    MegGusta replied to MegGusta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's really good experience. I bet you'll get in! I feel the same way in my current job, too. This charter school cannot afford to pay good money since their funding is not backed by the county like...

    MegGusta replied to MegGusta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right? I am losing my mind. How I will make it to June 22nd, I've no idea. I feel so behind in life, if I don't get in I will be very distraught. Are any of you working? If so, where and how do you...

  5. You are not a nurse...

    MegGusta replied to TMT_P's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can see where both of you might be coming from. As clearly stated in my username, I am a CNA and I spend more time than I'd like to admit explaining to folks that I am not a nurse. It seems to me...

    MegGusta replied to MegGusta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so nervous. I am also from Tampa and I did not apply anywhere else because I cannot relocate. Fingers crossed! I did not specify that I wanted to get my MPH and ARNP, but I did focus on the 2nd...

    MegGusta replied to MegGusta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    MegGusta replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At this moment in time, it seems as though the job market is absolutely flooded with young nurses. However, we have yet to see the majority of our "baby boomers" retire and leave their nursing posts...

  13. USF Accelerated BSN Fall 2015!

    MegGusta replied to MegGusta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They probably only meant that it is not included on your blind profile and that it does not give you an automatic advantage over other people. However, definitely include your experience in your essay...

  16. Better off single?

    MegGusta replied to westcounty's topic in General Students

    It sounds to me like she is exerting control over her life in the only area left for her to have any influence over, honestly. That is perfectly normal but it can be detrimental at times. She may very...

  17. Can someone explain to me....

    MegGusta replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    I hope it is okay to participate on this thread; I am a CNA with the title of health assistant, but I am also the one stuck confiscating baggies of various pills, like you all. I simply work under the...

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

    MegGusta replied to Fall15NYU's topic in General Students

    My long ride with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and a pituitary adenoma inspired me to take care of people. I have my nurses to thank for keeping my spirit alive during those rough two years of absolute...

  21. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

    MegGusta replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I noted that her generalization was not okay, if you'd care to quote the whole post. It also isn't to be taken kindly if it isn't considered a kind gesture. I was taking a moment to shed light on the...

  22. Is this abuse?

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

    Absolutely no need to be anything but gentle and considerate when someone helpless is in your care. I would certainly report this with careful diction and remain an advocate for the patients. Never...

  23. What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    MegGusta replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Instead of telling you that you need to suck it up, I am going to give you advice. LOL First, what you consider "bullying" is different from everyone else's definition. However, that does not mean it...

    MegGusta replied to smellslikesarah's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate that train of thought. Thanks for supporting the CNA! I was specifically speaking to the directive to notify the charge nurse, in the OP's case. That might not be the greatest policy, and...
