  1. Lessons from a night as a Patient Companion

    cd365c posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I arrive on the floor at 1858 and quickly head to my sitter case after meeting the charge to find what room to head to. Whenever I go into a shift knowing that I will be a sitter I anticipate one of...

  3. Obesity: A disease or a lifestyle

    cd365c replied to TexMex22's topic in Health, Stress Management

  5. Workplace Cowardice

    cd365c replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, I noticed this today at work. My other PCA coworkers did not want to help me do turns for the hospice patients because they had "charting to do". I should have told them that I don't respect...

  7. Anyone else feel this way?

    cd365c replied to young33's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think there is a need for more men in nursing. Diversity is actually quite a good thing in my opinion. This profession is still female dominated (roughly 10 percent male nurses). There are going...

  9. So, is 2015 really the year where NP's will need a DNP instead of a Masters in Ohio?

    cd365c posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is this really the year that NP's will have to get DNPs to practice in the state of Ohio? All I see is master-level schools. It really confuses me when reading about the AACN mandating the DNP and so...

  13. Everyone is going to nursing school

    cd365c posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Is it me, or does everyone that works as a nursing assistant want to go to nursing school?! The trend I am noticing is that most nursing assistants are students too ( or soon to be). This is across...

  14. Everyone is going to nursing school

    cd365c replied to cd365c's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It is impressive that you are doing all the patient care you do in the hospice setting. I bet that it is good getting to see both sides of mental health and hospice. That way, as an RN, you have...

  16. Everyone is going to nursing school

    cd365c replied to cd365c's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Now, what exactly do CNAs do in mental health specialties? How would your day be different than at a hospice floor. I can see the result of that attitude even in myself. But, I think that knowing...

    cd365c replied to brittany1111's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    From what I have seen so far, it seems that techs in the ER operate in more of a team environment. Most floors could use some education from the ER. I know it is not as crazy as the ER on the med...

  19. Burnout or just Cranky?

    cd365c replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Yeah, I relate to the balance issue. Nursing can become all consuming. That is why the boundaries article that came up this last week is so relevant to me. I don't want to be the chronic complainer...

    Man, I sense a crusty old bat here. Nursing doesn't have to be that bad. But what can I say? I am no more a student than

  23. What would you say?

    cd365c posted a topic in Oncology

    How would you react when a patient tells you that the government is hiding the cure for cancer and all the chemotherapy, drugs, and hospital treatment is just to make money? What kind of education...

  24. Did I completely ruin my nursing career?

    cd365c replied to NikthePNstudent's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, that is not the case. If you give the explanation why you had to quit then there will be no problems. Especially if you use the staff from your work to explain the situation when you give them...

    cd365c replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing
