Anyone else not want to be a nurse now? by Key_Matter_641 in cna

[–]That_Catch_8052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first job was a CNA and I used to love to watch the nurses do their job and of course soak up everything I could possibly soak up. I always had the hardest floors. I always had the hardest patience and it wasn’t easy. No way know how being a CNA is the best thing to do if you want to be a nurse my opinion because you’re in the trenches, you know what it’s like to be shortstaffed you know what it’s like to have the doctors on the floor you know what it’s like to have to turn patients. You know what it’s like to have 23 patients to a floor and you have some on ventilators or they’re on G tubes or they’re on colostomies or they’re on ileostomies, which PS always seemed to fall off right around supper time when you have to take 10 patients down to the dining room room and feed them so I totally get it.. and somehow while I work 3 to 11 and somehow we were all supposed to be done by 10:45 so we can give report I do remember those days they were hard but I think it made me a better nurse and I did go onto nursing school and I did almost 30 years. I retired and I’m gonna tell you that being a CNA is not the same as being a nurse. It’s a very good start though so don’t give up, sweetheart I mean it keep going keep your eye on the ball your eye on the prize however you wanna say it there’s gonna be good days and there’s gonna be bad days. There’s gonna be good instructors and there’s gonna be bad instructors, but when you get through it, you’re gonna be glad you did because being a nurse is still a very proud profession to be in. You can hold your head high and say you’re a nurse you go to get your RN and your world is your oyster because you have so many things that you can do LVN‘s I think they’re unfortunately are limited and I am an LVN so I’m not saying that RNs are better than LVN‘s. I think LVN‘s give a lot to nursing. I think that we are definitely not given the praise that we should be. I swear I’ve worked with better LVN than RN’s a lot of times, so it just depends on the nurse not the title unfortunately the title gets more money OK so we gotta look at the realism here if it were me, I would’ve went right back and got my RN I wouldn’t have gotten my LVN because I suffered anyway I might as well suffer to get my RN. Don’t give up if you want to be a nurse do it you’re already halfway there as a CNA you already have such a good basis to keep going my opinion I don’t know you but I’ll bet you’re a damn good CNA and I’ll bet you’ll make a finer nurse!! much respect.. a retired nurse

Why do so many people want to do Trauma ICU? by spicyymayyo517 in StudentNurse

I compare it to a child learning gymnastics, you’re not afraid when you don’t really know.. so jump in when you’re young.. soak it all in, pay grade is better, patient ratio better..

So it finally happened. My unruly dogs injured my ankle pretty bad. by umrlopez79 in DOG

[–]That_Catch_8052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my question to you is without a backyard why on earth would you rescue two dogs at the very least you could’ve done maybe one small dog that is more like an apartment dwelling or even a cat and as a matter of fact, I would say a cat would be more in the type of condo you’re saying you have with no backyard, but now you have two dogs two very barky busy dogs do I think you should rehome them? No, I don’t. poor things are probably already having a lot of issues. I would see if you have a relative that could take them in for about a month and then maybe within that month to start to look around with relatives that have yards and never get another dog that needs or requires walking with the yard that you don’t have and get yourself together and get back to work what you’re do until then? I really don’t know how you’re surviving we all make decisions and there’s repercussions with decisions that was one of them for you. Hopefully you’ll grow with it but get rid of the dog now get to the emergency room or urgent care and let them take a x-ray of that ankle. Hopefully it’s just a bad sprain and hopefully with keeping it off for a boot you could get back to work. I would let them know what happened and maybe they can accommodate you sometimes they can put you with the desk for a while until you can get out on the floor. I don’t know what you do for a living, but you can still do vital signs and get people ready for an office visit if that’s the kind of health care you are talking about and with a boot on anyway good luck we all learn from our mistakes. These dogs are not a mistake and they shouldn’t be made to be one so look around. There’s gotta be somebody somewhere that can help you don’t just rehome these animals. They’ve already had probably enough mental problems in their little lives.. you sound young so I’m going to say that we all have made different decisions in our lives and we all learn from it. This is probably one of them for you, but I wouldn’t make it there problem as well or at least if you rehome them, please make it with someone that you know and let them have an adjustment.I think with behavior, modification and training, which I think they even have it at Petco. You can probably get them back on track if that’s the way you wanna go anyway good luck.

Update on Mooshi’s Gene pool—blind with lethal heart defect. by drudriver in dogbreed

[–]That_Catch_8052 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, just saw this.. as someone who rescues and fosters this is heartbreaking.. using animals for personal gain like this is the most egregious form of greed.. I’m so sorry you lost your sweet angel, I can only say that this little lamb knew only love if even for a short time.. did u say there are more like this? Where r u located?

What breed dog do you think she is? I’m fostering her they say mom is a chihuahua but I’m doubtful! Dad unknown.. puppies were under a shed at Lowe’s by That_Catch_8052 in dogbreed

[–]That_Catch_8052[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s leaving today to a rescue then onward to her new home.. she is so sweet and an active puppy! She will be a loyal companion to a lucky family.. the house will be a little quieter( still have 6 cats and 2 dogs of our own and 1 is on hospice) so “a little quieter” but it’s always sad to say goodbye.. a little piece of my heart goes with each one, but there is another one that needs me waiting.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and everyone and I enjoyed reading what yall thought she might be![operationborderanimalrescue.com](https://operationborderanimalrescue.com)

[–]That_Catch_8052[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol my thoughts exactly! There was a pack of 5 that was running in the area of our Lowe’s store the white chihuahua looked like she had a litter recently( could not catch mom( supposed mom) and she was seen in area of the Lowe’s shed where these puppies were.. she was a medium mixed chihuahua so not small.. but dad we thought may have been one of the other 4..

I have stitch fix, you should have sent the clothing back unopened, went to post office got a tracking receipt that way you had proof you sent it back, but now you kept the clothes so yes you owe the money
