   Windyhill replied to Bradley822's topic in Operating Room

   I recently had a fight with a particular rep. This one tried to take over my room, and point out my mistakes. I began memorizing what they brought in for cases, and they hated it. They got themselves in trouble because they sabatoged me on purpose b...

    You should try a nursing home first, or think about working at a small critical access facility if possible. It sounds like you are in a facility where the nurses are under a lot of stress, and need CNAs to be experienced with tough skin and stomach...

14. Being called a racial slur by a patient I sat?

    Windyhill replied to Rayrayma's topic in Relations

    Yes. In psych, you can forget it. You will be called everything. Usually these patients are very unhappy and not thinking straight. Many were put down and humiliated themselves by their own family. So they do the same to others. "I feel small, so...
