Are you serious right now? You walked right out of work without telling anybody or getting the ok k? You didn't get anyone to cover your patients?! You should lose your license. You're unreliable. And yes, some of do have a license.

Um....we still use pagers in my hospital. On my floor we carry them every shift. No voicesaras (sp?)for us on the med floors. I've been at my hospital 18 years, we've always had the them.

I'm in WA state, my hospital has all of that equipment to help lift & transfer pts too. Plus a few rooms have ceiling lifts- even double lifts! ( I used to do agency nursing and every hospital I went to had all of that equipment as well) I hope y...

Well I am. We put armbands on and even a sign up in the room. I teach every CNA I train to do the same things. Common sense. You did the right thing OP.

Maybe it was all about timing. I'm glad the second time around worked out good for you! Oh brother, as if you would use their stamp machine haha!

There is nothing wrong with not being an RN. I love it my job. I never had a desire to get my RN. You do what works for your life. It's not worth being miserable every day.

This is amazing advice! I've been in nursing over 20 years& have trained many ppl. You are a preceptors dream! I can tell you are an awesome CNA! OP, I think you should have a talk with the co-worker you're talking about. Talk to her first before...

9 pts on MedSurg! Omg, what state are you in? That's just insane, you my friend are a nursing rock star for even attempting to do everything for 9 (!!) MedSurg pts! I hope you have good CNAs to help you out. ( I would help you big-time) no wonder you...

Congratulations! And welcome to amazing, brutal,rewarding, exciting feild of nursing! You will do great things! Again, congrats!

The gift card you picked out is a good gift

:inlove:26 years. 26 years of helping thousands of patients in every situation imaginable. I've worked Psych, Drug& Alcohol Recovery,Oncology, MedSurg,Hospice, Mother/Baby, NICU, ICU, PCU, Emergency Room. I've done CPR more times than I can even ...

Are you talking about "donning"? Donning on and off PPE, right? I'm pretty surprised you got kicked out of the entire program for something so simple. Is there more to the story? The class should be more of a teaching/learning environment. Regardless...

Some nights if we are short on nurses the charge will take 3 patients. Plus they do all of the charge duties. No HUC of course.

A task for a CNA?! No, I'm busy taking care of 12 patients. I'll strip the bed and gather the trash IF I have time, but ANYONE can clean a room. CNAs are too busy providing patient care to be housekeepers.

Oh, I just meant I was never a "fall guy" just because I was angency. That doesn't mean it won't happen to someone else though. I just didn't agree with the other post that said agency gets blamed when something goes wrong. That's all, hope you didn'...

Please work as a CNA before you become a nurse. The best nurses I've ever worked with started out as aides. You will understand what we go through and how hard our part of the job is. Enjoy your nursing journey!

Wow! I wonder where those nurses that have time to get on Facebook work?! Because during my 12hr shifts I take the breaks I'm entitled to by law, but I sure as hell don't have time to play on a computer! Welcome to nursing, where yes, there will be s...

Can the pt use a bedpan? IDK just trying to figure out a safe solution for all.

I did agency for 6 years and never had any type of problem anywhere.

I really take offense to you saying CNA work is grunt work. I'm an MA too, I make more money an hour at my CNA hospital job, I'm proud of how hard I work. Grunt work.... how rude.

Oh yeah..... That's disgusting too.

Your co-worker doesn't wear gloves when coming into contact with bodily fluids? Please tell me you talked to this person about proper hand hygiene and PPE. That's just disgusting and this person is spreading germs all over the place.

I work 12 hr Nights, I'm sure there's coffee pumping through my veins. Let somebody tell me coffee is bad for me, especially on my Monday heehee!

She lit that place up like the 4 the of July....I LOVE THAT! I'm so glad you took your own BS. Boo hiss to the lying nurse!
