  1. This does run in families. I was a nurseing assitant, my mother was a receptionist for three dentists, my aunt was a RN, my cousin's ex-wife was a RN, his present wife is a occupational therapist, another cousin was briefly a parametic for the fire d...
  2. This article really tells it like it is. I remember how the hospital I used to work at knew in advance when they were coming (JCAHO)And how things were deceiveingly made to look so wonderful. It was a sham then and appears to be a sham now. Money tal...
  3. Nurse Impersonators

    Many times now uap or nurse's aids are forced to impersonate nurses because of how there job decriptions are written. Invasive tasks that only a real nurse should do should be stopped and written into state's laws by state nurseing boards.
  4. ***Get CALIFORNIA STAFFING RATIOS here***

    Can anyone explain how nurse's aids or UAP fit end to the staffing ratios? Here in Ohio the rules for UAP staff is pretty much up to what the hospital wants it to be. I'am curious about this.
  5. I really don't think that certified nurse's aids should be doing anything with passing out medication. This is just one more step toward replaceing RN's with unlicensed personal. What 's next ?Giving chemo to cancer patients? This opens up Pandora's...
  6. Flimsy Gloves

    I worked at a hospital as a nurseing assistant and was takeing care of a patient with herpes. I was wearing gloves but, had a small papercut on my finger. There was a hole in the glove around where my cut was and the herpee bug got in there. I now h...
  7. a nurse's poem-I'm Sorry In Advance

    Your poem touched me. It made me cry. I'am not a RN but remember as a nurseing asistant how I couldn't give proper care and felt like why am I here? This should be in the letters to the editor section of every newspaper in the country.
  8. CNA's Humiliation

    I have a similar story to tell. I knew a RN who was dateing a married doctor at the time and when he finally left her for another woman her reply was.....and to think he would leave me for a non-professtional! She had the nerve to say such a thing i...
  9. If an MD shoved you...

    I saw a doctor hit a nurse in the back with a chart one time. The whole thing was covered up by the hospital. More afraid of something hurting their public image than repremanting the doctor.
  10. I can not understand why the networks,60 minutes,or dateline dont't talk about the nurseing shortage more. They seem to be clueless as to what is really happening. I heard on one local newscast that the reporter thought nurse's assistants just passed...
  11. CNA's Humiliation

    Nurses's aids,nurseing assistants,or CNA's do direct patient care for patients. In general they get very little respect from professtional staff and have to put up with condescending attitdes. I found that patients appreciated what I did much more so...
  12. Iam not a registered nurse but I worked as an nursing assistnt in a hospital for 21 years and saw all the changes that are taking place. It is scary how nursing assistants are takiing on the role of RN's by drawing blood,adminstering tube feeding,pu...
