1. Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

   CrzyNrsBSN replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Relations

   Yes it's pissing me off that everyone is telling ME what happens at MY ER. Last story. I had a nurse tell me a story, which happens to her friend. Her friend is a nurse, she pissed off an aide. The aide was a vindictive bihh. She took some of her pe...

   FlyingScot. Okay, I agree with your perspective. I have delegated in this manor in LTC. Which is something I am not use.to. I am an ER nurse. Nothing is planned out. We ALL FALL into place, without a word being said. Now as far as the EKG thing. I ...

   Read what I have written. I AM AN ER NURSE. My daughter is 17 and works PRN as an aide. SHE IS TREATED LIKE CRAP! I started working at an LTC facility as an experiment. My experiment is over, they are getting my notice next week. The techs in my hos...

   You took that out of context. We call them that amongst ourselves. E.g., "Patient Care Tech, my ass, she's the technical nurse". This was actually said a few months ago, after a seasoned nurse, new to the ER, froze during a code and the tech began CP...

5. Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

   CrzyNrsBSN replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Relations

   Once again, I.will say, I am speaking of my position in LTC. I am putting my notice in, the first of next week. It was a social experiment, as I previously stated. I had forgotten how I sometimes felt as an aide. I thought my daughter was being a cr...

   CrzyNrsBSN replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Relations

   I NEVER said they are called "technical nurses". I was throwing out an idea. You can question who I am all you want. I would be more than happy to provide you my name and employer, with written consent to call. This is the exact issue I am talking a...

   CrzyNrsBSN replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Relations

   Thank you for understanding what I am saying without.trying to throw around power. No one is entitled to respect they did not earn. I did not want this to turn into any type of argument (not that it really has) I just wanted nurses and CNAs to come t...

9. Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

   CrzyNrsBSN replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Relations

   This is exactly what I am saying. If we have competent employees, delegation is not needed. I do not check to make sure the techs do their job correctly. I am not required. I also do not feel the need to. They are competent and if I felt they weren't...

10. Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

    CrzyNrsBSN replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Relations

    But there is ALWAYS an option. They are able to say no What if they are in the middle of ambulating an unsteady patient, and you say Ms. Jones needs, such and such now. The aide cannot say no? Also,if they aren't doing anything, they have the option...

11. Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

    CrzyNrsBSN replied to CrzyNrsBSN's topic in Relations

    Your are right about the PCT title. Which is why I threw out the example of "nurse technician". My 17 year old daughter is a CNA, some of her stories brought back, less than fond memories. What state do you live in? In the states I have practiced, yo...

12. What nursing task do you loathe???

    CrzyNrsBSN replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    I am on a kick right now so please bare with me. I LOATHE nurses talking $h*t about CNAs. I LOATHE nurses and administrators acting as if the job of the aide is ignorant, monkey work. I LOATHE that they are still being called nursing assitance. Let...

13. Why do nurses delegate with a power trip?

    CrzyNrsBSN posted a topic in Relations

    So I started as a CNA and worked my way up, minus LPN. I now find myself with a BSN and a blur of my days as an aide. I recall feeling underappreciated and lower than dirt. I remember being "told" to complete tasks and not asked. Once I became an R...
