    Co-workers...when they run hot and cold on you.

    Poi Dog replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    I avoid hot and cold people like I avoid dog poo on the sidewalk. My reasoning is that if someone is going to be a female or male dog, then be one every day and not just shift like the wind direction....

    Describe your dream LTC

    Poi Dog replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This thread made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Ahh, to have and work in a "dream facility". I'd like to add: -Workers can choose with whom they want to work with. -Lazy workers will not be given...

    Poi Dog replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    How physically demanding is working as a cna?

    Poi Dog replied to j119's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You body will be used and abused like a rental car. Kidding, a little. Seriously though, CNA work is taxing on the body. You will do a lot of lifting (sometimes 2-3x your weight), bending, squatting,...

    Poi Dog replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    My friend, a Doctor, told me the story of a man who came into the ER because he had put a Budweiser bottle up where it should not go. I'll bet that's not what Budweiser was advertising

    Poi Dog replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on your program. I did mine through the Red Cross and they provided us with a royal blue scrub. Granted it did come in 3 weeks after we were done. That's how they roll in
