    queen777 replied to Bugaloo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    queen777 replied to Bugaloo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. Tips for Nurses: Dealing With Annoying Coworkers

    queen777 replied to Bugaloo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. If I hate being an CNA, will I hate nursing?

    queen777 replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    More of the good stuff huh? What good stuff? All you are doing is exchanging one responsibility for a whole lot more responsibility. And you will be the one that everyone comes to if something goes...

  9. If I hate being an CNA, will I hate nursing?

    queen777 replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. If I hate being an CNA, will I hate nursing?

    queen777 replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You worked as a team? Lucky you! At my first job, my supervisor told the other nurses NOT to help me because they "were doing my work". I thought to myself, "isn't nursing a team effort?" And I...

  11. I hate it!!!

    queen777 replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    Its not harsh at all when you know the facts of what happened. You would be upset too if you knew a DON put you in a position where you could lose your license and then have the nerve to write you...

    queen777 replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    Excuse me but this was NOT directed at YOU! MASSED. And I guess there is something wrong with working in a nursing home with a SUBACUTE floor too? Which is where I wanted to work when I applied for...

    queen777 replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    You have no idea what I went through. On my last job I was left working an 11-7 shift at a brand new nursing home with a subacute floor and long-term floor all by myself! As I was leaving to go...

  15. I hate it!!!

    queen777 replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    Does make you wonder if they are thinking. Guess they're not. I will never understand why some young girl under 21 and not married:banghead: would want that

  17. I hate it!!!

    queen777 replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    But it is wrong to vent! I got in trouble yesterday by someone on here when I said something oops, can't say! Be careful what you say nurses because you really aren't allowed to say

  18. Nursing homes for fresh RN?

    queen777 replied to firstclass's topic in General Nursing

    queen777 replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing
