On the same note, we have nurses who think that because they dont' see us right in front of them (because we're in a patients room giving care) that we're not doign anything. One even said to me "You...
Not to start a flame war here, but there are a lot of us CNAs who take a LOT of pride in our work and work our butts off. I've had a few nurses that could use an attitude adjustment too. A few weeks...

When I worked in Law enforcement it was the same way, especially when I worked for the county jail. Evenings complained that days left the place a mess and didn't get hardly anyone booked in....
there is a lot of negativity all across those boards I noticed. What really shocked me was on discussion about nurses going to med school, a lot of them had nothing but negative things to say about...

I'm a CNA and I've been called "nurse" several times. In my facility, I think some family members just don't know the difference. I do my best to explain things to them. Because I'm male, a few...
It shouldn't be that hard, though I failed my CNA test because the tester likes to pick pick pick, and I still failed even though I did exactly what I was trained to
I don't know about Karma, but I do believe what goes around comes around. At my old job at the PD, our asst. chief is a bitter old man who has numerous badges under his belt (people who he's had...
I'm a bit angry. For the last few months, I've been giving blood at our local blood bank. You can only donate once every 60 days, so I'd donated twice so far this year. Did it in Feb. with no...
Well, I wrote a letter to the president of the blood bank. I emailed a copy of it to the local TV station that does the spots for them. I told them that I don't expect a story to be done, but they...
Yes but anymore, its the only way to get someone's attention. An angry letter from a donor, they can toss in the trash. A write up in the paper, they have to address. Their blood supply obviously...
Thanks for the support everyone. I talked to my Doc's nurse this morning. Now the blood bank is telling them that they cant' send them my results unless I sign a waiver, but the letter they sent...

A friend of mine called in once because she had a bad case of pink eye. Not only did they tell her she should come in anyway, but they told her that its her own fault because she obviously doesn't...
thank you. I'm pretty sure its nothing, but I just want to get it cleared up. This isn't the kind of thing you want to have doubts about. This is just not the way to treat
I don't think they're driving anyone's salaries down. As far as I know, they make just as much as the other RNs there. I just didn't appreciate your little statue of liberty analogy that they sat...
