  1. Alzheimer's Disease

    SeattleJess replied to lprutean's topic in Nurses Rock

    Iprutean, thank you for your heartful, well-written article. I had to take some time before responding because it brought up so many emotions. Still don't feel able to name everything I feel but I...

  2. Alzheimer's Disease

    SeattleJess replied to lprutean's topic in Nurses Rock

    Oh, yes! Family members who insist on telling the person with AD that they are wrong, that they live here now and can't go home or maybe worst of all, that their spouse has been dead for years so that...

  3. Stressed pre-nursing undergrad

    SeattleJess replied to student789's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I loved organic and biochemistry so maybe I'm not your best source for advice on the subject. However, I was anxious about the tests (which were difficult for everyone) and I did need to spend...

  4. Did I take the bait (for profit school)?

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

    ...or prerequisite grades,

  5. I will keep using MCQ for passing my exams regardless school policy. I just need to

    SeattleJess replied to ismelp5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OH NO!!! I guess I should have dug deeper. I didn't come across the fact that the site is selling access. Thank you, rob4546. I change my comment to "DANGER! DANGER! ABORT!

  6. Pearson Vue: Bullies?

    SeattleJess replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    If only! If

  7. Best Places to Buy/Rent Student Books

    SeattleJess replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    I used BookRenter through my college bookstore when I was doing my prerequisites. Amazon has many rental options, and I rented a book to read over the summer through them. I recommend renting any book...

  8. First week of Nursing School

    SeattleJess replied to Sbrewer777's topic in General Students

    Please, please, please keep us posted! I'm going to be about three weeks behind you. Really curious as to what your clinicals will be like and how much outside time is required. How wonderful that you...

  9. I lasted 5 days..

    SeattleJess replied to Cynt87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hope you screamed loud enough for your state survey people to

  10. I lasted 5 days..

    SeattleJess replied to Cynt87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    EKG experience and/or certification seems to be a big one in my area. Some ads seem to want the skills a CNA could get with nurse delegation/nurse delegation-diabetes training. But I'm not speaking...

  11. You can do it!!

    SeattleJess replied to chee23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I love this story, both the outcome and your husband's refusal to give up when he hit his first negative. So proud of him for his achievement and you for the support I know you gave. Well

  12. I will keep using MCQ for passing my exams regardless school policy. I just need to

    SeattleJess replied to ismelp5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. I'd expect that a plagiarism/cheating site would ask you to pay something. Like those sites that give you access to essays for either money or submission of a paper with a good grade. (I...

  13. I will keep using MCQ for passing my exams regardless school policy. I just need to

    SeattleJess replied to ismelp5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked at this website. It doesn't appear to be restricted to instructors at all. It does appear to provide instant feedback on multiple choice questions based on a Fundamentals of Nursing 5th ed....

  14. Study Assistance Advice!

    SeattleJess replied to MamaMia,RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I won't be a nursing student until the 25th of September but... I had a wonderful A&P instructor who used NCLEX-type questions on his exams. Students complained but he always replied, "You'll use...

  15. Nursing School Oopsies

    SeattleJess replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for starting this thread (song)inmy(heart) and to all those who contributed. I feel both relieved and terrified as my first day of nursing school rushes toward me. I'm...

  16. Can I get in trouble because one of my residents fell?

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

    That's a good idea but I have never even heard of walking rounds before, let alone seen it

  17. HHA turned maid

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

    Yes, it's all a matter of degree and how far you're willing to stretch. I interviewed with one lovely, lovely couple for a HHA position through an agency. My entire job would have consisted of cooking...

  18. HHA turned maid

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

    I'm just going to repeat what has already been said. This is a high-risk situation for you. If your client is developing pressure ulcers while under your care, you are going to be presumed to be...

  19. HHA turned maid

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

    The voices of reason have spoken! Yep, I'm not all the way through reading this thread but from the time I finished the opening post I was thinking, "Get out of there!" No trouble getting a job? Then...

  20. So nervous for the skills test

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

    All the tips stated before this. Also, eat well, exercise and sleep well. Talk through the steps when you take the test. It will keep you calm and reassured you know what you're doing and will help...

  21. A Frustrating Code

    SeattleJess replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Emergency

    Love the cut to the chase language! Have you considered changing your screen name to Been there, done that, now I'm throwing you a

  22. What do i need to know or to expect coz im still a newbie.

    SeattleJess replied to nurseEsteve's topic in Addictions

    Remember that you have the power to change lives in an amazing way! Not just your patient's life, but that one and every life connected to it. My father got sober because a nurse in a VA rehab asked...

  23. Creative rec. ideas

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

    Oh, I love this idea! The people I work with are in a happier place when they are telling their stories. There is so much richness they have to share! The part of the mind that deals with shapes,...

  24. Nursing School and Work Experience

    SeattleJess replied to michelle99's topic in General Students

    Amen to that! I've surprised at what I've seen some of the experienced CNAs do. Best never to have started down that

  25. I lasted 5 days..

    SeattleJess replied to Cynt87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey, roaches are NOT a standard feature of LTC! Hospitals in my area don't consider new CNAs; they usually want a year of experience (and once or twice I saw six months) before you can even apply and...
