    Losing my religion

    nursel56 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I feel certain that Jesus can handle the vagaries of conversation, with it's shorthand and euphemisms. He knows what is in our hearts so we don't need to get offended on His

    Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    nursel56 replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I've done that for two jobs. The particular facilities were really superior so it was well worth it to

    Losing my religion

    nursel56 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    The Catholic system who's high sxhool I attended and hospital where I first shadowed a nurse and worked as a volunteer was founded by an order of nuns who's call is to serve, as Jesus did. The only...

    Losing my religion

    nursel56 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Those things are unprofessional and I hope nobody here would engage in that behavior though all of us have probably witnessed it. Please understand we're not knocking your faith or your freedom to...

    Assisted living vs. Hospital as first job?

    nursel56 replied to Alon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would go for the hospital job first as well. My reasoning being that the nursing job market is so uncertain lately you should do whatever it takes when you have the option to give yourself even the...

    Losing my religion

    nursel56 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Or they are too sick or stressed to say anything. Why any nurse would interject their personal religious beliefs in such a situation is beyond me, if the patient didn't indicate a desire to talk...

    Why??? Sleep interrupted nocturia post 12hr shift...

    nursel56 replied to julz68's topic in General Nursing

    I've also heard of the anxiety-pee urge circuit that occurs when the nurse brain has a chance to contemplate the True Horror of the shift just completed. You'd need to bring a pee hat home and I and...

    Losing my religion

    nursel56 replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I agree with you, Jade. One thing I will do, if asked to by the family is join in prayer by closing my eyes or joining hands with others. I've found that, especially in cases of home health or other...

    You won't believe.....

    nursel56 replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe clinical instructors are somehow conveying to students an inaccurate set of expectations now? I remember being a student and quite satisfied if a nurse made an audible noise that seemed to be...

    You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    nursel56 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    The world of nursing certainly has turned into a toxic brew with this thread an encapsulation of all of it. My contention is that it can be traced to the nursing powers that be clinging to a strategy...

    If we had a conservative nurses forum

    nursel56 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This thread has been revived so the original people may not tespond but I would also like to hear someone explain how their BSN program teaches

    Hate being a CNA

    nursel56 replied to LadyLeo75's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I left nursibg for a while to be on the "mommy track". When I returned I noticed some changes and much that hadn't. From my view, probably the most disconcerting was this pronounced stratifying...

    Taking away chairs from nursing station

    nursel56 replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Pinkessence, the article you linked seems geared toward office workers who normally sit for most of their workday. I'm sure most nurses who normally stand and walk as part of a normal workday are...

    Please listen!!!

    nursel56 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the OP's intention, since she mentioned doing the training before enrolling in nursing school, was to say that working in an inpatient environment is unlike anything some people who aspire to...

    Please listen!!!

    nursel56 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As in everything else there is no "one size fits all" in answer to this question but I'm seeing an overall shift in the direction of nursing programs requiring a CNA. course prior to entry...it could...

    Nurses aren't maids!

    nursel56 replied to AnaCatRN's topic in Private Duty

    I trust that most of us can make the judgement for themselves as to whether or not they are being taken advantage of. Which makes sense as the only thing I'm sure of is that generalizing is...

    Private Duty CNA in LTC situation

    nursel56 replied to friggasdistaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    $33, 000 for Medical Assistant program

    nursel56 replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You have a good chance of being around icky stuff as a medical assistant. That's the "back office" part of the job. Some specialties more than others. I'd also look into your state's laws regarding...

    "Completing a BSN" ...or, "The Great Revenue-Generator."

    nursel56 replied to Guttercat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's where the IOM and others are funneling grant money and new scholarships. It's another component of the money-generating thing. Convince people an epic nursing shortage is right around the next...

    Working closely with Doctors

    nursel56 replied to Nurse613's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It is hard to stop feeling guilty - but ironically it is flattering because it means you are good at your job. I really enjoyed the teamwork of my jobs working one on one with various doctors and...

    Working closely with Doctors

    nursel56 replied to Nurse613's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes I've had that situation. It is perfectly normal for someone to prefer to work with another person who enables them to be as effective at their jobs as they can. This is especially true for...
