   clhsunfire replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

   Let's see. What freaks me out.....Well, I work as a home health aide with a patient that has a trach, so sputum doesn't bother me in the least. Poop, no biggy-it's just natural. Vomit, also natural. Well to get to the bottom of it: I had a liver and...

7. uniforms are killing us

   clhsunfire replied to parklandtrauma's topic in General Nursing

   I do think that you should wear what you like. although, having a certain color uniform for each title, CNA, RN, etc. sounds like a pretty interesting idea...... at least people would know if you were a tech, an assistant , a nurse, whatever.

8. Nursing and Piercings?

    clhsunfire replied to jaystrupp's topic in General Nursing

    When I was 8 years old i witnessed my father having a grand mal seizure in bed. It was a frightening experience for me and to tell you the truth I was afraid for a while after that. My dad was 34 at the time; they diagnosed him with an astrocytoma. F...
