   Laught3r replied to mmcnabb3's topic in General Nursing

5. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

   Laught3r replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

   My hospital givs us a choice. Take the shot or wear a mask every minute you are in the building. If you are cought without the mask before the end of respiratory season you may be terminated. Simple and your autonomy is still intact.

   Laught3r replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Laught3r replied to DeanaKay's topic in General Nursing

    I do not agree with your post. I was an CNA for 10 years before becoming an LPN and I will tell you that the very hardwork that CNA's do are the basic care of the nursing profession. It is by no means a very small part. Even now I like to do vitals ...

    Laught3r replied to californiadreaming's topic in General Nursing

    When I was considering becoming a Nurse I asked many Nurses why they became Nurses if it is considered to be so stressful and difficult. One 30+ year Nurse explained it this way " The Peace Corps said it best its 'The toughest job you'll ever love'"...

    Laught3r replied to Gr8Dane's topic in General Nursing

    As a former CNA turned Nurse I have a few suggestions that may help the Nurse-CNA relationship. -if you are in a pt's room and they need vitals at that time and you are assessing pt. get the vitals and let the CNA know so that they don't do the wor...
