those are all the same major issues that the rn's complain about at our workplace! one poor nurse was broken out in hives (after dealing with the manager) when she left after work the other day. and, the poor woman has to worry about something she do...

our manager (except she has red hair) our manager is like a nervous, vicious poodle. there is a book on training vicious poodles to change their behavior. one of the nurses at work said she might buy it and apply some of the retraining principles to ...

Please don't show up for YOUR appt. to see the Dr. & expect to bring your whole !#$% family & friends into the exam room when YOU are being called to come back to the exam room! WTH?!?

This pretty much sums up what happened after de-institutionalization:

If you're looking to train further in your career, I'd suggest the LTC. If you're happy with being a CNA II, I'd say go with Duke University Hospital. I'm a CNA II (second career) & have never worked in LTC, only hospitals & now public healt...

MossyOakGirl, are you working 3 straight 12's? I did that for quite awhile, but found out stretching days in between made a difference for me.

:yeahthat: :roll

don't just wait and contemplate.. go for it!!

Maybe what she really meant to say is she carries the sharps to the hazardous waste room?

It does seem like there are more of 'em walking around outside than what should be locked up on the inside! :chuckle
