    Question for medical assistants

    Oh'Ello replied to helpinghands93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No Prob. Are you in school for MA or thinking about it? If so.. and you want to work in an acute care setting, maybe think more about what interests you. There are lots of education outlets that...

    Question for medical assistants

    Oh'Ello replied to helpinghands93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey its a legit question, there are probably people here that were medical assistants at one point. We do hire MA's in our very large, Acute care University hospital. They usually fill the role of...

    Board of Nursing (IL) Review..New Grad

    Oh'Ello replied to kellyk21's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have no advice for you but I think it's nonsense that people have to report arrests that didn't lead to convictions. Good

    PICC Line: Flushes, But No Blood Return

    Oh'Ello replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Could be any number of things (Fibrin sheath, coag, dire need of a new cap). Even displaced PICCs can still have blood return. I'd get a chest x-ray to confirm placement and if its in the right place...

    failed 1st time

    Oh'Ello replied to KThurmond's topic in General Nursing

    I'd reevaluate the program that you're in if all of your nursing instructors failed and had to reapply. Are all of your nursing instructors graduates of the school you go to? That's also a point...

    Apple IWatch and nursing

    Oh'Ello replied to Miker1980's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a few people that have them, wear them and love them for work. Two people I know just widened the wrist band and wear it above the elbow. I guess it depends on what kind of nursing your...

    Vent about toiletting patients

    Oh'Ello replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I always say "Someone will be in shortly" or "We'll be right there", always taking care NOT to identify if I'm a nurse, aide or otherwise. That way if theres a reasonable delay no one group of...

    10 months of experience

    Oh'Ello replied to Susie2015's topic in General Nursing

    Why not secure a job in Philadelphia? You know you're moving to Philadelphia... is there a reason you don't move there now and look for work? It just kinda looks bad, that you knew you were getting...

    is it necessary to have blood backflow after inserting a IV?

    Oh'Ello replied to San Diego RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work we cannot give vesicant drugs through any IV access that does not have blood return. Non vessies... whatever. Maybe your co-worker had the patient's future drugs in

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Oh'Ello replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    Also... What is your idea of "a little extra pay". How much do you think an RN should be paid for taking on YOU as an additional responsibility for the day? $1/hr? $2? Because If you think we...

    Pros & Con's of baby making while in nursing school.

    Oh'Ello replied to 1naturalhealer2016's topic in General Students

    And the pro's are: **Drumroll** You'll get constant attention and gushing from all your nursing school galpals ?????? You can totally throw another baby shower even though you have 2 other kids...

    Firearms

    Oh'Ello replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Actually no. I have a concealed carry permit in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (as it was a requirement for my position with the Constable), I had to pass no test, all I had to do was show up and...

    Firearms

    Oh'Ello replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Yes... and we don't ride bicycles in the hospital either, because there is unnecessary risk involved for little to no benefit. Unforutunately, we DO care for patient's in the hospital including those...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Oh'Ello replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of times we don't want students with us, but we don't have a choice and there is no incentive for having one (monetary or otherwise). We are often crushed with tasks to complete, and arrive to...

    Firearms

    Oh'Ello replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Again, personal choices are not always appropriate and do NOT have to be accepted by the community (Hence, hospitals owning private property being able to make decisions on whether or not weapons are...

    Am I overreacting?

    Oh'Ello replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    On what terms were you at the facility, were you a student there? Waiting with a family member? A patient yourself? You really could lodge a complaint about that, as that behavior is totally...

    Free CNA training???

    Oh'Ello replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Honestly depending on where you live you may not even need the Certification. Where I live, the certification is useless as everyone provides on the job training. Look at postings for Aides in your...

    A little venting, from a new nurse

    Oh'Ello replied to ladedah1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow! This was a lot of text. Admittedly I didn't read most of it. I did read the paragraph containing the time-breakdown per patient. We're always screaming at new nurses "TIME...

    Have you literally prayed over your workplace?

    Oh'Ello replied to gibsongirl's topic in Spirituality, Religion
