3. Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

   calidonrnstudent replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

   NEVER CALL THEM DIAPERS!!! I learned that in my NA class and it has always stuck with me. So often when some describes being a CNA they say "it's just like taking care of bigger babies"! No it is not, most of the residents know what is going on and...

11. camo scrubs.. opinion

    calidonrnstudent replied to b2sai's topic in Uniform/Gear
