    I hated being a CNA.....

    RNsRWe replied to lovelove254's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nah, a "life-ism"! Never heard that expression? Soup to nuts refers to the whole meal--starting with soup, ending with nuts :) But where nursing is concerned, you never want to ask "what's in the...

    I hated being a CNA.....

    RNsRWe replied to lovelove254's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you hate what the CNA job entails, I'm not sure you're going to like nursing. While it's true that there are many avenues of nursing that don't involve direct patient care, you don't get to those...

    Caring as Facade profession

    RNsRWe replied to souleater11's topic in General Nursing

    souleater: I don't believe it's of much use to try and determine what motivates anyone to do any job/occupation/career. You aren't asking if lawyers do their job while putting on a fascade of caring...

    CMA to RN

    RNsRWe replied to lhunter5's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi, Jassie, and welcome to AN. Just a quick note for you: you will want to change your user name now, as it is a violation of the TOS to use the word "nurse" in your name unless you ARE a nurse....

    Any home care, hospice, rehab, or community health nurses.. please help. :)

    RNsRWe replied to klmoyer's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi, and welcome to AllNurses! I think the very best answers I could give you aren't to the questions you asked, but rather the ones you didn't: "Where can I find RNs that I can interview--IN...

    what would you do?

    RNsRWe replied to marchedout03's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    yah.....this isn't a jealousy issue, or "usual" BS. This place is toxic.

    Getting a Nursing degree in Europe

    RNsRWe replied to Genuine_Pure_Setae's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you click on the tab for "Colleges" (big yellow bar across top of website page) you'll come to subheadings, including Distance Learning....and several individual schools. You'll find your answers...

    Am I too old?

    RNsRWe replied to ollieanne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're only too old if you want that to be your excuse for not doing it

    Renewing license after long period

    RNsRWe replied to MissyNik's topic in General Nursing

    Nikki, your friend is exactly the reason I won't let my registration expire EVER....I don't care if I"m 80 and retired, that license is getting RENEWED! I anticipate going to my grave with an active...

    Renewing license after long period

    RNsRWe replied to MissyNik's topic in General Nursing

    Of course your friend has to check with her State's BON. But why on earth would she take an LPN program now? Her State might require her to complete a refresher course, or submit proof of continuing...

    Am I doing the wrong thing?

    RNsRWe replied to TurtleCat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Gotta admit, this is a new one on me. Yes, family members will complain that you are using "too many" of their precious supplies, but they will also waste not a second in complaining that you are...

    RNsRWe replied to Jane-m12's topic in United Kingdom

    Hi there, and welcome to AllNurses! You will probably want this moved to the International Nursing forum, as this one focuses on pre-nursing in the States primarily....and you have some pretty...

    Interventions without MD orders

    RNsRWe replied to Novo's topic in General Nursing

    I have to assume, Novo, that you are a brand-new student, just in your first weeks of classes (or pre-nursing classes)? Otherwise, I can't quite get your describing giving Tylenol as a "minimally...

    If you are a male can you ask to only work for male patients?

    RNsRWe replied to dbtw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wonder if the OP is now looking into careers in the fast food

    Is it awkward bathing, dressing and wiping patients?

    RNsRWe replied to RainbowHead's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Education in how to care for patients, combined with years on this earth, will help you get past that

    Will I have a chance now?

    RNsRWe replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What she/he said. It's not assisted living experience you'll need, it's nursing home experience. The greater your hands-on time with cares, ADLs, etc, the greater the chance an acute-care facility...

    Is MA same as LPN

    RNsRWe replied to dixieyid305's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You graduated from a practical nursing program, became licensed after passing the NCLEX-PN, and nowhere in that time did you come across the term "medical assistant" and what they do? This seems odd...

    Working as a CNA help with RN employement in future?

    RNsRWe replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To answer the question about whether a CNA job will help you land an RN job down the road, the answer is "no". However, having CNA experience can be extremely useful in the early part of your nursing...

    HELP! Masking the smell of feces!

    RNsRWe replied to WhitneyRene's topic in General Students

    You can use any of these tricks or none of them, the bottom line is you WILL get used to funky smells. No one LIKES them, but you do get USED to them. When I was a student, I had a very small tin...

    Nursing Math

    RNsRWe replied to ygarrison's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing math is basic arithmetic, with a basic understanding of algebra (to set up formulas). You don't need to be a math whiz, believe me, and most aren't. You DO need to be able to do simple math,...

    Can antidepressants keep you out of NS?

    RNsRWe replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I wouldn't use this as a reason. Most students do get through school without them, LOL, they aren't the NORM, but they surely shouldn't be an obstacle if you do need

    Do not use this program !!!

    RNsRWe replied to lilfirenurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, since the OP is not able to write a coherent sentence, has not been able to express in understandable terminology WHAT the problem is, it is doubtful that the school is the entire problem....if,...
