  1. So upset got passed for charge

    I'm sorry that you are going through it, but trust me, it's no bed of roses being a CN. I too think that this is a blessing is disguise. You can keep the hours that you have chosen and spend your...
  2. :vlin:Well, that's your opinion. Like I stated earlier, a 'C' is still a 'C'! If a student was out all night partying with Uncle Frank and gets 79% on the exam the next day OR of if a student was up...
  3. I never knew this! Could you please post the study/link where these points were taken from? I would love to show this to some of the Nursing instructors that bring their students through the Hospital...
  4. Ok. Am I reading this correctly? You are stating that students who have kids/husband/job/ingrown toenail/etc should be commended for their "C"? They are somehow excused for not knowing the material...
  5. so when is it wrong to stand for unfairness...

    I'm going to be judgmental. People walking in late (no matter how quiet they think they are) is disruptive. Just to give you a heads up...using your kid as an 'excuse' for being late is never going to...
  6. Would you get treated at the hospital where you work?

    I would, but the weird thing is, I prefer getting all of my medical care through our 'rival' Hospital, UCLA. I just seem to have had better luck with the MDs there. Plus, the out-clinic that I use has...
  7. Bring the quackery on. When I first started Nursing, I worked in a Nursing home. We would admit patient after patient and these people were completely out of control. Then the psychotropic regime was...
  8. Professor accusing me of abuse through email !!!

    Ugh, modern technology can be such a hinderance and so confusing at times. Like the above poster stated..stay calm! I know it is hard, but stick to the facts. Explain the situation is a concise...
  9. Laser Tattoo Removal

    I don't have any tattoos, but many of the people I work with do. Two coworkers (that I am aware of) are going through the process of having some of their tattoos removed. One stated that it hurt, but...
  10. Tasting blood....Can this be true?

    Great response. I was wondering how cozy some people were getting w/ those bedpans. LOL! The only thing I could think of was this: The iron atoms in blood do give fresh blood a smell and can even...
  11. Mom suffocates child, revives w/ CPR, then suffocates again...

    This is so horrible and tragic. Then you have this one: Father Accused Of Eating Child's Eyes Out ...............and people think that that people who choose not to have children are nuts....
  12. i failed out of nursing school...now what

    Be careful with those patients stating, "You're the bestest CNA and I only want you 'cause CNA Groucho does (this that and the other thing)". This is a very common stunt of very manipulative patients....
  13. constantly sick ever since I started working

    This crossed my mind as well. Cleansers, latex, food that you allergic too being cooked and giving off fumes, etc. I know a Nurse who had an anaphylactic reaction to latex. She thought she was sick...
  14. Threatened by Patient Family

    Healthcare facilities need to stop catering to families, now! Hospitals are there for the patients. I understand that families are important for a patient, but really, enough is enough. Hospital...
  15. Help allnurses reach its Twitter goal

    Will do! I am following so many amazing and interesting people...always room for one
  16. 100 Best Twitter Feeds for Nurse

    Thanks for posting the list! I'll follow a few and see how I like them. I usually drop the vast majority of people because I find their tweets so incredibly
  17. I am really sorry that you are having to experience this. The fear and drama created over things that could be resolved easily and quietly, is honestly, one (of many) things I HATE about Nursing. I...
  18. How do you put a nurse like this in her place?

    Personally, as irritating and annoying as these people can be, I wouldn't say a mean word to her. Just thank her for assisting you. Look how much work she is creating for herself and by doing this,...
  19. Negative Threads

    People vent when there are problems. I think being able to vent is very healthy and normal! Not talking about negative experiences and situations seems very deleterious and destructive to me....
  20. Of Kittens and Computers

    What a nice ending to a story (that I was almost scared to finish...)! Poor little kitty. I just don't understand animal cruelty at all. I don't care what kind of animal it is......nothing deserves...
  21. Anyone have experience with Lap Band Surgery?

    My Aunt had the lap-band procedure several months ago. She has been morbidly obese for 25+ years. (I've mentioned her in other threads). It was an outpatient procedure and she reported relatively...
  22. Not letting my kid go to school

    I'm all for schools closing...just please, oh, please.....keep the kids HOME! These schools close and what are the kids doing? They are mingling in the community where anyone could have it....
  23. Lunch breaks and required phones

    The period generally must be at least 30 minutes. The employee must be completely relieved of his/her duties for the purpose of eating a regular meal. The employee must be allowed to leave his or...
  24. Reminds me of the Southpark episode, CHICKENPOX: The boys get angry and seek revenge when they discover that their parents orchestrated a sleepover at Kenny's house so that they could all get...
  25. tired of the abuse

    Personally, I would talk to a lawyer about this. Present the document that they make employees sign, explain how others are not getting their breaks/meals, (including yourself, until you got a MD...
