  1. What do your CNAs do ?

    inland18mempire replied to poppy101's topic in General Nursing

    Where I'm working as a nurse now they do all the typical CNA things - baths, linens, ADL, food/drinks, and one set of vitals. I'm lucky if they do these things, though. I usually catch them in the...

  2. Eating before clinicals

    inland18mempire replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Students

    i'm going to be a downer here. but when you start working as a real nurse, you'll have to go several hours without eating a thing. just think of this as a training session. you'll feel starved in the...

  3. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    inland18mempire replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, please don't hate me folks. I pretty much entered nursing school as an "Ok, I'll try that" deal. Coming out of high school I had no idea what I wanted to do. Being a nurse never even crossed my...

  4. your hospital union and "scare tactics"

    inland18mempire posted a topic in General Nursing

    To all nurses that work in hospitals that have unions - is your union leader a bit of a nut job that's over the top, like mine? I ask this because mine seems a little whacky and abrasive. The other...

  5. Can an employer penalize you for calling-in due to illness?

    inland18mempire replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    We have a union and in our contract it addresses our sick policy. We are allowed 2 sick days per quarter. There are 4 quarters in a year. That totals 8 sick days per year. Now, our union contract says...

  6. The Smell of Death!?

    inland18mempire replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    hmmm... i've only had a few patients die on me (which were expected) and i've never noticed a smell about them. odd! i'll have to sniff more closely next time. just kidding. are you guys ever bothered...

  7. One Wish Granted

    inland18mempire replied to FLAlleycat's topic in General Nursing

    i agree that administration should do bedside care once in a while to get a dose of reality. that way, they'll see how ridiculous some of their demands are. for example, spending like 10 minutes...

  8. Nurses, where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?

    inland18mempire replied to learning08's topic in General Nursing

    i'm hoping that i win the lottery (hopefully a very large sum so that something remains after all of the taxes) and quit nursing altogether. it's so funny because in nursing school (which has been 1...

  9. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    inland18mempire replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a nurse that says "orienTAted". It is so darn funny! We all giggle. We asked her why she says orientated and not oriented, and she says she has been saying it for years and she's too old...

  10. ANA... Should I continue being a member?

    inland18mempire replied to NYCRN6's topic in General Nursing

    i think you just answered your own question? You've been paying them $10 dollars a month and all you've gotten were e-mails.

  11. Times Are Tough When...

    inland18mempire replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    that's awful. whenever we need to call off, we call staffing and say we can't come in. They respond with "ok, we will take you off the schedule". And that's it - no questions

  12. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    inland18mempire replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    my hospital buys us food every other week, and caters food here and there. nothing daily,

  13. I hate nursing

    inland18mempire replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    I'm just like the OP - except one thing, I'm already an RN. I started nursing school because I was bored, too, and needed something to do. Now that I'm working full time as a nurse, I absolutely hate...
