It's so true. I don't think it's thinking like a princess to expect that RNs not do CNA work. RNs just cannot do it all and do it well. When I worked on med-surg (left that in 2012) there were 30 pts. and we were lucky to have even one CNA. I felt li...
Wow, I shouldn't be shocked at this I guess, but I am shocked! How unprofessional and I can't believe that anyone could get by w/ this. My kids and I were at a museum in DC last summer and someone had one. I think it is ridiculous and the people that...
I applied w/ them and they called tonight. I took the online test and passed it. They said if I passed the test, to expect to hear from them mid-Dec. Fingers crossed. Thanks, again!
Thank you! I wrote you a PM but it didn't get sent because I don't post enough on this board, apparently. I will check that company out. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me!

castlegates, I'm sorry. I meant to quote the person talking about germs! I think it was my kitty walking across my laptop that made me quote you instead. :heartbeat
I think the nurses who are snooty to you....well, it says a lot more about THEM, rather than you. Try and remember that, like the last poster said. There are people like that every where you go. Try to avoid those people-just don't waste your preciou...
We have charge nurses, as well. They usually man the desk and take a lighter load of patients. They sign off on MD orders and deal w/ the staffing office, etc.
Hi. I have been a nurse for 25 yrs. but have just gone to medsurg after being at a desk job for 12+ yrs. so I don't really have any advice cuz I'm in the same boat. I'm in my 5th week of orientation. I last worked in a hospital in '96. BUT, I will sa...
