1. did you ever think it would be like this?

   omni123 replied to jamonit's topic in New Nurse

   I think it would be abnormal not to feel like this. Mostly, I find myself checking myself over and over to make sure I'm not making a mistake. People look at me like I'm crazy when I keep checking the meds with the computer before giving IV push meds...

2. RN- How do I get the most from CNA/s while not causing major conflict on the unit

   omni123 replied to kyrn1999's topic in Safety

   I know just what you mean. I was also a CNA for several years before graduating this past year. The CNAs on the floor I work show absolutely no respect. They think because I am orienting to the floor I hould also be doing their work, too. I realize I...

   omni123 replied to Aritchie-loynes's topic in General Nursing

8. why should doctors be paid higher

   omni123 replied to etinosa's topic in General Nursing

   People say nurses should be paid more for their work. My question is, what does everyone think fair pay would be?

9. Working as an NA?

   omni123 replied to Skinny's topic in General Students

   I am a Nursing Student currently and I am also a CNA. Where I work, everyone knows that the best nurses are CNAs first. This is because nurses that have never worked as a CNA have less understanding of how demanding it is to be a CNA. The nurses I...
