Mist tents for pedi cystic, steam sterilizing syringes, burning ur fingers on chemical"clinitest", for urine sugar, using sugar in large decubs, (

This supposedly happened around L.A. in the early part of my nursing experiences, early 1970's. An elderly LOL, in a SNF, trying to "help" had been brushing patients dentures for them. However, she had collected ALL the patients dentures & what happened after that is still a mystery!

Before plastic tubing , they used red rubber tubing , for everything! .

I was a student in 1973! We HAD to wear caps, white hose & clinic "nursing " shoes. I remember carring metal "tubexes," so we could find one,for "htpos", glass meniscus cups, for titrating all your meds, ekg's that burned your fingers, if the needle burned the paper, & got stuck, AND bedsore/ decubitus treatment of "sugar" put directly into the wound , with a heat lamp, apparently it would not grow some bacteria, I don't remember, BUT it did work! I am 58 yrs. old. Go OLD nurses!

Perhaps you have OCD. Easily treated with meds. The meds aren't problematic, either.

That is ILLEGAL in Calif. I would highly reccommend calling , or emailing the Board of Registered Nursing , in Sacramento. I did just this, & there was no retailition, but that m.a. never did it again. Thanks for standing in the gap for our PROFESSION.

You are soooooo right. I can't believe how some, not all of them act. Especially the uap's .(unlicensed assistive personel). Patients aren't being helped as they should be. My daughter, an ER nurse , was told by the manager he couldn't believe what a work ethic she had! Guess this old ?(seasoned ) RN did something right!

I was proud to be an LVN for 5 yrs. , while I worked my way thru RN program. I worked full time while going to LVN school& most of our instructors were very supportive. Then when in c/c RN program, one instructor was soooooo hostile , she went out of her way to belittle, flunk, & criticize the LVN /RN students.They knew they held our future employability in their hands. By the way, when she retired, no one came to her "tea".I was offered a job to teach LVN's which I'd love to do, BUT @ 1/2 of my current salary. I just can't . It's a double edged sword. Keep on , we NEED each other!

I have always found that all prejudice is based in ignorance. Do you know all 34.5 million people in Calif. ? I'm sure there are wonderful people in Philly., though I've never met ANY of them. Also , learn how to spell,& type, as you will need this to succeed in nursing school. Thanks, I feel better.
