   polish nurse replied to nursprl's topic in Maryland

   as a home health nurse most of my patients are discharged from Shady Grove. Most give it a negative report and I myself will not go there. Suburban Hospital has a much better reputation.

   polish nurse replied to Scrub Monkey's topic in COVID

   If "only the needle tips are changed"? OMG-WHERE is this??? For me, it's not the safety of the vaccine that is the issue (although I do have hesitations) it's the fact that it is being mandated. Are teachers being required to be vaccinated? After all...

   polish nurse replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

   I have been on both sides of the issue. When I was in management at LTC facilites staff had to speak English on the floors. During break and at lunch I didn't care as they were all from various African countries. Speaking anything other than English ...

8. Calling yourself a "nurse"

   i could get myself in trouble here but I agree wholeheartedly with everyone. Nothing irritates me more when people call a CNA or med tech a 'nurse." We've all worked too hard and the last time I checked we have degrees and are licensed and NOT certi...

    Hang in there. Don't go to an ER. I have been there and actually hate being a nurse. I used to love it, but the stress and overwork just grew and grew. Are you being too hard on yourself? I have tried to look for something non nursing but it's hard ...

14. Is this typical for an LTC facility?

    polish nurse replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience-yes. CNA's sleeping on night shift, on-going missed meds by med techs and terrible, terrible staffing. This was "assisted living", no less. Total care patients in violation of state regs. In defense of the CNA's they were paid $9/hr ...
