   junebride replied to junebride's topic in General Nursing

   I have to say how much I adore you all for these often hilarious replies. What has actually become more clear to me is how unsupported we are by management and administration. We're a means to an end....

   junebride replied to craigm's topic in General Nursing

   I am so glad that I moved to Waukesha County. Everything that you have all said about MATC (Milwaukee) covers everything that I hated and all that is seriously wrong with that school. Absolutely no...

   junebride replied to *Andrea*'s topic in General Nursing

   I TOTALLY agree with the previous poster about Marcus uniforms. They have probably the best and largest selection you'll find. I also wear the cherokee brand pants; I'm 5'9" but have REALLY long legs...

   I appreciate all the responses from my male counterparts. What I really wanted from the original posting was honest feedback about this, and I got it. I saw that many of you were not very happy about...

7. some younger male nurses.....

   junebride posted a topic in Men in Nursing

   I can say I have nothing but love for the older male nurses (I mean over 30) that I work with. That said, the younger ones have got to be the most apathetic, jerky people I have ever had to deal with....

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

   Thank you, coolpeach. I do not have an aversion to body fluids at all, in fact in previous jobs my coworkers would make fun of me for being "the boil whisperer". ( I actually love really gross skin...

11. New CNA feeling pretty fed up.

    junebride posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I trained in LTC this week, and I hate it. Absolutely hate it. The reason I got into this field (I'm an RN student) is to care for and help people, but I spend every bit of my time rushing like crazy...
