  2. qualities needed for CNA

    I was a CNA during nursing school. I worked at a LTC (long-term care) facility. Although we did have mostly elderly patients, a few were much younger. Several Downs Syndrome, and one, a young man in...
  3. qualities needed for CNA

    The fact that you ASKED what qualities are needed is enough to make me think you have what it takes! Everyone had great input. Team work, compassion, respect, empathy-all qualities needed when taking...
  4. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    I thought there was a mod assigned to every few threads. There seem to be so many. I have no idea how the whole "mod thing" works. It seems like some threads have mods breaking in constantly, so I...

  7. Recognized by coworkers on AllNurses.com?

    We had a huge scandel at my facility last year. A few nurses posted a tidbit on YOUTUBE. In it they talked about the hospital they worked at, MDs, other nurses...and patients. Admin was leaked this...
  8. Recognized by coworkers on AllNurses.com?

    I visit several other BBs. So many members from here are posting on other sites,non-nursing, under the same screen name. It is incredible to me how info I have/can find out about people. It is layed...
  9. Migraines and work

    I so agree with Trauma. Please do not be so hard on yourself. I have suffered from migraines since age 13. Imitrex is my best friend! Preventatives have never worked for me. It is hard for some people...
  10. What was she thinking???

    Makes me wonder what else she has been up to! It probably isn't the first "indiscretion" she has
  11. Hurricane coming: evacuate or stay and work?

    We lost our home to Hurricane Francis-Utterly numbing to the mind and soul. Six weeks later we were living in a different state. It took six months for our homeowners ins. make payment. Living for...
  12. Lpn Vs Cna

    Very confused here...You have been a member of AN since 2007. You are a nursing student. I read through many of the other posts you have written. You also just posted a thread about LPN bridge to RN....

  14. Is the RN liable for other's actions???????

    CMAs fall directly under the physician-never a
  15. Failed Drug Test!!!!!!

    Yes, that is correct. Unless you have signed documentation in your MDs office etc., stating that a medical facility has been given permission, by you, to leave a detailed message with an answering...
  16. Is this even possible?

    Hmmm, I just do not like what I am feeling as I read this thread. It seems as if you are so in love with him you are willing to take emotional abuse from your husband. "He knows what he's got and does...
  17. Failed Drug Test!!!!!!

    I have suffered from migraines since I was 13. I have been to several "headache clinics" where I was a pt. for a month at a time, done bio-feedback, been on more meds than I can remember (my freshman...
  18. Yes, another "MA calls self nurse" posting..sorry

    I think I posted this on another "MA" thread. In the hospital clinic I work in we do employ several MAs. I once had a patient who requested that the CMA do the procedure I was about to perform because...
  19. Just got BA...is being a CNA "below" me?

    The person the OP is speaking of is like sooo many with the same attitude in the general public. ............They think all nurses do is pass out a few pills, fluff pillows and say, "Yes,...
  20. Doctor's office and "nurses"

    I work with several CMAs in my hospital clinic. Hiring CMAs is new to this facility. I respect the people I work with- no matter their credential. Once again I give credit to Pagan for clarifying the...
  21. Doctor's office and "nurses"

    I always find these MA threads so interesting. I work in a clinic with several nurse practitioners and physicians assistants. Please note-not one of them hold a doctorate. But a few refer to...
  22. does age REALLY matter?

    So, you have been married since you were 16, started nursing school before 19 and didn't pass the first time around because you were not prepared for the demand of nursing school. Sounds to me like...
  23. does age REALLY matter?

    What is this..."Logan's Run"? The world is comprised of brilliant persons; regardless of sex, sexual orientation, color, economic standing, and of course age. This is what makes the world go 'round....
  24. does age REALLY matter?

    Wow, maybe someone should let John McCain know that at age 70 he is thought of as "non-productive". To the OP- please take the time to read current data on the median age in the U.S. work-force. As a...
  25. What did you tell your Employee Health Nurse?

    What? Have not had to do this. What other kinds of info do they want? Is this everyone who is employed by the hospital..even the
