  1. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    Cattitude replied to jill48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm sorry you have family members w/addiction, it's hard I know. In addition to being an addict, I also have family with it as well. But BEING the actual addict brings an understanding that is...

  2. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're right, but this is a thread with this subject thats being discussed, I don't think any of us nurses are losing sleep over it. Once again DusktilDawn, good post. I completely agree with it...

    Cattitude replied to Nurse2bducky86's topic in General Nursing

  4. What can unlicensed personnel do?

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you on this. Now I'm sure that there are some very capable UAP that "could" do a lot of things BUT it's too individual. I too would not feel comfortable with all CNA's across the board...

  5. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    Cattitude replied to jill48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    So if you don't think it's a disease then what do you think it is? A choice? Do you think anyone chooses to be an addict? To go through the horrors of what we have? The countless time I have wen...

  6. "problem patient"

    Cattitude replied to Nurse2bducky86's topic in General Nursing

    Just a word of advice. Before posting to any forum, it's really a good thing to lurk for a while to get the flavor and see how things are done. You would have done a LOT of reading that way and maybe...

  9. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, OP here. Let me discuss a bit as to why I used the term selfish. My uncle killed himself when I was 18. He hung himself in his garage and his SIX year old son found him. He KNEW his family would...

  12. What can unlicensed personnel do?

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Basically this was how it was for the CNA's at my old hospital. they could do cares, acccuchecks, vitals. In an emergency they were allowed to suction but never would. Now in home care the aides do...

  13. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    Cattitude replied to jill48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Addiction as a Disease When I first recognized that I had a problem, I thought of addiction as a disease but I said it was a disease of "choice". Ha ha. How I have changed my tune. It truly is a...

    Cattitude replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, defamed, ASSAULTED??? ABUSED? Where did that happen? I must have missed that in the posts . The OP was told by the instructor to go to the Dean if she wished. As far as racial comments, we...

  16. "problem patient"

    Cattitude replied to Nurse2bducky86's topic in General Nursing

    Don't try and be friends. Use limit setting and be firm. That will gain respect. He needs to see that you will follow through as well. Don't waver when you say something, do it. And stay at the...

  17. "problem patient"

    Cattitude replied to Nurse2bducky86's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's clear to others reading this because your user name says NURSE and also you put " Tazzi, she is a tech./CNA. I know with the username it's confusing. Now as far as the...

  18. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    The 20/20 story just chilled me. Apparently, The Bridge directors/producers placed cameras that taped people jumping and then tells their stories with the families help. When I saw those people...

  19. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    Cattitude replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

  21. a question and just a bit of a teeny weeny whine

    Cattitude replied to clemmm78's topic in Home Health

    I never, ever bring my purse into someone's home, EVER. I keep it locked in my trunk at all times. I never have it visible. I keep my license and some $ in my pocket. My nursing bag goes on a...

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ok, I'm really glad that the pride is there and I hope you do well. I really do. I know that I and I'm quite sure that many of the other nurses here are not out on any witch hunts. If standing up for...

  23. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh jeez, between fatigue and blondeness I think my brain is just about gone. I thought that MA's couldn't give injections but then realized that it was CNA's that couldn't.

  25. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
