  1. Is my thinking right on this to not trust the neurologist?

    Rocktheman posted a topic in General Students

    My dad has stage 4 terminal brain cancer. He lately has been having symptoms that I have associated as having a possible TIA, but my family seems to not listen to me when I tell them to report it to...

  2. Love the Geriatric population, but not sure where to work in that field

    Rocktheman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I currently work as a CNA at a nursing home and I am graduating with my BSN from IUP this May. I honestly have fallen in love with Geriatrics. I love my patients to death (from a professional...

    Rocktheman posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hey guys. I'm a male RN student that works occasionally at a LTC faculty as an aide. I agree with the nurse BTW, but I'll tell you the story. It was my last day yesterday before the fall semester...

    Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in Nursing Career

    She also screamed this at me while three other aides were also present. I am not sure as to report her to the DON or not. This has happened in a much lesser manner on three different occasions (for...

  5. Seriously fed up.

    Rocktheman posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work 2nd shift at a nursing home. This one aide I report to on third shift, can go kiss my ass. Seriously. I go through walkthrough tonight with her and she doesn't even listen to my report. I get...

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

    My orientation was 2 weeks. Overall though, like others have said, the real learning starts when you are on your own. The first couple days by yourself can seem incredibly scary, but you'll adjust....

  8. Is finding a CNA job hard or easy?

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

  9. Should I call off?

    Rocktheman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a BSN student working at a nursing home since June as a CNA. I have never called off from work for being sick until now, and am only consciously thinking so because this is my first healthcare...

  10. Should I call off?

    Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Nursing

  12. Should I call off?

    Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Nursing

    I got turned down. She said to call in tomorrow morning. Said it was too early for a "priority" call off or something. She sounded like she didn't believe me though. Maybe its just me.

  16. Am I right in my thinking working on the dementia unit?

    Rocktheman posted a topic in General Students

    I have been wanting to ask this for a very long time, and it has been the first ethical issue I have faced in nursing. I am employed at a nursing facility that is one of the largest in the area, and...

  17. Am I right in my thinking working on the dementia unit?

    Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Students

    But honestly if I am ever faced with this situation again and the RN does not agree, should I just take it up the chain of command until I get an answer? And if after that should I consider reporting...

  18. Am I right in my thinking working on the dementia unit?

    Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Students

    I thought the same thing as many of you guys. I'm sorry but just carrying someone in is physical abuse. Or at least bordering it. I remember another aide was fired because she accidently put a...

  24. "Nursing Shortage"

    Rocktheman replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Yes haha! Granted nurse's will have an easier time then most other when looking for a job, but some people think they are literally hiring on the spot. It is so annoying. Something you heard 7 years...

  25. When do you know it's time to give up? :/

    Rocktheman replied to StudentN123's topic in General Students

    Ha I was reading the Post Partum section in my OB book the other day and it said that while caring for the patient, the nurse should "mother the mother", and it was just like, oh, I see how it is haha...
