    BadAszFannyPak replied to dharmalove's topic in General Nursing

  11. I don't enjoy going to clinical

    BadAszFannyPak replied to sl0352's topic in General Students

    Clinic blows. We are mostly unpaid CNAs who give meds. (Sometimes hours late because we have to wait for our instructors to give out the meds) We also only go to peds and Med-surg for the whole...

    BadAszFannyPak replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. religion and interviews

    BadAszFannyPak replied to CticuRN95's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Taking care of the sick and yada, yada. It's a job and one that needs to flex just as much as you do. I pour myself into my career and expect my career to pour itself into me. If more of us demanded...

    BadAszFannyPak replied to MSTLUV's topic in General Students

  22. Stubborn CNA in ICU

    BadAszFannyPak replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in General Nursing
