    LTC nurses...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It was more tongue in cheek than anything~ I'd be less of a ''mere CNA" if people didn't diminish us. :x Sorry if my comment offended, it honestly wasn't meant

    HELP!!! I Dont Know How To Study

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Kirsten81774's topic in General Students

    Not going to lie - this is probably one of the best things you can do to enhance your college experience. As others have said, be an active reader! Try the SQ3R method (SQ3R - Wikipedia) or even...

    Nursing schools WITHOUT wait lists?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in School, College Programs

    Haha it's all good! - depending on the location, I spend roughly 10% of my time clearing up bodily fluids/feces. I think that's about average - once you get a system down it ends up being a rather...

    Nursing schools WITHOUT wait lists?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in School, College Programs

    Shortened the quote a bit because I wanna focus on this part - I don't think anyone's in CNA work for the paycheck haha, though some do make a career out of it and that's cool too. I find a lot of...

    Nursing schools WITHOUT wait lists?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in School, College Programs

    As a CNA, I'd also love to get paid more than 10 bucks an hour haha, but that's a discussion for another time. Being a CNA isn't for the faint of heart - sure, it's not glamorous work by any means,...

    LTC nurses...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Since I'm a mere CNA, I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in. I've worked with many wonderful and some not-so-wonderful nurses - please bear in mind I don't gauge them on a scale based on how much they can...

    For radial pulse, here's a little trick: move two fingers to the squishy part at the base of the thumb, then scoot them down 1inch - this should put you in a good spot to feel the radial pulse. Don't...

    Is it normal to feel doubtful?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to victoriapenner's topic in General Students

    It's normal to doubt and wonder when we feel challenged. I'm heading in to my first year of nursing, but I felt this way in my past major and all through my prerequisites. It got so bad at one point...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Men in Nursing

    There's a difference between being a gold-digger and wanting a guy that's self-sufficient/responsible. Speedy even stated in her post that her husband made less than half of what she did, yet he was...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to makykh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This thread is really refreshing to read as I start nursing school officially on Sept 6th. To say I'm nervous is an understatement, and like many, I wonder if it's actually "that hard" and people just...
