  1. FLAME ON!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    My god, I read so many of those original "annoying" posts. I keep going, yep I know which post they talking

  2. Day 2 of a new grad - so much uncertainty

    RescueNinjaKy replied to hollybambam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My response is just do it. No one expects you to get everything right the first time. It's the mistakes that make for a great learning experience. Don't know how to call the doc, just do it. He'll let...

  3. FLAME ON!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Love it when people don't get the answer they want then say it's bullying. Then some genius jumps in with "where's your empathy as a nurse" abs proceed to act like a saint. Honey, you're not my...

  4. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, to be a cna to get instruction on "touching" patients and communicating with them is not time well spent. Will it get the job done? Yes, but it is not a good way to do so. First semester...

  5. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that your program was just too long. 16 weeks of cna training is ridiculous. It's a rn not cna program. You should be learning rn things. As someone else said, if you were to get...

  6. Incoming to Bismarck

    RescueNinjaKy replied to DatMurse's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that both St. Alexius, and Sanford have incentives for picking up shifts. I agree that it would be nice if the base pay would be higher but honestly cost of living is lower than higher...

  7. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree, my school had it engrained in our minds that we are never too good to do cna work. We did adls, answered call bells, changed beds, assisted with toileting and meals. So frankly, it really...

  8. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    RescueNinjaKy replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I had an a+p professor who pronounced cerebellum and cerebrum the same exact way almost. She pronounced cerebrum correctly and cerebellum as cereblum. Needless to say my class was super confused....

  9. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that it is necessary. As a cna, you are not doing the duties of a nurse, thus you really aren't going to be like "oh this is what nursing is about? I don't like it". Cna does not cover...

  10. Questions about Problem charting at night

    RescueNinjaKy replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't think you will need to notify the physician if it's just prn meds unless there's a reaction, a change or imminent change of

  11. Best (Most affordable, accessible ABSN Program NYC?!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to AllieW's topic in School, College Programs

    Try looking at Hunter but that is competitive. I believe pace university also had an accelerated bsn program but it might be expensive as it is a private

  12. Advice for Nursing schools please!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Apple8's topic in General Students

    Yep exactly what I was trying to convey to op, just about all of us were straight A's. Nursing school is tough, don't assume that because you were that kind of student before that you Will or should...

  13. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Oh gee reading posts from a public forum entails to stalking, someone call the internet

  14. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dylan would have a spot as long as he is superior

  15. Advice for Nursing schools please!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Apple8's topic in General Students

    Ah I see the confusion, I was responding to the op but it appears she deleted her "angry" retort to a previous poster in which she claims that the poster was assuming that she's stupid and that the...

  16. Advice for Nursing schools please!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Apple8's topic in General Students

    I think you misinterpreted what I said, I didn't say that they accepted a high number of people just to keep up nclex scores, rather that the reality of many nursing school, at least in my time, is...

  17. Advice for Nursing schools please!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Apple8's topic in General Students

    The reality in nursing school is that most who get in were straight A's and few B's students too. And it is not uncommon that a school have a drastically lower graduation number. In order for a school...

  18. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You should see his other ridiculous post on 2 inch+ heels for nursing shoes. Strikes me as a mocking misogynist stir the pot poster to

  19. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a male nurse and I've seen plenty of males who shouldn't be nurses in the first place either. I don't see the need to increase the amount of male nurses deliberately just because there are more...

  20. Paracenthesis at the bedside

    RescueNinjaKy replied to jj5128's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Look at your facility's policies and your state's board of

  21. Failed Clinical

    RescueNinjaKy replied to mcnulty's topic in General Students

    If you haven't gotten your rn yet I suggest that you try going the more traditional bsn/rn first or an accelerated bsn/rn. Nursing is a tough field and even more so if you're trying to do NP. Hey...

  23. Not Being Respected as a CNA

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Dani2389's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just like how you get some rude nurses, you will encounter some rude cnas when you become a nurse. It's not about being in the same shoes or not, it's just simply how life works. Sure it would be...

  24. How many chapters?!?!

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Ancher's topic in General Students

    Just a question, was the reading assigned with only a week's time ? I ask this because I have had to read almost half a book for a unit exam before but never in one week. If you were procrastinating...

  25. Not Being Respected as a CNA

    RescueNinjaKy replied to Dani2389's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Honey, you will get it everywhere so my advice is just to start dealing with it now. Doesn't matter what you are, you will get disrespect from others. When I was a nursing student got it from cnas,...
