    SeattleJess replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SeattleJess replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  8. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SeattleJess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay, you hooked me! I'm off to the library! Actually, I've often thought that 10 year contracts with option to renew might be a workable model for the marriage contract. At the very least,...

  9. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SeattleJess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I LOVE the ridicule response! The first harm occurs when someone else is made uncomfortable by workplace behavior and feels that s/he needs to stuff the feelings and accept the situation. We have laws...

  10. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    SeattleJess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, I didn't read this as implying that OP was gossiping. I thought it was another way of saying, "Let him who is without sin..." since I bet everyone of us has committed gossip, if not infidelity. I...

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

    There are many videos on YouTube, including this one: It helps if the patient has bed rails and can hold on to them. Even if s/he has trouble turning because of bad joints, s/he can at least help...

    EXCELLENT!

  16. How did you do in A&P?

    SeattleJess replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What she said! Pictures, stories and jokes really help. The A&P coloring book was fun but took too much time to do for every unit. When you study, talk out loud. Videos online and use as many 3D...
