1. How often do you play hooky?

   Cute_CNA replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

   Agreed. The mental health of a nurse should not be discounted, or considered "hooky." Your mental health is a large part of your overall wellbeing.

2. Family member sabotaging patient!

   Cute_CNA replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   She is (supposedly) a physician, but acts like she is your father-in-law's physician? If she is administering treatments to this patient, wouldn't that be malpractice, since it is NOT her patient? If she really does have a license, she should be repo...

3. News of Mother's Death Left on Answering Machine

   Cute_CNA replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   That sounds like someone who would make a sick prank call instead of a professional dealing with patients. Who would do that? :angryfire

4. Excuse me, I wasn't talking to you!!

   Cute_CNA replied to thumperRN's topic in General Nursing

   Is there any way that you can get the pt.'s wishes in writing? Perhaps he could get a lawyer? I think some actions need to be taken w/o the family present.

5. Tipping a doctor, acceptable?

   Cute_CNA replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

   The "gift" seems inappropriately large, to me. Talk to your grandfather and find out his reasoning.

6. Old photo of nurse on rooftop???

   Good job!

7. Yeah, that's right, it's my fault.

   Cute_CNA replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

   :chuckle I knew what you meant.

8. Help...are these feelings "normal"

   Cute_CNA replied to TallyJofutureRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not a nurse but I also think your feelings are normal. It is terribly sad to see a person who was once so full of life just wasting away in an environment that doesn't seem as beneficial as it could be. You might want to consider a different area...

9. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

   Cute_CNA replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, yes, yes!

10. Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    Cute_CNA replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!!

11. Nurses need strong enforceable whistle blower laws!

    Cute_CNA replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

    I'm glad that there are more nurses speaking up for themselves so they don't get walked all over, and also can help make life a little easier for the nurses that come after them. Good for them. :icon_hug:

12. Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    Cute_CNA replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God. I would have been so ticked. I really hate that we are in such a sue-crazy world right now. Like it's the only answer. And I think the cause is greed. I hope nothing happens for this family to get an itchy trigger finger. To answer the OP'...

13. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    Cute_CNA replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    I think this was rather a rude comment, and I don't think you have experienced the things I have. And since you have no idea what it's like to be me, or know who I am at all, what right does that give you to pass judgment? Further, what does MY profe...

14. Nursing Assistants Responsibilities-I Need Help!!

    Cute_CNA replied to ChattyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget what she said above... it seems that there were a few attempts made already to help this woman, but she just wasn't using the bedpan when given the opportunity for one reason or another. The OP was probably expecting the same result when...
