    Hi everyone, I currently have two jobs at two different hospitals. One I've worked at since this past October and the other I've worked at since December. I am honestly sick of working two jobs with...

    Really Need Some Advice

    mindofmidwifery replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Take your time while doing the skills. If you have to stop and think, stop and think. Yes, there's a time limit but there's no need to rush. Go over the skills at home, practice. Good

    Nursing is a passion?

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am aware of this being a touchy topic on AN, but my school has a nursing information session and within the session they state that nursing is more than just a steady income, it is a passion. You...

    Triage question

    mindofmidwifery replied to gvrn13's topic in Emergency

    Not a nurse but based off what I see the nurses at work do, I would have put epigastric pain. If that's where the patient pointed to and said the pain was, why put chest pain? And for him to be so...

    Are ABSN programs even an option for me?

    mindofmidwifery replied to cms_93's topic in General Students

    It depends on the program requirements. Most programs require at least a C in all nursing prerequisites. Even though your GPA isn't so competitive, I still think there's a chance you could be...

    REAL minimum GPA for Grad school

    mindofmidwifery replied to pauladean's topic in General Students

    High school grades aren't going to stick with you throughout college, they only matter when applying as a freshman. The fact that the post secondary grades were low might be an issue because those are...

    New aide advice?

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

    Do the aides not work together at your facility. Often, if I needed help or if someone else needed help we'd team up and work together. I pretty much ignored the assignment sheet once I finished doing...

    When to delegate vital signs?

    mindofmidwifery replied to sb_19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I work in the ER as a PCT and I often do triage vitals, initial vitals when patients are roomed, vitals in between, and discharge vitals. Not sure if delegation rules are different in different units...

    Almonds, peanut butter, oats, natural protein bars, milk, I'd even drink a Naked or Bolthouse Farms drink. They have protein drinks that keep you sated for a longer
