1. Calling in for no sleep

   BroomQueen replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

   That's what I was thinking. She got off work Saturday 330am and doesn't have to be back at work until Monday 7am, there's 15 1/2 hrs in between getting off shift and getting back on, MORE than enough time..

2. Was I at fault? the nurse embarrassed me in front of others.

   BroomQueen replied to crunchytaco's topic in Relations

   Are you a new CNA? I would think you'd be used to redicule from high and mighty nurses by now LOL. I'm an LPN now but I was a CNA for 14 years prior. When I was a CNA I've come across the same thing by a nurse who thought he was too good to answer ca...

5. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

   BroomQueen replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

9. Working nights-maybe!

   BroomQueen replied to twinduff's topic in General Nursing

   I agree, I worked night shift for 12 yrs as a cna and I've been a nurse for 6 months and stayed on 11-7. I have an 8 yr old and it's always been the best shift. I work when he's home asleep and I sleep while he's at school. It was a little more drain...

10. Orientation for newly-minted grad

    BroomQueen replied to yonalinz's topic in General Nursing

    From your post it sounds like they hired you, let you go through orientation, then let you go because you were not "fast enough" and only gave you 8 days orientation as a new grad? What shift were you working and what specific areas did you find that...
