    Almost lost my temper today

    casi replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    Don't put up with it. If you have to go into his room for anything at all demand someone else enter with you. It's not safe for you to be in there

    CNA - HHA same thing?

    casi replied to coltsgrl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where I live HHA is a certification with the state on top of your CNA certification. You have to be a CNA before you can become an HHA. My title is CNA/HHA-R Certified Nursing Assistant/Home Health...

    Nurses Smoking

    casi replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    I'm rather indifferent about nurses that smoke. They are human and they are allowed to make their own decisions. There are a few things I ask of ALL of my co-workers. You attempt to smell decent when...

    Students not charting...If it isn't charted..who did it?

    casi replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    Since LTC patients were considered stable, we didn't chart either. It had something to do with the way the facility got reimbursed. We reported any abnormals to the nurse responsible for that

    sharing bars of soap

    casi replied to jlucas341's topic in General Nursing

    That's disgusting. I would refuse to give showers until they replaced the bar soap with a liquid soap. When they ask why simply say, "I'm putting the residents at risk for infection by using a single...

    Does where you went for CNA school matter?

    casi replied to GaMBA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As long as the class prepares you to pass the test, it doesn't matter where you take it. I personally, would go for the best

    computer charting error

    casi replied to OKRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that there would be an huge issue. Whether or not you comment, the computer puts the other nurses signature on the chart. You need to make a call to your tech department in order to get...

    casi replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    It's better than forcing the staff to follow a script. "Hello I am Casi, your nursing assisnt for today. I am dedicated to give you very good care. Can I get you a sandwich or take some abuse from...

    Decisions! Clinical Externship vs. retaking Anatomy!

    casi replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I would take the externship. You've taken anatomy, you've passed, and you're going to graduate whether or not you take it again. You'll learn much more working in health

    Gay male nurse stereotype?

    casi replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nurses who are successful and most notable seem to have a very maternalistic, outgoing, caring, etc. personality. The common personality is stereotyped as feminine. Males acting feminine are...

    Too intense

    casi replied to norbu's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It really does take time to get your own pace. I was very uncomfortable for about my first year, and I still have moments where I feel like a chicken with my head cut off trying to cross a busy...

    Do you have to buy a stethoscope?

    casi replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go out and buy a stethoscope if you want to buy one!!! You'll use it for clinicals. Even if you get one through the school, wouldn't it be nice to have one you like that shows your personality a bit...

    All I do is study and it doesn't get me anywhere!

    casi replied to 4thGenNurse's topic in General Students

    See if you can meet with an instructor and ASK what the best way is to study. I personally like going through review questions either in the text book or nclex

    What do you want to tell Nursing Students?

    casi replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't have anything to do, ask others how you can help. I've noticed that the nurses I work with who are good will ask their co-workers (CNAs included) if there is anything they can help with...

    Anatomy is pretty darn hard.

    casi replied to ThePretender's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to say that you aren't studying hard enough, because you probably are. As I've told many people biology classes aren't hard, what is hard is learning how to learn biology. First I...

    What can a nursing student do in clinicals???

    casi replied to mbb21's topic in General Students

    For clinicals you can do what you've been trained to do and validated on in lab. I'm nearing the end of my first semester and I can do ADLs, meds, injections, insert/remove foleys, give IV meds, and...

    Controversial Job Offer

    casi replied to Mommyof2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious what made you apply for the job. What about it made it an option for you? There's nothing wrong with going to an interview to find out more about a job. Ask about the job description,...
