    Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    Ummm....You owe the OP QUITE an apology. I think you very much misread the OP. She is saying exactly the opposite of what you are inferring; she is questioning the statements of her INSTRUCTOR....not...

    The OP has said he lives in Ontario, Canada. OP, you are clearly quite young; I know you said you are 17 but honestly you strike me as a tad younger than that. I mean....you want a job like nursing...
  5. If this CNA is accustomed to working on an ICU in which nurses do all cares for their patients, with one CNA shared by the floor to assist, that would mean to me that each nurse would have typically...

    Which is Better!

    Then probably the best use of your time would be to practice strategy questions (Kaplan very good for that). Prioritizing patients and interventions. If you are weak in content areas, bone up on...

    I was unable to comment on that thread, as it has been closed, but I have no problem reporting this user for fabricating credentials, misrepresenting himself and therefore violating the TOS of this...

    Was my professor out of line?

    You are an ADN RN and should not have "BSN" on your userid. You are misrepresenting yourself to anyone who mistakenly believes that you hold a BSN. You do not. On another thread you posted your...

  13. Last time I remember this being brought up (by a hospital that was having this problem), the nurses were told "well we can always cut back on NURSES and then some of you would be out of a job...

    Huh. Ok, any chance that he isn't the guy who DOES have the license? I realize I sound a bit paranoid, but there really have been enough cases of stolen (borrowed?!) identities to make me question...

    CNA or EMT

    You're kinda all over the map on this one. CNA is very different from EMT, which is very different from LPN. Most States don't license CNAs, they are certified but not licensed---and then some...

    Do the elderly even have bowel sounds?

    Nope, New BSN, there are no bowel sounds on an elderly patient. In fact, the ingested food completely evaporates when it hits the stomach. Completely silent process. The moment anyone reaches the...

    Nurse Clueless

    Not really. My take on it is that someone who is fraudulently misrepresenting himself as a nurse would not want to draw attention to what he does not know, and would NOT ask for assistance. He might...

    What's wrong with me?

    Concerns, asked to resign, etc.

    In a nutshell, not being well-matched to one type of nursing setting doesn't mean you can't find a good match in another setting. Explore options, see in what other direction you could go that might...

    Which is Better!

    I have yet to meet a single person who didn't truly want to pass on their first try It's not a matter of which program is best, they have all helped people to pass, and people have failed using these...
