1. why are cna's treated like they are stupid and replaceable?

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to Purple Princess's topic in Geriatric

   And the CNAs who work with me in both settings are worth their weight in gold! Without them, I couldn't do my job! I always help them if/when they need it. We are all part of the same job and we all have one goal in mind...effective and supportive re...

2. working graveyard shifts in LTC

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to April_LPN's topic in Geriatric

   You'll most likely be the only nurse on shift so you'll be in charge of everything! In my facility the night shift nurse gives alot of routine noc meds and PRNs, fills out lab slips, early morning glucose checks, and anything else that can't be done ...

3. Elitism anyone?

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

   Shame on you for talking to "those people"! How dare you violate the codes of intolerance and stupidity! All of these cliques are pathetic. Just a bunch of old people reverting back to their high school days. At least we could claim youthful stupidi...

4. Elitism anyone?

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker posted a topic in General Nursing

   I worked with my boss today and it was really great! The problem is that she is so damn elitest! She was referring to the non-nursing staff and asked me if I ate with "those people" for lunch every day. I told her that, "yes, I do!" Some nurses need...

5. help, suspect abuse

   Report it and let the investigators do their job! Seriously. If nothing is wrong, then it will pass...

6. Anti-Dentites and Anti-Doctor-ites Unite!

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello kids! I am motivationally challenged right now. It's been forever since I've seen a doctor for a pelvic and even longer since I've seen a dentist. Bad, bad nursie! I preach to my residents about taking care of their health...and then I don't se...

7. Help regarding nursing priorities in regards to patient care

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to tterri22's topic in General Nursing

   I'm still having a good laugh about that one! Obviously, this person did not go to my nursing school!

8. Help regarding nursing priorities in regards to patient care

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to tterri22's topic in General Nursing

   I would have done the exact same thing that you did! Waiting 10 extra minutes to be cleaned up will not cause skin breakdown or major trauma...it can wait! Your supervisor has no backbone. Had the patient not complained, you'd have been commended for...

9. I Passed Boards!!!!

   Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to JB CC-RN's topic in General Nursing

   I can't wait to see RN after my name!

10. Should I stay on Med/Surg?

    Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to Mommy/Grandma's topic in General Nursing

    Planned parenthood "promotes" abortions. Some people will do anything to "promote" the anti-choice movement! Yawn. Stretch. Anyway... Have you thought about doing agency work?

12. My boss is out of control!

    Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    The truth is that old habits die hard. I won't change my boss and neither will she change me...so I'm going to change positions to limit my contact with her. It's my fault if I continue to let her be abusive toward me. I'm not happy right now and I n...

13. My boss is out of control!

    Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker posted a topic in General Nursing

    She calls me constantly for every little thing. I love my job in Assisted Living and the patients adore me as well...but my boss is out of control. On every single day that I have off, she calls and marks the messages "Urgent" even though they're far...

14. Let's Hear About Your First Year

    Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure yet. I was just laid off, am having a difficult time finding another LPN job, and am not sure that I even care about being a nurse anymore... I was treated like crap at my last job. The pay sucked as well. No vacation time, a sucky sche...

15. No Privacy With BON?

    Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker replied to NurseDiva04's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously. This is just one more instance where our patients are given far more respect than we are. Sigh...
