Katie, I completely disagree. Nurses post on this board constantly about lack of respect for their profession. Well... how about NOT wearing your kids' pajamas to work then?

Scrub tops - there's an issue that's gotten totally out of control. In what other profession do adults go to work wearing cartoon figures plastered all over their bodies?

I'm all about the Skecher Shape ups now! These shoes have saved my back and my feet. Money well spent.

Working in a clinic, several docs have hooked up with nurses and even lost their jobs over it. One doc has the occasional daliance with a secretary or a pt, gets his hand slapped and back in business! Sadly, I have no personal experience to speak o...

Skecher Shape-ups! They saved my feet!

sounds more like a candidate for Medical school instead.

A "grater tittle"??? Is that something you use in the kitchen??? Ah, just kidding! MA's are not LPN's. MA's do not supervise LPN's. MA's are not equal to LPN's. LPN's have MUCH more training and education than MA's. LPN's have a license, MA's...

Why does there have to be a "closet"??

I'm atheist, I'm out, and I'm proud! I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR IMAGINARY GOD!!! What's so hard about that?

I love the Onion! I LOL'd :)

FEET! ugh, those nasty, thick, crusty, yellow toenails.. I can handle anything but feet! Makes me gag just thinking of it.

Danskos are great! They have the arch support that I need and they make me taller! :)

Same ole song and dance... No, CMA's are not nurses and should not be called nurses. *YAWN* Why is this a recurring theme?? Why does it ruffle your feathers so? Yes, you've earned your title! No, not all CMA's want to be nurses. No, my badge...

People everywhere have been cooking with bare hands since the beginning of time.

While I completely empathize with you and your complaint about the types who frequent the ER, I take umbrage at your disparaging remarks in regard to FP physicians. Bottom of their class? Do you blame FP for the overload in the ER?

The reality is that a fast food eatery is not a sterile environment and to compare your favorite SubSandwich place with a hospital is ridiculous. Yes, they should wash their hands more often, shouldn't everyone? Eating fast food anywhere is always ...

Once a year... end of Dec or sometime in Jan. I'm expecting it any day now!

Good grief! Why must we be ashamed of migraines?? Because it's mostly a female affliction? If more men got migraines the world would shut down while they recovered. Seriously! You all know it! I've gotten migraines since high school. I've tried ...

"Putting the emphasis on "licensed" tells me you consider being "licensed" not a big deal? It is a big deal to those of us who have one :)" The fact that you all consider your license sacred is abundantly clear. We lowly MA's get it. I do respect you...

I'm quite proud of who I am and what I do.. if you don't know that by now you should go back and read my previous posts. I refered to MA's as "they" because I was referring to the group of MA's and not just myself. And yes, nurses are taught critic...

"even give injections"... really? You do realize that family members are taught to give injections, right? Patients have even been taught to inject themselves... I know MA's are not "licensed" but they can be taught to give injections.. it's been o...

Who has an attitude?? From what I've seen it's YOU who has the attitude! There are many "non-nurses" here who post.. are you going to call out the paramedics? the students? the aides? the lay people who are thinking about nursing?... seriously.. is...

the MA works under the Physician, bottom line. Nurses are not responsible.. if you have MA's working under you and you don't like it then speak up! or shut up and quit yer ********!

Oh you don't have to "say" it. It's all right here in the forum.

"Inflate the egos of non-licensed persons"?? So tell me, does the ego come with the license?
