  1. Slandered at work by another nurse...need advice asap

    It upsets me very much that someone would do things to cost someone their livilihood or try and tarnish a career. The idea that she suggested you be fired is unbelievable. As a new nurse she should be...

  4. I posted this yesterday. I am hoping someone will make a comment...good or bad. I called these people today to inquire about my check and was told abruptly that it would be mailed and hung up on. I am...
  5. arrogant nurses

    Dear purple I too am a CNA and honey this problem is rampant. I am in New York so even the CNA's have very bad attitudes. I have left jobs because of this and have come here for help. It is good you...

  7. horrible orientation at hospital

    After she said "go ahead and sign out and I'll tell the nurse" I remember I said "this is not good..I need to support myself" and she said "I know, I feel so sorry for you" and just walked
  8. horrible orientation at hospital

    Hi everyone. I am a CNA and I have posted here before on my job dilemmas. I am a shy soft spoken person and often times it makes things difficult for me in the job setting. Recently I was thrilled to...
  9. Asked for help and got the opposite!

    I am in between jobs and I have been interviewing, but I am getting down to the wire financially. I had to get up the nerve to call my father for help and he really let me have it. I posted here b4...

    You made it through nursing school! You worked in ICU! My gosh I dream of getting through school and working in such a demanding unit! Well..if all else fails you can move to New York. We need smart...
  13. Hi everyone. I always get great feedback here so I have decided to once again share my experience. I am a new CNA (5 months now) and I became a CNA to dip my toe in the water of nursing. I also...
  14. Depressed about job experiences as CNA

    Everything you all have shared is very helpful. Third shift I think you really struck a cord though. Maybe I am so full of insecurities from past experiences that I assume things at certain times. We...
  15. Depressed about job experiences as CNA

    During my interview in the oncology unit of a hospital I was asked why I had left my position in LTC. I told them I very much wanted to work in a hospital as I could gain new skills and work with all...
  16. I am a worried CNA

  17. I am a worried CNA

    I am not accustomed to dealing with the low life I had the misfortune of working with. I feel that the "hard" lifestyle these people were entertaining effected their behavior at work as well as their...
  18. Not sure if I have what it takes to be a cna?

    I am a CNA and also plan on going on to my LPN. I think that to be a CNA you have to care for people and demonstrate compassion and regard. You have to be responsible (your residents really depend on...
  19. Privacy question

    I have posted many times regarding my position as a CNA in LTC. It has been an extremely negative one. To sum it up, I have watched CNA's be neglectful of residents, I have watched LPN's be verbally...
  20. Privacy question

    :) I started my new job and so far so good. The RN who is orientating me is lovely and I will be working the day shift (not 3 to 11) It is a bit of a commute but well worth it....I want to leave my...
  21. I did it!

    I am the CNA who posted often about the miserable conditions of the nursing home I worked in. I gave my resignation and start a new job tomorrow. I miss my residents and my heart is still with...
  22. What are your methods for keeping your cool at work?

    Hi there No it is not you! I consider myself a very even tempered empathetic and caring person...but I too have a resident who could catapult me into a raging b*tch without some strength She is a tiny...
  23. Mamma's Boys (vent)

    LOL She also did all of his laundry and cooked him dinner each night...so she was told not to call during "their dinner". I could tell so many anecdotes from that brief affair. I know the mother told...
  24. Nurse with a history of eating disorder?

    Seek the help you need..and get into that school no matter what it takes. I do not think you should be discredited for this. I am not sure how it works, but what I do know is experience is the best...
