  1. What would you have said to this CNA

    jollydogg_RN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I took a few minutes and thought of a way to respond to this. Here it goes, will try my best. You talk of CNA doing the "mindless" tasks. Well, I'm extremely sorry you feel this way, but the tasks are...

  2. How bad is it?

    jollydogg_RN replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad on a Med/Surg floor, and we have about 4-5 nurses from the Philipines. 4 of them are older, and one is a new grad. Im sure you'll be able to find something. We have plenty of philipino...

  3. What would you have said to this CNA

    jollydogg_RN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    if someone said all that to me, that would annoy me more than someone just demanding something from me honestly. i didnt say you had to go over the top with asking someone to do something for you, but...

  4. Would like to get some feedback on this NCLEX question

  5. What would you have said to this CNA

    jollydogg_RN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i know... just on orientation for my first week, and i see some of the newer (4-8months new) nurses working and make statements at 2pm like "holy %^$#.... its already 2pm... i haven even drank/eaten...

  6. What would you have said to this CNA

    jollydogg_RN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    and i never said that you said you agreed with the situation. i said theres no reason to appeal to to both sides when one side is clearly, clearly, CLEARLY out of line. how did the RN put herself in a...

  8. What would you have said to this CNA

    jollydogg_RN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is actually where I kind of disagree. This doesn't foster or promote teamwork in my opinion. You should always ask someone to do something for them, not just TELL them. I don't think you'd be...

  9. Stick with nursing or not?

    jollydogg_RN replied to MsLEE2121's topic in General Nursing

    This is just my opinion. I just graduated with my ASN, and am enrolled into an RN-BSN program at the moment. I feel that somehow, somewhere, someway you were motivated to go to the BSN program. You...

  10. What would you have said to this CNA

    jollydogg_RN replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    you have to appeal to both sides? why?? because you're a CNA? there should have been NO circumstance where the CNA should have reacted like that. NEVER. EVER. first of all, the RN is responsbile for...
