  2. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Go to a Catholic university and then complain it's too Catholic? I just can't even...... You chose to be there. You knew it was religious. Either pull up the big boy/girl pants and deal, or transfer. And as to prestigious.....when it comes to nurs...

  6. Nursing and the supernatural

  10. But all the Nurse is doing is sitting down. Why cant the help?

    What the? Dear Lord, that little piece of work needs an attitude tune up. I can't imagine any workplace that supports behavior like that. If yours does, I'm truly sorry for you. I refused to speak like that to a nurse even when a wussy charge nur...
  11. cnas and end of shift med. count

    Arizona allows CNAs to be trained as med techs too, in certain kinds of facilities. But a CNA who does not have such training is violating scope by being responsible for medications in any way except assistance with self administration, like reminde...
  12. cnas and end of shift med. count

    No way in hell would I allow my employer to make me responsible for medications I can't even legally touch. I actually had to do battle with my boss about a similar issue regarding scope. When your butt ends up in a sling with the BON these people ...
