   makingitright replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Dear me...I have not commented here in a while, but this subject right here just seem to nag at me and rile me up and so I must put in my two cents worth. The very idea of discriminating against someone because of a personal choice is ludicrous to me...

2. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

   makingitright replied to nursehunnie's topic in Professionalism

   If you were to look up the definition of the word profession, clearly you would see that there is no question that nursing is a profession. As to CNA being a profession, I would dare to say that it is. We are educated, trained and are compensated for...

4. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

   makingitright replied to nursehunnie's topic in Professionalism

   Maybe it could be that the rant rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it is as simple as that. Or then again maybe perhaps it is the fact that I have heard such arguments before and I can mentally record each time a nurse has tried to disrespect me by using...

   makingitright replied to nursehunnie's topic in Professionalism

   Ok, let me say this I am CNA and I am aware of my limitations as such. I for one would never claim a title that I am not entitled to have within my scope of practice. For with a title comes responsibilities and with responsibility comes liability any...

6. Tattletale nurse

   makingitright replied to IndiKast's topic in LPN/LVN

   The world is full of mean people and one has to learn to defend oneself from such people. The most important thing here is the wellbeing of your patient. Secondly, you cannot leave yourself open to be accused of negligence and such. You did the right...

   makingitright replied to mommalumps's topic in Student Assist

   It is true when they say the spirit is strong, even though sometimes the body is weak. Your resilience here is so commendable, truth is I feel to just give you a hug right now. If I had the money I would give it to you myself. Take care!

   I tend to wash them in hot water and I also like to add a little pinesol to the water or some other desinfectant. I do not like to take any chances.

10. Help! Dealing with Alzheimer's!

    makingitright replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, I think perhaps it bothers you more than you are willing to say. The hurt and pain you carry must be unbearable. I often times ask why do these things have to happen, it is so difficult. It is hard for the patient, but even harder still for the...

13. Totally Gross! Had to share...

    makingitright replied to Bumashes's topic in Relations

    My take on this anecdote is this, I do not believe that the person who started this thread was making fun of the patient. I think it was of a way to deal with the situation. Personally, I have seen many sad things and I have also seen many funny thin...
