    What did you miss the most while allnurses was "closed"?

    Oh no! Never say the "Q" word in nursing. That's when all hell breaks loose...

    I'm a CNA, will I lose my license?

    I'm curious... Who took care of your patients the hour plus you went missing? In the future when you are sick, notify the proper higher ups and get the okay to leave before you go home.

    Sick and tired of wiping butts...HELLP

    How about something along the lines of Radiology, Ctscan, X-ray tech? Or maybe a Respiratory Therapist?

    Old nurse won't retire

    Gee. And here I thought it was only my hospital that this went on in! Lol. :)

    Burnout as a CNA and the impact on nursing

    Don't let this discourage you from nursing. Use it as motivation that you will not be that type of nurse. Plus being an aide versus a nurse are very different from one another. Try and stay positive, ask for help when you need it, and keep moving for...

    C.Diff Waste on Floor?

    The no gloves and lack of handwashing bothers me more than the trash bags. After all, the trash is just sitting there. Those unwashed/ungloved hands are going from room to room. Patient to patient. Coworker to coworker...

    Why did they chose someone who has only been there for 3 months as the lead CNA?

    Peer feedback

    This. Plus don't forget about your aides! HELPING them when they stressed. Nothing upsets me more than when I have 16-30 patients and all the nurses are chilling in the break room. Meanwhile calls bells and alarms are going off while I'm in the middl...

    CNAs sleeping on the job... What can I do as a new nurse?

    Have management address it first in a group meeting, but tell them you don't want the CNA's knowing the complaints came from you. Then when they are sleeping, wake them up and say, "You fell asleep, I am waking you up so you don't get in trouble." Th...
  13. You need to get an admin to edit this post for you. Besides the nursing home's name, you also put the DON's name. That combined with your user name and the specific details of your post is risky. Plus you even have the exact time of the incident. As ...
  14. I hope I don't find the patient "finger painting" in bed. (At least the stool softeners finally kicked in!)

    "I am a nurse!"

    My fav are the ones who are a CNA, home health care aide, or Animal Vet Tech. They say they are "nurses," contradict everything, watch every move staff makes like a hawk, and dictate how things should be done.
