  6. I am a worried CNA

    Krissy NY replied to Krissy NY's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  7. Privacy question

    Krissy NY replied to Krissy NY's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  12. From bad to worse in my facility

    Krissy NY replied to Krissy NY's topic in General Nursing

    I truly feel that most the CNA's I work with are there because their welfare had run out. I was suckered into giving one of the "nicer" ones a ride home each night, out of my way and in a very bad...

  18. Topic: Venting in Private?

    Krissy NY replied to Nursie30's topic in General Nursing

    Krissy NY replied to RN-PA's topic in General Nursing
