  1. What to study?

    ahosoda posted a topic in Emergency

    I found out my practicum will be in the ED! I am beyond excited, but I feel at a loss when it comes to what I should be studying. This particular ER is very busy, but there is a higher level trauma...

  2. What to study?

    ahosoda replied to ahosoda's topic in Emergency

    Thank you

  3. My GPA is trash. What to do now?

    ahosoda replied to wpm7231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing you can do is complete all of your nursing prereqs at your current college. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like your previous GPA is from a different degree so you probably don't...

  4. Clinicals - What Not to Do?

    ahosoda replied to meganec17's topic in General Students

    I find it funny that so many people on here say, "don't be afraid to do bed baths, dirty work, feeding patients, etc." when I was going to say the opposite. My first few weeks of med surg clinical I...

  5. The Dreaded Group Projects

    ahosoda replied to naptimeRN's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain. This pretty much sums up my experience with group projects so far in nursing school: "When I die, I would like the people I did group projects with to lower me into my grave so they...

  6. So torn between Nursing and Social Work... advice?

    ahosoda replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    At my school you also have to get 100% on the med calc test. However, it is the easiest test you will have in nursing school. Let me give you an example of what the absolute HARDEST question on a med...

  7. Medication Aide exempt?

    ahosoda replied to neuron's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I doubt you would be able to be exempt from pharmacology. Pharm isn't just about memorizing drugs and their side effects. Its more about HOW drugs work, which you can't just look up in your drug guide...

  8. Unethical?

    ahosoda posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is a situation at work and I just don't know how to handle it. I work in LTC as a CNA, and I've found that the majority of nurses in my facility refuse to participate in a lot of care because...

  9. Unethical?

    ahosoda replied to ahosoda's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worry about this too. Luckily this was over the last 3 days so I hope the delay isn't too long to cause an issue. Also I did report it to the nurse supervisor after the first night but I think that...

  10. Unethical?

    ahosoda replied to ahosoda's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you all for your responses! I truly appreciate every single persons input. I will definitely start writing down everything she says in a notebook. Luckily I still have all of the dates of when...

  11. Unethical?

    ahosoda replied to ahosoda's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She said "take your pill(s)". Then they would say "I want to take this at ___ time." She would say "you can't do that, you have to take them now". Then she would grab the residents hands, dump the...

  12. Tips on Nursing School

    ahosoda replied to bdarden07's topic in General Students

    This depends on a lot of different factors: 1) Your school/clinical hours. During my prereqs, I always had the option of going to class in the morning, then working an evening shift (2pm-10pm). I was...

  13. cnas and end of shift med. count

    ahosoda replied to Schwenn813's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My points were: 1) OP should look up the laws in their state. Then I stated Washington's laws since some people think CNAs are never allowed to give medications, count, etc. when in fact they are...

  14. cnas and end of shift med. count

    ahosoda replied to Schwenn813's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Look into what your state does or does not allow. In Washington state, nurse delegation allows CNAs to pass medications if they are properly trained. I am required to do a narc count at the beginning...

  15. Wedding Planning & Accelerated BSN - Bad mix?

    ahosoda replied to SKay226's topic in General Students

    Congrats on the engagement! Very exciting. I am sort of in the same boat as you although I am not in an accelerated program. I think it all depends on the type of wedding you want. My fiance and I...

  16. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Red Kryptonite. What makes you think I don't work? Why do you keep implying this when I have stated it several times. Let me say it one more time. I am employed. Do you know what that means? It means...

  17. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That statement is incredibly rude and unprofessional.

  18. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. That is why in my original post on this thread I stated MANY ways I save money. People act like I'm living in the lap of luxury, laying around all day without any stress while mooching off...

  19. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I stated many reasons for using government assistance throughout this thread. You just picked one reason and use that to argue your point while ignoring everything else I have said. How convenient. My...

  20. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you. I appreciate people who choose to have an intellectual conversation over people who just choose to attack without stating facts or knowing information. This is probably the first post that...

  21. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please enlighten me with your wisdom. What did I say that was

  22. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not judging. If you READ what I said... "I HOPE..." I don't know how she does her practice. Maybe like the other poster said, maybe she is able to put her views aside and be a great nurse. I...

  23. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have said it once and I will say it again. Let's hope she cares about her patients more than she cares about her fellow

  24. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm tempted to ask you where you work because I want to avoid wherever that is at all costs. I hope to never run across a healthcare worker as presumptuous and judgmental as you. Your unwillingness to...

  25. Not working during nursing school?

    ahosoda replied to Infofreak411's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a difference between "time-consuming" and "easy". Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they design most graduate programs around the idea that these people are already RNs and they should keep...
