    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work as a CNA on an Adult Med/Surg floor and CNAs did the blood sugar checks and phlebotomy during the off hours that phlebotomy was not on the floor (from 3 PM - 4 AM) but phlebotomy came...

    What color are your school uniforms?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    We have maroon scrubs with white writing. I hate it because I think I look like a giant f-in cranberry but you have to do what you have to do. We have lab coats too but I don't wear them because I...

    Flirting at working????

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    I think that while flirting is unprofessional and not appropriate in the workplace I think that a little flirting here and there is usually harmless. However, if someone is flirting with you and it is...

    Macho Men in the ED

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Jerry 75's topic in Emergency

    I work in a strictly Peds. ED and we don't have a ton of guys but we don't really have a problem with the "Macho Men" in our ED. On a side note there are at least two female nurses that I can think of...

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to neutrophilicRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I work as a tech now and I do quite a bit of blood draws and I've never been stuck yet *knocks on wood*. In general I draw with a butterfly needle and I don't have my hand above the needle so if a...

    Origin of the title "Charge Nurse?"

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    If No Luck Trying to Straight Cath, Obtain Urine Sample from the Wet Pad?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Zen123's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses can't draw blood, its always hemolyzed

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to HiThisIsStatLabCLICK's topic in General Nursing

    Having been a phlebotomist and worked in the ER for a while now I am willing to bet $50 your getting hemolysed samples because many nurses who draw blood samples are using the IVs to get the samples...

    Is CNA good experience for a future RN?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to DeanaKay's topic in General Nursing

    I think one thing that I forgot to mention to is that it depends on the CNA. I started being a CNA before I was actually accepted in nursing school but when I looked at my patients I examined their...

    Is CNA good experience for a future RN?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to DeanaKay's topic in General Nursing
