  1. Do the CNAs or RNs do personal care

    Spangle Brown replied to RNtobe23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As of yet, I do not work in the medical field. But I have had a neighbor call me to help with her Mother, who had an accident. And no, the woman did not help. I helped the poor aging Mother get...

  2. get kicked off because of med error

    Spangle Brown replied to hbahta's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow, now we are seeing were there is a big difference in training. It would be interesting to see what schools everyone is

  3. Do the CNAs or RNs do personal care

    Spangle Brown replied to RNtobe23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I actually understand were the op is coming from. As noted here, RN's do everything that CNAs do. But as also noted, some RN's work in situations, were they feel that it is the CNAs job 100% of the...

  4. Denial of financial aid for previous associates degree

    Spangle Brown replied to Tracyprice1's topic in General Students

    Met with my FA last week and brought up this issue. I am on wait list for my ADN school, which will be an AS degree. I have 5 classes to finish an AA degree. Some of those classes I will need if I...

  5. I have one day to study all this -__- HELP!

    Spangle Brown replied to Clodoveo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I grouped and made lists, including how many were in each group. And I studied by writing it over and over again. Like, how many bones in head, then the name of bones. Same idea as flash cards, but...

  6. Would this be Overkill? :/

    Spangle Brown replied to Clodoveo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here, you can only retake F or D grades. I took Micro and A&P 2, plus 3 other 3pt classes and did fine. BUT I researched my Dr.s to understand how they teach and If they teach in the best way to...

  7. Unprofessional lactation consultants

    Spangle Brown replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Who pays for those items? Are they free? Are they replaced for free? If the answer is that the patient has to pay for each one of those, including the replacement, then it is stealing and should be...

    Spangle Brown replied to kayrox2muzic's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just reached the 6 week mark. Still have weeks to go before I find out anything. I figure they are busy getting ready for classes to start right now. I just noticed that on one of the Atlas pages,...

  10. Dealing with well-meaning but stupid questions?

    Spangle Brown replied to feelslikefire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's no different then asking a ADN why they didn't go for a BSN. Or an LPN why they didn't Go for at LEAST their ADN. Of course, why would a person want to be a CNA then a LPN. For those not in the...

  11. What to do: ED physician brought dog to work

    Spangle Brown replied to skinzvictory's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have an issue with this. The fact that anyone can claim a pet is a service animal, when it is just a pet. This demeans those that are actually in service. It's kinda like parking in the handicap...

  12. What to do: ED physician brought dog to work

    Spangle Brown replied to skinzvictory's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Only if they are working at that moment. During their off times, who knows if they are crated. If it's owner was busy doing other things, I doubt he/she it was working at that

  13. Confused about how to become a nurse

    Spangle Brown replied to amer1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wait list isn't that bad. It means that you have met all the qualifications and will eventually start. Your name is placed on a list and your are given a time when you will start. You can become a...

  14. Am I Being Bullied?

    Spangle Brown replied to wendey's topic in General Students

    She sounds like she is giving you a dose of reality. It's a work place and she is a coworker. I'm extra friendly, just like you. For our personality types, this will be hard to accept. I have a...

  15. I asked one simple question...

    Spangle Brown replied to TLSpaz's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Pretty much the way I see it. We can personally take it negatively (which I think most of the time it was meant to be), or we can be positive and think they are doing it for their own self need to...

  16. I asked one simple question...

    Spangle Brown replied to TLSpaz's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are very right. Until recently I was a Food & Bev trainer at a very popular place. The place was huge and the workers were allowed to transfer to other locations. Same company, different...

  17. Help! Bought an online test bank not sure what to do!

    Spangle Brown replied to NicolleM's topic in General Students

    My 2 cents. Test banks are questions that the instructors use for testing. Using them in that sense is cheating. Same as taking a copy of the test from the Instructors desk. However, if the...

  18. Commute...or Settle

    Spangle Brown replied to FutureNurseK's topic in General Students

    3 hr drive time a day with 2 little ones. No way. I would do the ADN and bridge to BSN. In the end, you would still be a BSN. It would take longer, go a little slower,... But your little ones are...

    Spangle Brown replied to yopinkman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, and a students for success course. Great ideas for studing, and learning what resources that are available to help

  20. Courses you found useful...

    Spangle Brown replied to yopinkman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IT might not seem important to know about different Religions. But our religion really defines many of us. It determines what we can or can not eat. Etc. Understand OTHERS will help when taking care...

  21. Who determines if you are a RN.

    Spangle Brown replied to DXHX's topic in General Students

    Well, at some point your friends and family are not going to 'get you." Since they will not be having experiences what you will, in school and on the job. However, This professor does have a clue...

  23. Valencia Nursing Program for Summer 2015

    Spangle Brown replied to kayrox2muzic's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh, that leaves a short time to get all of it done. I thought it came in the letter. I can now understand why some would turn down the chance to start early if they don't have the money saved up to...

    Spangle Brown replied to kayrox2muzic's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am so happy for both you guys! Yep, I know that there isn't anything I can do. I just thought it was funny and glad you gave me a heads up. I would have freaked if I had not heard anything by...

  25. Part-time or hungry?

    Spangle Brown replied to cleanmedia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure you all ready thought of this, but you can be a substitute teacher. If your program isn't M-F, you could pick up shifts at the local school. Some people pick up jobs at their local...
