    Frustrated Patient

    Orion81RN replied to jojomarie26's topic in General Nursing

    That was my point. I was being sarcastic. She seems to believe she knows more than she has previously

    Help! Was job offered at a great hospital as a CNA, so should I postpone nursing school?

    Orion81RN replied to Ptntcrgvr's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know you stated you don't want to work while in nursing school. ALL of my classmates worked, many full time with kids. I didn't have to work full time, but I chose Registry at my hospital. I chose...

    Orion81RN replied to TexasRN89's topic in General Nursing

    I work private duty and the mom was watching Judge Mathis. We do paper charting, and I was charting that the plan was for the pt to return to school Monday (after being sick.) Instead, with Judge...

    What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    Orion81RN replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    But it can take a while to find a new job. Better to call in once when you've just had it instead of quitting with no job yet to go

    Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Orion81RN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Then exactly how is it that you are disagreeing with me? Everything you stated here is my belief, is what I have been stating that you claim to be laughing at. Your statement here does NOT appear to...

    Dear Peds Nurses - A Letter from a very thankful mom

    Orion81RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Thank you so much for sharing! Word of advice, edit out "ambulance drivers" to EMTs and paramedics. I know many of them are understably offended by that. Other than that, thanks so much again again....

    Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Orion81RN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Not a damn thing. They would hear from the BON who visited that they think the curriculum is appropriate and leave it at that. Whose word would they take? The board of nursing and instructors who...

    Orion81RN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    And a quick glance at your posts revealed to me you are indeed an experienced nurse. But admin and DONs of schools will always take the instructors' side. I don't know what world you live in where you...

    There was no snark intended in that MA comment. I truly meant it. I stated IF you don't find the emphasis on critical thinking and more advanced patho your desire, then you could consider an...

    Sued doing private CNA work?

    Orion81RN replied to esrun77's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but in an instance like this where you are not working under an RN or physician, you would not technically be the patient's CNA. Your title would be caregiver,...

    Orion81RN replied to ZachrielX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    99.999% of the time I remain professional. There are those very few occassions where I am outright blunt with a&0 x3 patients. I'm not suggesting this, just saying what I personally may be pushed...

    Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Orion81RN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely get the frustration of not getting, in your opinion, enough hands on technical skills. I was quite frustrated with this myself in *big shock to a pp* my ADN program. Even in clinicals it...

    Orion81RN replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    I read your post in the students forum and chose not to respond because I was speechless. Well, more like the only words I had to say sounded mean. I thought, "is this chick for real???!!!" You put in...

    lateral violence in nursing school

    Orion81RN replied to SugarPlumIce87's topic in General Students

    I experienced major bullying, but I don't want to get into it all. It's too emotional. I just wanted you to know you are not alone. It was so bad I remember sitting in my mental health class after...

    Orion81RN replied to cristygonzalez6's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a community college with an ADN program? Tons cheaper, then do RN to BSN. This doesn't address the underlying issue of why you failed, but just wanted to throw that out
