  1. Signing Off......

    SeattleJess replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    whatsmyusername_RN, I think your user name could be Wise1! I have hope now of being surprised by the friends I'll make in nursing school. After all, like job offers and mates, it only takes one....

  2. Silliest answer someone has said in class?

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

    Interesting! Does that routine start before birth? And have there been any studies about this belief? I would be interested in reading a posting about your

  3. Signing Off......

    SeattleJess replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    dbrenda1510, I second your advice. Don't delay anything. If you are fortunate enough to have dreams, follow them. But if you have delayed, don't assume it's too late. Time will continue to fly by...

  4. Signing Off......

    SeattleJess replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm an oldster who is starting nursing school this September. I hope I have at least one classmate like you! My biggest fear about nursing school is that I will be shunned... and "nobody will play...

  5. Silliest answer someone has said in class?

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

    Oh no! What a tragically ignorant comment! Did she somehow confuse cancer eating up the healthy body with cancer eating up itself in a form of denial/wishful thinking? Such a horrible disease....

  6. Silliest answer someone has said in class?

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

    The consequences of that belief are so flipping scary that it's hard to laugh at it. It doesn't take many fetal alcohol babies to bring home the grim reality of the

  7. How to help with ratios

    SeattleJess replied to Wheels28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've only just started in the healthcare industry, working as a CNA for a few months at a combined TLC/TCU facility and starting nursing school in the fall. It is chilling to see you so accurately...

  8. What nurses don't hear often enough

    SeattleJess replied to Wheels28's topic in Nurses Rock

    I cannot second this enough! You have the power to transform

  9. First two days of LPN program

    SeattleJess replied to CanteWasteWin's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Exciting! Wishing you to find the gift in every experience you have along the way, even the ones that come in ugly wrapping paper.

  10. I failed my patient and lost my temper. What now?

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

    That is an inspiring story, Missingyou. Thank you for being a role model and mentor to me. I need to focus on delivering quality care for patients and keeping my behavior acceptable to myself. The...

  11. Are all CNAs mean

    SeattleJess replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Can't like this

  12. Are all CNAs mean

    SeattleJess replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Very insightful. Also, I find when I'm angry about someone else's behavior that it's useful to look first at my own. Usually there is something I'm doing to contribute to the situation, even if it's...

  13. Those who started out in another department at the hospital...

    SeattleJess replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Took the CNA class, passed the certification exam and worked for several months as a volunteer at the facility that eventually hired me while applying to EVERY possible job listing within an hour's...

  14. Should I get my CNA over the summer?

    SeattleJess replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to work as a CNA before nursing school only to get experience that will help you in nursing school, then go to one of the far less expensive and time-consuming CNA schools. Pick one that...

  15. Do you chart lies?

    SeattleJess replied to RNdynamic's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your integrity. Of course you are correct in what you say. Why do any of us waste even a second struggling with these questions? Because we don't want to pay the price, forgetting that...

  16. I failed my patient and lost my temper. What now?

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

    Thank you for your excellent, insightful, useful advice and the clear, objective procedures. Ask once. Tell the nurse. Then it's no longer my business. Don't tilt at windmills or culture....

  17. veeb fall 2014 homework

    SeattleJess replied to nurseonoriode's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My first day of class is September 24 with "orientation" the day before. We had our first orientation in June to check our immunization, give us a partial class schedule, answer some general questions...

  18. veeb fall 2014 homework

    SeattleJess replied to nurseonoriode's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yipes! I'm going to be sure to sign onto the online site we were given at our first orientation to make sure I'm prepared. Once again, allnurses saves me. Thanks, youse

    SeattleJess replied to NuevaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Some really useful and sane stuff in here. Thank

  20. First CNA job in homecare?

    SeattleJess replied to marie4nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Also, I found that many clients in homecare want you to do things like vacumn, iron, do laundry, cook... valuable skills and services but not things that help YOU to meet your goals of getting the...

  21. First CNA job in homecare?

    SeattleJess replied to marie4nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There is a lot to be said for anything to get a start. I do think that the advantages of being a CNA in LTC (unlikely in my area you can start at a hospital) are that you have support, training and...

  22. veeb fall 2014 homework

    SeattleJess replied to nurseonoriode's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Whoa.... homework at orientation? My orientation is still more than a month away and somehow I didn't think homework would be part of it. Thanks for the consciousness shift and good luck finding your...

  23. Are all CNAs mean

    SeattleJess replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Also kind of wise. Trying to have everyone like you will cause you to end up with no one liking you... including yourself. How someone else treats you is never about you; it's always about

  24. Are all CNAs mean

    SeattleJess replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work at a large facility with many CNAs for whom English is a second language. They are highly skilled CNAs with many, many years of experience. All are highly competent at their jobs and quite a...

  25. I cried at work is it embarrassing? How do I get over this?

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