    chevygirl1987 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What a jerk. Release it outside? Um...no, it needed to die. Makes me think of that scene in Ruthless People when he scoops the spider on a piece of paper and takes it outside. Then decides he is...

    chevygirl1987 replied to shanell85's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are, I'm sure, about a hundred threads about how many questions people got and how they studied. Since it has been thoroughly discussed, you might find some really good information if you search...

  7. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    chevygirl1987 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unethical? On the part of the nurses who are standing up for their earned title, or on the the part of the unlicensed assistive personnel,who maintain that it is perfectly acceptable to represent...

    Great review though. I hated that book. What did you all think of Gone

  12. Stephen King Readers Thread

    chevygirl1987 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit. I kind of miss those made for TV movies and miniseries. Thinking about "IT" still conjures creepy images after more than 20

  17. Stephen King Readers Thread

    chevygirl1987 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I read Revival this summer. It was meh. I loved nearly all his classics, though I started reading him way too young. I read The Shining for the first time when I was 11 or 12, didn't sleep for...

  18. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    chevygirl1987 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's interesting. I applied for PA because my BS is in biochem and I didn't want another bachelor degree. I'm going to an NP program that accepts RNs with other BSs. I am more interested in nursing...

  20. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    chevygirl1987 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    chevygirl1987 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We got color coded and labeled about 4 years ago. We were given an amount of money to spend on scrubs at the beginning. I spent that money, got 8 sets of scrubs and haven't bought any since. I bought...

    chevygirl1987 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seems like this would only be true if the colors are standardized everywhere. For instance most hospitals in my region have nurses blue, if they require uniforms. Our nurses are in another color and...

  24. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    chevygirl1987 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't say many, but I have worked with RNs who considered themselves able to do the docs job. One said "after two years I'm practically a cardiologist." Yeah, except for the med school,...

  25. Vent about toiletting patients

    chevygirl1987 replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

    My facility implanted a policy that we are never allowed to walk past a call light. Never. I was once reprimanded, formally, for passing not 1 but 2 call lights even though I was passing those lights...
