    stinky patient pet peeve

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I imagine they would be curious about a nursing program that didn't recognize the need for any RN student to learn the most basic of patient care techniques. I'm also curious to see the OP's response...

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it was mentioned a couple of times....there are always those who kinda LIKE to be stinky. I remember one time when I was a student, I had the joy of being told my patient had been refusing...

    Well, it's already headed there, hasn't it? Our "attitude" and all..... Honestly, I wonder about this school, too. Clearly it's not "today's instructors" that feel this way, it's the teachers in her...

    A good case for doing CE's whether your State requires them or not would be just this kind of thing. At one time, I considered moving to a different State, one that required (I think) 30 credits at...

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I wonder where the idea that it's really just hospitals in rural areas that don't have CNAs comes from? I guarantee that would be news to friends of mine working in hospitals in NYC, Boston,...

    What to do about a hyperverbal classmate?

    RNsRWe replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    Tough situation! I was trying to think of how to write how I might deal with it....and was giving it some thought when I read through everyone else's responses and I think they nailed it :) Mostly, I...

    How can I be taken more seriously?

    RNsRWe replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in General Students

    I know, right?? But honestly, I used to work in an office where all the women EXCEPT for me were over 50 years of age. And they ALWAYS referrerd to themselves as "the girls in the office", "the girl...

    I was about to write the same post you just did here, LOL.....I've worked ICU, and I was TICKLED when I had an aide available! It was usually one aide for the whole unit, and obviously (ok, obvious...

    At this point, I honestly, truly do feel sorry for you. Switched gears, because I think your instructors are doing a horrible disservice to you! "Today's instructors", (many of whom post on this...

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Wow. Unreal. First, there was no confusion that you're "an RN student, not a CNA student". ALL RNs are expected to be able to properly bathe, ambulate, perform any and all ADLs whether there is a...

    Nursing school and state boards

    RNsRWe replied to bt832's topic in General Nursing

    "State Boards" is an obsolete term. Today, we have a national licensing exam for nurses; for RN's it's the NCLEX-RN, for LPN/LVNs, it's the NCLEX-PN. One test is administered regardless of the State...

    I probably should throw in there that there are indeed times when a patient could have been bathed, should have been bathed....and wasn't. Sometimes, people are missed, or downright skipped over....

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    can they be "punished"? It would benefit you to start thinking in terms of profesional behavior; people aren't "punished" like small children who misbehave. Are there consequences, repercussions?...

    Well....you DID say that there was "absolutely no need whatsoever to wait" and that's what I was commenting on. Sometimes, there IS a need to wait, if the program one desires requires it, that's all....
