    Which is better University of Memphis nursing program or Baptist nursing program ?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Dsmith181's topic in School, College Programs

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Awww Jen, I'm sorry you had to deal with that When patients treat me harshly, I try to remind myself that I shouldn't take it personally. Sometimes you get patients that are cognitive and being rude...

    You have good study methods, but it might be how you're utilizing the information (or not utilizing it) that is hurting your progress. I do a few things to make the material stick: Find the same...

    Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    I love those recommendations! For me, I use bareminerals powder in the matte formula. It's more than I'd like to pay ($30), but lasts months with me using it every day. It covers a multitude of sins...

    falling asleep during nightshift

    Wiggly Litchi replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. You're not doing your job. Your job is to stay awake - what if your patient codes? And don't say "Oh, my coworker will wake me up!" because that's still absolutely deplorable. Your sleep...

    Just because he can speak does not mean he knows what's going on. If he's a dementia patient, then he's going to be mentally impaired, have issues rationalizing things, be out of touch with reality...

    Can't stop thinking about work

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Michelles87's topic in General Nursing

    As I'm not a nurse yet, I can't say what it's like in relation to that job, but I've had it with other healthcare related jobs. Please take some time for self-care if you're not doing so already....

    i have a question

    Wiggly Litchi replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yep, but so did everyone else too. Let their nurse know (if they don't already), and let them escalate it. All you can do is just make sure they are safe and clean, even if they are urinating on...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Ahopkins81's topic in General Nursing

    Wiggly Litchi replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
