3. What do you all think of this?

   christymwinn replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

   I too understand about feeling sleep deprived in the mornings on your way home. I have found myself so tired that I have had to pull over somewhere so I can "nap" until I am able to at least drive myself safely home. I do understand that as night nur...

4. Patient Care Tech and CNA?

   christymwinn replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   A CNA requires a certificate, they have to take a standard test. A PCA,PCT, or whatever other initials they have do not have to take that test. They might have to take a "test" for the place they are tring to get hired at and then go throught certai...

5. Posting fears...

   christymwinn replied to Rizpah's topic in General Nursing

   i am not too worried. i don't get too specific, and i don't think enough people truly pay attention to who you are here. there are so many of us, it's almost impossible. if it is something that i am truly worried about, i don't think i would post it...

6. Pt beds in the hallway

   christymwinn replied to Nurse1966's topic in General Nursing

   i have worked in a hospital that would put stretchers in halls of ER, but NEVER on the floors! The ER just had to go on diversion if that was the case. and this was in a city hopsital.

7. Is this abandonment?

   christymwinn replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

   if you are talking about that, then i agree with you too. i am from missouri as well and remember a lot of those nights. but on the other hand, if you are on your break, i don't think that should count. it is your own time.

11. I need advice quickly.

    christymwinn replied to bigtom2164's topic in Career Support

    IMO, i don't think that it would hurt you for your resume. If you are applying for healthcare realted jobs, technically you don't need to put it on there. You can if you want, but you can also explain that you were only there for a short time b/c you...

13. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    christymwinn replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    ok, i had to quit reading on page 7 b/c I was just getting thoroughly disgusted. I would say this to anyone in any job that they hate... if you are not going to do anything yourself to make the changes you say need to be made, then you need to go fin...

14. Pt beds in the hallway

    christymwinn replied to Nurse1966's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most above. I think it is unsafe and an ethical issue to have "inpatients" in a hallway. I would not want to be one of those patients, or any of my family members either. How can you give quality care in a situation like that? That is li...
