   Nurse Assistant Exam

   That sucks, but what if you get certified in Arizona and TRANSFER it to MI.

   3 main nursing assessments and 3 nursing interventions for asthma attacks

   Pca_85revived replied to Patrick Villamor's topic in Student Assist

   PS-it would come off nicer if you actually said hello and asked for help vs just posted the question, word for word.

   Dating while in nursing school?

   Pca_85revived replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

   Sometimes, just seeing them weeds them out. If the personality sucks, too, that gets a cuter guy with a chance rejected. Not tons, not trying to sound like a jerk. Just some.

   3 Nursing Assessments And Nursing Interventions When A Pt Becomes Unconscious

   Pca_85revived replied to Patrick Villamor's topic in Student Assist

   I'm guessing OP already knows ABC? If you want specifics, there's a million scenarios that could turn out many different ways and there isn't enough information posted to go on. What are they admitted with, what meds have they received, etc..

   Dating while in nursing school?

   Pca_85revived replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

   PS-I really hope you understand the legal risk involved in contacting someone who doesn't want to be. It's very easy to get put in jail and honestly, I would have had a restraining order by now. Intensity isn't attractive if it's in the form of anger...

   Please help guide me

   Pca_85revived replied to Rlandreth's topic in CNA/MA

   Talk to the director of nursing or human resources. I'm even venturing you could bring up that you working that much is as dangerous as the people who were working high being there. I know it sounds extreme, but think about it.

   Dating while in nursing school?

   Pca_85revived replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

   She tried to turn you down, basically hoping you'd lose interest by the time she was out of school. You're making yourself sound really stalkerish and disrespectful, just based on what you've posted. She isn't interested and doesn't want to be contac...

   Unconventional hair colors

   Pca_85revived replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

   I know an LPN in a group home with a mohawk and another with pink hair. Honestly, I'm all for it, but most of your coworkers and patients won't be. Can't you wear a wig or temp hair color at work?

   Being called an idiot

   Pca_85revived replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Relations

   ''Doctor, I've gathered all of the information needed on the patient we're BOTH responsible for to ensure there are no errors made and OUR patient doesn't receive the wrong treatment, getting both or us in trouble." My inner agitated LPN would say, "...

    Jealous of my residency

    Pca_85revived replied to Sinkorswim's topic in New Nurse

    They're not your friends. You bonded with them in the living hell that is nursing school. You chose a path you felt best for your professional growth and so did they. I'm a total stranger and applaud your decision to make such a long term decision th...

    Binded with a contract and trying to see the positive side of it.

    Pca_85revived replied to nursejaclynxx's topic in General Nursing

    You'd lose at least 25k between the contract breaking fee and working for what agency aides make where I live. Ohio isn't exactly NYC. If you don't need that 25k, I'd give it a very happy home for you. I think the 15 an hour is a slap in the face, pl...

    What do you do to volunteer and give back?

    Pca_85revived replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to sound awful, but I think my almost fifteen years in the medical field is enough for humans. Maybe a five or ten to a homeless person once in a while, a twenty to the Red Cross. Animals are where I shine. I've fostered and adopted many re...

    Is this considered abandonment?

    Pca_85revived replied to Maggadale's topic in CNA/MA

    No. It's just something they say to scare you. I heard this directly from the people who run the STNA registry for my state. The guy actually laughed, though I don't recommend doing that upon returning to work.

    Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    Pca_85revived replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Students

    I'm not a guy, so I apologize for posting here if that's not ok. Your good coworkers won't care about your sexual orientation, just about how you are to work with and the care you give. I've worked with straight people who were awful to work with and...

    revoked approval for CNI in orange county?

    Pca_85revived replied to jackieApple's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    They can withdraw approval for a number of reasons, returning to review what the school has done to fix the problem or problems some time later. Those actions are what I'd focus on, because they're what the approving.....board? will be looking at whe...
