Section8UpX68WM6 CNA, LVN, EMT-B

Bingo!

Here's my take. I've worked healthcare for 27 years. I couldn't care less what people think. I've got skills and experience in the military, LTC, major city hospitals, visiting patients in their homes, and office nursing some RNs (especially new grad...

Just working healthcare will burn you out...period. I got burnt out as a CNA, tele/monitor tech, and LVN in long term care. Even as an LVN "office nurse" case manager, there are days you feel that especially if you can't find a facility for your pat...

I got placed in that type of position a long with visiting patients in their homes (under NPs and MDs) with the HMO/Company I worked for(I did blood draws, vitals, assessments, and etc in pt homes). Had to learn about Medicare, Medicaid, private pay,...

?? I've got a tote bag that has my former company logo all over it.

Here's another long time nurse that can acknowledge that BULLYING does occur.

I took a couple of those courses (FEMA). Interesting and dry subject at the same time. But it all makes sense if you are into disaster preparedness. The terrorism subjects are the scary ones to read about. Very eye opening. You'll never look at the s...

"My children (21, 16, 16) seem to take advantage of my cognitive problems and confusion but they are pretty overprotective of me as well." The *expletive* ? LOL So how much cash do you still have in your purse? Any weird charges in your credit cards?...

*beep* A!!!! Hoooooah!

Do you guys also iron them after washing and drying them? I remember years ago, I showed up to work with wrinkly scrubs. A doctor chewed me out for that and I never showed up for work ever again without ironed scrubs LOL. I'm ex-military, we iron our...

I read ya. But man, some of these PROFESSIONALS are bordering on criminal acts (felony)than just ticky tacky mild personal beefs. Correction, what they did was a criminal act.

The worse bullying besides being threatened to be killed or "assassinated" by psycho managers or a coworker *cough* is the gossiping and character assassination. Sweet Jesus. I remember I was one week or two from going on my annual vacation back in ...

I agree with you. Remember this: https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/health-and-medicine/article207364464.html

When somebody used to read our diary? I miss the 1980s lol. A lot of angry older sisters out there. Haha. Hopefully they've forgiven family members for that. But yes, it's a snitch Stazi/Gestapo culture we have now at work and outside it. Not only w...

This should be changed in the future to "how often do you take your 3 piece suit to the dry cleaners as a nurse"?

I heard in Texas, people can carry in churches now.

From people that are the true bullies? Let me share a couple of "bullying" stories. Back in 2009(?), I was working for a university and I witnessed the floor manager pat a floor nurse (like how you would pat a golden retriever) in the head pretty har...

In a combat support hospital, you better believe medics and LVNs will be packing *wink* *wink*...God, I miss locking and loading a rifle, SPORTS, function checks, cleaning and putting back a rifle together (except hand guards) and unloading a magazin...

I'm an LVN and after decades of hearing about LVNs vs RNs and what's a true nurse blah blah...who cares. Also include that LVNs are getting phased out too BS. In the end, we are all on the same side along with the doctors, aides, assistants, and nurs...

Ha. I like how you have quotes on the word bullying like it doesn't occur. Buddy, just a year ago, I was orientating in this clinic and one of the senior LVNs at this clinic was talking crap on how she was going to set me up. Right, I'm kwaaazy and I...

Helped a mental health patient escape? Hmmm.....sounds like a horror movie like this one: Funny how an employee of 20 years with the same organization is fired from his or her job. A lot of that going around *cough* *cough*

I know, right? The first replies weren't very nice to the deceased. Every nurse knows bullying occurs at the workplace. EVERYBODY! Those that say it doesn't happen are in denial, naive(just graduated), sweep it under the carpet, keep their heads down...

LOL. I used to work med surg as a CNA and I was stoked when ever the charged nurse on the shift stuck me as a sitter on a patient. A break from 8 assigned patients doing ADLs, answering call lights, vital signs Q4, blood sugar checks, blood draws, am...

68WM6 = Army medic and LPN. I'm a military veteran. 8up or Ate up is the same as "FUBAR" Section 8, well, you work in healthcare for over 25+ years and something has to give lol.

Personally, I'd keep it active and take CEs and renew it per your state's policy. And keep reading them nursing articles etc.
