2. RN's forced to do CNA work

   Five&Two Will Do replied to rnckr's topic in New Nurse

   \ Ok, let me try again...I believe that I apologized for any misunderstandings from my earlier post. Either way, the OP probably doesn't need you to defend her/him. I never cease to be amazed with the touchy people on this site. I apologized to yo...

3. RN's forced to do CNA work

   Five&Two Will Do replied to rnckr's topic in New Nurse

   I don't know what kind of unit you work on, but it is nice too leave the monitors and gtt's and definitley doctors behind for a day!!!

4. RN's forced to do CNA work

   Five&Two Will Do replied to rnckr's topic in New Nurse

   And sooner or later after many hard shifts of work overload and all of the extra responsibility that comes with the letters "RN" a good shift of patient care or sitter duty is quite appealing to me too!

6. RN's forced to do CNA work

   Five&Two Will Do replied to rnckr's topic in New Nurse

   I hardly think disparage is a word that would rate my comment appropriately. All I am saying is that "patient assessment and meds, treatments, dressings" are only part of the entire nursing practice. Do you think that each level of licensure builds...

   Congratulations and welcome to the largest healthcare network in the world! I love the VA. I would work at another hospital, but it would have to be a VA as well!

9. RN's forced to do CNA work

   Five&Two Will Do replied to rnckr's topic in New Nurse

   I work in a medical ICU, we do not have any nursing assistants most of the time. I was a CNA for 5+ years before going to nursing school. The term "CNA" work is really really insulting. NURSING begins with the basics. This includes being a sitter, or...

10. Ethical question...give their alcohol back or not?

11. I feel like everybody hates being a nurse!!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to hershdawg's topic in General Nursing

    I love being a nurse. I like the ICU more than I did the floor, but it was fine too. I do not mind working hard, and that seems to be one of the important components to enjoying this career. The people that I hear complain about work and how it is so...

    Five&Two Will Do posted a topic in MICU

    Hi does anyone know how much volume is given per squeeze from an adult ambu bag? Just curious and I could not seem to find this info on the manufacturer's site. I am not asking about the assessment for adequate ventilation, ie. monitoring chest rise,...

13. Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Bortaz's topic in Professionalism

    I never understood putting all of your personal life on the internet. I have personally seen nurses call in sick to work and then our coworkers see that they post later that afternoon what a wonerful time shopping at the mall. I had a FB page for a...

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Deb123j's topic in MICU

    I like Tarascons pocket critical care guide, but as has been previously stated each facility has its own guidelines for gtt's. For example we have several nurses on this unit that came from a major medical center in the area. I received a patient f...
