  1. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    How is that considered racist? At least I'm not calling her a slanty eyed gook. Pff. ? That notion seems to follow this post and the previous one. There is no notion of racism. There is no intent to...

  2. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    It's actually a joke where I work. The DON hates firing people, so she says, but if I'm not doing anything wrong, why not turn the cheek? I'm not messing with residents, or their property, or their...

  3. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I have a lot of debt and living in a van is financially an unbeatable way at taking control of your problems. It may not be that way to you and you might be okay with taking your debt and your...

  4. Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I've got a question. Hopefully, people are online. So, I'm a veteran, young, no kids, no wife, no marital obligations of any kind or child support. Nothing. I'm a CNA at a nursing rehab here in Las...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Update: A church pastor helped me fix my van. I sold my car to another veteran who will bring it back up to my city from where he's from 2 hours away once I get the title for him will give me money...

    You can't do much when 1. Your vehicle has a check engine light 2. no license plates because of check engine light and you're only using the van because it's the fastest way to get through nursing...

  8. Dealing with quadras

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey reader! Question: So, I'm working at a ventilation/rehab/LTC and of our daily census, I can only think of two quadriplegics. In my experience as a CNA, they are VERY bossy IF they're alert and...

  9. FT work w/ PT nursing school?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question for you all. I plan on studying for the TEAS entrance exam soon and the program I'd like to enter has a part-time program. I'm wondering if it's doable or easier if you work...

  10. RN, ADN being obsolete

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    But there are things BSNs have to learn or are legally allowed to do that ADNs can't. I can't remember what they were, but payscale between the two during an interview is also an issue facilities...

  11. RN, ADN being obsolete

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    I think I did hear something about nursing licenses becoming federal licenses instead of state where if you move to another state, you don't have to retake the NCLEX in that new state because it...

  12. financial donation to a needy patient

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to bounjour's topic in General Nursing

    You know what sucks? I was living in my car once, met a guy who was in the service like I was, and told me that the VA has a housing program for homeless veterans through section 8. I tried it out,...

  13. Dealing with quadras

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

    One quad we have will cuss you out because he assumes you have common sense. He'll say stupid things to you like "It's common sense, man!", but does he say that because of his situation? Or has he...

  14. Dealing with quadras

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

    Awesome advice. The management at my facility are kind of dimwittish. You ask them for a follow up on a TB shot they give you as you come on board and they tell you to keep coming back to them every...

  15. Harrison closing

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to dreamer30's topic in General Nursing

    I just got scolded by Aunt Slappy lmao Your comment and profile picture are a perfect pair. This was awesome. I don't know when ITT and Harrison college were closed down. OP is just now realizing it....

  16. Harrison closing

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to dreamer30's topic in General Nursing

    That's surprising considering all the news about Betsy DeVos removing restrictions on students rights and modifying many things that are crucial for students. She has a very bad rep from what I've...

  17. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    I think I asked something like this, but my question was more voluntarily involved as in "I would want to work as a CNA on the side" rather than "Do I really ******* have

  18. Surgeon for an instructor

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Students

    Has anyone ever had a surgeon for an instructor and not an RN? He wasn't a very nice guy was he? Mine sure isn't. He asks very difficult questions that make you think "were these covered in the book...

  19. Surgeon for an instructor

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    "Nursey words" I like that. Some of those words you mentioned like Hyperkalemia I can break down. It makes sense that it's "high/potassium/blood" I could see "-ka" which I think means potassium, or...

  20. Surgeon for an instructor

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I couldn't imagine what it was like for him in med school. I could not imagine the types of questions that he was asked. It sounds like your wife had to verbalize what she had to do. I would...

  21. Surgeon for an instructor

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    He practices on the side a well. I believe this weekend he said he's travelling somewhere and won't have any internet access till he gets back next weekend. So, he'll be gone for a whole

  22. Surgeon for an instructor

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    I don't think a patient, or a large majority of patients I'll see, will have any knowledge of medical terms I've never seen

    Feeling very discouraged from ever getting to be a nurse. Has anyone ever failed their first pathophysiology

  24. What is considered a positive TB test, 10mm or 15mm?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I remember this from a long time ago. If you're in school, the book or instructor is always right and never combine books with clinicals. Once you graduate, your employer is always right, not the...

  25. What is considered a positive TB test, 10mm or 15mm?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I think I read in my patho book that people with sickle cell disease are immune from getting malaria which is the only benefit for being sickle cell
