  2. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    dreamer30 posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It bothers me when RN'S or LPN's say "my tech". For example: If they are looking for me or another tech they will say "where's my tech" or when they ask for help they say "can i borrow your Tech"...

  7. Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    dreamer30 replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That nurse sounded like a dumper and not a deligator. Like some people have said if that BP was so important she would have gotten it herself. It's a waist of time for you to do it then find her and...

  8. Is it true that being a job-hopper is a good thing?!

    dreamer30 replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm CNA and I job hop. When I become an RN I will be job hopping internally because I really like my hospital. I have seen RN's leave for a year and come back and get $5 more. That can be an option...

  9. Thinking of Dropping Out

    dreamer30 replied to urbangirl2020's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In MY OPINION dropping out should be a last resort. There are ways to be independent. Do you have your CNA? If so you can work as a CNA part time and maybe find income based housing or apartments. Is...

  15. an 'easier' specialty

    dreamer30 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Emergency

    I was told that surgery centers was a breeze. I'm not exactly sure what the job is called but the RN ask questions and take vitals before surgery and that's it. Could get boring if your doing 12...

  16. Pre-Nursing

    dreamer30 replied to MarquieshaH's topic in Indiana Nursing

    First thing first. Do you have a support system? That's really huge (in my opinion). As far as dropping classes it might affect your financial aid more than you getting into the program. I would just...

  20. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    dreamer30 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Don't get the BSN if it's not needed. I say take advantage!!! Get a ASN and go from there. If your hospital all of a sudden requires BSN you might get grandfathered in and may not have to get one. If...

    dreamer30 replied to jackhensy's topic in General Nursing
