    And your

  4. Direct care nursing question

    SeattleJess replied to jpelston's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Gosh, I hope it's not physician-dependent! I'm a lowly CNA and I lather on the barrier cream the first time I see red skin regardless of whether the care plan explicitly requires it. I leave...

  5. I did it!

    SeattleJess replied to Donna2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    EXCELLENT! I am so happy for you. Now you can bring your gifts to work where it really, really

  6. Wellness Care Plan - What does this guy want from me?

    SeattleJess replied to Nrsng_School=he11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You need to talk to your instructor. This is not going to be the only time you have difficulty understanding a supervisor... or a coworker. Use the comments here as preparation, not substitution, for...

  7. Writing a paper for Intro to Nursing class

    SeattleJess replied to kaseyk's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Or what interests you now that you're in the profession. Try writing a free association list of these things. For me, the list could start with building a common culture in an increasingly diverse...

  8. Wellness Care Plan - What does this guy want from me?

    SeattleJess replied to Nrsng_School=he11's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You can also rewrite his instructions, inserting any assumptions you're making, and ask him to read it to let you know whether you've understood correctly. Also, can you ask him to put a sample paper...

  9. Acute Care CNA Certification?

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

    I'm trusting that class will be helpful to you. It shows you were willing to spend your time and money to increase your learning and your six days of clinicals are six days more than any other new CNA...

  10. 1st Day at Memory Care ALF

    SeattleJess replied to Workhardbekind's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is a GREAT "book," DuskyJewel. It could be an article all on its own. Thanks for taking the time to share excellent tips. Getting in front where to resident can see you, looking into his/her eyes...

  11. So nervous for the skills test

    SeattleJess replied to abbypoo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    BOLD is GOLD! Be sure you know and say these out

  12. failed my TEAS test

    SeattleJess replied to nurse2262-2b's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    That's not the format I recall from the TEAS V at all. Did you get the ATI manual and online practice

  13. failed my TEAS test

    SeattleJess replied to nurse2262-2b's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I agree. I wanted to write a helpful answer but I couldn't make sense out of the sample test question you gave. Could you give us some more information about our background and what's hard for you so...

  14. Throwing out pillows!? Does anyone else do this!?

    SeattleJess replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Fabulous motto! I'm going to start passing it around where I work. SPEND IT LIKE YOU OWN IT. Thanks,

  15. HELP. I plan to major in Nursing but one problem: I don't like science.

    SeattleJess replied to loveangie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I resemble that remark! I was psych major, got a BS degree with, quantitative methods, two quarters of statistics, genetics, microbiology, organic chem and quite a few quarters of independent...

  16. Instructor not allowing recording devices

    SeattleJess replied to 2Bmurseincharge's topic in General Students

    Read before class is my number one tip. Then you can actively listen in class to fill in the blanks, find answers to questions that came up for you, see what the instructor is stressing (and leaving...

  17. Debt and Nursing School

    SeattleJess replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in General Students

  18. How Much Study & Prep Time to Allow for 1st Year Clinicals?

    SeattleJess posted a topic in General Students

    I'm juggling how to fit school and work together. I'll start my first year of nursing school in September. People who have experienced the first quarter of nursing school, I need your experience and...

  19. Paper (Yes, I know I shouldn't sweat the small stuff...)

    SeattleJess replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Staples had some dollar packs in my area. College ruled notebook paper and composition notebooks. I'm a stationeryaholic. I can't complain about the basics because it's the super-duper bright colored...

  20. I was fired from my first CNA job after four months, I feel cheated...

    SeattleJess replied to Fortsucc's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow. I guess this is a good time to use the internet acronym, "***!" I am so very sorry this happened to you. In my short time as a CNA, I've seen residents with dementia tell family members they've...

  21. How Much Study & Prep Time to Allow for 1st Year Clinicals?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    That's a wonderful idea to try to get the paperwork done during the shift. I didn't expect I'd be allowed to pick patients and I'm surprised that any program lets you do that. I was thinking that prep...

  22. How Much Study & Prep Time to Allow for 1st Year Clinicals?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    Twelve to twenty hours... HOLEY MOLEY! I should probably just quit my job

  23. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    SeattleJess replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks, Wheels, for a post that goes "above and beyond!"

  24. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    SeattleJess replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    RNsRwe's response is so much classier and helpful than my knee-jerk "stupid ass admins!!!" What an excellent way to produce burn-out, cynicism and lack-of-job-satisfaction. In contrast, one of the...

  25. How Much Study & Prep Time to Allow for 1st Year Clinicals?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    Wow, this is actually about what I was suspecting I'd need, based on previewing the text on "nursing diagnosis." (What a confusing topic.) Though you're correct, no point in panicking until I get to...
