  1. Got called "stupid" at work

    thank you for asking about dad. he has had 3 surgeries over the course of a month and 1/2. his right artery was 90% accluded (sp?). the doctor operated on his neck first and then in april operated on his thigh and then did a by-pass on his lower ...
  2. Got called "stupid" at work

    I don't have to work with Ms. Bossy anymore! The nurse supervisors moved me to another wing of the home. And the ladies I am working with are all around my age (51). I gave the documentation I typed up to the 3-11 supervisor and the Inservice Super...
  3. Anyone else addicted?

    Oh, yes! I jump from this forum to another one that is more bent to politics and current events. I'm a nurse's aid right now and hope to pass the CNA test in May. But I would like to get into nursing and am taking pre-requisite courses at a local ...

    Hey, I'm north of Pittsburgh too!!! Franklin Park Boro.
  5. Got called "stupid" at work

    Update: After yesterday's incident I had spoken to the Charge Nurse about things and she had suggested that maybe a meeting could be arranged between me and the bossy aid and a supervisor. Today, I called the InService Supervisor who also was our tra...
  6. Got called "stupid" at work

    There's been more than one bad experience with this person. It's at the point where I dread working when she's there. She's catty, lies, and is a control freak. One night, another aid asked me to assist her in cleaning up BM from a hefty resident s...
  7. Got called "stupid" at work

    I don't want to "run away" because of fear. However, I'm 51 and the job alone takes alot of my energy that I'd like to conserve for resident care - not wondering 8 hours a day wondering if this gal will be walking in on me and ordering me to go here...
  8. Got called "stupid" at work

    Ms. Bossy has been there a little over a year. This isn't the first time I've had problems with this particular person. I have another topic on this person I posted back in April called something like "Taking CNA Test This Wednesday" for more infor...
  9. Got called "stupid" at work

    I am a nurse's aid at a LTC facility. I've been here since January. I took 4 weeks of class then was assigned to a hall on the 3-11 shift. The CNA that trained me on this floor is very bossy. I don't work under her anymore but she tends to boss me...
  10. Is it like this everywhere???

    I'm a nurse's aid at a long-term care facility and it's like that here also! I've only been working for 4 months now. The aids that have been there longer are so critical of the newer ones. I used to come home close to tears. I don't want to fall i...
  11. Anyone from Pittsburgh, Western PA?

    Vincentian Nursing Home in North Hills offers training to be a CNA. And you are paid during training. I'm in that now. I had 4 weeks of training in January. The test was in early April and they got the Red Cross to come to Vincentian. I didn't ...
  12. Disability..out of hand?

    Insurance used to cover inpatient and outpatient alchohol and drug rehab. However, what has happened is that people are in and out of the rehabs over and over. I don't blame insurance companies for setting limits. I've known people personally who ...
  13. Disability..out of hand?

    That was how it was in West Virginia and down there we called them "Crazy Checks"!
  14. Universal Health Coverage?

    Good points you raise. From what I am seeing on these threads is that the nursing profession wants respect, less stress on the job (i.e, a normal work week), more money, etc. and then wants the government to take over health care. I'm sorry, but w...
  15. Universal Health Coverage?

    Are you referring to all the taxes we pay or just Federal Withholding? If it's just Federal, when we calculate our taxes, we need to remember State income tax, Social Security, Medicare, sales taxes, real estate, personal property, local income taxes...
