, and the patient(s) deserve someone committed to their well

    missmollie replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a lady with a really deep southern accent. I asked her "Is there anything I can do for you before I leave?" Her response: What country are you from? You ain't got no accent I've ever heard...

    does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    missmollie replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    If you love it then go for it, and if you hate your job then change the way you think about your job. Working LTC is demanding, but you have the ability to apply the same principles of nursing that...

    does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    missmollie replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    Working in LTC can be both mentally and physically grueling. School is the same way. I really like the earlier story about the farmer, because it's so often true. Whatever our perceptions are...

    Help! I'm petitioning for readmission into nursing!

    missmollie replied to eaglebritt's topic in General Students

    Part of what you'll want to do is ensure everything is in past tense. Never use the words "thing", "it", and "that" Example: "The main thing was that I do not have good study habits and when I do...

    missmollie replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    First and foremost, change your picture. You want to remain anonymous on this website, especially with posting what you just did. Secondly, I did have an incident similar to this one, and I just said...

    missmollie replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I have a goal of 200 practice questions a day before I take the NCLEX. Went online, went to imgur, lost three hours of time. It doesn't help that they let you scroll through pages in the laziest way...

    Is this abuse?

    missmollie replied to isthisok's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would report it. It kills me that anyone who signs up to do this job would treat a resident like that, and you have a responsibility to keep that resident safe. Tell your instructor if you're just...

    missmollie replied to wanna_be's topic in General Students

    Every mother has been there, at that point where we just cry because nothing is making the baby happy. Crying for 12 hours is a little excessive, but I think it was highly negligent of your clinical...

    Un-supportive Influences!!

    missmollie replied to TakilaNasirRN's topic in General Students

    I like the word "No". Sometimes, when I'm polite, I will respond with "No, but thank you for asking." Your friends and acquaintances will never understand the rigors of nursing school. When you say...
