I have been a MA for 16 years and I never once passed myself off as a RN. I think the title of nurse is taken lightly and MA's and CNA's really do think they are. Now that I am a RN, I have truly earned that title. I use to work with a girl who would...

Thanks for the 2 comments. I forgot to mention, this patient has been on my floor since May 2010 and he is a frequent flyer, so every nurse on my floor has had the pleasure of caring for this patient

I already work in a hospital, so my questions are why this particular floor or why do you want to work for this hospital

1st off let me just say that NURSE KNUCKLE HEAD was way out of line for her rude comments and infront of other people. It seems to me that some people of other cultures (not all people) are very insentitive to our hair styles. Alot of my friends are ...
