    DusktilDawn replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your not alone. I failed my first driving test, I made a stupid mistake but one that they will fail you on. I had taken a driving education course, and they tell you exactly how to pass. In fact my...

    DusktilDawn replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    My parents had twins first, of which I am the second born of. My twin teaches computers. History of alcohol problems from both sides of the family. I rarely drink alcohol, it gives me a raging...

  3. Do you have to be mean to make it as a CNA?

    DusktilDawn replied to safarigirl's topic in General Nursing

    To put it simply Safarigirl, your being taken advantage of. There is nothing wrong with being nice and doing the best job possible. You have an admirable work ethic and a good attitude, and your...

  4. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    DusktilDawn replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not seeing where crissrn27 stated or implied that you said Florence Nightengale was uneducated or favored uneducated people. What crissrn27 was pointing out was that Florence Nightengale saw a...

  6. What does your hospital do for patient satisfaction?

    DusktilDawn replied to KimRN41514's topic in General Nursing

    A point is made though advertising/media that the patient is the "center of our universe" and than puts all the ownership of that statement onto the nurse's back. Personally I think better educating...

  7. Dad says I have to learn to tune this stuff out

    DusktilDawn replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually you're being very judgemental regarding this patient's daughter. Judgemental in an extremely negative way and you have brought it down to personal level, it is obvious by the disdain you have...

  10. Intro and questions

    DusktilDawn replied to moonbeam06's topic in General Nursing

    Well, giving needles is not the same as receiving them. As to students practicing on each other regarding needles, landmarking yes, actually poking each other with needles, doubtful. Sorry, no idea...

    DusktilDawn replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in California Nursing

    My condolences to you and your family. Your grief is very evident in your post. Have you considered grief counselling or a bereavement support group in your area? I cannot emphasize enough that you...

  13. Are nurses in other nations bilingual? Should US be?

    DusktilDawn replied to **nurse**'s topic in General Nursing

    Hello/Bonjour I live in an officially bilingual country, the official languages being English and French. In fact the area I live in has a lot of people of French descent, and almost all of those...

  14. Specimen Mislabeling- Help!

    DusktilDawn replied to sumas8's topic in Emergency

    Most policies will indicate labelling labs at the bedside, or they should. I realize I may be nit picking here, but are they REALLY checking the labels with the arm band? I just noticed that you...

  15. Accused of "Cheating her out of medicine"

    DusktilDawn replied to LightCommaStix's topic in General Nursing

    Best of luck, and keep us posted.

  16. Accused of "Cheating her out of medicine"

    DusktilDawn replied to LightCommaStix's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you need to worry about your license, since you did no do anything to jeopardize it. The house supervisor would have to back up her allegations with proof. I think you did the right...

  17. Please don't eat your young.

    DusktilDawn replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    actually what others are speaking out against is the perpetuation of a stereotype. "nurses eating their young" is a stereotype, work place bullying is an issue and i see no one denying that. frankly...

  18. I cannot UNDERSTAND lazy people!

    DusktilDawn replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's see, CALL the nurse to tell her to CALL bed control, and than CALL back to get her name of nurse who refused to CALL bed control because of other priorities and hung up. I've never understood...

  19. Nurses Need to Learn the Art of Delegation

    DusktilDawn replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lack of certification and licensure can leave big questions for the delegating nurse regarding the education, training, and competency of those they delegate to. Not only should they all either be...

  20. Being called "Nurse".

    DusktilDawn replied to PsychRN-Kris's topic in General Nursing

    How true!!!

  21. I cannot UNDERSTAND lazy people!

    DusktilDawn replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    What's wrong with these people? Simple: 1. They are under the delusion that the nursing staff is "dumping" on them. 2. No matter how simple it may be (ie: moving an IV pole out of a room:uhoh3: )...

  22. Just my hospital??

    DusktilDawn replied to shortstuff31117's topic in General Nursing

    The issues we used to have regarding analgesics orders and ranges had to do with the time ranges. For example: oxycodone 5-10 mg q 2-4 hours. What was happening was 10mg would often be given every 2...

  23. Customer service....

    DusktilDawn replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose the morals of the story is: If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS. Ignorance really is bliss. What you don't know doesn't hurt you. I guess CEO believes neglect and...

  25. "Customer service" and nursing

    DusktilDawn replied to LilPeanut's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The issue isn't about nursing staff not wanting to be polite and treating our patients/families well, far from it. It's the lack of realistic expectations forced upon nurses in the name of customer...
