    eyesopen_mouthshut replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    Wow, that is the best pitch I've ever heard... you'll have no problem getting your pt's to do what you need them to do! I didn't realize it did so much, it would be nice to be able to just scan images...

    Laptop or paper/pen notes in class?

    eyesopen_mouthshut replied to Lollipops's topic in General Students

    For me it depends... iPad with keyboard (essentially a laptop) and I use the voice recorder app at the same time while taking notes, but if I'm in a class that is covering something I'm confident in,...

    Poop in nursing

    eyesopen_mouthshut replied to KATRN78's topic in General Students

    The RNs in my facility would only ask me (CNA) to take Mr. or Mrs. X to the bedside commode or BR... If they soiled their bed, the RN was right there, cleaning. I would always go get the new linens...

    Retail Clinic thoughts?

    eyesopen_mouthshut replied to New-ishFNP's topic in Advanced Practice

    All I can do is speak from the patient POV, because I am not yet an FNP... I really like going to the "Minute Clinics", as you put it, for the sheer convenience of them... When I finishing my...

    Getting another job after working 6wks at my first job... Lucky or doomed?

    eyesopen_mouthshut replied to TurtleLittle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Can you do the 2 jobs for a little while, and see how you feel? Maybe for another 6 or 12 weeks, that would give you more experience to put on paper... The drive is killer, mate. If you have parents...

    Nursing student loans

    eyesopen_mouthshut replied to lelliott60's topic in General Students

    If Pell is going to cover everything, you DO NOT want to take out a loan, as you'll have to pay it back, and if you have to eat only spaghetti and soup for a few months, that's much better than owing...
