  1. Dallas Presbyterian Nurse Interview

    prettyboyswag replied to annie.rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The management/leadership/admin, w/e you want to call it, of the CDC and Texas presbyterian are concerned with covering their butts. They could care less about the 2 nurses that contracted ebola. Like...

  2. URGENT: Are CDC Ebola Guidelines 'Good Enough'?

    prettyboyswag replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is no way to monitor all these hospitals and make sure they follow the new guidelines by the CDC. Another issue is money, hospitals have been slow to respond to ebola b/c to train employees and...

    prettyboyswag replied to LillyFish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just didn't know what i was getting myself into. TV tends to overhype things. However, i need the cash so this will work for now until something better comes along. If i could make the same amount...

  5. Why nurses eat their young?

    prettyboyswag replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    psu213 brought up a good point...Patients that eat their nurses, another issue we tend to forget is doctors eating nurses. Yes this type of behavior is not exhibited in all institutions, i have yet to...

  6. Why nurses eat their young?

    prettyboyswag replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    lol don't get me wrong. My post isn't saying that i feel "ALL" nurses eat their young. I'm giving reasons why a nurse would eat their young, things i have seen with my own 2 eyes. If you want to look...

    prettyboyswag posted a topic in Nursing Career

    What are qualifications required for each and any other areas you can work that you heard of in nursing? NP (Nurse Practitioner) - CRNA (Nurse Anesthetist) - Midwife - Home Health/Hospice RN -...

  8. Why nurses eat their young?

    prettyboyswag replied to yayita's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The reasons are frightening and hard to bear. I'll give you reasons why nurses eat their young. In other words, why experienced nurses like to devour the newbies. This is my take from personal...

  9. Did you like being a CNA?

    prettyboyswag posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I started my 1st CNA job at a hospital on a busy floor. I have an avg. of 13 patients on my shift, ranges from (10-16). I find it very difficult to time manage. I don't dislike the work itself,...

  10. No one will give me a chance

    prettyboyswag replied to KEELER's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The reason no one is willing to hire you is b/c you really don't know alot let alone you don't know what your getting yourself into. A new grad nurse needs at least 1 year of training/mentoring in...

  11. NP programs that do not require RN Experience/LOR's?

    prettyboyswag posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What are some good, accredited NP programs that do not require past RN experience or LOR's? My goal is to gain/attain RN experience working full-time while being enrolled in a part-time NP program....

  12. Did you like being a CNA?

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

    I would be honored to have 4-5 patients. Imagine the people that have 10-20 patients, or even 30. Your director i bet wouldn't even spend a day doing the type of work a CNA does. He/She would quit if...

  13. Did you like being a CNA?

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

    I agree with funtimes. The amount of money your paid as a CNA is not worth the amount of work you do in most places. I think that's why there's such a high turnover rate. Making anywhere from...

  14. My experience as a NS and CNA

    prettyboyswag replied to prettyboyswag's topic in General Students

    Thank You for those who posted "positive" & "encouraging" comments. Ultimately, I decided too put in my 2 weeks notice. I simply can't stand that place or the co-workers. I don't like walking...

  15. i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

    prettyboyswag replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes I feel the same way. I know what your going through. The reason you feel this way is bc u despise bedside nursing...you need a change....There are other avenues to pursue in nursing. I would like...

  16. My experience as a NS and CNA

    prettyboyswag replied to prettyboyswag's topic in General Students

    Duskyjewel makes an excellent point. I personally think management could give a damn about me. They care about the patient, who is the 1 paying lot's of money to receive care. "Money is the...

  17. My experience as a NS and CNA

    prettyboyswag replied to prettyboyswag's topic in General Students

    32 is disastrously dangerous. I would quit that in a heart beat. How do you manage to take care of 32 patients w/o compromising patient safety??? The facility you work for i think should be fined and...

  18. LPN to CNA/PCT

    prettyboyswag replied to didi768's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The pay difference between an lpn in LTC and a CNA/PCT in the hospital is somewhat significant in my area. LPN's in my area make anywhere from 18-25/hr on average. PCT's make about 13-17/hr (15 avg)...

  19. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    prettyboyswag replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you hate being a CNA then you will most certainly hate being a nurse since both involve direct-patient care. If you dislike direct patient-care, I would recommend X-ray tech or something that...

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

    I actually used to work in home health however I saw I was more of a maid as well and wasn't utilizing any skills u learn in school. I didn't like the idea of having to cook for my patient since I...

    prettyboyswag replied to prettyboyswag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah tcnj's nursing program requires a minimum 3.0 GPA and you start out as either a freshman or sophomore depending on the prereq's you took. It's not possible to start as a junior. I'm assuming...

    prettyboyswag replied to prettyboyswag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was going to apply to rutgers but you have to have 24 rutgers credits inorder to transfer in. So if we do get accepted into tcnj, how long is their waiting list? I'm also assuming they give...

    prettyboyswag replied to prettyboyswag's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No I havent! If we get accepted do they have a waiting list? It says their only requirement to get into their nursing program is to get accepted to tcnj...I'm assuming they have a limited amount of...
