1. Should I work as a CNA before starting Nursing School?

   stevenchambers.75 replied to eleah2's topic in General Students

   Yes, it isn't required, but it can be helpful. I honestly think every nurse should be required to be a CNA for 1 year before being accepted into a nursing program. It helped me out a lot. Of course I like to learn, so when my nurse was doing somethi...

   That won't work. Its more likely too make it worse. It works by deriding. It should not be used on wounds unless they're neurotic.

4. Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

   stevenchambers.75 replied to BonnieSc's topic in Medications

   She isn't downplaying anything. You seem to be one of those hard nosed nurses who think they're the absolute best. Nowhere in her post did she say med errors weren't serious, not did she say anything that would lead a person to think that way. She ha...

   stevenchambers.75 replied to Weaverd11's topic in Technicians

   From what I understand it's already an unwritten policy. To show respect for one another she should have been given the same assignment as the day before. Unless she is 10 minutes late, then you miss out. Three minutes late is hardly enough for any m...

7. She took my patients!

   stevenchambers.75 replied to Weaverd11's topic in Technicians

   Since you mentioned being adult, the other tech should have been an adult and just took the other hall. Its called professional curtesy. Since she was on her second day of four, the other tech should've took the other hall. She was being rude and try...

8. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

   stevenchambers.75 replied to dreamer30's topic in Technicians

   Sounds like you're just being petty. Not to be mean, but whether you like it or not, you are their aide. As they are your nurse. Just as the patients assigned to you, are YOUR patients.

9. Juvenile Arrest: Did I ruin my chance to be a nurse?

   stevenchambers.75 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I agree, don't worry about the past. Be truthful, and don't try to hide anything. Hiding it only looks deceptive. Some states do not require you too list juvenile records, because they are sealed.
