    Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    mindofmidwifery replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I worked at a call center that answered calls from patients, and we had to dispatch urgent messages to the doctor on call. 9/10 I was so nervous to call the residents when they were on call because...

    What is the pay rate for a LPN ?

    mindofmidwifery replied to janevance66's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Good for you standing up for yourself :) yeah, both titles have "nurse" in them so there's no argument about what's real, they're both real nurses. It sounds like whoever you spoke to is unhappy with...

    Nurse-to-be Needs Advice!

    mindofmidwifery replied to blondie333's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a nurse (CNA), but as for shoes, Skechers are amazing. Skechers vs Under Armour vs Nike, Skechers are THE best and they're reasonably priced. A lot of people I'm sure will recommend Danskos...

    What is the pay rate for a LPN ?

    mindofmidwifery replied to janevance66's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    $10 an hour...? What Red Kryptonite said, lol. I'm a CNA and I make $14. It wouldn't make sense for anyone to go to school to be an LPN with that wage. No matter where you're from, I'm positive that...

    Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    mindofmidwifery replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm embarrassed for you 😳 If anything, NPs and MDs are compared and contrasted, but even then, everyone knows they are two different titles for a reason... Nursing vs Medicine, this topic has...

    mindofmidwifery replied to ground's topic in General Nursing

    My dream RN position is in L&D at OSU Medical Center. I plan on stepping up the ladder. I'm a LTC CNA at this moment but when I go back to Ohio I plan on applying as a tech at OSU while also...

    American Red Cross CNA program

    mindofmidwifery replied to kl516's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I hope I didn't make it seem like "this way or the highway," but for-profit schools, at least where I'm from, are generally more expensive. I'm just saying if you take a CNA course at a...

    American Red Cross CNA program

    mindofmidwifery replied to kl516's topic in General Students

    Will you be furthering your education? If so it'd make more sense to take a CNA course with a community college. If not, sorry I have no experience taking a CNA course with the red

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Haha yeah, I read somewhere you shouldn't wear long sleeves under your scrubs because it spreads bacteria? But it's acceptable everywhere I've known. Same with watches, except all the healthcare...

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ugh, I honestly didn't even think about this :/ when I was undressing a resident once, her watch slid across and tore her skin. I'm afraid of something like that happening again, I felt so guilty and...

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't follow hype and fads either but I felt like rewarding myself and considering I'm an Apple groupie, I felt obligated to purchase an Apple Watch. Integration

    Just got CNA, going for LPN soon, which CNA job for best experience?

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

    I've been a CNA, and at the same facility, for 6 months now. On day and evening shifts I usually care for 6-10 residents by myself. There are days where I've had to take care of 16 by myself, and days...

    What have you learned about Death?

    mindofmidwifery replied to g2255lw's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned not to fear death. It's a part of being human. I've also learned that taking care of someone in their last days/hours/minutes of life can be immensely rewarding. This is working in

    Just got CNA, going for LPN soon, which CNA job for best experience?

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

    Well there are home health aides that are just caregivers, not CNAs, so it doesn't sound difficult. However, I have no experience in anything except LTC so what do I know? 💁🏽 good luck...

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So you regularly wash your hands and have had no problem with your smart watch? How do you sanitize it? Oh and in regards to pandora radio, do you use wireless headphones or a Bluetooth? Thanks for...

    Same :) I know expensive doesn't always mean durable but I've had the best experiences with Apple so I 100% trust it. The only problem I foresee is what Purple_roses says about

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ha, yeah I can definitely see that. "Do you have any games on your watch?" I'm a night CNA in a LTC facility so thankfully I won't have those

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a waterproof watch and this isn't a watch from Walmart, Apple is more than reputable enough to trust. It's on them if it breaks while washing my

    I'm not getting mine specifically for work, but I'd like to wear it at work. And it's not waterproof, but it's water resistant. I don't plan on submerging my hands in

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's water resistant so you can wash your hands. The sports model (lower end) is scratch resistant but the more expensive models are stronger. I ordered the sports and I think it'll be okay at work...
