    What sort of unit do you work in, and what is it like?

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to LilaDavis's topic in Psychiatric

    Our psych unit is about the same. Except only electric razors can be checked out and used. No strings on hoodies and no belts. No glass cups, all cutlery must be counted after meals. That type of...

    CNA help!

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to nursesp83's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I couldn't have said it better! Maybe make a plan with the CNA to call you at a certain time of the day to report all of her concerns unless she has a legit

    falling asleep during nightshift

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked night shift for 25 years now. And I understand how hard it is to work nights and not sleep. But if you are sleeping at anytime except on your lunch break then get off nights and go back to...

    Delegating to PCAs

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to Tboland88's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's a negative way to look at it. Try asking a co-worker nicely for what you would like them to do instead of delegating it. It shouldn't matter anyone's age or title, we are the patients...

    My all-nursing unit is considering hiring PCTs, looking for advice.

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to sam95UAB's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It's not your job to supervise techs. We are your coworkers not your employees. You're wondering wether or not you want extra help on your floor? That's really easy- of course! Teamwork makes the...

    Difference between CNA & LPN

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to FarFrom's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't think for a minute that just because you're an LPN that you don't have to change diapers. Everybody on staff does it, even my manager! As a CNA I do just about everything except start IV's,...

    New nurse bullied by other new nurses?

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to sophiemarie_1212's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That CNA should have helped you regardless! There's no way I would ever let another employee tell me not to help someone. We are all adults! What a crappy, hostile, toxic work environment for

    Did any body else suffer a mental break down during school?

    InScrubs_Wyoming307 replied to mindiianajones's topic in Health, Stress Management
