    OrganizedChaos replied to jackhensy's topic in General Nursing

    My ex-best friend became a nurse for the money. She lasted 3 months then promptly quit. If you don't at least like what you're doing a little bit you won't

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Huh? We're not calling techs/aides/anyone lazy. We just don't like/it's illegal when they call they call themselves nurses. We're not talking about the care they give. Also, we don't turn to techs for...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh yeah, I believe it. But the C.O.'s get the short end of the stick. They are over worked, under paid & always with the inmates. The inmates from day one *hate* the C.O.'s. In medical we have...

    Thank you & I am too! Did I ever mention hospital? No. I never worked in a hospital but I saved many lives when I worked in corrections &

    So careless!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Mygenericusername's topic in General Students

    I think even if you didn't transpose your answers from the test to the scantron, there's still a likelihood you will put the wrong answer. You're not the only one who has done that. It's ok.

    How to handle a know-it-all, loud, humiliating coworker

    OrganizedChaos replied to NursePelican's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know how you feel because I have a short temper. Maybe if you wrote out what you want to say before hand or had someone else in the room with you, would that

    How to handle a know-it-all, loud, humiliating coworker

    OrganizedChaos replied to NursePelican's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is it possible to pull the coworker aside, talk to him/her & explain the issue you're having with them but in a civil matter? If that doesn't work I would work my way up the chain of

    Two job offers

    OrganizedChaos replied to RNles's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't even consider the HH job. I would definitely go for the hospital job even if there isn't a start date

    In my first semester and want another baby

    OrganizedChaos replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    If you have no kids, I wouldn't comment on that front. You don't know what reason a parent has for putting their child in

    What counts as psych experience?

    OrganizedChaos replied to katie6126's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a teen substance abuse setting & it was more like a psych facility than substance abuse facility. The teens came in with a list of psych issues, some a mile long. Definitely had to...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    MA saves 2 lives where nurses save lives daily. MAs work in clinic settings where the likelihood is slim that they would ever have to do CPR or anything to save a patient. Whereas nurses work in...

    College Network vs. DLSI

    OrganizedChaos replied to Devhunter's topic in LPN to RN

    If you need supplemental information, it is out there. But if you go with either of those publishing companies you will be adding extreme cost to your program. Also remember no matter what they say...

    OrganizedChaos replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't do it. Why make life more complicated? There are no pros & a whole lotta cons. I can tell you right now my mom had one easy pregnancy & one rough pregnancy. I already had a rough...

    You have been rude to me since day 1. No, we went over basic skills like washing our hands & putting on gloves. Just because I quoted you doesn't mean I'm talking to you or you need to respond. I...
