  1. Lateral Violence

    I have experienced bullying at work and here are my thoughts. There is personal and there is professional issues. Personal issues cannot be dealt with the same way. The example of being left out of activities outside of work or conversations pretty m...
  2. Is health care a "right"

    To me the question is not so much whether or not healthcare is a right. Depends how you define right. We have a serious problem in this country because healthcare is a business. Nurses probably suffer the most because of this, they are often under pa...
  3. Nurse Posts About a Patient on Facebook ... Duty to Report?

    Can someone clarify what a mandated hippaa reporter is? Are cna's mandated reporters? If so why cnas and not nurses?
  4. This post is a little scary to someone in nursing school. Seriously no jobs? It took me 6 months to get my current cna/ma job and I plan on working here once I graduate. I know a few people asked but what about ltc? It seems since they hire a lot of...
  5. Back in the day......

    The whole gloves thing is interesting, it seems some nurses still think this way. My cna instructor told us not to wear gloves unless we came in direct contact with the patient because it would make them feel bad. Later on I was taught to wear gloves...
  6. Excited about becoming an lpn

    So I finally got my acceptance letter for my lpn program. So thrilled. I am surprised how many people want to discourage that I am doing lpn- rn instead of straight rn. To me this is so perfect. Instead of 4 years as a cna I will net about 2 years th...
  7. What can I do to combat bullying?

    I seem to attract bullies to myself. I was bullies in school and in some previous jobs, but as cna bullying takes on a new dimension. First off I should say my job does things differently and I don't like it. They put several cna's on a team to care ...
  8. Definition of the word nurse

    Yes and as I stated before this question was never about me not knowing what to call myself I NEVER refer to myself as a nurse it,just seems that according to popular culture nurses were one a broad catagory of caregivers or the word nurse originally...
  9. Definition of the word nurse

    Ok so I am going to probably cause a huge reaction here but I am genuinely curious about this. As a nursing student and current cna/med aide I have heard nurses talking about the trouble with patients and family calling techs,aides, even kitchen or h...
  10. Why do CNA's get low pay for the hard labor that they do?

    I have always earned an average of 11 an hour I won't even look twice at jobs offering less than 9. I did have to get some education and considering how demanding the job is I just won't do it for less. If I am going to get paid 7.50 I am going to go...
  11. someone posed a question on here which I thought was very thought provoking why not licence cna's, and change it to lna. then they would have higher standards of accountability. make them go to school for 3-6 months and get some real education. You c...
  12. Yeah I don't get the whole ma thing a. the program at my school I believe is longer than the pn program and then they make what cna makes, it seems like a waste for all parties I dont see the advantage except saving money. I guessstill don't see why ...
  13. It may not be a problem I was just wondering why they would not hire an lpn to do it? where is the advantage?
  14. Just curious here, the last hospital I worked in was a magnet hospital and they were not hiring any lpn's even for outpatient. They fired their lpn's even the ones who had been there 20 plus years. Now I can get why a hospital would feel that more ed...
  15. What happened to orderlies?

    Just curious as I have been reading some about the history of professional nursing. Do some hospitals still have orderlies? If so do they differ from cna's? Why do most hospitals not have them? Is this just a situation where the title changed but the...
