    mindofmidwifery replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in Nursing News

    This is beyond sick.... This guy deserves the worst punishment, and no I don't mean the death penalty :/ truly

    Better while student: CNA or volunteer?

    mindofmidwifery replied to lmgst30's topic in General Students

    Being a CNA will help get you used to patient care and you'll likely learn some skills (vitals, blood glucose checks, blood draws, etc) so I would say get into that if possible. Volunteering isn't...

    How did you get your first pct position?

    mindofmidwifery replied to jessicamillan12's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I got my CNA and worked at a nursing home for a year. After that, I applied for ~50 PCT jobs and that's how I got my current job in the emergency

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    The good thing is that she's not a permanent employee within our hospital. And it was very isolated but her personality isn't the best either so I'm not sure if she has had problems with other...

    Help with the look of a posterboard?

    mindofmidwifery replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    Either use color pictures or draw. Black and white pictures are tacky, of course. Make your board look like it has personality. Not sure what your personality is but I used to always make my boards...

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm certainly not mad or upset with anyone's comments but for the nurses to come to the tech section and try to belittle me or put me down, get a life. There's a reason I posted on this section and...

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I don't do things during a trauma that I'm not supposed to do [emoji58] I am aware of when I become unnecessary, then I leave. And if I didn't know how to do chest compressions why would anyone...

    Are you a tech? This is the tech section. therefore, it's unacceptable and ignorant for you to post

    Finish Bachelors or go to LPN school?

    mindofmidwifery replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean to come off as critical! It just doesn't make sense to me how you'd know weeks beforehand that you'd flunk out. But then again, I haven't gone through nursing school. And there's...

    Just applied for LPN program

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It really depends on the person. I've always been advanced in reading/writing and felt comfortable with math and science. I got a 93% on the reading, 67% on math, 56% on science and 70% on writing. My...

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Took the TEAS, Compass, and put in my request for prior learning for the STNA class. Went to advising and was told I could apply for the LPN program! Literally JUST applied, all of this within 4...

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It's not even that I mind being bossed around though. Like a nurse can be epitome of demanding and I wouldn't bat an eye because it's my job to do whatever they're asking me to do. The thing that...

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    No, I'm just a tech. I had to do the initial process of obtaining vitals, blood sugar, EKG, etc. then I stayed to assist with restraining patient, continuous monitoring, grabbing whatever the nurses...

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I let the nurse know beforehand that I was on all the teams. I also let her know I was going to the trauma. She was in charge of 3/6 patients and did not cover any of the trauma nurses that left. It's...

    Are we "semi-professionals"

    mindofmidwifery replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    Calm down, I'm not saying it's inferior at all. What I'm saying is that since RN-BSN doesn't have clinical components or prerequisites, it's going to be easier because you don't have to worry about...

    Are we "semi-professionals"

    mindofmidwifery replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you did RN-BSN. I'm sure the actual BSN programs can be considered more challenging and harder to get into than ADN

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Maybe you had to be there, but the entire day this nurse had been expecting to be "treated like a princess." Maybe that's why she thought it was okay to barge in

    RANT, sick of certain nurses

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    She shouldn't have been drowning, the licensed nursing staff was adequately staffed and when I came back the same patients were in their rooms. Not to mention this is an urgent care type of set
