so........let me understand this......having a license is a privilege...........so what does that have to do with trying to force HCW into getting the flu shot.........so,that gives the goverment,federal,state.......the right to force us to take a va...

What do you think about getting a tb skin test every 3 months? This hospital I have just started, give there ER a tb skin test every 3 months. I think it crazy! Knowing what's in it .

I have been in the field for 30 years........I have never seen anything like this before........I will quit any job, any time, if I would be force to take something I don't want. This new hospital I just started in NC......Makes the ER staff have a P...

I have been in the field for 30 years......working in the ER..........this new hospital I started out in.....requires tb skin test every 3 months.......is it safe to do this that often?

I have a question..........I just started at a new hospital here in NC......I will be working in the ER.........They give TB skin test every 3 months......I have never heard of this before!! I have worked in many ERs, some do twice a year and some do...

Can someone tell me......I was told that the hospital I work for has pemission by the state of NC......that working in the ER, they don't have to give you lunch or breaks.....that labor laws don't apply to ER's...that they can make you work the whole...

I agree, you should not go to work sick! However, where I work,in the ER. We are only allow 3 sick days a year....and if you come to work sick and leave before 1pm or 1am , it counts as an absent........and if you leave after 1pm or 1am its counts as...

Our hospital only allows 3 sick days a year.......get this........I had a allergy reaction to some medication I was taking while working. I was sent home around 10pm, it was counted as an absent....thats right! if you leave before 1p or 1a, depending...

Who can feel sorry for him! because he is from a different culture? Now your saying........he's misunderstood! What! In Nigera, they run after married women? LOL He knows the rules.........but, his co-worker said it!.......He's a women chaser"! He go...

No CNA training does not prepare you for nursing school..............but it will help you once you become a nurse......because, A CNA knows the basic skills.....making beds....vitals,etc. and they don't teach that in school.....I can't tell you how m...

You got that Right! I have been in the field for almost 30 years......Computer charting is no better! Still too much doc. on the screen.......And its like that no matter where you go in the hospital........The stress level is very high in this field....

First of all......that violates HIPPA, by this CNA giving any information to a family member on the phone or in person about a patient in the hospital, Even if they are friends....The wife should be calling the nurse on his case for information. I th...

Good for You!!

Oh!! We have sent it to the top management here and like I said all the doctors agree with us and think this isn't right at all[as they drink in front of us and do NOTHING to help]! Got us nowhere. I have worked in many hospitals, and drinking at the...

I think you are doing the right thing. Stand your ground with her! I use to work in a very tough trauma hospital. We had CNAs like this all over the place. I stood my ground, even took it to the managers. You see, I am the type of worker that will he...

Thanks, I do smile and when I am at work I just let it roll off my back. You have to, or you just won't make it in this business. Its just nice to have a forum like this to speak your mind and get other peoples input.

and what are we being protected from? but its okay for the patient's food to be at the nurses station, you know, sometimes the food is left there for awhile. but its okay to drink in the med room, when another nurse might be primeing a line for blo...

See, I don't understand this rule of not drinking at your work station, because they say its a infection control issue. Where is the data to back this up with?. I would like to read it. I see it as more of a health risk to us in the medical field, b...

Sounds like the places I use to work at. Everyone was pretty laid back, I come here and OMG!! Never seen anything like this! I know its not this bad elsewhere.

I have a bad back and was having a great deal of hip pain. The shoes I was wearing were New Balance. I then got a pair of Crocs, and All my pain has gone away. And to keep from tripping on them, I put on shoe covers and I feel like I am walking on a...

I don't see a problem with bottle water with a cap on it at all!! That is my choice of drink for work, and for most. even the sport bottles are fine too! We barely have the time to go pee, now we barely have the time to drink! I don't believe this i...

I would be happy to have some water! You are lucky to have that.

Isn't water a drink? We can't even have that. So, you are saying the joint comminssion said it is okay to have water only at the nurses station? Don't get me wrong here. I understand and agree why we shouldn't eat or drink in patient areas. But what ...

I hear ya! Come to think of it, I haven't seen any holiday snacks or food here. For a top 100 hospital, its very cold. I am not very happy here, moved from Florida to NC 6 months ago. It seems to be more of a Power things with this no drinks at your ...

Don't get me wrong on this issue about drinking at the nurse's station. There are pro and cons to this, spills etc. And I understand that, But when your Team leaders, managers, directors and doctor break the rules And your managers come in at 4am to ...
