  1. Sacrificing church to study instead SMH

    cd365c replied to PrayingToPass's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You need to take time for your church service. Give yourself a break from all the books. When you get back to them, you will be refreshed from getting time away and will be focused on studying....

  2. You will not learn anything in the conference room!

    cd365c replied to dudette10's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Last spring semester, I was the scared nursing student in the nursing home. I tried to help out, but I was too scared to do much. Then I worked at the hospital this summer, and I am a proud,...

  3. How Long to study for TEAS V

    cd365c replied to busylilnurse's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I never had to study for the Teas test (entry level) because I had been in high school. It just depends how long you have been out of school. I would spend time reviewing algebra and math. That...

  4. Advice for well, not a brand new nurse... but

    cd365c replied to lyssajill's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    You definitely need to speak up and try to work out the problems with the preceptor. Just try and be honest with your manager about how the preceptor does not even want to do their job and how it is...

  5. The Start of a New School Year

    cd365c replied to RN403's topic in General Students

    I start on Monday as a sophomore. I still can't believe that this year I will be doing fundamentals in my local hospital. It is going to be a great learning

  6. BP Cuff

    cd365c replied to pmabraham's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    No, I would never think it is important to buy one. The amount of times that you use a manual blood pressure cuff is so small in any facility with all the technology. Seriously, It is just something...

  7. All Men Shift

    cd365c replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have come in contact with a high ratio of male nurses on a floor, but then the same floor had mostly females the next day. I saw little difference in my experience either way. Some of the best...

  8. landing an ICU job

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

    It is safe to say that even with experience, you may not get an RN job at an ICU even when working there. But, I think it is a great idea to start working there to get the feel of it. I work for a...

  9. landing an ICU job

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

    Okay, it sounds like a bad idea to go and try to introduce myself. I also am not employed at the hospital (which means that I do not really know the "right" people). The problem is that if I accept...

  10. CNA's and Looking at Charts

    cd365c posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    As a CNA where I work, are we not allowed to look at patient's nursing charts that are ours? I wondered because I am wondering what the person is admitted for, what the nurses are finding in...

  11. The Red Line of NA's Who Ask Lots of Questions

    cd365c replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    I can't thank you guys enough for the responses. There must be a healthy balance. I crossed that line too many times, but now I learned my lesson. I can be "Curious George" selectively at the right...

  12. The Red Line of NA's Who Ask Lots of Questions

    cd365c posted a topic in General Nursing

    As I have been working my nursing aide job the last month or so, I have began to develop a big curiosity into what nurses actually do. I am your typical aide at the hospital who is "going to nursing...

  13. CNA's and Looking at Charts

    cd365c replied to cd365c's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I really do appreciate all the responses. I don't want to be fired for breaking HIPPA. Instead of talking to my manager, it seems that I can clearly articulate the huge risks of doing this. The...

  14. What are some typical things you do as a Psychiatric Nurse

    cd365c posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I am currently only two years into Nursing school and exploring my options for what I would enjoy doing. What is a typical day like as a Psychiatric Nurse? Do you feel it is fulfilling work? Is...

  15. Never Give Up on Your Dreams

    cd365c replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is great words of wisdom! I am having some bouts of depression and identity crisis while I am living away from home. My main problem is having the energy to sit down and continue to work for...

  17. Is there really a Nursing shortage, or is it just hype ?

    cd365c replied to Stacy67CP's topic in Nursing Career

    I think that since the standard is BSN, most people who have just an RN will have trouble finding a job even with

  18. What are some typical things you do as a Psychiatric Nurse

    cd365c replied to cd365c's topic in Psychiatric

    I would definitely consider myself a spiritual person. I definitely have a special compassion for people and believe that love can impact anyone (in this instance patients). Spiritual care seems...
