  1. Too Many Nurses?

    tmiller027 replied to LilStudent's topic in General Nursing

    We have some African nurses at my facility and they are some of the best nurses I've ever seen. I'm glad they're here.

  2. ER last night made me mad!

    tmiller027 replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, they show some good stuff. Even on shows about Residents, you still see a lot of stuff with the nurses. The nurse on this last episode even talked about how the doctor barely sees the patients...

  3. ER last night made me mad!

    tmiller027 replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, I noticed that too. But I also remember him saying his specialty was going to be orthopedics, but he had to do an ER rotation, which was why he was complaining. It was still kinda funny to...

  4. Tell me why you love/hate it.........

    tmiller027 replied to CardioTrans's topic in Emergency

    I start RN school in the fall, and I just have a strong feeling the ER is what I'll like. I'm not sure why, other than I have a law enforcement background, and thats hectic and fast paced as well....

  5. ER last night made me mad!

    tmiller027 replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    Theres a show on discovery Health called Nurses where they follow nurses in different departments. The other night on there, they had a show called "The Residents" but it focused a lot on the nurses....

  7. How do you really feel about 5-star rooms?

    tmiller027 replied to maddiecat's topic in General Nursing

    I have to throw in my 2 cents. While struggling myself, I'm for the free market system. If someone has the money to pay for increased services, then that is their right. Thats why we have a...

  8. Good or Evil?

    tmiller027 replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    Since I'm a secular humanist, I don't believe in spirits, spiritual warfare, souls, gods, angels, demons, etc...if someone were to do that, it would be negligence as someone mentioned above. Sounds...

  9. Religion's Place in Nursing

    tmiller027 replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up baptist, so I've heard all the different tactics. Since I've been on my own, I've drawn my own conclusions and formed my own beliefs based on what I've learned and what I think, not what...

  10. Religion's Place in Nursing

    tmiller027 replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thats fine, except for when they go on and on and on and on...then on some more. lol Next time I might not be so

  11. Good or Evil?

    tmiller027 replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

  12. Good or Evil?

    tmiller027 replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    LOL...Shel, I love your sig line

  13. Religion's Place in Nursing

    tmiller027 replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wish more people would just leave their religion at the door. I am not religious, but I respect other people's beliefs. How ever we have a few at our nursing home who feel its their job to save...

  14. Good or Evil?

    tmiller027 replied to Monist's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNA going to school to be a nurse, and I have to say that I'm pure evil. HAIL

  15. Male L&D nurses

    tmiller027 replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    I was using the racial example to make a point. You stated that you're "old fashioned" and don't think any male has any business in L&D. I bascially was trying to say that "old fashioned" isn't...

  16. Male L&D nurses

    tmiller027 replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    So we have a patient in our facility who is also "old fashioned" and from the south and doesnt' want any black nurses or CNAs caring for him. He doesn't believe blacks have any business in...

  17. I can't believe this!

    tmiller027 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey all...I just have to vent here. I had my CNA state test at our LTC facility today. Should have been no sweat, right? We took the written first, I did just fine on that, then we get to the...

  18. I can't believe this!

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Well apparently not, and I didn't post this to start an arguement, I posted because I was and still am really upset and could have used some support, not criticism. Like I said I did what I was...

  19. I can't believe this!

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I just have to re-take the hands on portion. She said it may be two or three weeks, but I'm going to have to go to another facility to test now. Not to mention the flat out humiliation....

  20. I can't believe this!

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Its not a full transfer, but an assist. The patient is actually moving themselves and the CNA is assisting, but having your arm laced under their arm and holding their wrist, they taught us thats the...

  21. Male L&D nurses

    tmiller027 replied to Cadeyl's topic in General Nursing

    So does this mean that there shouldn't be male

  22. I can't believe this!

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said above, the state guidelines NEVER mention gait belts. Thats why they don't have us use them on the test. They only want us to do EXACTLY what the state guidelines say. I should have...

  23. I can't believe this!

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Gait belts are never mentioned in any curriculum on the state's guidelines. Our facility teaches using them, but a lot of us don't. I for one, don't feel comfortable using it. I dont' feel I have...

  24. Why is it MEN seem to get along better in this field than WOMEN??!!!

    tmiller027 replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The biggest thing I've seen as a male CNA and student has just been attitude. The men where I work, yeah, EVERYONE there gossips and things in the breakroom, but thats gone on at every job I've...

  25. The way people can be just amazes me

    tmiller027 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like one of the nurses I work with. A fellow CNA couldnt find another CNA to help her transfer a patient from her chair to her bed. So she went and asked the nurse if she could just help...
