    Question for tech's and orders

    mindofmidwifery replied to WCSU1987's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Did you let the nurse know afterwards? I would have told the nurse before checking his blood sugar then documented it, but telling them after would have been fine as

    Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    mindofmidwifery replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    Get over myself? I never said there was anything wrong with being an NP but if you're substituting being an MD by being an NP, aren't you just going to end up unhappy? Or at the least, unsatisfied?...

    Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    mindofmidwifery replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    Wrong to assume something is harder or easier to do based off your competencies? Yeah. I'm sure for some people, going through nursing school would be hell while med school would be a breeze and vice...

    Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    mindofmidwifery replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    Whoever is suggesting to the OP to the NP is being kind of insulting, as if being an NP is a backup plan if you can't be an MD. "You probably won't get into medical school so just be an NP." However,...

    mindofmidwifery replied to Confusedbeyondbelief's topic in General Students

    If you don't have an interest in nursing and don't see yourself being a nurse, don't do it. You'll end up miserable. I say take a pause on nursing and try to get a biology undergrad and get your med...

    No one can tell you if you're settling or need to aim higher. If you enjoy where you're at in life and don't yearn for anything more, why put yourself through

    NEED HELP!! Not certified, but have a job interview

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

    I'm going to disagree with hookyarnandblanket. Where I'm from, there is a large hospital system that is willing to train their new hires. I was hired as an ED tech and had no phlebotomy cert or...

    mindofmidwifery replied to Candace_Mk's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nurse or in nursing school yet but I have my mind set on labor delivery. However, working at a nursing home and emergency department are making me slightly consider! I loved working with the...

    mindofmidwifery posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I just got a call for a dream tech job, full time. I am currently employed at two other hospitals both part time. At one, I'm currently in orientation and the other I start next month. Has anyone...

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you work two days a week at both places? You're completely right though. I was just so excited! But I realize that if I were to quit at my current workplaces, there's the potential where I am...

    Quitting during/before orientation

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm irritated because there's not any reviews for the one. The hospital I'm doing orientation at now has bad management reviews but I can see myself growing with the company... I wonder if I can work...

    Honestly, not really, but I don't expect to work in my first choice hospital right away as an RN. The health system where my dream tech job is is one of the best in my area, not entirely sure if it'd...
