This is 100% what I am saying. My husband works for a bank. I tried to explain to him it's like having the CEO (or a department head or anyone else in management) walk into work for the day & being told they're needed as a teller. You don't know ...
Just before I had found out about this pregnancy, I was on the verge of accepting a nursing position with another facility. I don't get any benefits through this job, but at least I would still qualify for my 12 weeks unpaid FMLA time once the baby ...
As a staff nurse that only works weekends & takes care of her 3 small children during the week, I really don't feel it's my place to try & hire nursing staff. And if I knew anyone qualified for a CNA position, I wouldn't exactly feel comfort...
Yeah, definitely not a volunteer thing. Don't get me wrong - some of the nurses (that started where I work as CNAs) love the change. But even they're getting tired of never being scheduled to work as nurses over and over and over again.
That's totally how I feel. The doc that wrote my coworkers note didn't believe her that she was being scheduled involuntarily for CNA shifts. I guess he was like, "I don't understand - did you get in trouble for something over there? Are you being ...
Where supplies are found in each room. How they transfer. Dentures? Depends or pads? How much assistance is needed in dressing. There are 25-30 residents on my floor with new admissions throughout the week - I know these things about some of the...
Wondering what others opinions are on this topic. I'm an RN, been working at the same LTC for 8 years. I'm also 4 months pregnant with my 4th child. For the past 6 months or so, RNs & LPNs have been scheduled to cover CNA shifts due to the wor...
Wow! All these stories are just nuts! I think I'll just stay in my lil' ole LTC - the most "deceitful" thing I have to deal with there is a 94 y.o. man who's only allowed to have two 1/2 oz of alcohol/day d/t liver disease, yet consistently tells t...
i honestly can't tell if you meant to or not, but i think that you just blatantly insulted the profession i worked very hard to be a part of and am very proud to be a part of.

I loooovvvvvee "pleasantly confused." I use it all the time - I'm a new nurse, I haven't really ever thought of the "appropriateness" of the term. I feel when I describe someone as "pleasantly confused" -to a family member or otherwise- I'm saying ...
